Well versed in all things related to the kitchen, we find ourselves careful not to recommend single-use gadgets that take up valuable drawer, counter and cabinet space. While admittedly reluctant to join the ever-growing air fryer trend, these multitasking miracles have really won us over!

The air fryers on the market today come in a variety of sizes and styles. One thing they all have in common is their ability to multitask. Their uses are nearly limitless.

Beginners may want to keep it simple with Tater Tots, corn dogs or Pizza Rolls. The air fryer also works wonders for reheating and re-crisping leftover french fries, chicken tenders or other previously deep-fried foods. As time goes by and you start getting more acquainted with your machine, you may find yourself using the air fryer for almost everything – bacon, sausage links and patties, meatballs, chimichangas, chicken thighs, chicken tenders, wings and salmon. Even meatloaf and baby red potatoes can be cooked together and on the table in less than 30 minutes. Advanced users know that even chocolate chip cookies, brownies, apple crisp and homemade toaster pastries turn out great in an air fryer, too.

Convenience and taste aren't the only benefits air fryers offer. They also boast decreased cooking times and potential health benefits. Most air fryer cooking requires little to no added oil. Often just a quick spritz of olive oil spray does the trick. This not only helps eliminate large amounts of saturated fats and calories, but it also allows heat and Rapid Air Technology to help create what is called the Maillard reaction. This chemical reaction between sugars and amino acids in air-fried foods mimics the taste and smell of deep-fried foods. Cleaning up messy stovetops and pans of oil can be a thing of the past.

Tasty Tips:

  • Our delis now carry Bub's Aussie Pies and DelSur Empanadas. They cook so perfectly in the air fryer that you'll think you got them fresh from a restaurant. We recommend cooking them at 375° for about 10 minutes.
     
  • Kowalski's Turkey or Beef Italian Meatballs from the Meat Department cook perfectly in a 400° air fryer for 9-10 minutes.
     
  • We recommend a spritz of Kowalski's Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray to help crisp and brown most savory foods in your air fryer.

Selection and availability of products and ingredients vary by market.
