What Are The Best Pans To Cook Blondies In Air Fryer

Cooking your blondies in an air fryer is a great way to get them perfectly cooked without worrying about burning the edges or having an undercooked center. The best pans for cooking blondies in an air fryer are metal baking pans, silicone molds, and foil containers.

  • Metal baking pans come in various shapes and sizes, so you can choose one that fits perfectly into your air fryer. They heat evenly and are easily removed from the air fryer without sticking or breaking apart. Just make sure to grease the pan before adding in your blondie batter.
  • Silicone molds come in various shapes and sizes and are perfect for making individual blondies. They heat evenly in an air fryer, but you’ll want to ensure they’re securely placed in the basket before cooking. Once your blondies are done baking, they should easily pop out of the molds without sticking.
  • Disposable Foil Containers are ideal for large batches of blondies since they can hold the batter without leaking. The aluminum material heats evenly in the air fryer, so you don’t have to worry about hot spots or burning. Grease the container before adding your batter for easier removal later.

Using one of these pans and following a few simple steps, making perfect blondies in your air fryer is simple and hassle-free.

How To Store Blondies

Cooked blondies can last for up to five days when stored correctly. To ensure your blondies stay fresh and moist, follow the steps below:

  • Allow cooked blondies to cool completely before you store them. Ensure they are completely cooled, as any residual warmth left in the pan could cause condensation and make the blondies soggy.
  • Cover the blondies with a lid or plastic wrap and tightly seal them to prevent air exposure.
  • Store the blondies in the refrigerator for up to four days or on the countertop at room temperature for up to two days.
  • If you don’t plan on eating the blondies within five days, store them in an airtight container and place them in the freezer. They will last up to 3 months if stored this way.
  • When you are ready to enjoy your frozen blondies, allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few hours before serving. This ensures that their texture stays moist and delicious.

Following these steps, you can easily store cooked blondies and enjoy them for days!
