Köfte
250 gr minced meat (you can use beef, lamb or mutton, whichever you like is fine)
1 small onion, halved
4 handfuls of stale breadcrumbs, crusts removed, (alternatively, 4 slices of bread works great as well)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon butter (skip butter if your meat is fatty)
• To prepare the köfte, add the stale breadcrumbs or slices and onion in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds.
• Add in the minced meat, baking soda, butter, salt and black pepper. Continue to pulse until it becomes a paste.
• Wet your hands and shape the mixture into flat round patties. Press your fingers on each patty to increase the surface area or you can shape them into balls.
• Cook the köfte in air fryer at 200 C (390 F) for 5-6 minutes. You can freeze them as well after cooking and heat before eating at the same temperature.

Crispy Fried Chicken
1 piece chicken breast fillet, diced or sliced(≈250 gr /≈0,5 oz)
1 piece boneless chicken thigh (≈150 gr /0,33 oz)
4 pieces chicken wings
4 tablespoons flour
1 heaping tablespoon garlic powder
1 heaping tablespoon hot paprika
1 heaping tablespoon coarse black pepper
1 heaping tablespoon salt
3 eggs
3 tablespoons cream (%35 fat)
6-7 handful of plain corn flakes (≈250 gr /≈7 oz)
- You need 3 stations for the crispy coating of the chicken. Take 3 medium sized trays. Add the first one 4 tablespoons of flour and mix it with half tablespoon of salt. On the other side of the tray, mix half tablespoon of salt, garlic powder, hot paprika and black pepper. Don’t mix the spices with the salted flour and you can use a little tabasco as well.
- For the second station, beat the eggs and cream with a pinch of salt.
- The last station is plain corn flakes. Crash 6-7 handfuls of corn flakes in a plastic bag and put them to third tray. It is ok to have some chunks as well.
- For the boneless thigh, just make a cut to the thick part to make it thinner. It will help to cook easier and evenly.
- First coat the chicken pieces with the spice mixture. Shake the excess spice and place them into flour and -again- shake the excess flour and dip them into the egg mixture.
- Take out with a fork so you can drain the excess liquid and finally coat them with corn flakes.
- Then place them into air fryer. Spray or brush them with oil and cook the thighs and wings for 8 minutes, breast pieces for 5-6 minutes on 200 C (390 F) until golden brown.
Air fryer Pide
200 gr all-purpose flour
120 ml water, lukewarm
1 teaspoon dry yeast
A pinch of sugar
1 heaped teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- Mix the water and yeast in a cup and add the sugar. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes.
- Combine the flour, salt and yeast water mixture in a large bowl.
- Mix and knead the dough for about 6 minutes until you have smooth and elastic dough.
- Grease the dough and bowl and cover with a damped kitchen cloth. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- After rising, transfer the dough on your counter and divide into two equal balls.
- Dust your work surface with flour and flatten the balls. Shape them into 15-20 cm (4-8 in) rounds with your hands. You can use a rolling pin for shaping as well.
- Place the dough on a baking paper. Cover with a kitchen cloth and let it proof for 15-20 minutes.
- Beat the egg and brush on top of the dough. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and nigella seeds or you can garnish with boiled beetroot, rosemary and flake salt.
- Place the dough in your air fryer with the baking paper. Bake for 4 minutes at 200 C (390 F). Then take out the paper and bake for another 4-5 minutes until golden.
Air Fryer Mac & Cheese
3 + 1/3 cups milk, 800 ml
200 g elbow pasta
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 freshly ground nutmeg
1 sprig of rosemary, leaves picked
3 slices of cured meat, chopped, 20 g, any cured meat that you love is great,
3 handfuls of shredded mozzarella, 150 g, any melting cheese works great
For topping,
Rosemary & chili flakes
- Place a heatproof enamel or pyrex bowl into your airf ryer or use its own baking pan if there is one.
- Add the elbow pasta to a heatproof enamel or glass bowl.
- Add in the milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salopen t and nutmeg and mix.
- Cook in air fryer at 200 C (390 F) for 22 minutes, mixing halfway
- Mix in the dried meat, rosemary and the one third of the mozzarella in pasta.
- Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top of the pasta.
- Sprinkle some rosemary and chili flakes and cook for another 5 minutes, and your wonderful pasta is ready to enjoy!
Crispy Fall Veggies
1 beetroot, diced
2 handfuls of diced pumpkin
2 handfuls of broccolis, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, grated or mashed
A pinch of salt
A pinch of oregano
A pinch of chili flakes or paprika
- You can use any vegetable you like for this recipe. The idea is mix veggies with some olive oil and spices and crisp them in air fryer. Easy and perfect! Just be careful to chop the broccolis bigger than pumpkin and beetroot, because until they get cooked broccoli can get burn.
- Mix the pumpkin, beetroot and broccoli with the olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano and chili flakes.
- Cook in air fryer at 180 C (355 F) for 12-4 minutes.
- For the perfect air fried eggplants, mix diced eggplants with salt and olive oil and cook at 180 C (355 F) for 15-18 minutes or until crispy.
❤❤ Thank you so much, Refika, for the review and these amazing recipes. 😊😊😊
Bless you, that is so sweet of you. Xo
Thank you i just wanted to buy my first airfrier very usefull video i think i m going to buy the one looks like a microwave
Refika - how come you don’t like Teflon? Please share! Thanks!
Thank you, Refika! I'd love to see another air fryer video. I could never get mine to cook evenly. I had a Phillips that was rotisserie are, not drawer style, although I never used the rotisserie function. Tje chicken always came out looking gorgeous, but never evenly cooked inside. I'm a very experienced cook, but this baffles me.
Buy buy BUY !!!! I teach Culinary Arts at University and as a Chef I tell you, buy the largest you can get. I just replaced my oven with one that has an airfryer built into it. Marvelous way of cooking, so fast and so healthy! Happy Cooking, hugs Kate ❣️
Thank you for sharing Kate 😇
@@bithealthier you are very welcome. You won't regret buying one. No heating up the kitchen, smells or heavy clean up. Happy cooking. ✅️
Thank you! I have the Ninja AF and grill and was thinking that I don't need a new stove. Your comment just helped me.
@@TheNinnyfee Between a large Airfryer/bake/grill unit and a multi function insta pot I rarely use my stove. If I'm cooking for 50 people of course, I might. ..🤣 Happy Cooking. Hugs Kate❣️
My air fryer is the Instant Vortex Plus 10-quart air fryer. It doesn't have a basket. Do you have an opinion about it? Should I purchase another cooking utensil? I want to use my (don't laugh) George Foreman Grill with it for healthier options. I also have a crock pot.
I’ve had an air fryer for over 2 years and I can’t imagine what I did before. I use mine almost every day. They are one of the best appliances ever invented. Two of my most treasured appliances are my Instant Pot pressure cooker and my Air Fryer.
Mine too, as well as my rice cooker. I'm obsessed with sushi bakes at the moment and the rice cooker is a must. I haven't mastered rice in my instant pot, I always seem to get the dreaded burn notice with it.
Can I fully cook steak and chicken breast in an air fryer?
@@anabel9449 I was wondering the same thing... Would you have to sear the meat first on a stove-top?
Me too!
Hello. I am curious about the taste of the potato fries? As you know the best are deep fried. Have you compared the taste from an Airfryer or from a thermo-circulating oven? I heard somewhere that AirFryer fries are the same as oven fritters.
Every dish I cooked based on your recipes has been absolute success! I enjoy watching your videos and your precise instructions and would love to see more Airfryer recipes. Or perhaps you could provide alternative instructions on all your recipes for cooking with Airfryer when that makes sense. I have a feeling there would be a lot of your followers that would like that
Great video! Super helpful. I have never really tried my air fryer much, but I will now. Could you perhaps make a few videos with specific recipes? It would be a huge help. Many thanks
Refika hanim this is why I love you. You take everything to a new level because most people don't have time but you my Queen You do the hard yard and give us the results wow I so appreciate you. Hats off to you and cheers my friend xxxx You blow be away xxxx
This was a great video!!! I have an airfryer but I never really knew what to do with apart from chips and frozen stuff.
