      The key to making them super crispy in an air fryer (just like with chicken wings) is to use a bit of corn starch instead of flour. Makes them very crispy!

    The format is still the same which is great, but there's still one thing I would really love to see - all the chefs trying each other's food. I'm sure it would be a scheduling nightmare but it would make good content.

  • @KingKP96
    @KingKP96 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I respect the level 2 way of life.
    Level 1 is understandable but after having done home cooking myself it's impossible to go back to eating certain things that are store bought (like sauce) after tasting the difference with something I made at home myself. Level 3 is impressive and has to be satisfying/delicious but I 100% don't have the time/money to do absolutely EVERYTHING from scratch. I'm very comfortable being a Level 2 chef for life, it's the best middle ground to have.

    • @partyboyrob
      @partyboyrob 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      the level 3 stuff is usually what I'd try out on weekends when I have more time. For during the week and after work, level 2 or even level 1 has to suffice usually, it's gotta be fast, efficient and delicious.
      However it's always possible to incorporate different ideas, e.g. wrapping the mozzarella in the prosciutoo, I'll definitely try that out some time.

    • @FutureCommentary1
      @FutureCommentary1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    ive been burnt by oil a ton, literally almost time i put any amount of oil in a pan it somehow ends up splashing on me, and although airfryers dont make food as great as deep frying does, it is so worth it just to avoid burns and blisters. it also is a lot better health-wise. also cooking bacon in an air fryer is literally the best method, i once cooked an entire pack in my air fryer (the peices were separated and on racks) and it took like 20 minutes in total.

    I've been a cook since I graduated high-school back in 2012 but while I was living on my own I got myself an airfryer because I had no idea what I'm suppose to do with the veggie oil after I make a single meal for myself so the airfryer was a big help
