Didn't I Just Feed You

Ten-minute dinners live in the space between no-cook meals and what recipe writers call “quick recipes,” which typically take about 35 minutes to pull together. Right now, winter fatigue, kids off for spring break, and summer planning have us relying on these lightning fast meals, but make no mistake, there’s always a reason to have 10-minute dinner ideas in your back pocket.

It’s been three years since we last talked about air fryers and a lot has changed. Stacie got an air fryer, for one, and Meghan has fallen off using hers regularly. These, and other shifts, in the ways that we use our air fryers has led to some realizations and thoughts on how to make the most of yours (or whether you should get one if you’re still a hold out!).

One of the questions we get asked most is whether busy home cooks need an air fryer? We're revisiting episode 96, where we talk with air fryer aficionado Jess Dang about whether the air fryer is for certain cooks only, or all of them, and how anyone can optimize their air fryer for easier meals all day long. Plus, we followed up with Jess three years later to see if her thoughts on her air fryer have changed.

A classic American dish, chili is not just one thing: there are as many variations as they are places where chili is eaten. Among its many virtues, chili is hearty, nutritious, packed with flavor, and can be made in a big batch, making it a perfect family meal — except when someone in your family is a chili hater. In that case, we’ve got help!