I had no idea they could do all this.
This video is literally life changing 👍❤️🇦🇺
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
@@Refika very much so, Thanks 👍
My friend and I were just talking about air fryers last night and she went home and found your video. This has been SO informative. I knew absolutely nothing about air fryers other than that a lot of people LOVE them. So thanks for this amazing video!
I've had mine for almost 4 years and couldn't tell you the last time I turned my oven on, it must be at least a year since I cooked anything in it.
I just got a small one my sister won at a casino. I struggled with it using the book it came with, wasn't impressed. Watching this video, I'm learning quite a lot!
This is the first time I have taken issue with your videos. The “airfryer Queen” title has to be earned my friend😊 We may have to have an airfryer-off. (Airfryer cook off) I moved onto a multi function air fryer/toaster oven. It is made mostly of metal inside which solves the Teflon issue. I have a cuisinart that works great. I didn’t even think about melting butter. Guess I’m going to use my microwave for storage.
Watching your videos make me feel happy, like it's summer all year round.
Its the best addition to our kitchen ever,@@@@@@
Thank you Refika, you are so inspiring - possibly the only thing you can NOT do is be "boring"! Much love to you and yours - hoping all are well.
I’m on the fence about getting an air fryer so this is the exact info I need! Thank you! 😃
You might want to check out an air fryer like the Emeril 360. The size and shape allows me to cook things that won't fit in a traditional air fryer. We love ours.
I love you so much Refiqa!! Whenever I need comfort, I turn to your videos and your recipes are just addictive!! I wish nothing but the BEST to you and your team!
Wishing you to hit more than 10 millions subscribers in shaa Allah!!
You are an inspiration to many
Lots of love! ❤️
Hello dear friends. I bought a small air fryer a couple of years ago, sadly she now lives in my garage. You have inspired me Refika with your fine demonstration of how to use it correctly and will resurrect it back to my kitchen to begin again. I watch all of you videos and so enjoy the camaraderie of your team. You make the preparation of your food look so simple and your love for each ingredient shines in your eyes. Thank you for sharing your gifts and knowledge of the wider world with your viewers. Thank you in love, Margaret ❤
We LOVE your channel and we are about to buy an air fryer. I would love to see more videos with recipes and techniques for using the air fryer.
Hi Refika,
I could literally watch you read the phone book (yes I'm old enough to know what one of those is) and have to concur that my air fryer is a game changer. I have the oven-style.
Was watching the video on my iPad whilst test-driving my knife I just received on sale from your etsy store.
Fabulous and so sharp!!!
Was also pleasantly surprised to discover I didn't need to pay any extra duty - shipped to Austria🇦🇹.
Can highly recommend 😊😊😊❤
Me too!! Something about your cheer and humor, can’t wait for my weekly dose of Refika!
This woman Refika, who thinks she's Elon Musk of Turkey, is absolutely disgusting. She even use Ukrain war to sell products she gets payment for. If you had noticed, she's even changed the colour of her site to Ukraine flag. Not because she cares about Ukraine but she knows those two colours would bring money at the present. She studied marketing not gastronomy. She's not a chef. Turkey has so many chefs but Refia's not one of them.
Me too. I don’t feel lonely when I watch Refika ! Definition thinking of getting an air fryer for one 😮
Refika, I am a new devotée❤. You’re so smart and enjoyable to watch.I have already ordered your knife. ❤
I've never owned a microwave and have been thinking more about an air fryer.
Also, you're not wrong when you call the heating element a resistance. It's resisting the electricity going through it and turning it into heat :)
love from canada
xoxo
This was so helpful! I had no idea you could put enameled plates and bowls/pyrex in the air fryer! 😮
If it's labeled as safe for the broiler, it should be safe to use in an air fryer.
Cool right? Can it warm up my dam coffee ☕️ 😆
Thank you- I’ll definitely get my air fryer out more now. You are an excellent emissary for beautiful Turkey!! I also love your fabulous team. Keep up the good work.
Not sure if it’s available in your country but look out for a Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 you can do EVERYTHING in it (pressure and slow cook, steam, roast, sauté etc) including combinations like ‘steam air fry’ which ramps up the flavour and moisture in proteins and still crisps really well!
