Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩‍🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀

[@cathtech15able]

Single dude here. Well, I finally got my air fryer today. COSORI Pro 2 5.8 Qt. Followed your instructions on the paprika chicken and nailed it. Juiciest bird I've ever tasted. I'm hooked. Thanks for being the air fryer 👸🏻

[@empoweredcooks]

Woo hoo! That's awesome! Welcome to the party!

[@cathtech15able]

I whipped up your bang bang chicken recipe yesterday and brought the leftovers to work today. My coworkers were so jealous at lunchtime. BTW... your taste testers are awesome!

[@user-we9vr2kj3r]

You've inspired someone who's culinary challenged with poor eating habits to invest in a good air fryer and follow your lead. You really got me with the Reuben Sandwich. That was the final straw. I appreciate the honesty from your tasters. Not everyone is going to like everything. Keep the instructions coming. I'm learning alot. Appreciate it.

[@astartevalentine8883]

Same, my brother had given me an air fryer as a house warming gift and all I've been using is just versatile microwavable stuff

[@empoweredcooks]

Love that!

[@lynnhughes]

I keep a jar of sauerkraut in the fridge. Dip out about a 1/4 cup in the morning and eat it cold. So good.

[@terrycarney2961]

Sauerkraut is delicious on it's own. Squeeze out the brine and put it in a frying pan on med-low heat - dry out the kraut and then when it starts to slightly brown, add a bit of butter and melt it. Wonderful on its own and SUPER Healthy!

[@bikeny]

Yeah, I had nothing for her with that request. But I like your idea. Thank you.

[@anitaholmes6824]

Great recipes, I love how you never coach the kids to say what you want them to say...I love how honest they are!!!! Thanks for an enjoyable video!!!

[@NickPotter]

Nice recipes. Just a note... Katsu is Japanese not Hawaiian

[@patpeters6331]

Sauerkraut with dumplings and Polish sausage. Though I have to admit that I have never made it in the air fryer. If you don't want to make your own dumplings you can use readymade from the freezer section or even Spaetzle.

[@johngelnaw1243]

Just as a side note on the Reuben... You can drain the sauerkraut and squeeze it out a bit without harming the flavor. Makes the sandwich a little less drippy.

[@empoweredcooks]

Nice tip - thank you!

[@lynneseta]

We like to cook sauerkraut and pork chops. Rinse and drain the sauerkraut. Cook pork chops until about 2/3 done. Layer sauerkraut over the top of the pork chops and sprinkle with a light dusting of carraway seeds and pepper. Easy and tasty.

[@barbaraspaulding1228]

Yummy. Love your taste testers !😊

[@sueytom2009]

You shared some very nice dishes with good sauce ideas that really added a nice touch to the meals.

[@barbbroad7130]

Cathy, Happy Birthday! Just got my New Cosori Pro 5.8 and found you on You Tube!! Thank you for all you do! I’m excited to start on my cooking journey 😊 hooked

[@eldonacronemeyer9638]

Hi Cathy I use it on hotdogs but I grew up eating sourkret on hotdogs and any sandwich

[@denisepasseri9482]

Katsu .. is Japanese for cutlet..It’s Japanese comfort food .most popular Pork Tonkatsu .. using pork cutlet which is panko breaded and fried..but it could be any meat.... and it’s usually served sauce.. or could just be over rice..Thank you much for these videos.. ..you have empowered me..

[@JT-hl7fh]

Try roasting chick peas single layer at 400 with olive oil and seasonings till crunchy! Great tasting for kids and adults

[@mariejeannie]

Sauerkraut and pork chops!

[@patpeters6331]

Make a chocolate sauerkraut cake. It's amazing and the sauerkraut tastes like coconut. 😋 Normally it's baked in a traditional oven but you could try baking it in the air fryer. That might be a fun video. 🥰

[@empoweredcooks]

What!!??!? This is crazy! I will have to check it out because I LOVE coconut!

[@Binxy-ne3te]

I used to have a 4L cheap starter airfryer for 2 years but I asked for a cosori for my birthday this year and it’s a game changer I love it. The food cooks better and more quickly and clean up is easier.

