Fry, fry again

Why an air fryer is a must-have addition in your kitchen

A not-so-secret truth in my house is that I am the world’s worst cook. My family jokes that it’s the reason my husband is as thin as he is. So, when I received an air fryer for Christmas last year, I was almost certain this device would gather dust. I was wrong. Many of the foolproof air fryers on the market are multi-functional and can be used for air-frying items like homemade french fries or Brussels sprouts or even cooking a whole rotisserie chicken. They also offer the ability to bake, roast, broil, reheat and dehydrate food, and use up to 80% less fat than deep-frying.

With guided cooking prompts and reminders to turn your food, an air fryer can make even a novice cook feel like a culinary genius and will soon become a go-to item in your kitchen.

Here are a few recipes that showcase the versatility of two types of air fryers—the basket air fryer and oven air fryer.
