Product Information

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the soaked breadcrumbs and onion, and then add the egg mixture. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Stir frequently until the spaghetti sauce is hot and the meatballs are cooked through and reach a safe temperature of 160 degrees F / 70 degrees C. At this point, cook them according to your favorite method, or freeze them for later use (see the Prep and Storage section below for details). If gluten is an issue, gluten free breadcrumbs make an excellent substitute but you can also use ground nuts or even shredded cheese as a binder. The Flavor

Most meatball makers are designed to work using the same mechanism, but it’s important to find a product that excels on all parameters. Let’s look at the factors you should consider before buying a meatball maker. MaterialMake them Spicy– Combine the meat mixture with ground hot Italian sausage. Add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Select ground meat with a fair amount of fat to make juicy meatballs. Using lean meat will lead to drier meatballs.

Herbs and Spices– Add your favorite fresh herbs like parsley, thyme or basil. Add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or additional Italian seasoning. You can even stir in fresh grated ginger and soy sauce for an Asian-flavored meatball. Versatile– Learn how to make meat balls for spaghetti, how to make Swedish meatballs, and how to make homemade meatballs to use in various recipes and appetizers. Adding a binder in cooking helps to improve texture and also holds everything together. In the case of meatballs, we use a milk and bread binder and an egg binder. Both are very important in helping the meatballs have incredible flavor and moisture as well as keeping their shape.

Cooking meatballs in the air fryer is fast and effective because the hot air circulates the meatballs, making them golden brown and crispy on the outside yet incredibly juicy on the inside.
