I Tried Making Classic Dishes Using Only an Air Fryer

[@mrbarrylewis]

I've typed up all the recipes here (ingredients there & video description) barrylewis.net/recipe/making-classic-dishes-using-only-an-air-fryer/ More air fryer videos on this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLfItiEY3o1mtXHbo1Uy1Kodj1llSV3YaL

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this series Barry! It has really helped on how i use My air fryer!

[@emerje0]

You're going to have Lionfield knocking on your door for what you did with those scissors!

[@brianm6337]

Say... Why didn't you bring the air fryer to the mre videos?

[@_SurferGeek_]

Little known fact: The fan in a basket / bucket style air fryer *pulls* the air *up* and it flows *down the sides* and under the food and back up. This is why you need to make sure you don't block the air holes... definitely along the sides. The browning on the top of the foods comes from radiant heat from the coils, not the airflow.

[@Taolan8472]

yep. you can bake the whole pie if you shape the pie to leave at least a half inch gap around the sides, put it on the rack so its not resting on the bottom of the bucket, and use some foil as a frame to hold the pie upright. he's honestly lucky that pie cooked through

[@janealford7393]

Being an older person found this inspiringly as recently bought the same one so good for anyone living on there own so thank you Barry ❤❤

[@martinputt6421]

Air fryer's are great aren't they. I tend to mainly use an air fryer for cooking myself these days, it's so much easier.

[@Nick_Jarrett]

good to see the air fryer is back, hoping the pressure cooker gets another go also

[@mrbarrylewis]

Good shout!

[@Veilamia]

These air fryer companies should sponsor you, you're making great content with them, loving the experiments.

"will it pizza oven" Barry and Stuart shoving in a giant quiche 😂

[@fraserkatie]

Haha thats a youtube videi I want to see!

Or - " Will it air fry! Stuart and Barry mucking about with an air fryer

[@judyross182]

A few days ago I was in WA state near Seattle, today I am in South Carolina, near Charleston. I never thought of using the bottom of my air fryer to cook sauces and I loved the cheesy cauliflower. I have a dual Ninja so I can cook different things at different times which is great. I just used parchment boats to bake hemp seed, oatmeal, and nut bars which I cut in squares to make "cookies." I've been cooking for over 65 years and when the dried spaghetti didn't fit in the pot, I took a little at a time and broke it in half. I'm sure you were "funning" with us when you used the scissors. You have some great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@debramck6231]

East coast Canadian here. I admire your enthusiasm for air fryer cooking, and this was a lot of fun to watch. But I can honestly say i will be cooking all of these dishes in the more traditional fashion!

[@xIDarkSideIx]

I wouldn't think of even making cauliflower cheese in the air fryer! *GENIUS* As you would say, that looked proper stonking. 🤤🤤

[@martinputt6421]

I love cauliflower cheese so that gives me inspiration to make it in the air fryer.

[@beth1814]

Edmonton, Canada here. Silent viewer here, but have been watching you for 5ish years, keep up the great work!

[@TaniaShipman]

I have gone big oven and cooker free for over 10 years now. I use my Convection oven/air fryer, microwave and pressure cooker for all my meal needs. I have made all those recipes (except the cookies) in my convection oven which is bigger than all the air fryers. You featured the round glass convection oven I use in a prior video. I save power and time, as all of the equipment has timers. I haven't burn or overcooked a meal in years. I'm from Australia and love watching you enjoy what you make in your air fryer.

[@TheBPDFairy]

Barry, as you asked, I'm from Montevideo, Uruguay! 🇺🇾 The country where the Fray Bentos pies were invented (sorry about that! Lol). My British partner introduced me to your videos and now we watch them together and we love to recreate some of your recipes ❤

[@patriciasmith9712]

I just had an air fryer gifted to me, so all of your fun banter and tips are terrific for me. Ottawa, Canada

[@tovemagnussen4423]

I am a very new user of an airfryer. NEVER thought of to make sauces in one.... Awsome! 😊

[@michelleagius7352]

Watching from British Columbia, Canada. Thank you for all your hard work! My 5 year old and I love watching.

