i love how honest this video is. not pretending everything is amazing.

[@larryreid8562]

I am so pleased that I finally bought an air fryer - and especially pleased that I paid attention to the positive reviews of other users, and decided on this one kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . It is just perfect for the two of us, and takes up very little space on my small countertop. I roasted salmon filets for dinner tonight and they were the best ever - slightly crispy on the outside but moist inside. Best of all, no smelly kitchen or difficult clean-up. My only complaint would be the lack of even a few printed recipes to get started. My generation does not find it easy to access the QR code and use the smart phone app. I bought a recipe book instead, which gave me the confidence to experiment.

[@KanasKleanouts]

Dude, you and your brother got me into chefin up in the kitchen when I was like 17-18 and it honestly changed the way I see food.

[@stephaniewzx]

I recently learned to put the whole egg without cracking it into the airfryer to make hard boiled egg and also soft boiled egg, they are always perfect. For soft boiled egg, I set 300F 9 min, hard boiled egg, 300F 11 min

[@F-J.]

Or boil for 3 mins on the stove 🤣

[@pumpkinspiced]

@@F-J. I prefer the air fryer. I typically make several things at once on the air fryer so less cleanup than using several pots and pans. :)

@@paulamachado5571 I think the question was "how would you possibly have any fries that you didn't eat?"

After fish and chip day it's often 'Chippie-Tata' day for us. Make a fritatta or a Spanish omelette with the leftover chips. Yum. But yeah, I was an early adopter of the air-fryer will never be without again. Leftover chips, reheated chicken from the CFK place (ha!) it's always nearly always better the next day.

That feeling, watching this at the end of 2021 and wondering if I missed out on trying to up my cooking game simply cause I work in an essential service and never actually quarantined because pharmacy can't shut down.... wondering if I can find time to binge watch all these videos and try to up my game on weekends 🤔

Whenever they start talking about how it was "in quarantine" I have to just kind of stand there and bite my tongue while nodding politely.

Here’s a cheese sauce hack I figured out while backpacking and had leftover cheese on the last night. Use instant mash potatoes to make a very runny mash potato then mix your cheese in. It gives the cheese a nice binder, and you can’t taste the potatoes. Backcountry Fondue! (Or dorm room?)

So if you use the ring mold idea for the quiche (albeit slightly larger) so there is room for the air to have that convection oven goodness, your quiche should bake on the bottom. Good luck!

[@henacea]

I basically bought an Air Fryer cuz of your videos, and i really love it. And this videos are another dimension, definitely need more of those.

[@yourmomsfavoritepodcast4460]

13:04 when cooking or baking with a crust/pastry/bread you should cook at least 350 (can get away with 330) there is a chemical reaction that happens at this temperature that causes the food to cook and break down its ingredients that’s why your crust wasn’t cooked all the way and was too light on the bottom. And this goes for all cooking methods not just an air fryer.

[@ChrisTackettMusic]

Par bake the crust to a more fully done level and it might turn out better. Maybe that's just a quirk of the air fryer with the relatively small food chamber compared to a regular oven, there's no heat source underneath the basket, it's all coming from above and if you fill the food basket edge to edge it doesn't circulate as well.

[@Mspiida]

Everytime I make a pie/quiche I prick my dough with a fork. Maybe do that in the prebake to make sure the air is circulated? I have never worked with an airfryer before, but it might help?

[@bruceelgin2083]

Do you mean the Maillard reaction? That can happen at a bit below 350. The issue is he just isn't getting enough heat to the bottom of the crust. The airfryer just isn't for everything.

[@yourmomsfavoritepodcast4460]

Bruce Elgin but at the same time not cooking something at the right temperature is kinda a problem in cooking lmao😂

[@ssprin]

Air fryers only have a heating element in the top and a fan. He could have just flipped the quiche over and cooked it some more.

