Most newer air fryers — especially Cosori, Ninja, and Instant Vortex — come with a free app that has hundreds of air fryer recipes with exact times and temperatures. Smart Wi-Fi models can also be started and stopped from your phone.

Even without Wi-Fi, the recipe library alone helps you figure out how long to cook anything from frozen fries to chicken thighs.
