I Tried TikTok’s Favorite Air Fryer — And the Results Shocked Me (It’s Self Cleaning!)
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. To be honest, I’d love to cook more, but find it challenging to make time for it. As a result, I often turn to quick-to-prepare meals and even quicker snacks (if I’m not ordering takeout). Air fryers have become one of my trusted kitchen companions based on speediness alone. I also like that I can bypass the greasy foods and have something that tastes just as satisfying in much less time. I was slow to take the leap into buying an air fryer, and even though I use them now, I’m still pretty slow when it comes to selecting one. However, while scrolling through TikTok a while ago, there was an air fryer that caught my eye immediately. The Fritaire Air Fryer was colorful, had an interesting design, seemed to cook well, and best of all, it cleaned up after itself. Of course, when an opportunity came up to try it firsthand, I couldn’t pass it up.

As much as my teammates and I (rightfully) sing the praises of high-end brands like All-Clad and Le Creuset, you don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune for quality cookware. There are plenty of under-$100 options that you’ll use every single day and not have to replace anytime soon. For one, on our list of best saucepans, the top spot went to Tramontina’s $75 option. The Kitchn contributor Sharon was blown away by a $25 nonstick fry pan. You can check out our under-$100, editor-approved essentials list for even more examples.

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. It seems like just yesterday I was bemoaning the ubiquity of granite, hoping I’d never have to see its speckled self in a kitchen again. Now, after several years of declining use, the day has come: another surface has officially surpassed granite in terms of popularity. Any guesses as to what the new countertop du jour might be?
Dollar General Is Rolling Out a Major Store Change — And Shoppers Are Not Happy
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. Self-checkout can be your best friend when you need to make a super-quick shopping trip. However, in some Dollar General locations, it’s no longer as do-it-yourself as you’d expect. Joining retailers like Walmart, which recently removed all self-checkout kiosks, and Five Below, Dollar General is scaling back self-checkout initiatives. The company is removing self-checkout kiosks and introducing more employee assistance in order to combat its increasing shrink percentage, which is a measure of a business’s financial health that includes store theft.

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. Costco is the members-only warehouse that is stacked to the ceiling with groceries to use every day, household staples to stock up on just once a year, and impossibly cheap food-court finds. With summer quickly approaching, it’s time to stock up on snacks for the season. Even at Costco, where the register’s tally can quickly rise higher than the outside temperatures, it is possible to find budget-friendly snacks for sharing.

I Tried Katie Couric’s Favorite Lemon Chicken, and I’ve Already Made It for Dinner Two Weeks in a Row
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. Chicken is one of the proteins that I cooked a lot in my early 20s. There are so many delicious chicken recipes online, and because it’s cheap and easily accessible, I found myself cooking it a lot. Now I cook all different types of proteins and rarely find myself cooking chicken — unless I’m feeling ambitious and decide to roast a whole bird. But every now and then, I’ll come across a chicken recipe that will bring me back to my original protein of choice, and Katie Couric’s Lemon Chicken was one of them.

I haven’t been shy about being totally over open floor plans — give me dedicated rooms, please! When I was house hunting, one of my top requirements was separated rooms and specifically, a designated dining room. After years of eating at a small table in a living/dining multipurpose room, I was itching for a place where I could invite friends over for dinner without half of my guests having to balance plates in their laps on the sofa. I wanted to set a holiday table, dim a chandelier, and have room for candlesticks without sacrificing space for wine glasses.
Your Spice Jar Lids Have a Not-So-Secret Feature That Everyone Is Just Finding Out About — and It’s Totally Brilliant
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I have a spice rack in my kitchen that I am very, very proud of. All of the little jars are the same size and shape, with matching labels on the lids that make it easy to spot and grab whatever spice or seasoning I need. While this certainly is aesthetically pleasing, the real reason I set up this rack is because I truly hate the plastic bottles that your seasonings come in. They don’t make for a pleasant user experience, and when you go to shake them while you cook, nothing really comes out — or you end up with a huge mess. So I quit the battle and made my own setup. Yet now, after finding out this clever spice jar trick, I’m wondering if all my work to make the perfect spice rack has gone to waste.

If there’s one kind of item that I can always be convinced to splurge on, it’s tableware. A cute set of plates or cups won’t just impress the guests you invite over for dinner parties — it’ll make you happy every time you use it. Heck, every time you look at it. Instead of opting for plain white bowls or clear cups, you can find pieces that reflect your personality and work with your decor. Trust me, as small as it might seem, fun tableware will elevate your entire kitchen.
