Nick wanted an air fryer because he really wants an Easy-Bake oven. Air fryers are awesome - for grilled (not burned) veggies, all proteins... no pre-heating, fast and low power use.
Air fryer being basically an oven is what I like about it. Personally live in an area where it’s too hot the whole year, air conditioner makes the electric bill go high and when using the oven, the whole home gets even warmer for hours, so that is just a bad time. Air fryer has helped saved a lot of money in that regard and we are not dealing with 2-3 hours of extra warmth after cooking anything with it.
exactly! also, it replaces 3 gadgets in my house (toaster, microwave, grill) and our oven does not have a convection setting and will not crisp up anything.
I’m with Nick on this one. I bought one of those electric pots with settings for soup, stew, baking, frying etc and literally it’s been one of my best kitchen investments ever. I don’t have patience with any dish that takes more than 30 minutes to cook and kept burning stuff because I would get distracted or leave the kitchen and forget I had something on the stove 🫣. This pot and frozen diced vegetables saved my diet and my sanity 😅🎉
Exactly, you go man ! Do the fuck you like and want. If you don't know how to cook, it is okay, who cares really. Take the machines you need and live your dreamy meal every day ! Love !
Nick would struggle with Hello Fresh imo, it's lots of chopping and stuff - but hey he can follow a recipe. NICK.........order some Hello Fresh and let us watch you make a real meal!! XX
Nick and Matteo, together hanging out, cracks me up. But it would be an awesome series thought on teaching Nick one simple meal or dish at a time. The conversation and possible humor that could arise makes me smile. You both are awesome sauce!
😂😂😂. As someone who didn't start learning to cook until after graduating college, I can confirm that having a gadget you enjoy does make things easier even if it's the same amount of work. And, as the world's slowest cook, I can also confirm that the Instant pot, for example, took my cooking frozen chicken from a several hour affair with multiple pots/pans and constant attention to dumping in water, chicken, and spices, reliable results in under half an hour, and no difficult cleanup. You can also do amazing things with a stick blender. And tight schedules make overnight crockpot cooking an absolute lifesaver. Do what works best for you.
As someone with a life long restrictive ed i have to say that nick is 100% right about needing to take baby steps, one of the first things i was told by a nutritionist was exactly that. Its incredibly hard to change life long eating habits, ed or not, and trying to force big dietary changes will just demotivate you.
Same boat with the restrictive ed. I had a nutritionist say I need to deal with my mental hangups on food first before changing my diet and I've stopped here 😅
Joe Says: OH! They are using "ed" to mean "eating disorder!" I was reading these comments and saying to myself, "What does erectile dysfunction have to do with your Dietary habits?!?"
Nick order your groceries and have them delivered... Also, they make small crock pots, guys. No need to make an 8 person sized meal. And the air fryer can make your frozen meatballs and most other frozen meats and veggies. They even have instructions for them now on the food package.
"I like strawBERRIES, but they should MIND their own business..." I SPAT out my lunch, Matteo. xD Love this little podcast-- 15 min is a great amount of digestible podcast and treat from these two.
i love the expression on matteo's face when nick tells him about the pre chopped garlic in a jar, it makes him angry, but he contains it with this "not the time to unpac this right now" expression, and i feel that, i have felt that with people in my life that are very dear to me. I do not care that i am reading into this more than is reasonable, i felt seen.
I loved that moment, too - and read it almost the same way. Matteo let it go because he was wrong. Nick is never going to chop fresh garlic, and the stuff from the jar is 1,000 times better than garlic powder. It’s actually the perfect shortcut for Nick. Before you answer, I want you to repeat, either out loud or to yourself, “Nick is never going to chop fresh garlic.” Say it five times, and remember to put the emphasis on NEVER. He’s the one trying to cook more; not Matteo, and not you. Advice has to be useful for the person you’re advising, or else you’re just being judgmental, not helpful.
@thoughtfulskeptic7529 yep and sometimes getting the best result is just hurtful and stressful for someone and their best is not THE best, and we should just take a beat and be quiet and let them have their better swap
Sit-down Pizza Huts still exist. They're not common, but they exist, especially in small cities. Also, I love when these two interact, just because they're both pretty hardcore out-of-touch, but in different ways. And because of that, they make *hilarious* content.
In the UK I'm pretty sure you can only get sit down ones, but I don't live in a big city to be fair so may not be the case in all of them, all the ones I know of though
I love my air fryer and use it all the time! Although the baking time is about the same as in a regular oven, the air fryer doesn't have to be preheated because of its smaller volume, and that's where the time savings come from.
I just bought an Instant Pot as a Christmas gift to myself, it's a combination pressure cooker and slow cooker. I made beef tips and they turned out AMAZING. I want to try making birria next.
I took a year or more to decide to buy one back in 2019/20, I finally got one and I use it so much. Everything I have cooked has been amazing. Have fun with experimenting different foods
With a crockpot, you can make food for the week & meal prep. Keep some stuff in the freezer, some in the fridge. It’s really convenient if your have a busy schedule. And you can even reheat some of the food in the Air Fryer! 😂
You guys are great! Matteo, I know you’re bucking to be the next Barefoot Contessa but you can definitely cook a roast in a crockpot 😊. Have a great holiday you guys! 🎅🎄
