I’ve been a restaurant critic for 15 years. I love making these 10 things in an air fryer when I eat at home.

• I’ve been a restaurant critic for 15 years, and I like using my air fryer when I eat at home. 
• I love to air-fry everything from Japanese katsu to Brazilian-style chicken thighs.
• The air fryer is great for crisping up frozen foods, from Malaysian roti to Korean corn dogs.

I’ve worked as a food writer, editor, and critic since 2008, so I’m usually too busy eating at restaurants to do much cooking at home. 

But when I’m not dining out, my combination air fryer and pressure cooker is the busiest appliance in my kitchen. It excels at reheating all kinds of restaurant leftovers, but also making food from scratch.

These are my favorite foods to cook (or reheat) in my air fryer.
