Questions
Will this work with any air fryer, including basket and oven-style models?
Yes. The timings are based on standard domestic air fryers (3.5–5.5 litres). If you have a larger oven-style drawer air fryer or a dual-zone model, the planner includes adjusted notes and a separate running order for two baskets.
Can I cook a full turkey in this, not just a crown?
This planner is built around turkey crowns, which are the realistic size for most air fryers. A whole bird won't fit in a standard domestic basket, so if you're set on a whole turkey you'll need oven space for that part and can use the air fryer for everything else.
Do I need to parboil the potatoes first?
Yes, this makes a real difference to how crisp they get. The planner includes parboiling time as part of the potato timing, so it's already factored into your countdown.
What if my turkey crown isn't fully cooked by the time stated?
The timings are a starting point, not a guarantee, because every air fryer runs slightly differently. The planner tells you exactly when to start checking with a thermometer and what to do if it needs longer, so you're never guessing on food safety.
Is this a recipe book?
No, it's a timing and running-order tool. It assumes you already have your recipes or shop-bought items sorted and need help with the logistics of fitting it all through one or two air fryer baskets.
