Pro Tips For Cooking Air Fry Trader Joe’s Meatballs

  • Every air fryer is different. Some models cook food faster than others, so may need some adjusting when using any one specific model! A little trial and error will help you learn your particular air fryer.
  • Small batches are key. Overcrowding the basket will lead to unevenly cooked meatballs. So, work in small batches. After you air fry frozen meatballs, keep them warm in the slow cooker on the warm setting until ready to serve.
  • Skip the cooking spray. You do not need to use any cooking spray for these meatballs. They will cook up perfectly with nothing!
  • Don’t thaw the meatballs. For best results, do not thaw the meatballs before air frying them. Frozen foods tend to cook better when frozen. No thawing is needed.
  • No need to preheat. You do not need to preheat your air fryer. Just add the frozen meatballs in the air fryer.

Notes

How To Cook Frozen Meatballs On The Stove

? First, place a skillet or pan on medium heat and coat it with your preferred cooking oil. Next, carefully transfer the frozen meatballs onto the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping every 2-3 minutes to ensure they are evenly cooked. Lastly, use a meat thermometer to check if they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving them hot with your favorite sauce or side dish. And voila – perfectly cooked frozen meatballs right on your stovetop! Just make sure to always follow package instructions and use caution when handling hot oil and food.

How To Cook Frozen Meatballs In Instant Pot

First, add 1 cup of water to the pot and place the frozen meatballs inside, making sure not to stack them on top of each other. Close and seal the lid, then set it to manual pressure for 4 minutes. Quick release any remaining pressure before opening the lid and serving with your favorite sauce or vegetables. Thanks to the Instant Pot, you can have a tasty and quick meal ready in no time. Plus, the meatballs will be evenly cooked throughout without any thawing or defrosting required- it’s a win-win situation. Just remember to always follow food safety guidelines when cooking meat products.
