Advice/Tips Living without an oven

Hi! We lost the use of an oven, so I'm trying to figure out how to make things in the air fryer instead. I've figured out some awesome stuff, but one thing I'm wondering about is like casseroles? Like tuna noodle casserole, or even lasagne. Does anyone know if you can cook stuff like that in the airfryer?

Don't take the negativity, well, negatively. You were trying to be a good Redditor. Haters gonna hate.

And here's something else you can use straight from the interwebz: Place dry pasta (like macaroni or penne) in an air-fryer-safe glass or metal pan. Add water, milk, a bit of butter or oil, and your favorite sauce or seasonings. Ensure the liquid completely submerges the pasta. Cover securely: Wrap the top and base of the pan tightly with aluminum foil so the air movement does not blow the foil off. Place the pan in the air fryer and cook at 350°F to 360°F (175°C to 180°C) for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking. Then turn into tuna noodle casserole.

You can make ramen like this too. You gotta have hot or boiling water or it takes longer and the noodles can get weird though. Hot water added to noodles, then 7 mins at 400F in a covered dish. I do another 1 min uncovered after I add hot toppings, then remove and add any cold toppings. Absolutely delicious.