[@user-td3sc5qt5w]

I love your channel so glad I found it l just bought a new air fryer cosori bought your cookbook fantastic looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@ellencox6572]

So goods to see you! Always giving us the best Air Fryer recipes And tips! ❤🎉

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Ellen! I've missed you! Hope you're well!

[@patpeters6331]

😅 I loved your oops while making the chicken sauce/marinade. It happens to me all the time and like you, I roll with it. 🤗 Love that you keep it real. 😅

[@empoweredcooks]

😂 thank you!

[@rubber-duck]

We southern people like kraut and weeners, side of kraut with our pinto beans, on chili dogs 😊

[@rmrfamily]

I came here for the Reuben! Thanks for the tip on cooking it at 350F for most of the time to melt the cheese, flip the sandwich, THEN UP the temp to 400F to get that lovely crispness! As for using the sauerkraut, there's a German community near us and their German sauerkraut salad is fantastic. I make it several times a year, but mostly around the holidays. It's very quick and super easy to make and best to make it ahead of time (like overnight) so the kraut can marinate in the sugar/vinegar "brine". Serve it cold. Also a great summertime picnic salad.

[@empoweredcooks]

Super cool!

[@martinshaw4685]

Looks delicious and I love sauerkraut

[@cathyleposa-petraud8054]

Fabbbmazzzing.... Thank You ❤❤❤

[@empoweredcooks]

Most welcome 😊

[@TheCindyhoashi]

Leftover sauerkraut… fry up some ground beef put in casserole , top with sauerkraut then top with mashed potatoes put in oven to heat through.

[@empoweredcooks]

Oh wow! fun idea! I'm making beef stroganoff with ground beef. I might put some on top of mine!

[@unafloruncorazon]

Además de lo geniales que son tus recetas, ya he puesto en práctica algunas, te agradezco que puedo escucharlas en español. Son tan variadas las sugerencias que me asombra! Gracias!! ❤

[@mar4kl]

Olivia's look of anticipation at 15:00 is priceless! One of my daughters still gets that look when she's about to dig into something delectable, and she's a lot older. We don't eat bacon in our house, but I'm looking forward to trying out a variation on that tater tots casserole with a substitute.😋

[@elainenicholls7648]

I have missed your videos these past 2 weeks.. Hope your doing well...

[@barbelvalea5522]

Hallo ich finde du erklärst das so wunderbar vielen Dank liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 😍

[@JohnVermaak-lz6ty]

Love chicken and this methods let them taste just the way i love chicken, Thank you.

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

If you like bratwursts you can put the kraut on them saute some onion and warm kraut with onions and Yummy dont forget the mustard

[@beeschrievers7349]

Thank you for all the nice en good video's! I have a question, when do I use the airfryer and when the roast program? I thought the program button roast is specificaly for meat.

[@kloassie]

6:12 You can make a Dutch stamppot from the sauerkraut and some patatoes (+ bacon bits + bouillon). It's not my peronal favourite stamppot version, but it's okay and some people love it.

[@sandrabrands8354]

I love zuurkool stamppot 😋 met stukjes spek erin en speklapjes ernaast🤤😋

[@pabeader1941]

You could make perogies with the kraut. Also short ribs. Pork ribs are good in kraut!

[@Barb-el4mb]

You can also use creamy Italian dressing instead of mayo

[@Angi.Adkins]

Love our new Corsori Turbo Blaze. It’s quieter than our previous one and we like that. Oh, and it cleans ups so easily. Thank you for the advice.

[@empoweredcooks]

You're welcome!

[@patpeters6331]

That Reuben sandwich looked delicious. I haven't had a Reuben in years. Definitely going to have to add it to my meal rotation.

[@empoweredcooks]

It's so good Pat!

[@kathrynkrum6514]

Cathy thank you so much for your reviews. My Cosori dual blaze had a error come up that could not be repaired . The warranty is up but it is on sale and a new one has been ordered. I do enjoy the Instant Vortex also. Thanks again. PSLooking forward to more recipes.

[@richardbradley2802]

I always go with Papp-ree-kah!

[@gwentracy4751]

Sourkraut is great with sausages or hot dogs. It is also good to use in kraut burgers, in lue of cabbage.

[@vayes7958]

Yum yum....

[@Ren4U2]

We love to top hot dogs with sauerkraut! Yum!

