Learn the basics of using an air fryer.

Did you receive an air fryer as a gift for the holidays? Mary Spencer will show you the best ways to use your new appliance. The two recipes she will demonstrate will convince you to make room for an air fryer on your kitchen countertop if you don’t already have one. Plenty of tips will be included. Check out an air fryer cookbook, or an air fryer from our Library of Things afterward!