Thank you! My air fryer arrived 4 days ago and I love it so far. I will definitely be using my oven a lot less for day to day cooking. It goes a long way having pros like yourself, Sam the Cooking Guy, Chef John, Gordon Ramsey (even if he is compensated by Philips), and coming up(?) Alex, show the learning curve and the innovative ways to use this very handy appliance. I don't do gadgets for the sake of just having one, I need to put my tools to good use. Don't have a lot of space either so I don't have a food processor because I have a good knife, no blender either but a friend gave me a nutri-bullet, My mortar and pestle are not decorative items although I do have a coffee grinder that I now use as a dedicated spice grinder. Thanks to you and the others I have mentioned, I can focus on refining techniques while also refining the recipes to suit my taste and needs. I have food allergies and plain dislikes for certain ingredients. Sorry for the long post but I have wanted to express my appreciation for a long time.

Cooking in itself is a “craft” so to speak. Being crafty is a necessity when cooking. Just open your fridge and make something with what you have. A lot of ingredients can be substituted by others and even though it will change the recipe, it will still be as good/bad as it would have. Of course there are some ingredients that can’t be swapped, but that’s the exception not the rule.

[@LadidaShaw]

This is my guest. The pie crust (and pizza dough in another video) didn’t work because you sealed the bottom off. Heat only comes from the top, then it’s circulated around the fryer using the fan. When you seal/obstruct the sides and bottom with the dough, there is no air getting to the bottom. You shouldn’t cover the bottom entirely, it will probably not work.

[@mjohnsimon1337]

I got around it by letting it proof inside the airfryer, and then I carefully took out the dough, put it in the largest nonstick skillet I had, and just cooked the bottom for like 2-3 minutes on high (until I saw smoke). Then I followed the recipe and it came out awesome with a cooked bottom! Though I did prefer the doughy bottom from last time... Hypothetically I could've just cooked the whole thing first in the airfryer and THEN put it in the pan to cook the bottom... actually, I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how that turns out

[@Rainwatercolor]

@@mjohnsimon1337 I was thinking you could flip it over on a piece of foil and do a fast 2 min 380 to finish it off? I'm really new am waiting for my new instant pot with fryer to arrive and found YOU! Of course I subscribed YOU are really knowledgeable

[@Wizkid490]

A word of caution about that cheese sauce - it's really only going to work with pre-shredded cheese, and even then YMMV. Cheese sauce is an emulsion, which needs and emulsifier to stay smooth. In this case, that's the starch used to keep the cheese from clumping. Even then, you can see it's not a great emulsion, and breaks when he tries to add more water. If you intend to make it at home, add some cornstarch and heat it to a near boil. Also, if you're going to put a bowl in your air fryer, make it a metal one. Glass might shatter due to the sudden temperature gradient...

[@CologneCarter]

WOW, I've been making cheese fondue for decades each Christmas and I never really knew why I put the starch in the cheese and whine mixture.

What if you used a round mold or something to make a "mini-quiche" that would leave a little more room for the air to circulate around the bottom?

[@dadbodthirsttrap]

I was thinking the same thing. He could even use several of the smaller ones like he used for the egg and make mini quiches.

[@walkingDaLine100]

As long as there is space for air to circulate to the under side of whatever you're cooking, be it in a container or not, then it'll cook much better. I do small breakfast bakes in mine with pred ushed on the bottom of a small container and then egg + toppings on it and it cooks great.

Yeah tinfoil around the edges works too as the edges cook faster whenever I make a pie I do this then remove it when I want the edges cooked more.

I wish you could add pictures here, I was inspired and made some "pop tarts" today. Blueberry preserves from last summer and homemade pie crust from the freezer, they turned out amazing and were a delightful little treat!

Just a question, did you do them on airfry or bake? Thanks.

[@nancygibson2659]

Great ideas! Thank you so much. I just my new air fryer. Most recipes are for frozen items. I love that you are making thing from scratch. I did find a fantastic video for battered onion rings breaded with panko crumbs that turned out fantastic. Golden, crispy and delicious! 🌞♥️😁

I love making my toast in the air fryer every morning. French bread toasted, it comes out golden (400F for 6 mins, turning at 3) and crisp all the way through. And I don't have to tend it, no burned crusts.

yipee, glad I found your channel from the person you recreated the pie from! (btw they are from hong kong not south korea!)

Your air fryer videos are my favorite!!! I never knew you could roll out bread like that to make a crust!