I live in a camper and my airfryer (12 in 1) is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I can bake, air fry, sous vide, make yogurt, and hella more. Game changer if you don't have a good oven or you have issues getting yourself to cook/eat!
I'm a cooking enthusiast and a bit of a traditionalist like Matteo with most thing but I have to say I love my Ninja Foodi, I use it almost every day. A full roast chicken in 30-40 minutes? Why would you wanna wait for 1hr 20 for a dry chicken? Pressure cook for 15, air crisp for another 20 basting with garlic butter every 5, rest, done. Perfect juicy, flavourful chicken everytime,plus you can then make the gravy with the meat juices and butter in the same pot afterwards.
My issue with instant pots is that building the pressure in the machine before cooking and then letting out all of the steam after takes so long that it ends up taking just as much time as a regular recipe but more dangerous and less convenient
Air fryers ARE just countertop ovens after all 😂 great ep! Slow cookers are the king of easy good cooking, you just have to plan ahead a tiny bit. (Channeling my inner Adam Ragusea today!)
Instant pots are amazing, super easy to use and completely safe. They're pressure cookers so there is steam to release that feels aggressive but that isn't too bad.
Ooommmgggg ! By far this is one of the funniest ones😂😂😂 I'm on a very quiet bus headed to Reno and I'm covering my mouth because I cannot keep this laugh inside😂😂😂
as an ADHD girly, Matteo is a nightmare lol. cooking is NOT easy, not for me. I also live on frozen dinners, canned soup, & boxed mac & cheese, so I’m with Nick on this.
As an ADHD mind, I take my recipe around to pick up all items of recipe put them on counter. Have everything before cookingl - ncluding tools. Stay calm and look at recipe a lot since ADHD memory is shit.
Air fryer saved my life i can set a timer on it and walk away. The one i have doesn’t take up much space .I do love creative cooking though and generally will follow recipe outlines but not exact. (i also have adhd) I started tracking my meals and counting my calories to make sure I get enough food in a day cause otherwise i forget to eat. i tried not using the app to track for just a couple days and immediately realized I need to keep using it forever probably lol
Hahaha you 2 kill me 😂 ,having a crockpot is like having someone that lives with you and knows how to cook. You can make a roast that is scrumptious... You can make tons of stuff in a crockpot.
We were similarly disappointed in the (smallish) air fryer we received as a gift. it's clumsy to use and saves almost zero time. I'm told a larger one would be easier to use, but even the small one takes up all the extra counter space. The only plus so far is easy cleanup
Air Fryers: GREAT for the summer: they heat up faster, they don't heat up the whole house. Instapot: Pressure cooker, fast to cook things that normally take hours. They don't explode if you follow the directions.
My wife wanted a pasta maker. I said they are called rolling pins. You would never use a pasta maker and they aren't wide enough to make a decent amount of pasta. My wife complained to her friends, her family, my friends " he won't buy me a pasta maker" I bought the pasta maker, the pasta air drier - look it up, it's a mini wooden clothes drier for pasta -and have the boxes ever been opened? No. My wife is the best cook and we love shop bought tortellini now
You could make soup in a crock pot, eat what you want, let the rest cool down, then freeze it in a zip lock or container to save it for later. But if you're just using a can of soup, put it in a sauce pan and just warm it up. Then freeze what you don't use.
I have been begging for an air fryer for xmas this year, GO FOR IT NICK!!! My old roomie had one & it was easily the best gadget in our place, like you can make so much in it & in a pretty quick time.
Air fryers don’t need preheating like an oven and I find cooks things slightly faster. Something that takes a half hour in the oven takes maybe 20 in the air fryer.
@@sams517 it's just an adjective. Some NDs are more mellow, mild salsa and some are higher intensity and spicy and anyone of us can experience the whole spectrum and oscillate from mild to extra spicy, none of the which is superior. Really doesn't exist except in my head perhaps.
Also with Matteo’s background at the container store and Nick as a real estate agent an organization/ space utilization in NYC would be a great episode!
Pressure cookers and instant pots are perfectly ok. In spain we use pressure cookers a lot. They don't explode anymore, they have pressure relief valves to automatically release any excess pressure built up inside.
Ugh I felt Nick at 7:55 I work in a sit down restaurant at an airport, I host, serve, bus, bartend, barista, train staff, put in stock orders, send reports to head office and more…. But I’m just a “server” on paper haha
I agree, u dont need an air fryer nor a microwave to even cook solo. A regular oven or even oven toaster (one that comes with rotissiere for good size to bake solo) and then an induction cooker with a set of casserole, deep fry pan or smaller wok, a steamer pot ( if ur rice cooker does not come with at least a 10in diameter of a steamer.) Airfryer apparently for fries would still need oil or butter to cook em nicely so whats the point? Microwave ovens for pre cooked meals to heat, well u canmdo that over a reg stove or induction cooker. You dont lose out on flavor and texture. Id be more than happy to share u easy recipes if u want plug and play meals for solo and not waste food. Love u both for doing this hate discussions 😂❤
Nick: Come over I'll cook. ( Pours everyone a bowl of cereal).
Oh well done Nick...you have cooked the cereal al dente!.
Nick wanting a crockpot just warm up premade soup is sending me😂
Nick wanted an air fryer because he really wants an Easy-Bake oven. Air fryers are awesome - for grilled (not burned) veggies, all proteins... no pre-heating, fast and low power use.

