Mel, being a single guy , working nites 14 hours , you're my hero!!! I always watch u to see what I'm doing!!!👍 I actually cook all my meals a week in advance on Sunday for my week!!! It works!!! I love my Air Fryer!!?
Hi Melanie. This worked perfectly. The tip of checking at 4:00 min. was great, as was the suggestion to use scissors. The best tip was your use of the air fryer. I had thought it strange my air fryer didn't have a pause function. I watched you just open it up without stopping and now I have the "pause" function I need. Thanks so much!
Hi Melanie! Love your channel! I am culinary challenged plus I do not have a working stove. Love the "from frozen with no defrosting" recipes. I am saving money because I do not have to rely on fast foods, I can actually COOK something. My Sister loves the recipes too! Thanks Melanie!
Twice I have prepared air fryer pizza, and both times, the pizza came out looking burnt. However, the pizza still came out crispy and tasty. I had no issues with pizza toppings flying off. I used Red Baron Deep Dish pepperoni pizza. Good job and good inspiration as always, Melanie!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes UPDATE: I air fried two small DiGiorno pizzas at 310 degress Fahrenheit recently, and they didn't come out burnt-looking! The key is low temperature cooking to avoid burnt-looking pizza. Thanks again, though, Melanie!
My first time cooking pizza in my ninja air fryer/ 7 in 1. Turned out great! I'm glad I found your video. Stopping at 4 minutes also allowed me to add fresh toppings because as you know frozen pizza can always use some help. I added pepperoni and more cheese. I'm gluten free so I haven't been able to find small pizzas. I just cut up a bigger one and fit a few slices in. Living in Texas I hate using the oven. Now I know I can make pizza. Now I just have to learn to bake in it. Lol
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! For baking, check out my videos for air fryer cake amzn.to/41NuwkA and air fryer muffins th-cam.com/video/d8uVad8Yld0/w-d-xo.html
@@MelanieCooksRecipes If going to leave enough for left overs, a light spray for the entire pizza before baking the pizza, does preserve its freshness for a few days in the refrigerator.
Wondering if placing a round air fryer grill mesh mat on a trivet over the pizza would divert enough of the forced air as to not disturb the toppings as much.
Tried this in an Instant Vortex Plus dt 375 for 4 minutes, the frozen pizza toppings were completely burnt and the crust was slightly burnt but the bottom side was a bit cold. I'm thinking 355 for 5 minutes. My guess is that this video was fcr a very specific pizza
Hi, Melanie! I have an update. I air fried a frozen pepperoni pizza in an oven-type air fryer at 350F for 10 minutes. I put it on the top rack. The pizza came out cooked well with none of the toppings flying off or looking burnt. So for something like frozen pizza, I recommend you try frozen pizzas in air fryer ovens rather than basket air fryers. Even still, thank you for all of your air frying videos, Melanie!
I bought a Quest pizza, and I only have an oven stryle air fryer. I plan on cooking in my air fryer, and want to know if I use the bake or air fry setting
I always use the default setting which is air fry. For the oven style, you can try the bake setting, I think that one will cook for evenly without burning the cheese
The crust won’t brown as well in silicone. When you put it directly in the air fryer basket, the air circulates on the bottom through the holes and browns the crust better
@@dracojdh sorry it didn't work for you! Air fryers differ, so probably mine runs hotter then yours. Please try adding an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
Melanie can I use a Reynolds Kitchen Oven Bag In a Roaster Oven, I have never use one before. I want to to use it for 21- pound Turkey. First time. 😬🤔😫😖 in a bag. ☹️. Help if you can. 😘🤗
I never tried it, but I'm guessing you can - since you can use it in regular oven, so why not in roaster oven. The only way I ever made turkey is in regular oven, in a brown paper bag: www.melaniecooks.com/best-thanksgiving-roast-turkey-recipe-in-a-brown-paper-bag-easy-no-basting/2500/

@@MelanieCooksRecipes thank you very much , I don't like a white (or not well-done) as a pizza maker I always told my staff to control the bottom of pizza cos it make a big difference to taste !
100% mine burnt bc its most likely thinner but also my air fryer is diff but it wasnt burt to the point where it was uneatable i ate it and it was still great video helped alot
I’ve been using it for years and my air fryer is still ok. If you’d rather not use the spray, you can brush the bottom of the basket with vegetable oil
In the video it's Emeril Lagasse 4 qt air fryer from Target. It's a 5 year old model and have been discontinued. It finally broke and I just got a new Cosori air fryer, check out my video of unboxing my new air fryer: th-cam.com/video/aRC-DrhPvY4/w-d-xo.html
No kidding. I especially love your veggies. Frozen vegetables are sometimes healthier than fresh as it is usually frozen directly after picking. When I had to change my diet for health reasons I did alot of research. I love roasted vegetables. I plan on checking out many more of your videos on that! So much simpler in the air fryer than heating up my oven in Texas. Thanks bunches.
I air-fried two of these pizza's which turned out really good. I also buy those Totino's Pizza's from Walmart. You know the rectangular ones. What temperature and cooking time to get those air-fried right?
Hi Melanie I’m for sure going try cook a pizza in my air fryer and never heard using scissors to cut a pizza but I’m for sure going try it. But I agree with another post On here please show us how cook hash browns in an air fryer ☺️
Next time please try preheating the air fryer for 4 minutes before putting the pizza in, and reduce the cooking time by 2 minutes. Someone told me it helped with soft bottom issue.
Sorry it didn't work. Air fryers differ, so please try this next time: decrease the temperature by 20F and preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes before putting in the pizza.
You are welcome! If the topping blow away in your air fryer, next time open the air fryer halfway through the cooking time and put the topping back and press them down (so they get glued to the cheese), then let it finish cooking
Sorry it didn’t work for you. Air fryers differ, your air fryer must run much hotter then mine. Next time please try 270F and check on it frequently so it doesn’t burn
Thank you for the scissors tip. I didn't have a fancy kitchen scissor laying around so I used my child's safety scissors instead. It wasn't a very "safe" scissor as the grease from the pizza had my slice slip and so there was the added taste of blood on my burnt dollar store frozen pizza. Luckily, I had some box wine laying around to really compliment my misery. I mean, my meal.
Melanie is my second mom. I frequent her videos every other day now trying something new in my new air fryer. Thank you MOM!

Is there any difference using or not using a air fryer silicone pot when cooking frozen pizza?
The crust won’t brown as well in silicone. When you put it directly in the air fryer basket, the air circulates on the bottom through the holes and browns the crust better
@ Thanks
This helped a lot
I'm so glad! 😊
Mama cozzi!!!! I love aldi. I have a small air fryer and a toaster oven. Which one should I pitch??
I’d keep both for now and check back in a few months to see if you are still using the toaster oven :) Don’t get rid of it unless it has no use
@@MelanieCooksRecipes actually my toaster oven have a convection fan in it. I'll pitch my tiny air fryer. Haven't used it in months. Thanks!!
@@adelinenicholas922 yes if you haven't used it in months, it's time for it to go :)
I continued to find a light spray of the entire frozen pizza, not just the crust, makes it come out as fresh as if home made - all of it.
It also the secret to air frying fries and hamburgers, chicken, etc. to give them the test.
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
Hello Melanie. Do you have a recipe for pizza in a square air fryer?

I have a digital air fryer with presettings like chicken roast etc So you don’t have to push the pizza option button?