Please, use your brain. She's not a chef but a marketer. She's studied marketing not gastronomy, anyway. And doesn't give a flick about airfyer or cooking, just money and uses all the tricks and emotions to sell. At the present, Phillips has launched advertisement for Airfryers and sent many social media personalities exactly those 2 colours and the model. Actually, this model is pretty old. 10 years ago these type of airfryers were used. Air fryers have evolved so much now. These 2 are like from cave era. She's selling Phillips, this model, not an airfryer.
I am now using my second airfryer. My friend gladly accepted my first one which despite my using it lots still looked like new.
The Tower one has a rotisserie, a cast iron plate for steaks, and shelves for baking. You can cook two pizzas easily. Think my large oven just became obsolete. I use pressure cooker for soups and stews, and i am looking for a home for my microwave,because it takes up too much room in my tiny kitchen considering I often only use it to heat milk.😂😂
Wonder if i could use my airfryer to heat the milk to make yoghurt? It has a good temperature range.
I love you and all your helpers. I love your humour and your grasp of reality which lots of tv chefs seem to have lost.
Where I live in North London there are many Turkish and Cypriot people. They are my neighbours and friends. And have great shops with wonderful fruits,veg, and fresh meat. I am so lucky.
Thank you my dear.
Love from Lynne ❤xxx 😊
Countertop space is an issue but you are convincing me I may need to have an air fryer. I also do not microwave and am not a fan of non-stick cookwear. Good to know I am not alone. Thank you for this wonderful review.
Here in the US ,America's Test Kitchen recommends the Insta Vortex air frier. Their previous favorite was the Philips. I bought the Insta Vortex last year, and it performs quite well. Between it and my toaster oven, I almost never use my regular oven anymore.
You are a great chef who makes very complicated dishes a lot of the time, so if the air fryer impresses you, it must be good. I trust you. Been putting off getting one thinking it was just a fad, but will definitely get one thanks to you!!!!
Thank you, I have been kinda apprehensive in buying one and now I m definitely ready to buy one!!
I have avoided deep frying because of the mess I suspect I would make and I think I am convinced in adding an air fryer after your helpful video. Always a joy to discover and try your delicious recipes.
A practical airfryer pizza tip! I copied the drawer onto a piece of paper, then cut a copy out from one of the thin, cheap Ikea cutting boards - voila, a pizza template! When I’m making a pizza, I just pull out a ready made dough (leave paper on) and cut it with appr. 4 cm extra around the edge, then cut out a square at each corner, then fold the edges in 2 cm, so you have a double edge around the template, but not on the very corners. Use a fork to make holes all over the middle. Put the dough in the airfryer and bake 6 minutes at 195˚C. Now you have a prebaked pizza crust with edges that stand up perfectly, so you use the space in your airfryer drawer (or basket, depending on model) optimally and the bottom of your pizza will be beautifully done without overdone sides (because you prebake the sides covered by baking parchment. If you use homemade dough, just roll or spread it out on parchment and use it in the same way!
I purchased my Philips airfryer back in 2015. Very few people knew about it then! Unfortunately the first generation air fryer basket is tiny, so I have to make two-three rounds of everything. I used to fry manti (dumplings) as appetizers when friends came over. And also I regularly use it for making fresh crispy croutons for soups. I just toss stale bread cubes in olive oil and airfry - ready in 3 minutes, even before the soup heats up!
Refikacim, you are amazing❤. I wasn't sure about buying an airfryer for a long time then I asked myself why I don't watch your videos. This is the thing I needed in my kitchen, because I like eating healthy and cooking fast because I don't have time to cook for hours and then clean all the cups. I didn't know at all it can also kind of replace the microwave. I will just buy an airfryer as new year present to our home.
