This is the hottest appliance around and one of my most used kitchen items! It delivers the same deliciously crunchy taste of fried food with little to no oil. Plus, it heats up and cooks food super fast and is easy to clean. Looking for recipe ideas? Check out my Air Fryer Recipe Collection.

I have the XL 5.5-quart air fryer, which is perfect for a family of four. The 4-quart model is perfect for smaller households.

You can also use these reusable heat-resistant liners as an alternative to parchment liners. The perforated design allows optimal air flow for even cooking and browning. They're also dishwasher safe!
Oil Sprayer For Air Fryer:
A refillable oil sprayer or mister is perfect to use with your air fryer! It allows you to spray a small amount of oil and disperse it evenly over the food rather than pouring a large amount from a bottle of oil. Read my post on the best oils to use in your air fryer.

Great roundup of the best gifts for the holiday. I especially love the reusable straws. Thanks for this awesome gift guide!
Boniface Muriuki says
Quite a helpful guide. I would also consider a single-cup iced tea maker....especially if its winter!
Jackie says
Little bit late for me for this year, but I do love the idea of a meat thermometer a lot. It's strange to me that a lot of houses don't have one! It makes cooking things like chicken or steak a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
victoria says
Thanks for sharing these holiday gift guides with us.
The can opener and taco serving plates are perfect.
Farrah says
Love that you included reusable straws in here! I recently got my own set! :] I've been so curious about getting an air fryer but I have way too many kitchen contraptions right now. I'll probably have to wait til I get my own place!
