EVERYTHING I cooked in my AIR FRYER for a week! (17 different dishes)

[@annacrowley7426]

I am impressed with your video. I am saving it. I like so many recipes. Purchased the Dreo. Mainly for meat, particularly cooking a whole chicken and steaks . Have to clean my water distiller and then will get started. Would u kindly cook as big a size chicken as possible please. I can purchase a chicken, just under 2kg for £4.99. Thank you. Note, I will subscribe. 😁👏👏👏👌⚘

[@CandidClara]

Hi Anna, thanks for subscribing! Which air fryer do you have? I recently cooked a 2kg chicken in the dual blaze, but obviously different air fryers can fit different chickens!

[@annacrowley7426]

Hello 😁, Very kind of u to respond. It is the Dreo shefmaker. ( It was reduced.) 😊 @@CandidClara

[@CandidClara]

Gosh that is an interesting looking air fryer! I would imagine it might be a push to get a 2kg (or just under) chicken in that, but I shall look into more detail at the range now

Hi Clara, just found you and really enjoyed your week of air frying. Just got flexdrawer ninja and really enjoying exploring what works. Thanks for the recipes and info. I did pizza last night with a margarita base and plonked on cooked sausage, pepper, small chunks of mozzarella and onion. Pre warmed at 185 on air fryer. (The pizza fitted in cut in half) They took 6 mins and had slight crisp on bottom. Husband said best pizza I've ever cooked as I normally overcook them!! Will try poached eggs today as over cooked them when first tried them. Yet to use the roast button🤔. 🥰

[@PaulRansonArt]

Top tip for your next meal - latkes - a delicious grated potato/onion & four and egg. Season well and cook till golden brown. These are amazing with ham and eggs! Love the video Clara 😃😃😍😍😎😎

Good evening. I'm looking to buy an air fryer. I was looking at the Flex drawer Ninja, but after waking your video, I'm not that keen on the heat heat bleed. So I'm looking at Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF400UK and Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer with Smart Cook System AF451UK I'm trying to see what the difference is between the two. Any help would be nice. Many thanks, Matthew

[@CandidClara]

It’s literally just the heat probe that’s the difference between those two models. If you plan to cook a lot of cuts of meat in it go for the 451, but otherwise go for the 400. I see a lot of people saying that they don’t really use the probe. I hope that helps!

[@bat502]

Hi, is the twin drawer ok for a roast dinner or would you go for the single larger drawer? Thanks

[@CandidClara]

It depends on what you are roasting and in which dual drawer, but you might find this video helpful where I compare the Ninja AF300 with the AF400 and roast a chicken in each kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOYoHhmbr5qfK8

[@karenentwistle6635]

Your fantastic at cooking , where did you get the gadget gripper for getting tins out of air fryer ? , keep your vlogs coming in ,👍👏😘x

[@CandidClara]

Hi Karen, first of all you might be interested in this video about accessories where I show that lifter in action kzbin.info/www/bejne/haG2i6R8js1qoqM but also this is the Amazon link amzn.to/3zo4efC and I have a video about cooking in the Ninja combi oven coming out tomorrow. Thank you so much for your comment!

[@MaryBasterfield]

Thank you for great recipes enjoyed your videos looking forward to watching more

[@CandidClara]

You are so welcome!

[@gnostie]

Seeing you are in the UK, which oil squirter would you recommend? I am not keen on squiring oil in general, but if a good quality and low maintenance squirter one is available, I'll give it another go.

[@CandidClara]

My one is no longer made, so I recommend this one which a friend uses amzn.to/3yXC3UM

[@gnostie]

@@CandidClara Thank you. I saw that one on Amazon before trying KZbin for recommendations. An issue with that one is that a funnel is needed to fill it up, hence each time it's filled up, the funnel needs to be washed, and that's one more complication. But if there is nothing better, I'll end up getting that one, I suppose.

[@parvathynayer354]

Thank you. Just bought one.

