I want my baked/jacket potatoes quickly so I give two largish potatoes 10 mins in the microwave and then 10 minutes in my airfryer basket and they come out good. The microwave begins the internal cooking and then the airfryer continues and also gives nice crispy skin which you could never get with a microwave.
I'm so pleased to have found your air fryer video. I've been searching, but always the videos that appear show a different type of air fryer, the ones with baskets where the food is placed inside. I was despairing of finding one which showed my actual air fryer, which doesn't have a basket, only various wire trays - and here you are! Yay. So.... on behalf of all us viewers with the exact same air fryer as you, please please for many more cooking examples, please? And as a newbie to this gadget it would be great to watch a "beginner tutorial " on setting up this machine. I'm a little confused on the usage of the different trays and things that come with it. Anyway, thank you for this great tutorial on getting a perfect jacket potato with this model air fryer.
Thanks for your follow! I did do an unboxing of the Deluxe Air Fryer way back a million years ago (it feels like) but I should update that video, huh? If you want to see the old video, here is the link th-cam.com/video/UkySG7Hb7D8/w-d-xo.html But I think I should unbox another! :)
Superb video interesting enjoyed every moment. I have always used foil when i have baked potatoes in oven. Poking with a fork i thought it was to help the cooking the inside of the potatoes. I baked a couple potatoes in my air fryer before seeing your video skins were little over cooked but inside nice and creamy. Next ones i will wrap in foil.many thanks.
I luv your excitement about cooking and trying different foods in the PCAF!! I subscribed to you after the first video of yours I watched!! I love your enthusiasm and expressions whenever you cook and explain
love your very clear instructions..great video..i too was disappointed with the thick tough skins on baked potatoes so this will be a new try for me with foil...
There's a good debate on the foil in air fryer. The idea behind it is that it inhibits air flow if you cover the trays with it, thus creating a problem for air flow and it's hard on the machine. So if you just wrap your food in the foil (and make sure it has good air flow) you should be fine. I've been putting foil-wrapped food in mine for over a year. :) BUT everyone needs to do what they feel comfortable with.
Great video... Because, Tonight I'm attempting to make baked potatoes in my air fryer, and that's how I tuned into your channel, here's one observation from my experience with an air fryer, to me, they tend to run hot... Compared to the cooking instructions on a bag of something compared to an oven, your potato "skin" may have come out tough because of too much heat, I might suggest lowering the temperature, by 50°(350-360), and increasing the time, 5 to 10 min. remember, potatoes should be cooked thoroughly, and someone somewhere mentioned a internal temperature of 205-212 degrees. I am enjoying learning how to cook with an air fryer, but I am learning at least possibly with my model, that it potentially runs hot when cooking, and that sentence does not mean that there's something wrong with the air fryer, but it's the intense heat that is created, basically in a nutshell, the device is an electric burner... With an air fan, contained in a cooking box... :-) I look forward to more of your videos, they seem well thought out and a fair evaluation, when we are discerning how to cook with this new modern device :-)
Good insight! I'm always learning and adventuring! I will have to try that. I wonder if I could get my wired thermometer in there during my next potato bake/fry to see just when it's done... Hmm hmm hmmm. Oh and WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! ;)
Not sure if this is true but I think that because you are cooking in a smaller airspace that the temperature is always hotter than what is set compared too the larger oven hence I always lower the temperature setting below what is normal cooking setting.
Aluminum potato nails will simply hasten the baking process, because heat is conducted to the center of the potato as well as the outside, causing more uniform baking.
Great videos ! I had an airfryer who looks inside like yours but his name is Breville. Please tell me how you clean this airfryer inside ? I try to clean it inside when is still worm spraying the walls of the oven with an non aggressive oven cleaner who does not require rising with water but it remains some weird stains. I read that the inside is made from galvanized steel. Thank you in advance for your help !
Subscribing because this the the exact air fryer I bought months ago but haven’t even plugged in. I have no counter space. Trying to figure it out. This will happen though.
@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking I used canned. I rinsed and dried them first. The possibilities are endless. I'm still working on the cooking time, but 20-25 seems to be right. The CRUNCH is so satisfying!
It's a Deluxe Air Fryer from Pampered Chef. Here is the link for you :) www.pamperedchef.com/pws/aecheather/shop/Small+Appliances/Air+Fryer/Deluxe+Air+Fryer/100194
Thank you for the testing, I will try it with the barrel. A couple of questions. I was told i can not use foil in my Pampered Chef Air Fryer. Second question if i use only three potatoes will cooking time change? :)
I don't think a time change is necessary for less potatoes. Just make sure you fork them for doneness. Also, If you google "foil in the air fryer" you will get a lot of great advice on using foil in your machine. The main problem with foil in the air fryer is the air flow restriction. As long as you don't have an air flow issue, foil inside your DAF is fine.
I prefer small Idaho potatoes, the only brand, to me there’s a difference. Idaho if you don’t use them up as fast as you anticipated they don’t start sprouting nearly as fast. I’m waiting this out of curiosity, never to old to learn, one thing for sure No basket I have a Cosori Dual Blaze elements top and bottom, game changer. I say that because I also have the instant 6 qt, new one with the window I like that feature. Cosori is the one I use daily.
After using my air fryer for a long time and reading others info manuals on other air fryers, I believe the "no foil in the air fryer" is simply to prevent people from inhibiting the air flow in their machines (when they cover the whole tray with foil), thus blowing up their motors. So I feel confident using it in my air fryer, but everyone needs to do what they feel is safest for them. However, here two years in it's been just fine. Hope that was helpful!
Wrapping in foil is not a healthy option because the chemicals within the aluminum foil leach into the food. Wouldn't parchment paper sealed with toothpick(s) be a better option? Love the basket!
To me, a baked potato should have a crisp salty skin and an inside with the texture of mashed potato. I use a Ninja twin compartment air fryer and have just baked a 130 g. potato for 45 min at a temp of 200 DegreesC. The potato is cooked to roughly the texture of a normal boiled potato. There are a lot of demonstrations on YoyTube relating to this cooking process but none seem to go to the mininal trouble of noting the actual weight of the potatoes. My Ninja does have an exact temperature of 200 degreesC when set to that. I never wrap my potatoes or prick them. I am going to carry out a series of experiments with different weightsa of potato to try and establish for a graph exactly what baking ti,me will produce my perfect baked potato.
So many different models cook at different rates. I’m not scientific so I’m not sure why. The things I’ve read seem to say that the smaller the air fryer, the hotter and quicker it will cook. Wonder if anyone else agrees. Update - I was so wrong! I guess t’s not a microwave so our lunch potatoes also took same amount of time. I took your last test olive oil/salt/pepper in foil. The skins did brown a bit and were so good w/ a slice of cheese melted on it.
What about doing a Boiled Egg in the AirFryer???? Air Fryer Hard 'Boiled' Eggs (no boiling, no water)😫 I've tried twice now and both times they came out raw!!!!
I did some in the air fryer and did a video. The real key is the rest after it's done. Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs: 19-20 minutes on 250. 6 minute rest (do not remove from air fryer or anything), 6 minute ice bath, then peel immediately. This works amazing for me, but some people say their middles are still a little softer than they prefer. So I would try one with this method and see if it works for ya :)
Me too. Don't have a basket. Agree that Air fryers make potato skins very tough unless wrapped in foil which creates a steamed potato. Seems to me better to stick to a conventional oven
Well, yes. The directions on the DAF say to not use foil, however I fully believe that they don't want you to use foil to line the trays which would impede the air flow. I have used foil in mine on many occasions and as long as 1.) it's not restricting air flow and 2.) it's not touching the sides or top or the element... then I believe it to be just fine. However, you do what you fell safe doing. :)
I like properly crispy skins, that's how a good jacket potato should be 😋
Amen! Preach it from the hills! LOL
LOVED YOUR VIDEO, I'M WRAPPING IN FOIL... THEN OIL SALT AND PEPPER, I LOVE MY AIR FRYER. THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO 🙂