[@MichaelStaghorn]

I'm sorry, it might be that English isn't my first language, but I fail to understand that combination of words; "too much pizza". Sound like a bunch of gibberish to me... 😜

[@greatboniwanker]

I'm thinking 'why are you mixing the cookie dough in the air fryer bucket'? I looked away for a ½ a tic and when I look back the cookie dough is in a bowl 😂

[@chrissirois]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing and then he made the tartar sauce in the air fryer basket as well and then it went into a bowl. Not sure why any of that had to happen. 😂

[@lepidoptery]

​@@chrissirois and the pie filling....

[@chrissirois]

@@lepidoptery yup.

[@jvallas]

So we can take away from this: use the air fryer for *_cooking_* ?

[@aliyaheubanks4477]

Of course it had to happen ​@@chrissirois

[@FITKitchenByPyo]

😱I can hear the Italian screaming when you cut the spaghetti in half😅

[@lgreen4479]

You can actually buy spaghetti noodles in half lengths. Who knew? Works better in instant pot.

[@BriBCG]

I always do this, I know it makes people mad but it means I can get away with using a smaller pot and I don't have to fuss with it at all to get it all submerged. I don't find the eating experience significantly different. If anything it's slightly more convenient since the noodles are shorter and it's easier to get a forkful of them.

[@yetinother]

Who knew that if you bend spaghetti downward in the bowl it splits into two pieces lol

[@Taolan8472]

the italians wpuld be more upset at him for using that cheap yellow pasta and calling a generic meat sauce a "bolognese"

[@fringedwellermccatintyre730]

It was so handy, you putting those recipes in the show notes, THANK YOU!

[@emilysmith2784]

Something I love doing is slices of bread with dollops of garlic butter in the air fryer. Garlic bread in 5 minutes.

[@raelewis9957]

You are brilliant Barry. I hope this catches on!

[@listenheed]

Thanks for doing more of these, Barry! I'm still living that dorm life so this helps a lot. :) I find that with some baked goods, you do need to flip them over, like those cookies. I did cinnamon rolls in ramekins and halfway through, I had to remove them from the ramekins and flip them so the bottom half wasn't doughy.

[@sethmcninch5306]

Hello from Mississippi! Your videos have really brightened my days whilst I heal from surgery. Thank you so much for what you do, Barry!

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

ive been making apple crumble, plum crumble, apricot crumble and rhhubarb crumble in mine... easy to make but i have to cook the fruit first then add the crumble on top and cook.

[@fae_275]

Hi 👋🏻 from Brunei, love watching your vids. Hope you get to a million subs soon. Cheers!

[@Peahjay]

Hi, from New York State!! I love whenever the girls pop in!! Keep going and remain cheerful!!

[@chrissuthers9654]

I liked the idea of the cookie dough. Make ahead of time and shape into balls and freeze. Then take out a couple of the frozen balls and you can have fresh baked cookies when ever you.

[@glitchruk]

I love your content Barry, it has inspired me to get into the kitchen and start trying new things!

[@jules3048]

This is such a GREAT idea!!! I’ve often thought what can u really do in an air fryer. There r the basic ones ppl do, but it’s cool to see you CAN actually use it as a regular oven and make many different things in it. I’d LOVE to see u so more recipes in one!!!!

[@chrismurphy3184]

Aussie here, the cauliflower cheese will be getting a run in the ninja. Love your work!

[@wombat.6652]

Thank you. Those foil handles are genius.

[@sjean2166]

I make fruit hand pies in my air fryer. The hardest part is not overfilling the pastry dough. For anyone who wants to try it , I use premade puff pastry sheets and canned pie filling. Cook 5 minutes and flip, then another 3-5 minutes.

