You thought you\u2019d be making French fries, sure. You might have thought you\u2019d be making crunchy sides like steak fries. You might even have thought about crispy fish sticks. But sandwiches?<\/p>\n<p>Yep! The air fryer can toast bread evenly and quickly, giving even classic deli sandwiches a delectable crust without burning or melting the ingredients inside.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Change up this recipe by substituting drained kimchi for the sauerkraut, swapping out the Swiss for Gruy\u00e8re or Comt\u00e9, and\/or substituting thin, link-like brats for the hot dogs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot Dog Reuben<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Makes 2 Hot Dog Reubens<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>Four 1-1\/2-ounce hot dogs<\/p>\n<p>4 slices of rye bread<\/p>\n<p>Olive oil spray<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup Russian dressing<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 cup squeezed-dry purchased sauerkraut<\/p>\n<p>Four 1-ounce slices of Swiss Cheese<\/p>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Set the machine to air fry. Set the temperature to 400\u00b0F and the time to 20 minutes (which will be a little more than you need). Press start.<\/li>\n<li>When the machine beeps, indicates ADD FOOD, or is heated to the proper temperature, set the hot dogs in a single layer in the basket or on the tray. Because you\u2019re working with only two sandwiches, you\u2019ll only need one tray in toaster-oven style machines. Set it in the middle rack.<\/li>\n<li>Air-fry undisturbed until hot and sizzling, about 4 minutes. Use nonstick-safe kitchen tongs to transfer the hot dogs to a cutting board. Keep the machine going. Split the (hot!) hot dogs in half lengthwise.<\/li>\n<li>Generously coat one side of each slice of bread with olive oil spray. Set two slices oiled side down on a cutting board. Top each with an even coating of 2 tablespoons of dressing, four hot dog halves, half of the sauerkraut and two slices of cheese. Smear the remaining dressing over the not-oiled side of the remaining two slices of bread, then set them oiled side up on top of the sandwiches.<\/li>\n<li>Use a nonstick-safe spatula to transfer the sandwiches to the air fryer. Use separate trays or work in batches as necessary. Air-fry, turning once after 4 minutes but otherwise ignoring any TURN FOOD indicator, until golden brown and visibly crunchy at the edges, about 7 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the machine and use that same spatula to transfer the (hot and messy!) sandwiches to a fine-mesh wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes. Have plenty of napkins on hand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough are the authors of \u201cCold Canning\u201d and more than 35 other cookbooks, including \u201cThe Instant Pot Bible\u201d series.
