Air fryers have earned their spot as kitchen MVPs -- they cook crispy, delicious meals fast, use less energy than an oven, and are a breeze to clean. It's no surprise they've become a staple in so many homes.

Season your burgers well with salt before transferring to your air fryer basket. At this point, either brush your burgers with beef tallow, spritz with cooking spray or add a pat of butter to the tops of each. You can also brush with melted butter, if you prefer.

The air fryer is great for wings and fries, but salty snacks are only a fraction of what these mighty countertop ovens do well.

Your air fryer is the best tool in your kitchen to quickly and easily blind bake a pie crust for your next dessert. Here's what you need to know before you try.