I like to say it's like the love child of an oven and a microwave. It has the texture of an oven with the speed of a microwave.💯
As someone who has never owned an air fryer this is very informative about what it can do. I have a friend who has one but is still learning about how to use it so I'll have to show her your video to get some ideas about how she can make more use out of it, especially as her oven is broken. Thank you for, as always, being thorough and honest in your tips!! ❤
Thank you too ❤️❤️
I'm an Airfryer enthusiast too. Been using it for more than 7 years...gave me a chuckle to see you love it too. It's great for cooking sausages straight from the freezer without adding any additional fat. I make my browned( caramelized)onion julliennes in it with just a tsp of oil instead of deep frying. Takes between 4 to 6 minutes....great for biryani topping.
Do you need to clean the heating element/grill after cooking fatty foods such as sausages, chicken etc? Because presumably the fat spits out everywhere...
@@c.marmion8430 actually I do give it a wipe .
My husband has just bought me one, I'm waiting for it to be delivered, so happy to have come across your tips for this, thank you, God bless, xxx
I love you, Refika, I truly do, but I had a bad experience after watching this video a year ago. I did buy a Philips air fryer, one of the higher-end available to me on Amazon in the US last summer. And I did try 3 different ways to cook in it before I sent it back...perhaps I got a lemon!
Meanwhile, I did a lot of research and found the Breville countertop convection oven. It has been a godsend! Where I live, last summer we experienced 133 days over 100 degrees F.
I've always been jealous of your convection oven in the videos!
You see, it takes nearly 30 minutes to preheat our oven to 400 degrees F. The Breville? Less than 4 minutes. And with the convection fan everything cooks quickly and cools down very quickly.
This summer has started out much less dastardly, but I'm leaning on the Breville and the good old standby, crockpot, to cook in order to keep our house cooler.
If you decide to look into the Breville, know that it is not made of plastic or Teflon.
Seriously, I really love you for all that you do to teach me and I hope you won't feel hurt by this comment! You are an especial treasure to all of us!
OMGeeee!!! I discovered your channel at 3 o’clock this morning, and all I can say is “Thank you TH-cam for this recommendation!” I LOVE watching you!! I could listen to you talk all day! I can’t wait to check out all the videos and your Etsy shop. You have a beautiful country and a beautiful personality. Thank you, thank you! Gotta go order an air fryer 😊(I love your kitty 🥰)
I have exactly the same black Philips one that is in the video, we use it multiple times everyday, best appliance we ever acquired and most used object in my kitchen.
Thanks for this video! Refika, my whole family and I love you. So happy to see you come out with an air fryer video. I bought one this past year and am still learning how to use it--would love to see more videos on air fryer cooking.
One more PRO's: Mobility: You can take with you , if you d travel much. It can be packed whenever you go. You can use as defrosting or foods that you might have brought from your home to the destination.
This is the first explanation of air fryers, I have heard... thank you! This was very helpful! I really enjoy your programs!!! Blessings and love from Wyoming, USA
Fish fingers or fillets, it takes just 12-15 minutes to fry frozen breaded fish fingers (make sure it's not minced fish) to make wonderful hot fish sandwiches with mayo, topped with a slice of cheese, lettuce, tomate and/or whatever else you like.
My first big cooking item in our air fryer was 2 meatloaves each were approximately 1 lb. of ground chuck then added ingredients. I had to turn them over 1/2 way through cooking bc the bottom didn't cook near as much as the top. It was moist and held together very well and seared the top very nicely! Cooking Time: 1 hour!
With an airfryer with two elements, you wouldn’t have that problem, no need for turning things, shaking veggies, potatoes etc… I love my 2 element one! 🤗
@@lottatroublemaker6130 what is the name brand of the 2 element one? Thanks for that tip. I may buy one.
Finally started using my air fryer after looking at it for two months. I love it! Very helpful video.
I never tried an airfryer because my mom had one that made the food taste like plastic. So when you said most have a teflon lining, I said, "AHA! That must be why!" Thanks for clearing it up...I can now look up devices WITHOUT teflon- and try!
My Cosoris has never made food taste plasticky, even if there’s a coating. Same with Philips. No problem and I’m very sensitive! Must have been something with the model your mom had… 🤗
@@lottatroublemaker6130 Thank you for the info!😃
I don’t have that problem. You can use squares of parchment paper to avoid putting food directly on non stick coating. Available online.
