It came from Cooks Essential and I got it from QVC in 2016.  Mine had a little 
what they call a wire rack.  My friend’s model was the same, but it came with 
what they call a cake pan.
We called them a grill and a bowl.
But, I called around early in 2018 and inquired about getting these items.  I 
gave him the ones he and I had, and I kept the new items I bought.
I have never tried to bake a little cake in my air fryer, but that would be 
interesting.
It’s a metal bowl with a handle on it that lays down to the side.
You’d have to handle it with a mitt.
But I did use that little grill a few times for chicken patties or burgers.
If you press the middle button, then the lower right, then the middle again, 
they beep and then it starts the preheating cycle, maybe it takes up to 10 
minutes.  But I think it heats it to 350.  There are 4 presets on it, so after 
it is preheated, you press the middle one, then whichever of the other 4, and 
the middle again.
The four buttons have meanings, whether you are changing time or temp.
But as far as the presets, you go by: the top left says fries, chicken, steak, 
and fish.
I think fries is 400 for 12 minutes. I think chicken is 18 minutes at 360, 
steak is 10 minutes at 360 and I think fish is 400 for 10.
But in some other mode, when you press those buttons, they increase either the 
time or temp.
I never learned much more than the presets.
Somewhere in this house is the book that came with mine.  If I could have it 
found, I could get someone to record it for me.  Now, more books are available 
to us.
I’ve been just going by the seat of my pants.  I just feel the potatoes along 
the way and decide they need more time by the way it feels.
 , 
I am sure glad I got this one so I can at least feel these 5 buttons.  I think 
it cost me about 120 bucks or so and I think I got 5 easy payments.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for sharing these recipes.
It is a different book than the one that Marjorie sells at the Book Stop.  I 
have that bpook, and about 48 other ones.  I enjoy buying them and also helping 
once in a while to put one together.
It’s so much fun to read them or just to make things.
My air fryer has been here since 2016.  It’s not like these new fancy ones they 
have.  There are just two top buttons, two bottom buttons, and one in the 
middle.
They beep when you press them, and it’s not really too complicated.  Mostly I 
like to put frozen foods in it, but I have made a few raw things.
I like my microwave, oven, crockpot and my fryer.
Lora and Firefly

I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected as by the time this goes to

chosen Air Fryer Recipes  for this column as Air Fryers seems to be in vogue 
these days. See you in September, Marjorie.

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Freshly ground black pepper

Cooking spray

1 small or 1/2 medium cucumber, halved and seeded

1 cup coconut yogurt (or dairy yogurt)

Go Basic:

To make plain fried shrimp, omit the coconut milk, lime zest, and shredded 
coconut. Set up a breading station with 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, 
lightly beaten, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls, and 
season each with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, coat each shrimp in 
the flour, dip in the egg, and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Transfer the shrimp 
to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and continue with the recipe.
