I cooked frozen sausages with my microwave, air fryer, oven, and stove. I thought the air-fried sausages would be the best because that's my go-to method, but I was wrong. Even though it took the longest time, the stove made the juiciest sausages with the best skin. My go-to method to cook them is my air fryer, but I wanted to see if I was missing out on a better or easier way. Here's how they cooked in my oven, microwave, stove, and air fryer.

This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. But my favorite dish is a side of roasted potatoes. The key to perfect roasted potatoes is a crispy, browned exterior with a soft, creamy interior. I usually parboil my potatoes before baking them in the oven, but I wanted to see if there was an easier method out there. I made roasted potatoes in an air fryer, toaster oven, stovetop, and conventional oven to see which appliance had the best results with the least effort.

▼ + stars: | 2024-01-26 | by ( Priscilla Thomas | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: 1 min

I started by tossing all the fries with a little oil and seasoning. I went with thin, straight-cut frozen french fries. Priscilla ThomasI didn't want them to defrost, so I waited until the air fryer and toaster oven were almost done preheating before I prepared the fries. It took about 15 minutes for the air fryer to preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and the toaster oven to 425 F.I used the same thin, straight-cut frozen french fries for both appliances, and I started by seasoning them with my favorite flavors.

As a food blogger, I love to make various Costco appetizers, sides, and entrées in the air fryer. I've found a myriad of ways to prepare easy and delicious Costco appetizers, sides, and entrées in the air fryer. But with the air fryer, they can be ready in less than 10 minutes with no additional bowls, pots, or pans to clean. I like to use the Giovanni Rana 3 Cheese Ravioli to make a similar version in the air fryer. Heat the spring rolls in the air fryer at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes and flip halfway through.

☆ I made frozen pizza in a toaster oven and an air fryer, and only one appliance got the crust right

The first step is picking out the right kind of pizza. A standard, thin-crust frozen pizza works best for the smaller appliances. Priscilla ThomasAt first, I picked up some frozen pizzas with rising crusts. But no amount of time could bake the crust before the toppings burned in either appliance. I'd recommend avoiding any medium or thick-crust pizzas so you don't end up with uncooked doughOnce I tracked down the perfect thin-crust pie, I sliced the pizza while frozen with a sharp, strong knife.

I spatchcock the chicken to help it fit in my air fryer. Andy LynesSpatchcocking, or removing the backbone to flatten out the chicken, is key for my recipe. Some larger air fryers are big enough to fit the whole chicken straight out of the package, in which case you can skip this step. Turn the chicken over and snip off the wing tips and the knuckles on the legs. Finally, using the flat of your hand, press down on the central breast bone to flatten the chicken.

☆ Love your leftovers — the best way to reheat your favorite foods
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-23 | by ( Casey Barber | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Here are my strategies for reheating meals that taste just as good the second (or third) time around and eating every single portion of everything I cook. Turning to the microwave is often the first response when reheating leftovers, but it's not always the method that will give the most optimal results for most foods. These ovens can reheat food without waiting to preheat, and many offer convection, air frying or one-touch pizza options. What foods work best for microwave reheating? Foods that have a main liquid component, such as soups and stews, are a natural fit for microwave reheating.

I started off with a wildcard item, Trader Joe's artichoke timbales. The artichoke timbales weren't anything special to me. Lucien FormichellaFirst Impression: Trader Joe's artichoke timbales were one of the biggest wildcards. The artichoke timbales took 18 minutes to cook at about 370 degrees. Review: If I was eating Trader Joe's artichoke timbales at a gathering, I'd likely only have one or half because I think they're pretty big for an appetizer.
