Air fryers have been a sensation since their popularity skyrocketed in the late 2010s. Offering the ability to cook countless foods in a shorter time span than a deep fryer or conventional oven — and with much less oil — numerous home chefs have discovered the appliance's benefits. Given air fryers can create both convenient and healthy meals, there's an ever-growing list of foods that they can make successfully. In fact, you can use your air fryer to prepare a variety of different meat products, as well.

The Best And Worst Types Of Meat To Cook In The Air Fryer

We often think of scrambled eggs as the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket: when we're a bit tired and need comfort and support, they're there for us. The ingredients for a basic scramble are almost always on hand, and they're so simple and quick to make that most of us can put together a decent plate of them even at our worst, whether it's first thing in the morning before the coffee is ready or the wee hours of the night after too much partying. In either case, you know you'll get a soothing dose of nourishment with very little effort.

Cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving favorite, but the bright bitterness and thick texture of canned cranberry sauce is versatile. It has a thick, ringed texture from the sauce can, which makes it good as a flat pâté of sorts, but if open up the can a different way, you can easily reshape it. This way, you can spread it neatly over your sandwich or besides your turkey and store-bought mashed potatoes with parmesan.

Perhaps you're one of the many people who've switched from milk to dark chocolate because the latter has less sugar and more antioxidants. But before you tear into that candy bar or hit the kitchen to start cooking up a homemade treat (like our salted caramel recipe), there's something you should know. Your dark chocolate may be hiding an even darker secret. It's known to contain two heavy metals — cadmium and lead — that can cause harmful health effects. Pregnant people and children are at higher risk.

When you look at the ingredients list for homemade ice cream in a bag, most of them make sense to the logical human brain: milk or half-and-half, sugar, the flavorings of your choice, and ice? Yep. All that makes sense. Rock salt? Nope. Not so much. The plastic bag you place inside the coffee can? Ditto. Why do you need both the bag AND the can for heaven's sake? Despite some of the parts of this equation seeming illogical, all components play a role when you're making ice cream without an ice cream maker. It comes down to science.

If you read labels on food items before you buy them, then you've probably seen the dolphin-safe label on many brands of canned tuna. This graphic isn't informing you that the product is safe for dolphins to eat, or even hinting that the can contains dolphin meat mixed in with the tuna. It's meant to let you know that no dolphins were intentionally captured or harmed when the tuna was caught.

Sheree’s Homemade Cooking Made Easy

I enjoy making my own chinese food at home instead of purchasing it out at the restaurants. It just tastes better to me and my family. I thought I would share my favorite beef and broccoli recipe with you. You will need the following ingredients:

I know I’ve never met the man, but I feel like Gordon Ramsay just gets me. Maybe that’s because I’ve eaten at his restaurants on a few occasions, and every time, it’s been some of the best meals of my life. I’m talking so much so that I begged his team to give me his risotto recipe to make at home. Or, maybe I like him because, for a Michelin-star chef, his palette is actually quite relatable.

While there's nothing quite like a bagel with cream cheese, there are so many toppings beyond the basics that will take a standard bagel to new heights. Cream cheese might be the go-to condiment, but don't be afraid to think out of the box about other types of creamy spreads, savory dips, and even extra indulgent desserts on top of your bagel.

15 Bagel Toppings Beyond Cream Cheese To Try ASAP

It's no secret that wine is a supreme flavor-booster when added to all sorts of dishes, tenderizing meats and adding juicy, acidic notes (just be sure to let the alcohol cook off properly). But it's not the only alcohol worth using in your kitchen: Former "Top Chef" contestant and James Beard Award-winner Kwame Onwuachi is a big advocate for pouring a little beer into your sauce or braise to deepen the flavor. In particular, he's a fan of using heavier beers like Guinness to add depth and boost the spiciness of his Afro-Caribbean cuisine, which he serves at New York City restaurant Tatiana. But beer can work in a broad range of dishes beyond Onwuachi's focal points, too.

Fish is generally a fast-cooking food with an array of nutritional benefits. If you buy it whole, however, or catch a mess of it yourself, there's some work to be done before you can fillet and cook it. "Cleaning" a fish involves disposing of the gills, blood, and guts, along with the animal's skin and scales. Descaling is not absolutely necessary, and many cuisines the world over serve fish whole, scales, head, and all. Still, unless you're grilling a whole fish, plenty of recipes call for the scales to be removed, and there's a bit of a trick to this step — you can't just pull fish skin off the way you remove the silver membrane from ribs. Thankfully, there's a fish prep tip that will keep you from needing to buy a descaling tool to accomplish the job.

The Only Tool You Need To Descale Fish Is A Spoon

Buttery, toasty, savory, and oozing with cheese, crispy grilled cheese sandwiches are among the best midnight snacks one can have. Plus, they only take mere minutes to whip up. However, the next time you're up late and have a hankering for a quick bite, try replacing it with a snack that is sweet, nutty, crunchy, and melts in your mouth — a grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich makes for one seriously scrumptious substitution. Nothing against a classic PB&J, but the extra effort is worth it for an experience that will truly excite your tastebuds — heating the sandwich changes it both texturally and flavor-wise.

While you might be used to using canned tomatoes for a sweet tomato sauce or savory soup, this pantry staple can be helpful in plenty of other ways too. For example, once roasted in the oven, canned tomatoes can actually make the perfect sandwich filling. The heat of the oven drives off excess moisture from canned tomatoes, resulting in firmer and more flavorful tomatoes that are perfect for sliding onto sandwiches. With this hack, you no longer have to worry about any tomato juice making your bread soggy, either.

General Tso's crispy, tender, sweet, and sauce-covered chicken is a beloved staple on Chinese restaurant menus around the United States — and it's arguably the most famous Chinese-American dish. But emphasis should be placed on the "American" portion of that term, as General Tso's chicken is not something you'd genuinely find on a menu in China, and it's one of the many "international" dishes that were actually invented in the U.S.

This is a delicious steak/beef marinade that is terrific over rice, noodles, or even in a hard roll as a sandwich. The strips of beef are marinaded overnight and then baked, fried, or grilled to perfection.

If you're looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into your cooking, canned corn is an easy and budget-friendly option that makes this sweet, tender veggie available all year. It also makes a fantastic item to stockpile in your pantry in case you have to deal with extreme weather or other hazards that might knock out power. The best brands have multiple styles available and offer a great value, not to mention fantastic taste. Flavor is the top criteria for my taste tests but texture and variety are also key. In my opinion, canned corn should be sweet but still maintain a hint of saltiness, which actually brings out the natural taste of the corn. It should also be tender without crossing over to mushy and not have an excess amount of water in the can, which can impact the flavor and texture. I like corn that has a bit of crispiness without being tough and chewy, which can be common at the base of whole kernel corn.