I love the Easy Bake Oven!! Yeah I wanted one when I was an 8 year old. LOL

Toaster ovens are also good for that. Only bake and roast in the toaster over. I’ve never used my oven
I never liked you @lancefront1
I’m dying at Nick heating his canned soup up in a CROCK POT😭😭

I can't believe how much I have related to Nick in this episode. He truly is a voice for the people
Nick just get Hello Fresh. Literally is the type of cooking he wants
No that's too many steps. He needs microwave meals
Nick would struggle with Hello Fresh imo, it's lots of chopping and stuff - but hey he can follow a recipe.
NICK.........order some Hello Fresh and let us watch you make a real meal!! XX
Wut, he hates cooking 😂
No HelloFresh definitely assumes you have some cooking knowledge. GreenChef had a ton of steps but it explained things more. He needs Factor 😂
He should do Factor for no cooking at all or Every Plate for minimal, super easy to follow cooking. They even have a helpline 😄
Nick and Matteo, together hanging out, cracks me up. But it would be an awesome series thought on teaching Nick one simple meal or dish at a time. The conversation and possible humor that could arise makes me smile. You both are awesome sauce!
I can’t believe Matteo didn’t call Nick out for “You want me to go all the way from A to B with nothing in between??” Love you guys together. ❤

Nick can buy frozen mozzarella sticks for his air fryer. I feel like he might like this.
I literally cut up frozen pizza and make it in my air fryer. 10/10 would recommend (and will probably do this for dinner tonight)
“Strawberry anything is disgusting.”
“Well, you’re disgusting.”

After it spends 15-20 minutes coming up to pressure, and 15-20 minutes coming back down... I only use my instant pot as a slow cooker, honestly.
