DINNER READY in 20 MINUTES with this AIR FRYER HACK + 4 Ground Beef Recipes

[@giogarcia4002]

Awesome. I’ve noticed that ever since I’ve started air frying food I no longer feel heartburn or other symptoms indigestion. Great recipes.

[@egrace67]

I LOVE your videos! For years I was a skeptic about air fryers and then I bought one- My most used kitchen tool- Use it daily😄

[@FastandFurry-ious]

I just got your recipe book and I love the simplicity of the book, and the spiral bound, love it. Just got a cosori airfryer too, because seeing your videos, I'm hooked. Thankyou for your videos!!!

[@anitaholmes6824]

I was totally blown away today to see you cook hamburger meat in the AF....would never have guessed that was possible. I wish I lived in the US so I could try the Butcher Box! Thanks for sharing!

[@jackdaniels4282]

Hi Anita, In every Country you find a different meat company. Just look it up. Bye.

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Anita! Glad to teach you something new! :)

[@wildrose912]

Thanks to you, I just bought my hubby an air fryer “for his birthday” to make himself quick meals when I’m working! We are loving it 😍

[@empoweredcooks]

That is awesome! I love it! :)

[@jackdaniels4282]

When you said "Hubby" , that sounds like "my baby" in Arabic. Take care and have a good year.

[@timetraveller3774]

@@empoweredcooks Thanks for the cooking times & temps Just another question Are you guessing the internal temperature of the food with the thermometer or is there a formula. Not sure what the temp should be when I check it You should write a book on the air fryer Thanks

[@empoweredcooks]

@@timetraveller3774 well... since you asked, I can help you with both! See yummyairfryerrecipes.com for my cookbook (and an optional buy in for a "how to" book). AND YES, there are FDA guidelines for the internal temp that meats should be cooked to. I have them all on a free download. You can request that (and you'll get an email from me every Sunday morning) here: bit.ly/air-fryer-tips

Watching your videos helps a lot. My little daughter wanted to buy an air fryer and oh well I was like ok. We bought it and I just love but didn’t know a lot about it. Thank you for your help, you just help me love it more.

[@empoweredcooks]

Glad I could help!

Hello Kathy. I am your target audience. My phillips air fryer xl, was sitting in wrapping for 5 months. Until my crappy microwave broke.

[@Dee-rg9yb]

I was JUST thinking how college students and well anyone who doesnt cook much/have access to s full kitchen could benefit from her videos!

[@empoweredcooks]

You can do it!

[@empoweredcooks]

@@gwendolyn4892 aw, thank you! Honestly, I never loved cooking either, until the air fryer! :)

[@sandygroff2228]

🙏🙏🙏 When you realize that ground beef& the air fryer is a dream come true. I have been too afraid to do it that way but...after watching you do it several times im confident😃 You always teach me so much& your delicious recipes have never failed me❤ Btw...i will leave you with my tip. We both hate melted stuck cheese so you will love this one. I learned a bit back in my instant pot af to not air fry it in the end. When your done cooking your hamburgers just add the cheese& close it shut for about a minute or so. It melts perfectly& never slides off. Hope this works for your af too😂😂😂

[@empoweredcooks]

Sandy! What an excellent tip! Thank you!! And I'm glad I could be helpful to you! :)

[@empoweredcooks]

[@joannsimpson9568]

I was questionable about ground beef but you answered the question. All them look good but hamburger and empanada I think will be my first try. Fix brats bacon chicken quarters pork chops and definately did the apple fritter big hits. And saves me a lot of body energy. Thanks

Thanks buying my 1st fryer next week after binge your videos

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

Wow, I love Empanada's, thanks for this! I have a super secret shortcut on the dough myself. I use the super extra flakey butter biscuits for dough. No matter how thin you roll them out, they will be flakey and yummie!! I use them for mini pizzas, empanada's, pot pie crust, and pigs in blankets!! Hopefully if all this COVID craziness subsides, you might think of doing a tour of some kind? I would love to see you in person!!!

[@empoweredcooks]

Great tip! Thanks friend! And I love your tour idea.... That would be so fun to meet my new friends in person! ❤️

[@teanachung1366]

Thank you so much for sharing these recipes I’m getting more excited about the air frier now and can’t wait to try a few. Please don’t ever feed grease of any kind to your dog - they’ll be very sick with pancreatitis. I used to make my dog’s food and learned the hard way that even small amounts of grease if given on a regular basis can cause it. My poor girl ended up at the vet on IV fluids and antibiotics for 3 days!

Oh poor pup! Thank you for the tip. She rarely gets our food. :)

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Wow, nice! I love air fryers, they are amazing. So much so, I have 3 of 'em lol. After using them for a few years, I do find the smaller ones cook better due to the smaller cooking baskets that seem to get better heat. However, that's just an observation and opinion. I was dreading having to brown some hamburger for dinner since I've never tried cooking it in an air fryer and found your video. Thank you for answering this question. If you haven't tried it, there are some amazing Jerk Chicken and Curry air fryer guides on KZbin. Also, using canned biscuits for beef / fruit pies or pocket pot pies that will blow your mind. Fast, cheap and easy. Thank you again!

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Lori, yep... you'd basically just do it like you normally would in a casserole dish, but do the cups instead. Like the oven, the air fryer is just basically melting the cheese and heating everything up together. Let me know how it turns out - sounds fun!

I am enjoying your air fryer recipes, but haven't been game to open the box of the new one, after past experiences with an air fryer. The recipes need so many additives, most of which we have in Australia, but I found in the past I end up with a dozen or more bottles of herbs and spices in my cupboard which were only used occasionally and had to be thrown away. Is there an alternative which contains spices/herbs etc for occasional users? Best wishes.

[@madelenealvarez]

The discos are in the Latin food section I the frozen food isle. Make sure you get the one which are separated by paper if not they stick together and will tear up.

I love your videos,. I just ordered the new Cosori L 501 model 5 Qt model ( due late September early October) and I was wondering if you have any feedback on the limited information on the web. It looks like it does not have a basket, just a square flat metal plate that fits at the bottom of the main canister.

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi there! No, I don't have any insights on that one... yet. From the way you describe it, it sounds similar to the instant vortex air fryer models, that have a tray that sits in the bottom of the basket. Let me know how you like it!