[@CandidClara]

Hope you enjoy it! x

[@mariuszengland]

great great idea as always

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment! 😁

[@debbiecowles287]

I don't see the final bread and butter pudding recipe, the one where you used raisin bread and had tweaked the recipe. Did I miss it on here? Would love to try it. Also, I noticed that everyone seems to use metal pans or silicon containers. Or paper liners of course. Are glass dishes OK that are ovenproof?

[@CandidClara]

Yes anything that is oven-proof is good and that includes glass. As regards the recipe, I'm so sorry I can't recall exactly what I did now other than using Warburtons fruit loaf!

[@jackbeeby4144]

Hi Clara - some great ideas here thanks! Yet to make a final decision on my first ever AF and seriously considering the Cosori Dual (or Ninja Dual or Flex) that you have been using here. Quick question, how have the glass fronts of the Cosori baskets stood up to all that cooking? Are they marked at all from all that heat/cooking - which is my concern, or are they staying clear and unmarked? Obviously a good old soak and wash is essential after each use but how they faring up?

[@CandidClara]

Due to the drawer’s design it isn’t possible to clean the outside of the glass without taking the drawer apart (there are actually two layers to the window, the inside is a glass panel, the outside is plastic) however it is easy to keep the inside of the glass clean and so far the outside hasn’t been a problem, as I mentioned you aren’t really getting a particularly clear view of the contents anyway

[@christinepepper4517]

Hi Clara. Found your videos and really enjoy them…keep referring back to your recipes. Bought the Cosori (on your recommendation) and love it, use it every day. It’s transformed my cooking. What setting did you bake the chocolate & pear pudding please? I’m also a little confused on the choice of settings, when do you choose air fry, bake or roast? It’s a little confusing but i’m muddling through and experimenting and getting some great results. Would love to see some more of your recipes. Thanks Clara.

[@CandidClara]

I do the chocolate pear pudding in bake, it does take a bit of time to get used to the settings, air fry has the fastest fan speed and is good for things like crisping up baking potatoes or fries

[@siena9594]

Hi Clara, really enjoy your videos, nice work. We just got our first Ninja, an AF400, jacket potatoes are the first test... quick question after you microwaved yours what airfryer settings and for how long did you finish them on. Cheers

[@CandidClara]

I also have the AF400 (I know!! 😆) so I know it well, we use roast for baked potatoes, but arguably you could do longer in the microwave and use air fry for a quicker way to crisp up, it just suits me to not have to worry about them crisping up too quickly!

[@lindamccabe6451]

I notice you use olive oil but I did see info from ninja to avoid certain oils which included olive oil, vegetable oil was preferred. Presume that’s to do with smoking point.

[@CandidClara]

There is a lot of debate about this and not everyone agrees! I personally use good quality olive oil and it works fine for me

Very inspiring & helpful video. Thank you very much 👍

[@marymcgrory9954]

I have stumbled upon your channel and so pleased to find a British presenter with a style that doesn’t immediately irritate! I have 2 Ninja air fryers that I have been using for some time now but I need to buy a third one to use at our holiday caravan. I notice you are using a Cosori in this video - is that your preferred air fryer? More than the Ninjas you’ve used in other videos?

[@CandidClara]

I've been smiling about this comment for a couple of days, thank you! Never been quite so pleased to be described as "not irritating" 🤭

[@marymcgrory9954]

thanks for the comment

[@stevesmith7675]

I’ve tried the poached eggs but mine didn’t turn out like yours. I followed the recipe linked but to get them to cook had to do them for ten minutes by which time they were hard boiled! You said in the video you put them on the bake option. I don’t have that option on my older Cosori air fryer. Is that significant?

[@CandidClara]

No, the setting wouldn’t matter. Did you add a tablespoon of water? It can sometimes look like the egg isn’t cooked because of the water in the pot but they are. 10 minutes is way too long

[@stevesmith7675]

@@CandidClara Yes I added 3 tablespoons of hot as described in the recipe. They did seem a little waterlogged. So would one tbsp be enough?

[@CandidClara]

I would try less but I think crucially it’s about the fact they sometimes don’t look done because of the water when they are in fact cooked
