I am so glad I found your channel and this video! I got an air fryer as a gift last week and have been making all sorts of fun stuff. Today I made hot dogs, following this vid. Toasting the buns with cheese inside NEVER occurred to me. It was AWESOME, especially with my horseradish mustard.
Very thoughtful. Answering FAQ before we started asking! This video alone is a great Crash Course - and funny too - "No Dollar Store oil sprayers!" LOL. Thank you
Thank you Doug, you are a Great Cook. This Air Fryer is NOT as simple as a Microwave because of the Pre-heat time, and continual checking of how the cooking is going. Cooking Instructions for This particular Airfryer's NOT in The Owners Manual that comes with it the Box. The manual only shows all the parts, and warnings of how not to damage the unit or people. Do they have a cook book for this particular Airfryer which includes times and Temperatures each type of food should be cooked?
I got the Instant Pot Vortex free on market place because the handle had broken off. I used gorilla glue and you can’t tell it was broken. It was only 6 months old they said. I love it! I made hamburger patties, roasted green beans, and sweet potato fries. They were great.
Thanks Doug. I just bought my Instant Vortex today so I am so glad to find you on TH-cam. You do a great job explaining and demonstrating how to use the air fryer.
I just bought this air fryer yesterday. This has really helped me out a lot. Today I plan to test it out by cooking some chicken thighs . Thanks for the helpful info! Stay blessed
Thanks for this video. I just bought this Fryer so I'm trying to see how it works before I get it. I have the instant pot, and I love the Instant Pot company
For English users, the temperature reading can be changed to ‘Centigrade’ by simply holding down the Temp button, for a few seconds and vice versa! I also found that you can cook anything that the more expensive machines can, without having to mess about with loadsa buttons or fancy diagrams! I just alter the times and keep the temp recommended in cookery books and packets …. Oh, and Oven chips are the best!
Wow thanks Doug. for the informative video. I just got my Vortex Air Fryer w/ dehydrator. Was upset because very little instructions come with it. 80 yrs old is never to old to learn new things. Hopefully will learn how to dehydrate with it too. Thank goodness my last job was with computers as know how to move around computer or Ipad.
Just got my first air-fryer. Just found you. Videos are simple & easy to understand. I subscribed. Don't have fb or any other platform. So fries to start out with & get some Evo. Got it. Thanks. Will be back always.
I just used my new Instant Vortex today, and, you're right, it has a mandatory pre-heat of 385 degrees for a few minutes. I don't understand why either. I had an American Harvester Jet Stream oven for many years, and it was basically an air fryer before they called it that. No pre-heat on those and it worked just fine, but, not a deal breaker. I did buy the parchment paper inserts to help with clean-up simply because I was cooking chicken and sometimes even on non-stick chicken skins can stick to the surface. I got my Instant Vortex on sale, and the feature I do like, is the see-thru window and the light function. It's very helpful. When the cooking time gets down to about a minute , the light automatically goes on, so you can see if you need to extend the time. Going to try sweet potato fries tomorrow. Thanks for the tip on the oil sprayer because I need a new one and was wondering which one, so I'm going to try the EVO brand.
I got my Instant Vortex 6qt 4 in 1 Air Fryer for Christmas because I got tired cooking the same stuff over and over I have done steaks, chicken, fries, and pork chops
Excellent video! First person I've seen to take the time to explain everything and cook food explaining times and what to do. Clean up looks really easy too. Looks like a great air fryer. Gonna go check out your newbie air fryer playlist now.
You really helped me the most when I got my Ninja Foodi last year. I am learning the Ninja Grill now. ❤️❤️❤️ I realized the cook times in the book were wrong for The Ninja Foodi. I had to go to you tube.
“Haven’t opened up the boxes yet.” How did you know? 😎 I have two Instant Mini Vortex air fryers that I intend to run side by side but am too intimidated to use them. I’m building up the courage though, any day now…😂
The hot dog, fries and veggies looked delicious! However, the food must be getting cold as you cook all the varieties for one plate. What is your secret! I figure that you are showing the possibilities but not at the same meal.
love the basket with the vortex is there another brand of air fryer that has this kind of basket? with arthritis in both hands finding pressing the button to get the basket out hard
My first time watching your nice relaxed presentation on a good airfryer. I especially like the intuitive twist nob to balance the push button settings and all on a beautiful, long lasting panel. I'm probably going to order the Nuwave because it claims tight control on temp for consistent results; kinda like sus vida.
I am so happy you are using this air fryer I have this not sure how it all works how long does it have that plastic smell after you buy it,we eat very plain my husband doesn't like to many spices,do we need to use them,will you be using meat like pork chop or steak thanks
3 seconds in...Holy crap😆 All of those appliances! Very informative video though! Concerned about the coating of the fryer on your food, chemicals? Since u mentioned the plastic cheap bottles. Also the booklet says to rinse the basket , do not immerse basket and no dishwasher?
I really like your video. Personally, I had better results adding oil using the spritzer type, as opposed to the aerosol type. (Pam wasn't too successful...LOL) I will look into the one you suggest.
Great idea Doug! This is a great beginning series and answers so many questions :) I know if I were a newbie I would be watching this video over and over for all the info !! I was curious how the vortex performed too. Thanks for sharing :)
The instructions clearly state on my Vortex that you should NOT put the removable pan in the dish washer or immerse it in water. I only clean it by doing what you showed in the video.
Doug which air fryer cooks the food better, the Cosori or the Instant Vortex? If they both do a good job at cooking the food, then regarding the clean up it looks like the Instant Vortex would be much easier to clean because the Cosori basket has so many cut vents in the metal. Can you please confirm?

Just got the EVO sprayer.
Loved the video

Thanks you are so helpful

Damn you're good you've done your homework I'm keeping about around

Thnx doug got 1 coming today 😊

What about the ceiling? Usually some oil gets stuck up. How easy is it to clean this one?
Loving those hot dogs Doug 😊
I love hotdogs in air fryer. I put knife slits on mine and they look fancy.
Wow nice I want one lol
This is the one I just brought. Can you deyderare Bannas or Apples in it?
This was so helpful

Hey hey Mel...How you been boo 😘
@@COOKINGWITHDOUG hey :) I am good just busy with work and life!!
Does the temperature go higher than 400 fahrenheit?
The instructions clearly state on my Vortex that you should NOT put the removable pan in the dish washer or immerse it in water. I only clean it by doing what you showed in the video.
Then do that lol 😆
Thank you so much,
What is the difference between f and c. When bakinkg
Use dishwasher to clean. Fast and sanitary
well that was easy enough what about baking dessert in it
What type of watch is that?
Doug which air fryer cooks the food better, the Cosori or the Instant Vortex?
If they both do a good job at cooking the food, then regarding the clean up it looks like the Instant Vortex would be much easier to clean because the Cosori basket has so many cut vents in the metal.
Can you please confirm?
New on the block 💯💥
Does the GrillGrate fit in the 6 qt Instant Pot Vortex Air Fryer like it did in the 5.8qt Cosori?
Yes...the vortex is slightly bigger so that wouldnt be a problem
Good looking and easy recipes.
Do you prefer the Vortex fryer or the Cosori??
Oh man I'm watching tomorrow's videos..lol. 😁
Can you cook chicken cutlets in it ?
