About this Class

Air fryers are having a moment, and it’s not hard to see why: they promise delicious “fried” foods with a fraction of the fat (and effort). In this class we’ll explore what makes a good air fryer, some surprising kitchen tasks the air fryer can ace, and how to turn out satisfyingly crispy, golden snacks—think wings, fried, and egg rolls.
