This is an awesome cookbook and if you have an air fryer you should get this right away. I've tried several recipes from it and everything was so delicious. Highly recommend!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I have a hard time with cookbooks. More often than not, I find one or two recipes I love while the others are either too "gourmet" or full of food I can't stand. This one does a great job of having several recipes I really enjoyed. I haven't made everything in this cookbook, but the things I have made have all been good. This is also an Instant Brands book, which means that if you have an Instant Brand Air Fryer, it will make it that much easier. I have tried the Scotch Eggs, which are fantastic, as well as the baked oatmeal. The recipes that include the rotisserie helped a lot, as I struggled using it with just the owners manual. I would definitely recommend this for air fryer owners, new and old alike!

Thanks to Mariner Books for a free, advanced copy of this book.

This air fryer cookbook has a lot going for it. It's full of beautiful pictures, tells how to convert traditional oven-baked recipes so they can be cooked in an air fryer, and it contains a wide variety of recipes (breakfast/brunch, snacks and appetizers, vegetarian, beef & pork, chicken & turkey, fish & seafood, vegetables/sides, desserts, and condiments). The only thing I didn't like was that it's for a very specific brand of air fryer (Instant Pot). While the recipes will likely work fine for similar oven-type air fryers, many won't work for the basket-type that I have. This was not apparent from the title.

I requested a copy of this book to review for friends who have recently gotten air fryers and are considering the air fryer oven.

The collection of recipes truly has something for everyone. The arancini and the mushroom and poblano tacos are definitely recipes I want to try myself.

This is definitely going to be a cookbook I recommend for people buying air fryer ovens. I also think I’ll buy this book for housewarmings if I know they have an air fryer oven.

I’m only dinging this one star because I wish there were more photos of the food in the book.

This is a useful book, especially for a new user of an air fryer. It is laid out nicely, illustrations are good, and it covers many categories of food. If you were giving someone an air fryer, this might be the cookbook to give them with it.

An inspiring collection of recipes for your air fryer, there really is something for all tastes and dietary restrictions. It has been written for a specific make of air fryer oven so you do need to make adaptions if you don't have that particular make and some recipes don't sometimes suit a non oven shaped air fryer but you can work that out before you start cooking.

I do enjoy photos with my cook books and not every recipe has a photo but the recipes I've tried are all sound. I've particularly enjoyed the arancini, stuffed peppers and egg bites

Is there anything better than an Air Fryer. I use mine weekly and it is one of the best appliances I have ever owned. I loved this cookbook because it gave me EVEN MORE ideas on how to use it. From breakfast to dessert, this cookbook has a little bit of everything! I cannot wait to buy a hard copy.

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer oven and I love it. This cookbook is promoting instapots omni air fryer and it references to it quite frequently. Even though it is discussing instapots omni air fryer it almost all applies to most air fryers out there. There is a section that explains each function of the air fryer which includes, air fry, air bake, air roast, air toast, etc. Some air fryers have more then these basic functions and size of the air fryer basket is also going to vary.

The book is broken down into multiple sections which range all the way from breakfast to desert. Yes, you read that right, you can use your air fryer to make desert. Now, I actually have not used my air fryer for desert yet but I plan to. I actually picked up this cookbook because I feel like I am using my air fryer to the least of its abilities and I want to change that.

I found several recipes that I plan to try and they all seem pretty straight forward to use. All of the recipes use ingredients that are common household pantry staples. Each recipe includes nutritional information, which I greatly appreciate. The calories for the foods vary from pretty high to reasonable portions.

Rating: 4 out of 5 because I need more pictures, lol. I really love a cookbook that has a ton of pictures.

I think this is a very helpful book with usable recipes. Most users should be able to find things easily they want to cook.

Tried out 1 recipe from this book (asparagus & lemon) and it came out very dry & shriveled up after putting it inside air fryer. I’m not sure I want to spend more time making other recipes.

Air fryers are all the rage, and the newer air fryer ovens are even better, since they heat from both the top and the bottom. Instant Pot® has developed their own brand of air fryer oven and The Ultimate Air Fryer Oven Cookbook: Easy Recipes That Satisfy is written by Coco Morante expressly for use with the Instant Pot® Omni Air Fryer Oven. The recipes, however, work with all brands of air fryer ovens, as well as air fryers with a few adjustments.

This cookbook includes dozens of excellent, mouthwatering recipes that will tempt everyone. Since the air fryer ovens have several different cycles in addition to air frying. Depending on the model you own, your air fryer oven can also roast, rotisserie, bake, broil, slow cook, and dehydrate. Some can even proof dough.

