Pringles Are About To Do A Drastic Change
For the first time in over 15 years, Pringles is about to change things up and go without the can. The iconic brand is about to switch things up due to a new product line coming out this Fall.
Pringles Skips the Can in Brand New Snack for the First Time in Over 15 Years
According to the Pringles website, the new line of Pringles treats is also its first puffed snacks. There are three different variations, each offering a tasty combination of two great flavors. These include Cheddar and sour Cream, Sharp White Cheddar and ranch, and Dill Pickle and ranch.
Introducing Pringles Mingles
It’s a new puffy, airy snack that will give fans a new way to experience Pringles in a bag instead of the traditional can we are so used to.
The new light and tasty snack is worth getting excited about. Pringles fans will have to wait for the build-up until Pringles Mingles hits shelves in October of this year. There’s no word yet on if there will be more Pringles Mingles flavors in the future.
But Wait What About The Pringles Can?
Pringles explained what led to the surprising Pringles Mingles in a press release assuring fans of the can, “Our iconic Pringles can is part of our identity — and it’s not going anywhere — but we’re always looking for new ways to innovate and satisfy our fans’ latest cravings.”
Yes, I Myself Got My Hand Stuck In A Pringles Can As A Kid
I am, “Hand stuck in a Pringles can when Pringles only had one flavor old.” I remember my Mom bringing this tall can home from Farmer Jack and asking, “What are these?” When she told them they were chips in a can, I was amazed and almost ate the whole can in one sitting.

Foods You Should Probably Skip Air Frying
Large Bone-In Meat
We’re not talking about chicken wings here, we’re talking about large whole chickens. You’re better off sticking to an oven when it comes to cooking them. If you’re wondering why, chicken must be cooked to a specific temperature internally before being consumed. According to the USDA, all poultry should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, air frying this food item doesn’t guarantee an even cook. But hey, at least chicken wings are small enough to get an even crisp. Just make sure you line the air fryer basket first if it’s raw meat.

Wet Batters
An air fryer is not a deep fryer. So, if you’re looking to toss battered fries, meat cutlets, or battered veggies, think again. There’s a big chance the batter will drip down the base of the machine, causing a big mess and major cleanup after. Bad enough, some people didn’t know you even had to clean an air fryer regularly. No really, someone on Reddit shared that they didn’t wash their air fryer basket after each use. “I don’t think I’ve ever washed it lol. I’ve had it for 8 months and decided to finally wash it today,” they wrote. They continued to say how there was a bunch of “solidified juices” and “fat/ grease” from steak and chicken.

Cheesy Foods
It’s possible to make your favorite cheesy snacks in an air fryer. But it can get messy. AllRecipes cautions against air frying cheese. This isn’t because of health reasons but for cleanup purposes. They point out that cheese melts fast. The outlet suggests sticking to foods that effectively hold the cheese in place. Maybe, just stick to frozen cheeses like mozzarella sticks.

Leafy or Chard Greens
Sure you can go ahead and put those Brussels sprouts or broccoli in the air fryer. But skip putting spinach, collard, or chard leaves in. If you haven’t tried it already, light leaves might move and shift around during the cooking process. You may also come across a fairly dry vegetable if you don’t put a little oil with it. And, of course, you don’t want to forget the seasonings.

Popcorn
Some people have tried it but you probably shouldn’t. Most air fryer models won’t reach the required temperature to pop the kernels. According to Jolly Time Pop Corn, the best popping temperature is between 400 and 460 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, popcorn kernels can become lodged within the air fryer’s heating element, which can potentially cause it to short.

Pasta, Quinoa, Rice, Grains
Some grains like bread can be cooked in an air fryer. However, it can get a little tricky with lighter breads like toast and English muffins due to the air making them fly around. But anything like pasta, quinoa, and rice doesn’t do too well. Raw grains need to absorb water to cook. But there is some good news. If you have rice that’s already cooked, just add a little oil to reat in the air fryer.
