Disclosure: I received an Air Fryer sample from Hamilton Beach to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.
Most weekends we usually order a family takeout, as we run a busy schedule during the week. It gives us the chance to unwind and spend some quality family time together. But during our spring break, Instead of ordering takeout, we stayed in and cooked a few of our favourites with the new Hamilton Beach Digital Air Fryer.
Perfect for Family Sized Meals
The Airfryer Uses little to no oil, you even get that crispy texture and great taste from chicken wings to french fries and all that’s in between. It has 6 pre-programmed settings, one touch is all it takes to recreate healthier versions of weekend treats, which saves you money as well. It’s convenient, powerful and no preheating is required, so results are quick and delicious! Once dinner is finished, the non-stick food basket is easy to clean, freeing up more time for weekend family fun!
The Air Fryer is perfect for family sized meals and comes with a generous 2.5L detachable frying basket and detachable non-stick oil tank.
Have you ever cooked bacon in the Air Fryer? We tried bacon early on and it quickly became a family favourite for the air-fryer. It’s quick, less mess and no spills to clean up and comes out nice and crispy. For the best crispy Bacon, arrange 4-6 pieces of bacon in the basket and cook on 350 for 8 minutes.
We also have tried a variety of other foods in the air fryer. Fries come out nice and crispy, much better than oven baking, while fish is moist even while the breaded coating is crispy. We even made some donuts, which actually came out quite delicious and cooked in half the time. The donuts were better by the fact that we did not have to deep fry them. They were significantly healthier, than if we had made them the traditional way.
Have you tried cooking bacon in the Air Fryer?
I would love to make my own fries in this fryer.
I own 3 air fryers, the actifryer, the phillips air fryer and the air oven, and out of all 3 I love my oven I can do more in it!
Ummmmm, the bacon & fries in your pics look super yummy. I’ve heard wonderful reviews on the Air Fryer, unfortunately we don’t have one yet.
I have never owned or used an air flyer. The bacon do look nice and crispy. I am considering get one.
I’ve heard great things about these!
I’ve never used an air fryer. They look like a great way to get crispy food without deep frying. Cooking bacon in the air fryer would avoid oil splatter all over the stove too!
I have an actifry. I’ve done bacon wrapped chicken breasts in it but never thought to just cook bacon in it. I’ll have to give it a try.
You should try making sweet potato fries in the air fryer. So good!

THe bacon looks great – but I would like to try ‘fish fingers’ also & see what they taste like – healthy
I would absolutely love one of these! The bacon looks amazing!
I have not tried an air fryer but have been thinking about getting one. I really like that it uses so little oil and that it can be used to cook quite a few different things.

Sounds useful, I have never used an air fryer, this yields a nice crunch that is healthier than conventional fryers

Thanks for this review – perhaps this would have more purpose than the air-fryer I have, which is an Acti-fry.
It is amazing the things you can cook in an air fryer. The bacon looks delicious!