[@QUIX4U2]

Hello from near Seattle, WA USA Thanks for making such entertaining and educational and fun videos

[@alucinors]

London, Ontario, Canada here! Been watching for so many years. I can't wait to make the cauliflower recipe! I love making almost everything in my air fryer!

[@ChilleUK]

I recently baked a double layer devil chocolate cake in the air fryer by baking each base separately came out pretty nice!

[@Janokins]

I didn't realise the sauce was so simple, I should make my own :)

[@silkedavid8876]

Fantastic. I actually know someone whose hob just broke down and they have to wait a week for the repair person to come ( warranty!). I never thought one can do these dishes in an airfryer!!

[@annalevermore7857]

I've made mince in my airfryer. I have also cooked a sweet potato then squeezed out of it's shell to make mash to freeze. Yum!

[@littleurk]

Thanks for all your experiments in the air fryer. Luv your videos. I am watching from London, Ontario, Canada. 🇨🇦

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Just used mine to crisp up cookies! Perfect timing Barry!

[@GavinColbourne]

12:20 the issue with your filet-o-fish is that your bun is not steamed and McD's steam their buns for the filet-o-fish. You could find a way of steaming a bun in the air fryer

[@tombstone5703]

Also why filet take longer when ordered is that they are made to order. Can't have cooked fish hanging around

[@IceWolf1102]

@@tombstone5703 2-5m to make one over here

[@Stherko20]

Watching from North Carolina in the US. Another great video Barry :)

[@Dandelion_Stitches]

These all look fantastic, but in particular that first with the cauliflower and cheese made me so hungry, I need to go try to make some for myself right now. Such a great vid!

Hello from Texas! I just love your videos! Always have to come see what you are up to!

[@rydamusprime]

Watching from the West Coast of Canada (which you need to visit one day, there are some great restaurants over here) and Iove the air fryer videos. The one thing I tried recently was making frozen gyoza in the air fryer, which usually just crisps them up. However, I wanted them with more like they come out when you steam and pan fry them so parts are soft and others are crispy. I just preheated it with some water under the basket and put the gyoza in after tossing it in some sesame oil. About 10 minutes later they came out pretty darn good. On the topic of gyoza I also one scratch made pizza gyoza (filling of cheese, pepperoni, bacon, garlic, and a bit of tomato paste to bind it all) and I cooked those in the air fryer as well.

[@jessicaroberts761]

wow I am so impressed with what you made

Great to see more Air Fryer videos mate!

[@catface86]

I’m sure I’m not the first to say… you and Stuart need to do a “Will it air-fryer?” episode! Maybe a Christmas edition

[@Chevyman3030]

Air fryer brownies would be nice to see as well as a grilled cheese or some kind of hot (or warm) sandwich that's not too messy tho Possibly try making hot fudge with alan as well

[@alexdavis5766]

I love my air fryer but it’s made me so lazy I find myself wishing it did all the prep and cleaning and sort just present a finished meal for me 😂

[@mrbarrylewis]

🤣 it's all good though!

[@spaz61]

My laziness is not having to wash the bucket over and over. Bowls and trays have a purpose

[@SingerBabyJay]

😄👍 Great recipes! Thanks for your hard work! I hope your new filming studio is going well too ❤ Very excited to see it 😁 I hope your family is doing well ❤ Hi to Boston too 🤗

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

Ever since i bought my new Ninja dual draw air fryer/mini oven,my main oven became obsolete ! it's just dead and alone ! i can even do Yorkshire puddings in it,no opening the door and burning my face off ! and toast,perfectly cooked toast every time 😋

[@lukasjoline]

I'm German living in Ireland 👋 Was dead set against getting an air fryer until I came across your air fryer videos. Think we might need to get one now 😂

[@NangTalksBoxing]

Good timing 😂 I got one a few days back. Absolutely amazing

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah I get a fair few folks asking for videos with them that i've slowly started to like it myself too!