I ❤❤❤❤ REFIKA.....teaching me about an air fryer because I have been thinking what I should to buy for having no STOVE OR OVEN......
I use mine all the time too! It has a broiler, fryer, oven, dehydrator, broiler, so many options it is fantastic!
Good day! Can you please tell me which one to buy it? That sounds amazing 🤩 thank you
@Pamela does the Phillip come with dehydrator? Thanks
@@joken8028 I just checked so I am unsure but here is a description of one this one is 149.00 with a 10.00 coupon
@@BeingRefined thank you so much.
Boiling an egg in the air fryer! Rafika you are the absolute queen of air frying.
Hi, I know this video is some time ago, and since the electric on my oven broke down, I bought (partly because I remembered your enthusiasm on the subject :) a grill airfare (Ninja grill pro) So it has all the functions, airfare, grill, bake, reheat and dry..... Airfryer and grill and reheat I have tried and very satisfied, also steaks!!! But baking is harder because the heater is quite close to the product, so I will start on flatbreads....
BEST air fryer explanation video on the Internet. Thank YOU. I bought smallest one for just me thinking I don't want chips and crispy unhealthy "fried" foods. Now I see you making veggies and reheating rice and beans ( I don't use Microwave=Cancer Wave so this is fabulous to quickly heat and serve my food. Loved your ideas woohoo! 👋🏆
❓Q: TOST???? Can an air fryer make great TOST?
❓Q: Do YOU put oil directly touching bottom or you use a liner or pan when cooking vegetables and other items you mentioned??
Superb video Refika! Adding two cons - one is that I have the older model with the wire basket and I have to use a aluminium foil so that food does not stick in between the wires and becomes difficult to clean. Second one is that you cannot use it for very light foods like the Indian papad or popcorn because the high air flow makes it fly and stick to the upper coils.
You are right. Light foods is something we didn’t think of
Burak
get one of those metal wire racks and just place it over your light food. If its too small, like popcorns (I wouldn't do it in the airfryer anyways as the stovetop is quick enough) a mesh might work? I once made kale chips in mine and some of the leaves did blow up into the element... the ones that survived turned out great (for kale), but if I had known about the metal wire rack idea, it would probably have been better.
Wow, I did not know all these ways of cooking are possible. THanks for sharing! 💜
I decided, on a whim, to try making myself a single serving baked custard with supermarket custard and 1 egg in the airfryer, and it was absolutely divine, It was perfect. I added some golden syrup afterwards and it was a great success although I want to try putting the syrup in first and then adding the custard. I turned the heat down to about 90 C and just kept checking if the centre was still wobbly. I've also made a successful bread pudding, also on a lower heat and then turned the temperature up for the last few minutes to brown the top. I've also made baked custard in my rice cooker/steamer but I preferred the way it turned out in the air fryer. It's just a matter of experimenting with timing and temperature. Thanks for all your wonderful videos Refika, I love your channel and recommend you to all my friends who enjoy cooking, your recipes are mouth watering. (I read about the bomb in Istanbul today, it's very sad, I hope your friends and family were not impacted at all.) Sending you lots of good wishes from N Ireland 🍀
You're right, experimenting is the key! And thank you so much 🙏🙏
I have bunnies and they love dried apples and i buy them when they are available but now I’m super excited to air dry apples for them!
Hi Refika & team, thank you for this informative video! My 5-year old daughter and I enjoy watching your videos!
I've more pros to share here.
Both my 5yr old and I have made bread pudding and chocolate chip cookies with our Ninja air fryer.
We also use it to toast bread for breakfast.
As a mother it's easy for me to teach my 5yr old how to cook and prepare her own food independently. And of course my husband and/or I help her pick out the hot stuff when they're ready
Thank you once again and much love from Singapore 💜
That's one of the best life-skills you can teach a child - i.e how to Cook!
I wish my mother had done the same with me but the kitchen was her domain and I left home in my 20's with NO idea how to Cook. I'm still only learning many years later!
@@c.marmion8430 Thank you!
I totally relate when you've mentioned about the kitchen being your mother's domain, the same goes for mine too. I only get the chance to run my own kitchen at my own terms when we've moved out after 5years of staying with my parents.
