Air Fry Meals Without the Prep: The Perfect Pairing with Ready-Made Dishes

Discover how air fryers and chef-prepared meals deliver maximum flavour with zero effort.

There’s no denying it – the air fryer has become a staple in Aussie kitchens. Its ability to deliver crispy, golden finishes without deep frying has made it a go-to for busy people who still want great food. But if you're relying on it solely for reheating leftovers or crisping frozen snacks, you’re missing out on its true potential. When combined with chef-prepared ready-made meals, your air fryer becomes the ultimate tool for enjoying quick, delicious, and healthy dinners – with absolutely no prep.

We all know the struggle of coming home tired and not wanting to face the chopping board. Even air fryer recipes can take time to prep. But imagine skipping the ingredient prep altogether and still getting a meal that’s bursting with flavour and texture. That’s the beauty of pairing your air fryer with Yes Chef Meals. Each meal is prepared by chefs using locally sourced Australian ingredients, so all you need to do is pop it in the air fryer, wait a few minutes, and enjoy.

Meals like our Chicken Parmigiana, Roast Meatloaf, or Beef Ragu Lasagne are already fully cooked and ready to go – the air fryer simply gives them that final touch of crispy magic. Whether you're reheating a side of potatoes or bringing that cheese topping to life, your air fryer adds an extra layer of satisfaction without adding effort. You won’t need extra oil, seasoning, or sauces – it’s all done for you.

Better yet, it’s ideal for households of one or two where cooking can often lead to wasted ingredients and long clean up times. With chef-prepared meals, you're getting perfectly portioned meals that are nutritious, satisfying, and crafted to suit a range of lifestyles, from high-protein options to family favourites. All the flavour, none of the fuss.


You can now find Yes Chef Meals in selected Coles Local stores across Australia, making it easier than ever to pick up chef-prepared, air-fryer-ready meals while doing your regular grocery shop. Whether you're after a quick dinner solution, something hearty to get you through the week, or just want to try something new and delicious, you can now grab a few of your favourite Yes Chef dishes straight from the chilled section — no planning required.

This expansion into Coles Local means more convenience and accessibility for busy households who love great food but don’t always have time to cook from scratch. You’ll find many of our best-selling meals available in-store, perfect for tossing into your air fryer or oven for a no-fuss dinner that’s ready in minutes.
