Notes

Storing and Reheating Air Fryer Twinkies:
Storing:
  1. Cool Completely: Before storing, ensure your air-fried Twinkies have cooled down to room temperature. This will help prevent any condensation, which could make them soggy.
  2. Airtight Container: Place the Twinkies in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. This will prevent them from drying out.
  3. Refrigeration: While Twinkies have a long shelf life, once they've been air-fried, it's best to store them in the refrigerator if they're not consumed within a few hours. This will help retain their freshness for up to 3 days.
  4. Freezing: If you wish to store them for a longer period, you can freeze the air-fried Twinkies. Wrap each Twinkie individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to a month.
Reheating:
  1. Air Fryer: For the best results, reheat Twinkies in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the Twinkies inside, ensuring they're not touching, and heat for 2-3 minutes or until they are warmed through and regain their crispiness.
  2. Oven: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Twinkies on a baking sheet and heat for about 5-7 minutes or until they're hot and crispy.
  3. Microwave: While it's the quickest method, using a microwave might make them a bit soft. If you're in a hurry, unwrap the Twinkie and microwave it on a plate for 20-30 seconds. Do keep an eye on it to prevent over-cooking.
Remember, when reheating, it's crucial not to overdo it, as the filling can become extremely hot and might seep out. Always check the temperature before consuming.
