When it comes to making the best baked potato, which of the latter two appliances is better? Tasting Table asked Chef Kieron Hales, Managing Partner & Head Chef at Zingerman's Cornman Farms. "If you're short on time, both the air fryer and microwave can absolutely step in for the oven," Hales said. "It just depends on what you value more: texture or speed."
Your air fryer is conveniently equipped with its own basket for cooking items like chicken or vegetables, but if you want to use this handy appliance for full dishes like casseroles or lasagna, you'll need to use a separate dish. The good news is that you don't need to buy a specific air fryer accessory. Glass dishes, with a few exceptions, can be used to cook in the air fryer.

A bubbling dish of eggplant Parmesan ticks a lot of boxes for a satisfying meal. It's rich, hearty, comforting, and a vegetarian option that even dedicated meat lovers will enjoy. One thing it's not, however, is a quick and easy meal. A classic baked eggplant Parmesan requires upwards of an hour in the kitchen, but with an air fryer, you can cut this time down significantly.
You see, if you sprinkle dry seasonings directly onto your food, the hot circulating air for which the air fryer is known, can blow the seasonings off your food, or even burn them. But when mixed with oil, they stick better, creating a more consistent and delicious result. Oil also helps in heat distribution. When food is lightly coated in oil that you've infused with spices or herbs, the surface crisps up more evenly, reducing the chance of burning some parts while leaving others undercooked.
