    Recipe FAQ'S

    Can you put foil in an air fryer?


    Yes, you can put aluminum foil in an air fryer. Tasteofhome.com explains that due to the air fryer's cooking process consisting of rushing hot air, your aluminum foil and the meal it's with will not be ruined by the air fryer.

    To help food crisp, always turn, rotate or shake the contents in the air-fryer basket. For foods being air fried in foil, gently shake the basket but do not flip the foil packet.

    • Aluminum Foil

    Food Storage Tips

    Leftover pork chops can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days tops. Pork spoils quickly, so freeze if not eating in the next day or so.

    Expert Tips

    • Chose the right meat for the recipe. This recipe works best with thick cut, bone-in pork chops. To avoid drying the meat out, cook to 140 degrees then rest the meat for five minutes. If the internal temperature rises to at least 145 degrees you are good. If, not put it back in the air fryer for another couple of minutes.

    Perfect Pairings

    Do you drink red or white wine with pork chops?


    Both red and white wine pair with pork, even sparkling wine goes well with pork. Whether you choose a red or white wine will depend on the cut of pork. Grilled pork chops will be better with red wine whereas pork tenderloin will be better with white.

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
