"Leftovers are lifesavers for those of us too busy to cook every night. In fact, a pro meal planning tip is to make more than you need when preparing a meal so it'll last you more than one night. That said, soggy leftovers are sad renditions of their former selves. But you can revive soggy leftovers by reheating them in an air fryer."
"The air fryer has become America's favorite appliance because it instills a crunchy exterior and tender interior of fried food without a vat of hot oil by circulating hot air around any food you put into it. Just as it crisps up ingredients you're making from scratch, the air fryer will do a quick and thorough job of instilling that same crisp to leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge and accumulating moisture."
Leftovers often become soggy from accumulated moisture, losing their original crisp texture. An air fryer restores a crunchy exterior and tender interior by circulating ultra-hot air that rapidly evaporates surface moisture. Many air fryers include a reheating setting to simplify temperature and time choices. Air fryers reheat faster than toaster ovens or stoves and avoid extra dishwashing since food goes into the basket directly. Microwaves heat quickly but do not crisp food or heat as evenly. Preheating the air fryer before adding leftovers helps reinstate crispness; many leftovers reheat well at about 350°F.