The cookbook includes a chapter with tips, dos and don’ts, as well as pantry staple essentials, and tools that are necessary for use in the air fryer ovens. There are also beautiful photographs – not one of every recipe, but several and the ones that are included are beautiful. The recipes are written standard form, and are easy-to-follow.

Breakfast items are included as well as appetizers, snacks, meat, poultry, and fish dishes, as well as breads and desserts. The recipes have flavors from all over the world, and they are recipes that will appeal to almost everyone. The Ultimate Air Fryer Oven Cookbook is a fun cookbook worth adding to a cookbook collection. Since air fryers are so easy to use, the recipes will be used often.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Well-written with easy-to-follow recipes especially designed for air fryer ovens. These appliances are larger and more versatile than basket style air fryers and this cookbook exploits the additional functions in numerous recipes. Another plus to this cookbook is that all recipes have gluten-free versions and many vegan or vegetarian versions. For anyone following those diets, this is probably the most interesting air fryer cookbook that I have found. Recipes contain the standard fries and buffalo wings variations regularly found with some original delicious ones. Recipes appear to be tested and have mouth watering photos. This cookbook is a winner.

This is a good cookbook. I am new to the air fryer and this book is easy to follow. I love that with each recipe there is substitutes for vegetarians, gluten-free, and dairy free. There is a wide variety of recipes to choose from.

So I am fairly new to the air fryer phenomenon that seems to have swept across the world. I don't have the oven version but I have an air fryer 7-in -1 pot an air fryer grill. And I can see why they are so popular, they save me so much time sweating in the kitchen. The recipes in this book can be used in all variations which is great.

What I likes most about this book is that in the introduction section it explains what they are, what the different functions are used for, which I find on online forums are the things people usually struggle with. The author goes into details about what equipment can be useful to use alongside your air fryer and even a list of Do's and Don't, obviously showing someone who uses theirs and hasn't just decided to write a book about the subject, this comes through as you are reading. Even to how best to clean them, which is the worst part!

I tend to cook from scratch most of the time so am always looking for recipes and meal ideas, I also follow low calorie diet so some of the recipes are no good for me personally but could easily be adapted to suit. One of my favourite so far has been Rib-Eye or Strip Steak with herb butter, great easy instructions to follow and it tasted amazing.

Thank you for NetGalley to an advanced copy of this cookbook.

This is a nice compilation of air fryer recipes, with information on how to use the appliance well. Keep in mind this was published by the Instant Pot company for use with their specific AF oven. Most recipes will work on other devices, but it is specifically written with that machine in mind for the directions. Nutritional information is provided for each recipe. There are photos for only about 1/4 of the recipes, which is a bit of a disappointment for me. I really wish cookbooks would provide a small photo for each recipe (it doesn't have to be an artificial perfect one that's styled) instead of giant, long-winded recipes and a few full-page photos. That said, there are lots of recipes and there should be something for everyone.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

I hoped on the air fryer train last year, and it has quickly become my favorite appliance for easy and quick dinners. However, finding recipes to try hasn't been as easy as I expected. This book provides a good range of recipes to try in your air fryer. Everyone loves chicken and fries, but there are so many other meals that can be cooked in record time, and this book gave me some great ideas for things to make when I'm short on time or simply want to make an easy meal.

My daughter convinced me to acquire this appliance and has been teaching me. This volume adds lots of great ideas and tricks for using the pot to spice up dining. Lots of interesting recipes and hacks.

Easy to follow beginner air fryer oven cookbook.

I dont have an airfryer oven, just an air fryer but the recipe still works, you might need to twek the time a bit though.

I tried:
-pecan praline candied bacon, it reminded me of those millionaire bacons served in brunch places, delicious.
- bacon wrapped pineapple bites, very delicious, my daughter is obsessed with bacon.
- miso glazed salmon, came out great, miso, ginger and brown sugar is a winning combo.
- cabbage wedges with soy sauce and butter: very good flavour combination, and air fried / baked cabbage is always so good
- steakhouse baked potatoes, definitely didn't take as long as 45 minutes in an airfryer, but the flavour was good.

There are so many fantastic sounding recipes that I can’t wait to try in this treat of a cookbook! I only wish there were more pictures as that’s what really draws me in to a cookbook.

I don’t own an Instant Brand Air Fryer Oven, but do own a Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer sounds very similar with all the same functions right down to the rotisserie spit and dehydrate mode. I look forwards to testing some of these recipes out.
