Roast. The roast function is preset to 205°C, making it ideal for roasting joints of meat and vegetables. This function allows you to cook your food evenly and efficiently, so you don't have to worry about over or undercooking your dishes.

Some of the popular things to make in the air fryer are potatoes (chips, roasted, baked), muffins, scones, and cakes.

Air fryers can get up to pretty high temperatures, making them great for roasting and broiling. When you use an air fryer to roast, it will default to a higher temperature and cook for a shorter amount of time than it does while air frying.

It may seem weird to have a Sunday roast in the weekday dinners chapter, but thanks to the magic of the air fryer, this gorgeous roast beef can be ready in just over an hour – making midweek roasts totally possible.

Parchment paper is a safe and effective liner to use in the air fryer. To avoid safety hazards, weigh down the paper with food and keep away from the heating element. Parchment paper can be heated up to roughly 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are four main types of oven-safe dishware: glass, metal, cast iron, and ceramic, though not all glass is necessarily oven-safe (as we learned with Pyrex recently). Since air fryers are again, essentially mini convection ovens, any oven-safe dish should be safe in an air fryer.