@@nuradilalala You must really enjoy having your own space. I wish you (and your daughter) many many happy years of cooking together ❤️

For «searing» like you show, the new Cosori Dual blaze, with both upper- and underheating is PERFECT, no need for lifting the meat higher up! 🤗
Thank you Refika! I currently use mine to fry meat, toast bread, make wraps, cook fried foods that need defrosting ... but this just opened up a multitude of uses that I never thought possible! You're the best!!
Wonderful ,fun and I will try.!
Thank you. This is one of the best air fryer videos I've seen. Lots of Information and tips that will help me in my air fryer usage.
Thank you very much. I just got me an air fryer and thus still experimenting on how and what to cook in it.
thank you for the video. my daughter has been trying to help me in working out whether an air fryer is for me. and you have helped me decide to buy one. i live in toulouse, my daughter is in uk. i'm going for christmas and i'm going to study my daughters one. and you are fun.
I have a 7 in 1 Ninja Foodi I love it, u can pressure cook, steam, air fry, sautee, bake, sear and slow cook in one 6 liter machine. I can't live without it now
Dear Refika and all of the crew. Sending love and healing thoughts to you all after the devastation of Sunday night in Istanbul.
We have recently returned from there and our hearts are bleeding for Turkiye🇹🇷🇦🇺🇹🇷🇦🇺
Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I love my air fryer! It's the appliance I use the most now! So many uses, so easy to clean, so much quicker than other cooking appliances.
Definitely!!
Thank you Rafika for all the info you are such a professional, I can’t get enough of watching your videos ❤
Watching you from Brazil. Love your videos and receipts. Have been thinking of bying an air fryer, so this video helped me a lot....
Love, love, love my air fryer. Saves so much time cuz everything cooks faster than the oven. French fries are crispier than oven fries.
Refika and team, I hope all of you are safe on this very sad today. Sending love and healing from the US. I am so sorry for the attack on your streets. There is never any justification for such horrible violence.
Greetings from Singapore! I wake up every Sunday morning to you, Bahar and your team. I have the exact Philips airfryer as you! Would be wonderful if you can show us how you airfry vegetables. Mine tend to come out dry so I stopped airfrying vegetables and reverted to oven roasting. I also tried to airfry tofu but it changed the texture of the tofu. Please continue the great work!
Yes please show us the best way to do vegetables and tofu. That would be awesome!
Countertop space and cupboard space is limited in my kitchen. I also eat many vegetables and tofu so please teach a way to stir fry in the air fryer.
Refika, I hope you and all your loved ones are safe after today’s explosion in Istanbul❣️ 💓❤️💓
Best air fryer video!!!
Most informative video out there. Thanks
I'm using an Airfryer for over 5 years, even took mine when I started living abroad because they were not so popular in my new country. Was so happy with that choice.
Many people preheat the Airfryer but i think it's useless, they warm up so quickly just add a few seconds to it.
Yess exactly! Even if you need to preheat it, it doesn't even take 1 minute 👍
Hey awesome people
I totally love this video Again. Because I watced it when it came out last year. I now own one after soooo long😂it's so cool to use and suuuuper fast and all thanks to you guys who have shown me 💯💯
This gadget is so cool I bought two. One is the regular one, and one is more of an oven type one... I will make the meat in one and then the veggies in the other one. So easy! If you are scared, just keep checking your progress often, shake the food around... adjust the temp... till you get to know your stuff. The first thing we cooked was lamb pinwheel skewers. My sister-in-law tried to boil eggs on the stove at the same time. Before her eggs were even cooked, we were finished cooking our meat to crispy, juicy perfection.
It's great for grilling meats and veggies, just remember not to crowd things. I've done a pork belly ala Asian style and it was DIVINE... I grilled seekh kebabs and it is sooooo good - juicy inside, crispy outside... It is marvelous for fish, especially salmon. You get the most moist and juicy flaky fish, with a lovely crispy skin.
It's great for any breaded food like fish sticks or onion rings etc. You can even "deep fry" in it but you have to keep applying oil to the food, so those types of foods I'll just buy cooked/frozen and re-heat/re-crisp in the airfryer. I also love re-heating pizza in the airfryer.