[@vickyroberson2441]

Sauerkraut & polish sausage! A Kansas City hot dog with kraut on it

[@empoweredcooks]

:) Perfect!

[@michellefawcett586]

Sauerkraut and perogies or sauerkraut, apple, onion smoked sausage and mashed potatoes

[@helenwilliams8471]

Yum 😋

[@thomcat850]

With sauerkraut. if you drink alcohol I cook the kraut in a sweet white wine and cook that with kielbasa. Soo good!

[@mikenicholson7465]

Sauerkraut also goes great with bratwursts, hot dogs, burgers, meatloaf. Oh man, it just goes good with meat.

[@JKMCraveTV]

*You have the most awesome EYEBROWS!!!!* 😍

[@annallott3197]

I agree with your daughter about the chick peas. What else could I put in instead of chick peas as it looks yummy?

[@empoweredcooks]

Cubed Chicken?

[@ttt628]

How do I get the recipe for the chicken paprika

[@christinerocheleau7568]

Make cabbage rolls and cover them in the sauerkraut before cooking.

[@isabellabihy8631]

Left-over sauerkraut? Squeeze the brine, reserving about half a cup. If your sauerkraut is too sour, rinse it with cold water and squeeze the water out, spread it on kitchen towel, pat dry. Open can of pineapple chunks, drain, reserving the juice. Cut the chunks ino smaller pieces, if you like. In a bowl, mix the pineapple with the sauerkraut. Make a dressing with parts of the brine, the pineapple juice, a tbsp of canola or avocado oil, salt and pepper to your liking. Chill in the fridge for a few hours. Serve with pork sausages (bratwurst) from your air fryer or the grill. It is a refreshing salad in hot summers.

[@wendyprovateare9248]

Hot dogs, kielbasa, smoked sausage... all awesome with sauerkraut!

[@miehoen6212]

I buy that brand saurkraut to just snack on.

[@PK-hn2zf]

You can make pork and sauerkraut.

[@homethatilove4595]

Ruebens RUEBENs 🤤🤤🤤🤤 🤎🤎🤎 Thank you for these mouthwatering ideas ❣️

Enjoy!

[@sylviafrancis8410]

Chicken Katsu recipe. How long to cook after turning the chicken over? Temp, time? Thank you.

[@tracyschiemer4366]

Trying to think what i can replace the paprika with im alergic to paprika and garlic

[@juanitataylor6947]

Ok for product in town store

[@lindaclarke204]

REUBENS??? Gotta go instacart real quick...BRB! PS. Sauerkraut is great with pork chops and mashed potatoes, or in an Oktoberfest one pot meal- kielbasa, apples, potatoes and sauerkraut. Delish! Ok off I go to order reuben supplies!

[@homethatilove4595]

@7:25 thank you, God, for this food... 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[@sponso7145]

I encourage people to use their airfriers for more than frozen french fries and chicken nuggets. First reciepe: frozen french fries and marinated chicken. A bold step upwards :D

[@empoweredcooks]

😉😂

[@darrenhankner5282]

they had a major recall on your favorite brand air fryer a few days ago. largest recall on air fryers in history.

[@empoweredcooks]

I'm only aware of the one from last year kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYW2nYJohrB3jcksi=QZ8GENgyZPZpEBoR - not seeing anything in a quick google search either. What is your source?

[@janemartin229]

You should squeeze out the excess liquid in the sauerkraut before adding to your Reuben, so the sandwich won't drip so much. I love sauerkraut--it's good with smoked sausage or kielbasa. I can just eat it right out of the jar and my pet peeve is when people rinse it or add sugar to it. That means they really don't like the flavor of sauerkraut!

Sauerkraut on hot dogs/etc

[@lizpatino7836]

My ninja air fryer wont go 380 degrees. Mind does from 375 to 390. Which one should i put i would love to make the katsu chicken.

[@empoweredcooks]

I'd start at 375 and then bump it up to 390 at the end to get it nice and crispy. :)

[@AllinOnewithRafy]

Hope my channel grows like yours have! I Just started not too long ago. Keep up the great content!

