A Week On Air Frying DAY 3

[@IronBahamut]

Day 3 on "people scream at a pre-recorded Mike about liners"

[@georgechambers4617]

Yep!

[@soundscape26]

He should film and post those in realtime... it would be much more interesting to follow. If he cared to read the comments that is.

[@IronBahamut]

@@soundscape26 That would take a ridiculous amount of extra effort so I don't blame him for not doing these and editing them as he goes. The lack of research beforehand is usually the problem, like the WW2 ration week.

[@soundscape26]

@@IronBahamut I'm saying this because the editing in his videos is quite rudimentary... he just has to stitch together 6 or 7 chunks of video. No transitions, no audio effects, no overlays, no nothing. I suspect part of his clumsiness is a bit for the camera and to create a certain character. I can't believe someone who produces week on's for almost 10 years still acts like a complete fool on so many easy cooking tasks.

[@kiraworthington]

as someone who does not own in your fire can one explain in depth about the liners and is it just me or is he using more than one cuz that would seem a bit silly in my opinion but really what's with the liners I don't own an air fryer and I'd like to know in case I ever buy one

[@markc1793]

Mike, the liners, either paper or silicone, will only let the airfryer work properly if you put them in the drawer, then put in the metal plate, then put your food in so that the food is on the metal tray. The metal tray is removable for cleaning and can go in the dishwasher, so not a problem it gets dirty, but by having the food on the metal, which has holes in it, it will allow the air to circulate around the food and cook properly, they way you're doing it pretty much completely negates the "air" part of air frying and you're blocking the air from getting to the food from underneath, which means you'll never get things properly cooked all over and will never be as quick as it should be which takes away from the energy savings.

[@susangerwien1290]

I spray the drawers with cooking spray so they get clean.

[@nf5416]

no need telling him video is 3 weeks old

[@markc1793]

@@nf5416 yes, because it's not as if Mike is an actual real person, who still exists outside his videos, and will still be trying to use an air fryer in his day-to-day life. No, I'm sure once he finished filming this "week on....." he just chucked the air fryer in the bin and will never use one ever again.

[@villarule06]

People spend days complaining about tray liners and then Mike rocks up with reusable tray liners lmao

[@MikeStavola]

remember that an air fryer is just a repackaged convection oven. A convection oven uses rising hot air to envelop the food bake it more efficiently. I don't know how popular they are in the rest of the world, but they've been around in the US since at least the 1980s, and many frozen foods have convection oven directions on them. Funny enough, some convection ovens are just rebadged as having "air fryers" in them, and just add a tray that fits in a rack slot and change "convection" on the controls with "air fry."

[@Kara99tg]

Mike finally stops using paper liners, starts using silicone liners instead. I'm going to become the Joker.

[@jamiegreenham4140]

[@lufferov]

On today's episode of "Mike's a moron"... he used to use paper liners to avoid washing up and the internet went crazy. Now to "save the environment" he switched to silicone liners.... Which he has to wash up, totally negating the advantage of using paper liners in the first place and retaining the disadvantage of using liners in an air fryer. Mike is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

[@M0ike]

Mike not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but you shouldn’t use the liners.

Get rid of the liners as your air fryer is nonstick,fry eggs in the air fryer with a small amount of oil or water. Silicone rubber tray liner's are better

Trying to come up with a one liner for these liner fails but that might just be crossing the line(r)....

[@davidsworld5837]

paper flavoured eggs so good took longer than just doing it in a pan with 1000w for less time it does not take me 5 minutes to do both the eggs and bacon. for your dinner does it not take in the microwave not take 9 minutes, I would have said take the plastic off the top as more likely to melt the plastic I know we are trying to use the Airfryer but financially in time and power use some of the foods do better in the microwave or just in a pan etc cheaper and faster. for the main meal you could have mixed it all then split it in to the two sides with equal mix in each. the thinner the chicken the faster it cooks so will burn in the same way as the veg closest to the heat will burn as it is not being stirred. would still say better to just frying pan it, then it would not burn and look black.

[@catherineturner2839]

Initially I think it's a case of trial and error. Once you get used to it and know what works and timings then the benefits will become apparent

Having made extensive use of an air fryer, my recomendation is overwhelmingly to get the largest single volume you can. So much of what I do in it barely fits as is, and we see in the vids the cramping.

It's not really fried eggs is it?

[@Veiwer77]

This is about the only time using a liner is ok. The silicone ones kinda work for the veggies here. But yeah STOP USING THE LINERS OMG! Also treat the air fryer like you would a toaster oven. It's just a super convection oven.

[@PhoenixHealing]

For the eggs you might have wanted to line the tray with tin foil and then spray it down to keep them from sticking. Edit: Hopefully those silicon ones don't cause that burning smell. I've used silicon liners for cookies and cakes, actually you have too, in the Donut (Clearly a Cake) Infomercialism, and they smell terrible!

[@LucasCarter2]

The entire point of an air fryer is that you don’t use a liner so that the air can heat the food. You’re taking the air out of air fryer by using liner on it my friend.

[@zalibecquerel3463]

In my opinion, you're not using enough liners. You should be using at least three or four at a time.

[@BrickTop-]

Mike should go watch butlersempire channel then come back and do the week on when he's learnt how to use an air fryer correctly

Try spraying the food with a little oil NOT frylight before cooking and remember to shake or turn the food during the cooking process . I'm fed up of shouting at the TV

[@justme002]

Oh lord, he's doubled down on the liners and got liners that cover up even more of the airflow. They're also liners he'll have to wash which is what he was using the liners to avoid in the first place. How is this real? Is there just zero critical thinking? "Hmmm... stuff isn't turning out how it should. I wonder what I'm doing different that other people don't do. Eh, must be the air fryer."

[@squattingnevil]

Linergate continues.

[@rosemarygriffin2184]

I can see that Mike does not read the comments. Stop using liners, any kind of liners. You should have lightly spray oiled your onions etc. As for the eggs, make small foil dishes, and spray them lightly with oil before putting the eggs in, yes eggs will stick to the paper liners. Don't waste your money on liners, just to Dave time on washing up, as it costs you more electric money to cook using liner's, it prolongs the cooking time, and the air isn't being circulated for energy efficiency.

[@levanasleet688]

Hes got no idea.liners no no no.

[@deeacrt2808]

Does an airfrier actually save you a ton of money?

[@sbrader97]

It cooks the food faster because its a lot smaller area to heat up compared to a big oven so some foods cook a lot faster and so it can save electric due to running it for less time than an oven if you have a smart meter then you can check the difference in how much it costs to run oven vs air fryer

[@jkd91]

I wouldnt even say research is needed, its more common sense, the bottom of the baskets have a tray with holes in and the device is called an 'airfryer' the whole point is to have hot air circulate and cook the food from the top and bottom which mike doesnt seem to understand.