What I find a bit silly is using it for baking as I don't like the odd looking rising end results. It will taste fine, but it looks weird. Just use the oven.
People on the group I've joined for airfryer recipes judge and criticize you for still using oil, or putting a container in there that stops the flow of air... I say oil makes it better tasting and drips off anyway. If you want to put a container in there and block the airflow, it still works - like magic!
Cleaning it is a bit of a pain, but I don't clean the element part, just the tray and the basket... It hasn't killed me yet so the splatters probably bake hard like a cast iron pan's coating does, and the food bits burn away during use.
I'm thinking of getting one, and was wondering about needing to clean the heating element/grill parts after cooking fatty foods. Thanks for letting me know that it's not necessary 🙂
Refika ,I made your falafel with your recipe’it turned out AMAZING-thank you
Thanks Rafika, have had air fryer 2 months and still not used it! Will give it a go now. Can you do some tutorials on how you use it? Especially the breads and pitta you showed. Hugs from Marie in Australia xo
Hi. I’m also new. Consider just cooking some frozen French fries just to get used to using it. Enjoy.
Very very good; love the way she explains!😊
Can you do a video on how to sharpen your knives? What do you use? How often do you sharpen your knives? Thank you!
Refika,
Liked the video and would love a few more videos on airfryer recipes. Looking forward to the souffle, meatballs and bread recipes.
Thank's for the nice presentation !! 🤗
I Love you! I'm an American Greek and living in the Panhandle of Florida. Thank you for showing us how to cook. My question is do you own an Instant Pot and how can we cook with it?
Fish is wonderful in the air fryer. If you dust it with flour, dip it in egg and then roll it in panko crumbs, about 4 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other it is perfectly cooked and very crunchy. Or just put the fish fillet in the air fryer by itself and cook for 4 minutes on one side and two on the other. It will be perfectly cooked and still very moist on the inside.
Airfryers are BRILLIANT for reheating fried foods. If you're careful, you can reheat leftover chips/fries to perfection. We had some takeaway gozleme and I reheated it in the airfryer and it was as fresh as when we bought it. ( I have the black Phillips one in the video.) Hi from Sydney Australia 👋
Thank you , I’m just learning the air fryer . It’s great for two person households .
Fantastic video! Perfect timing. Thank you for everything you covered. I’ve been thinking about getting one but wasn’t sure I would use it enough as I live alone, but you’ve shown me so many ways that I can use one so I’m going to get one very soon. Thank you again!
😘🙏 thank u 🙏
Awesome video👏👏👏👏! Now you can open a new section of TURKISH AIRFRIER RECIPES 😎👍
Interesting
I've Ben wondering if air fryer was a good thing for me.Spend time looking at numerous air fryer reviews.Still not sure. But... after viewing REFIKA the first 👑 of honesty I'll get one for sure.
Thanks Take care Everyone .
What a useful video...Thank you Refika,just subscribed,you are amazing!!!👋❤
Great explanation and recipes
What a lovely soul you indeed are Refika! With this video, I learned multiple usage of this kitchen aid.
Thank you so much. Kendine iyi bak Refika ve Bahar.
Hi Refika, you all there are so charismatic! I love your channel and I've been learning a lot! Thank you very much!
RE: Reheating. I love ribs but I hate trying to reheat leftover ribs in an oven, pan or microwave. Same goes for leftover pizza. The air fryer rocks my socks off with how well it reheats these two foods in particular! Fastest, crisp and just as tasty as when I first made them.
It is great for roasting nuts.
Ah super des recettes enfin traduite merci Refikas
A con for the Air fryer is accessibility, inserting anything runny, otherwise, I would not be without my Air-fryer. I would also recommend you have an Instant pot, even to discuss the pros and cons? Thank you for your series, here on TH-cam.
Thank you for For the interesting Information!! I am planning to buy one. 🌹🌹❤❤🇪🇸
Yes! I just got one, thank you for this! I'm so excited 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for this great video! I have been wondering whether it's worth it, you have convinced me. This video was not too long or boring! I love your videos!!
You never bore us, Refika. Thanks!!
