Did you get a new air fryer or Instant Pot this holiday season? Lucky you! You’re among the 21 percent of Americans who were “extremely likely” to be gifted a new kitchen toy for the holidays.

If you’re a foodie at heart or are just now exploring interesting tools like food processors and sous-vide machines, here’s a quick list of healthy and fast recipes to help you get started using your new cooking gadget. So, tie on that apron, take your gift out of the box and let’s get cooking!

Recipes for Your Air Fryer

The air fryer craze is taking over America for good reason. Today’s air fryers are like countertop convection ovens on steroids. Because it’s small, it can cook foods faster and makes food as crisp as deep fryers do — but without all the unhealthy oils. Here are two easy, healthy recipes you can make in your new air fryer.

Recipe for Your Sous-vide Machine

What in the world is sous-vide anyway? Sous-vide (pronounced sue-veed) is a cooking technique that utilizes precise temperature control to deliver consistent results using water and vacuum-sealed bags. You can find sous-vide machines that seal food in an airtight container (like a vacuum bag) and cook that food in temperature-controlled water.
