Meal Prep Tips: Using Dual Bowls Efficiently
A dual-bowl air fryer system transforms meal prep from a chore into an efficient process. Here is a practical Sunday prep routine:
4 chicken thighs (22 min) (6.3QT bowl)
Cook, then move to storage with lid
Salmon fillets x4 (10 min) (6.3QT bowl)
Cook, store with lid
Roasted vegetables (12 min) (4.4QT bowl)
Cook, store with lid
Sweet potato hash (15 min) (4.4QT bowl)
Cook, store with lid
Total time: ~60 minutes. Result: 4 days of proteins and sides, all stored in glass containers ready to reheat.
Why Material Matters for Healthy Cooking
You can follow the healthiest recipes in the world, but if your food is touching a cooking surface that leaches chemicals, you are undermining the effort. Most air fryer baskets use non-stick coatings containing PFAS -- chemicals linked to increased cancer risk, hormonal disruption, and immune system suppression.
Glass is the safest cooking surface available. It is completely inert, meaning it cannot react with food or release any substances at any temperature. This matters especially for acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus) and high-heat cooking, where chemical leaching from other materials accelerates.