Always great to see Boston!

[@clouds_demise]

Watching from Berlin, Germany :) keep going these lovely videos you lovely man :D

[@djdocile]

Hi Barry, long time subscriber first time commenter. I have had that very air fryer for ages and have just upgraded to the ninja dual air fryer. In my humble opinion I prefer the cheap tower one. it was a great little air fryer and probably the best £40 I ever spent.

[@haroonmohammed742]

I saw Barry cutting the spaghetti and kept expecting 2 Italian KZbinrs to come knocking on his door and force feed him Jellied Eels.

[@richbuilds_com]

Don't think I've turned the big oven on once in 5-6 years since getting an air fryer. Big oven is used mainly as pan storage now! :D

[@CricketEngland]

I have a ninja foodie and only use the oven for large pizzas these days

[@karagordo1991]

I might do some of these recipes as my air fryer is a combo. It is not only an air fryer but also a steamer as well

[@featjie]

another budget airfryer video i see on my feed, i watch

[@samhenwood5746]

Loved the ideas but I think I will stick to cooking , chips , burgers etc 👍Thanks for sharing Barry 😝👍🇬🇧

[@RAM512]

Fantastic video as always Barry. Long time subscriber coming to you from America. Now then...... All of us want to know..... Did Boston get a few pepperoni!!!???!?? The answer better be yes!!!!

[@markchapman6800]

Barry didn't really need to boil the cauliflower. Roasting it until it is soft and a bit charred gives a tastier result. I don't have an air fryer but made cauliflower and potato mash in the oven recently and it was lovely. Canberra, Australia. 🇦🇺

[@AndreasKjerulf]

Huge fan of your videos. Been watching many many years from Denmark. All the way back from myvirginkitchen days

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Barry how about Lasagne now that would be good. I am also wondering if I could make a lamb biriyani in mine as it is my signature dish and I have made it in a rice cooker and an instant pot very succesfully.

[@Dangerella]

I’m watching from Philly. I have yet to get an air fryer. Really due to a small kitchen. I definitely have plenty education on them for sure, thanks to you @mrbarrylewis ! ☺️

[@JakeMcaulay]

i got that exact air fryer on sale at tesco foe 20 quid... best 20 quid i've ever spent makes the best roasts. and it's become my official cheese melter for toasties

[@Artsificial]

For top notch fish burger, you will absolutely want to steam the bun. steam the bun. STEAM the bun!

[@DuchessOfQuilt]

You can steam in the air fryer. Just put a bit of water below the separator grid and your food on top of the grid but no touching the water. If doing a bun, I’d preheat it to get the water boiling before putt in the bun in. It also works for steaming veggies.

[@greatboniwanker]

Mayo, chopped gherkins (or strained dill relish), a decent plop of yellow mustard and a dash of paprika. Your welcome.

[@tracimckinven2520]

Always love your videos Barry and love the air fryer ones. Just one question - why do you call the drawer a bucket 🪣? X

[@scottneil1187]

Because it's a bucket!.

[@gailhawkins3134]

You need some dried herbs in the tomato sauce Barry and teaspoon sugar to lift the taste. Good ideas tho😊

[@dalemoar3006]

I also love my air fryer, but it has 2 smaller drawers instead of one large one. I could still make most of these though. I'm from New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦

I have a sneaky feeling that Mrs B got a bit lucky when he she got home… bit of a cheeky vibe today Barry 😉🤣❤️

[@kimmeeCheah]

In US you can get spaghetti pasta that is pot sized which is half the length of regular spaghetti pasta. No need to break the spaghetti.

[@MaggieHorn-A2Ralph]

I'd say if you're baking a batch of cookies, use your oven. But if you scoop them out on a tray and freeze them, and put them in a freezer bag once they are frozen, you can bake just a couple at a time in your airfryer. Then you can have fresh baked cookies any time you get a hankering.