[@RaechelSykes]

What culture is katsu? Japanese In Japanese language and culture, "katsu" (カツ) typically refers to a breaded and deep-fried cutlet of meat, such as chicken or pork, known as "tonkatsu" (豚カツ) or "chicken katsu" (チキンカツ). This dish is a popular comfort food in Japan and can be served on its own or as a topping for rice or noodles.

[@Dee10294]

Beautiful pictures of Jesus on your wall. ❤

[@cherylcooper2838]

I agree chic peas are awful and I am 76 so not a kid. Great recipies as always,

[@empoweredcooks]

😂

[@mardwella]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@michaelschweigart3517]

I have a 6-quart airfryer. Is that too big?

[@aesouris]

Because it's Steinfeld's sauerkraut, I'd just dump it. Far too much in the way of mass- produced, and any real good flavor is gone. Try something like Bubbie's, and the do as @terrycarney2961 suggests - heaven! Believe it or not, using sauerkraut in tuna salad adds a nice acidic flavor to it - just don't go overboard. Back off the pickles a bit or use sweet relish, and add some kraut and chopped celery for a base tuna for a tuna melt - mmmmm good!

[@pabeader1941]

Butter IS the healthier option. Liquid oils are rancid on the shelf.

[@SA-ke4zl]

Franks and sauerkraut.

[@DianeC.]

Hi Kathy!!! All the recipes do look yummy. Why dont you just tell us how many cups, tablespoons, etc...instead of weights of them. We have to look that all up.Most of us dont use scales.Anyways...Thanks for all these recipes...YUMS!!!...Great Video!!!...🦋

[@cvblair]

People from other countries use grams a lot more because they are on the metric system.

[@DianeC.]

​@@cvblairYes, but we aren't!!!...

[@cvblair]

@@DianeC. some of her subscribers probably are.

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Diane, for sticky/wet ingredients, I like to weigh them rather than fill a measuring cup... less waste and easier to do!

[@scottcampbell9027]

Insult to chicken katsu

[@bikeny]

I like that you keep your boo-boo's in the video. And your kids, well, couldn't ask for better taste testers. And she doesn't like chic peas. Ok, I wasn't a fan of regular peas as a kid and mom actually went out of her way to try different ones to see if I liked any of them. I don't recall the answer, but these days, regular peas aren't a must-have, but if they are on the plate I'll eat them. I have a roll of parchment paper, but your bucket option looks like a real winner. I know that the Reuben by definition has Swiss Cheese, but as I really do not like that (as in I never eat the stuff), do you think if I don't call it by its official name, I could get away with using Pepper Jack or even Cheddar Cheese? The other 3 also look great.

[@gail4101]

I use the air fryer parchment under practically everything I cook in the air fryer since I’m a lazy cook and don’t want to do extra dishes…just be sure to put the food in all the corners by spreading it out…You’ll definitely know when you didn’t because it can fly up into the element and burn…it happened to me once but luckily I was standing right there and pulled the basket out to remove the slightly scorched liner…

[@ginag6410]

Hi I really like your advise on cooking, however It is so on and on and back to back and none stop explaining, it's overwhelming maybe if you can give a second or 2 inbetween each sentence to ease the intensity, because I really appreciate your knowledge and the steps you teach us things of cooking, thank you for helping us cook better

[@gail4101]

Wow!!! Thanks for reminding me about doing a Reuben sandwich in the air fryer!!!… congrats on your pronunciation of Wooster sauce correctly…Brits always laugh at our efforts to pronounce it 🤣

[@suprememagnetic4850]

I agree.

[@niftykaffeine67]

Oh no, Kathy, You have been such an inspiration to so many of us. But, please, PLEASE don’t show people that you actually sliced chicken in your hand. That is not a skill, it’s irresponsible. I completely understand not wanting to dirty another surface with raw chicken, but you could easily have cut that on the marinade plate. I have watched nearly ALL of your videos, and hundreds of other cooks, but never have I seen anything that dangerous. Please rethink it..I don’t want you or any of your viewers to get injured 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@michelebostwick3242]

WHAT is "wooster" sauce? Is that just because you can't pronounce Worcestershire? LOL Cracks me up!

[@gail4101]

Per a Brit, that how they say it…Wooster sauce

Chicken Katsu is not Hawaiian, it's Japanese. All recipes are fantastic, I will be trying most of these.
