Cooking With An Air Fryer
We Tried These Products in an Air Fryer and Here's What Actually Worked
Updated March 10, 2020
It's no secret—the air fryer is here to stay. You asked, so we tried nine of our popular products in the air fryer and we had to share the results. Using a GoWise USA 3.7-quart Air Fryer, we wanted to see how crescent rolls, cinnamon rolls, biscuits, pizza rolls, toaster pastries and brownies cooked up (and we were impressed!). If you're looking for golden, flaky dough that's cooked to perfection, the air fryer is your new secret weapon.

Our Classics
From our classic Pillsbury favorites like flaky crescent rolls, warm biscuits and sweet cinnamon rolls to delicious Toaster Strudel™ pastries and party-approved Totino's® Pizza Rolls®, these products all cook to perfection with a little help from the trusty air fryer.
Crescent Rolls
We're always looking for new ways to make our fan-favorite Pillsbury™ crescent rolls. This oven-free method cooks up four delicious crescent rolls per batch and best of all, the cleanup is done in a snap.
How to Make Crescent Rolls in an Air Fryer
Step 1: Cut one 8-inch round of cooking parchment paper and place in the bottom of air fryer basket. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
Step 2: Open one 8-count can of Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Roll up each loosely, starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point.
Step 3: Place four crescents rolls on parchment paper in air fryer basket. Refrigerate remaining four crescent rolls until ready to cook the second batch.
Step 4: Set air fryer to 300°F and cook for 5 minutes. Remove basket from fryer; use a pair of tongs to turn over crescent rolls and place back on parchment paper.
Step 5: Cook 4 to 6 minutes more, or until crescents are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through. Serve immediately (or wrap loosely in foil while baking second batch). Repeat with second batch.
Cinnamon Rolls
Now you can make cinnamon rolls at home without heating up your kitchen with the oven. We used the air fryer for both our Pillsbury™ original cinnamon rolls and Grands!™ Cinnamon rolls with great results. Keep your icing on hand and get ready to enjoy these tasty treats.
How to Make Pillsbury™ Original Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer
Step 1: Cut one 8-inch round of cooking parchment paper and place in the bottom of air fryer basket. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
Step 2: Open one 8-count can of Pillsbury™ original refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Place cinnamon rolls, with cinnamon topping side down, on parchment paper in air fryer basket.
Step 3: Set air fryer to 320°F and cook for 6 minutes. Place a large plate over air fryer basket and invert. Discard parchment paper.
Step 4: Using a pair of tongs, transfer cinnamon rolls back to air fryer basket with cinnamon topping up.
Step 5: Cook 4 to 6 minutes more or until cinnamon rolls are a deep golden brown and rolls are thoroughly cooked through. Top finished cinnamon rolls with icing and serve immediately.
How to Make Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer
Step 1: Cut one 8-inch round of cooking parchment paper and place in bottom of air fryer basket. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
Step 2: Open one 5-count can of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ original cinnamon rolls. Place cinnamon rolls on parchment paper in air fryer basket.

Step 4: Using a pair of tongs, transfer cinnamon rolls back to air fryer basket. Cook 4-6 minutes more, or until the cinnamon rolls are a deep golden brown and rolls are thoroughly cooked through. Remove from air fryer basket and top with icing. Serve warm for best results.
Biscuits
These savory Pillsbury™ biscuits get the air fryer treatment and are on the table in less than 15 minutes. Toss out your parchment paper, wipe out your air fryer and the cleanup is done (It's that easy!).

Pizza Rolls
Craving a mid-afternoon snack? Your air fryer can now make wonderfully crisp Totino's® Pizza Rolls® in under 10 minutes! Whether you're making a small batch or the whole bag, we've got you covered.
How to Make Totino's® Pizza Rolls® in an Air Fryer
Step 1: Empty one 15-count box of Totino's® pizza rolls into air fryer basket.
Step 2: Set air fryer to 370°F and cook for 5 minutes. Pull air fryer basket out and shake pizza rolls to ensure even cooking.

Alternative Method: Making more than a snack? For Totino's® 40-count bag, place entire contents into air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes. Then shake air fryer basket and cook 4 to 6 minutes more, or until edges are golden brown and pizza rolls are thoroughly cooked through.
Toaster Strudel™
We've found the ultimate hack to warm, flaky Pillsbury™ Toaster Strudel™ without needing to turn on your oven or toaster! Due to its rapid air circulation cooking process, the air fryer perfectly browns both sides of the Toaster Strudel™ without any burning in as little as 8 minutes. Talk about an all-around win!
Compared to a traditional toaster oven (left), we saw the air fryer Toaster Strudel™ was more evenly cooked (without any lines from the toaster oven).
How to Make Pillsbury™ Toaster Strudel™ in an Air Fryer
Step 1: Cut one 8-inch round of cooking parchment paper and place in bottom of air fryer basket. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
Step 2: Open one 6-count box of Pillsbury™ Toaster Strudel™. Place two pastries on parchment paper in air fryer basket. Return remaining pastries to freezer until ready to cook.
Step 3: Set air fryer to 350°F and cook for 5 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, carefully flip pastries over and place back on parchment paper.
Step 4: Cook for 3 minutes more, or until pastries are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
As always, when working with an air fryer, keep these tips in mind:
- Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
- Our recipes do not call for preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature and start. Never preheat with parchment paper alone.