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking thank you for such a prompt reply. It's appreciated.
I like to put my spuds into the microwave for about five minutes or more before putting them into the Air Fryer to crisp them. Perfectly
Oooooh that is a great idea!
It was a pleasure to watch your determination, clear instruction for perfection. I like your enthusiasm.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the love! :)
Perfectly explained, thank you

Looks yummy ✨😋 Thank you for sharing.. 🙏
Great presentation, thank you so much.
First time doing baked pptato in my PC air fryer. Im going to wrap mine- i like more of a steam result. THANKS!!
Tried these tonight ~ olive oil foil. Tremendous!
Thank you for your dedication to perfection! I love that you tried them all
I to liked seeing different versions of baked potatoes made more interesting and encouraging to watch to end of video
I Like that you used the word "Constracting" instead Contradicting. Your vocabulary is top notch, just like your video.
Thumbs up!
I loved your video!
love your very clear instructions..great video..i too was disappointed with the thick tough skins on baked potatoes so this will be a new try for me with foil...
Excellent demonstration. Everything you ever wanted to know or not know about air frying potatoes..................thank you.
Love baked potatoes. Thanks for the video. One thing though, I was told to never put aluminum foil in the air fryer.

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking if the foil inhibits air flow, won't the pans they say that can be used do the same thing?
@@annhardin3108 The pans are smaller then the racks, so the air gets around them quite perfectly!
I was told never use foil in a microwave. Next time I want a bake potatoes I'll try the foil
*I think I can eat that food until I fall asleep 😂*
*You're amazing. I want to cook like you.*
I love your videos! I love potatoes! The major football stadium in my neighborhood makes them bacon wrapped😃. Now I have to try it!😁😁😁😋😋😋

Aluminum potato nails will simply hasten the baking process, because heat is conducted to the center of the potato as well as the outside, causing more uniform baking.

Can put in microwave for 3 mins it helps cut the time in the airfryer

@@thatgirl626 no worries! But wouldn’t that be epic???
@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking YES
Try it with a potato nail in it. The potato nail helps cook the inside.
I have never heard of this! I may try!

Ron Popeil would love the Rotisserie function.
He would just set it.....and forget it.
1/2 micro wave 1/2 air fryer for me is best
Ohhhh that is a great idea!
I notice you pricked the potatoes quite a few times, this may be the cause of the unwrapped potatoes drying out slightly.
Thank you! I had no idea until recently that you actually do not need to prick your potatoes! Only in the microwave!
So many different models cook at different rates. I’m not scientific so I’m not sure why. The things I’ve read seem to say that the smaller the air fryer, the hotter and quicker it will cook. Wonder if anyone else agrees.

Use smaller potatoes. 45 minutes not that long when it can take 2 hours in oven
Did anyone ever try to prove the myth of the " Exploding Potato " on Mythbusters?

You don’t need to waste foil. It is not necessary to wrap potatoes
Bring on the sour creme and chives

Dissappointed that it takes 45 min...
Yah, me too.
Me too. Don't have a basket. Agree that Air fryers make potato skins very tough unless wrapped in foil which creates a steamed potato. Seems to me better to stick to a conventional oven
I still think an oven is the best way to have a very tasty Jacket potato
Too right.
Use smaller potatoes and 2 rather than just one potato
???? Just read that you shouldn't use foil in your pampered chef????? Please HELP?????? Thank You!!!!!
