As the Sales Manager at Foshan Linden Intelligent Appliances Co., Ltd., I’ve spent years showcasing our air fryer ovens—available in 12L, 16L, and 30L capacities—to buyers across North America, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. These appliances are more than just cooking tools; they’re versatile kitchen powerhouses that can simplify your life in unexpected ways. While our air fryer ovens excel at preparing healthy, delicious meals, their potential goes far beyond traditional cooking. In this guide, I’ll share five creative ways to use your air fryer oven, from baking to dehydrating, to make it the ultimate multi-tasker in your kitchen. Let’s unlock the full potential of this innovative appliance!
Why Air Fryer Ovens Are Multi-Tasking Marvels
Air fryer ovens use rapid air circulation to cook food evenly with minimal oil, delivering crispy results in less time than traditional ovens. According to Healthline, air frying can cut fat content by up to 80%, making it a healthier choice. But their versatility doesn’t stop at frying. Our Foshan Linden air fryer ovens, with customizable settings and spacious designs, can handle a range of tasks, from baking to roasting and beyond.
With three production lines and a focus on quality, we’ve engineered our air fryer ovens to meet diverse needs. Whether you’re using our 12L model for small tasks or the 30L for bigger projects, these tips will help you maximize your appliance’s potential.
Way 1: Bake Perfect Desserts with Ease
Why Bake in an Air Fryer Oven?
Air fryer ovens are fantastic for baking small-batch desserts. Their compact size and precise temperature control ensure even baking without preheating a full-sized oven. This saves energy and time, perfect for quick treats.
How to Do It
Use our 16L air fryer oven for baking muffins, cookies, or mini cakes. Adjust the temperature to 320–350°F, depending on the recipe. For example, muffins bake beautifully at 325°F for 12–15 minutes.

Way 2: Dehydrate Fruits and Veggies for Snacks
Why Dehydrate in an Air Fryer Oven?
Some of our air fryer ovens, like the 30L model, double as food dehydrators. Dehydrating preserves nutrients and creates healthy snacks without added sugars. It’s a great way to use up excess produce.
How to Do It
Set your air fryer oven to its lowest temperature, typically 120–140°F. Slice fruits or vegetables thinly (1/8 inch) and arrange them in a single layer. Dehydrate for 6–12 hours, checking periodically.
Recipe: Apple Cinnamon Chips
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Dehydrating Time: 8 hours
Servings: 4
Calories per Serving: ~90 kcal
Ingredients:
- 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:
- Toss apple slices in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Arrange slices on air fryer oven trays.
- Set to 135°F and dehydrate for 8 hours.
- Store in an airtight container.
Why It Works: Our air fryer ovens ensure even airflow for consistent drying, rivaling standalone dehydrators.
Way 3: Roast Nuts for Flavorful Snacking
Why Roast Nuts in an Air Fryer Oven?
Roasting nuts enhances their flavor and crunch. The air fryer oven’s rapid air technology roasts nuts evenly in minutes, compared to 20–30 minutes in a traditional oven.
How to Do It
Spread nuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set to 320°F and roast for 5–8 minutes, shaking halfway. Season with spices like paprika or sea salt for extra flavor.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes

- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:

- Spread in the air fryer basket.
- Roast at 320°F for 6 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Cool before serving.
Pro Tip: Our 12L model is perfect for small batches, ensuring every nut is perfectly roasted.
Way 4: Reheat Leftovers Like a Pro
Why Reheat in an Air Fryer Oven?
Reheating in an air fryer oven restores crispiness to leftovers like pizza, fries, or chicken wings. It’s faster than an oven and prevents the sogginess you get from microwaves.
How to Do It
Place leftovers in the basket in a single layer. Set to 350°F and reheat for 3–5 minutes, checking for warmth. For pizza, try 360°F for 4 minutes to crisp the crust.
Example: Crispy Pizza Reheat
- Place pizza slices in the air fryer basket.
- Set to 360°F for 4 minutes.
- Check for crispiness and enjoy.
Why It Works: The air fryer oven’s hot air circulation revives textures, making leftovers taste freshly made.
Way 5: Grill Veggies for Healthy Sides
Why Grill in an Air Fryer Oven?
Our air fryer ovens, especially the 30L model with grill rack accessories, can mimic grilling. You get charred, smoky flavors without firing up an outdoor grill, perfect for year-round cooking.
How to Do It
Toss vegetables with a light coat of olive oil and spices. Use the grill rack and set to 400°F for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Zucchini, peppers, and eggplant work great.
Recipe: Grilled Veggie Medley
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
