    Regarding getting food out of the air fryer and the grill falling out, there's a simple technique using a fork, just slide the fork's teeth in one of the outer holes of the grill and lift it using the fork as a lever. It's super easy, only use a single fork so no extra dirty dishes, and prevent pouring out the oils and fats at the same time.

    When I was a kid, we sometimes had a bonfire in my grandmas garden. To bake our potatoes, huge, thick nails were driven through the middle of the them, then they were wrapped in tin foil and thrown into the fire. The nails acted as heat conductors and the potatoes were cooked through faster and more evenly.
    Of course you can also use a normal iron skewer, too!

    I did a Thai cooking course a few years ago. The teacher taught us to top and tail peppers, you can then pop the stalk out of the top. Then you cut around the white membrane bits in the middle so that all of the seeds drop out with the core. You can then chop the pepper (and the top and tail) into strips - zero waste!!

    My suggestion for new air fryer, get a stainless steel tray that fits your fryer, one with a grid, and cook your food in the steel tray instead of the fryer tray. Not only you can throw it into the dishwasher and have several clean trays ready to be used, but also it will extend your fryer life by YEARS, as a fryer lasts only what it takes for its tray to rust/degrade by the food and cleaning.

    • @js3901

      Or you can get parchment or silicone liners you can put in the airfryer, just like lining a sheet pan in the oven. Saves the basket, and either dispose the parchment or wash the silicone...

    • @xeracorocks

      ​@@js3901 PFOAs on high temperature mixing with the boiling liquids of my chicken thigh? No thanks. Stainless steel is way more durable, less reactive, easy to clean, and specially, HEAT CONDUCTIVE. There's a reason why the inside of an air fryer is made of metal, if it was made of silicone, it would take way longer for your food to be ready, and in an air fryer means dry chicken before you can put any colour on its skin. Also a liner does not have any tray or anything that elevates the food over the bottom, so air can also get to the lower part of the food, and it does not just boil at 100ºC instead of get a nice browning.

    I just done honey roasted parsnips with carrots last night, 200C, ~20 minutes
    Make sure to make them small bites so they cook through and get all soft, it was so goooood
    If you have a silicone tray insert, I suggest that, put your pasnips and carrots in, get a spatula and some oil, mix them around. Salt and pepper then drizzle some honey on it, throw it into the air fryer, every now and again shuffle them about to mix more of that honey over them and yea. Eventually they'll brown up and become soft, it's genuinely so nice

    Microwave the baked potato for 5 minutes then air fry it for about 10 to 15 minutes if you want to save time.

    That's not a grilled cheese, that's a grilled crouton lol. Nothing beats my vintage 70's sandwich maker for a grilled cheese, even makes a great grilled reuben.
    My potato preference is baby Dutch Yellow potatoes, oven baked at 425 F, on a sheet pan greased with coconut oil, and sprinkled liberally with spices about halfway through cooking. Feeling fancy? Smash them when they're done, sprinkle with parmesan, heat to melt cheese, flip, and cook until crispy. Do both sides, may work with other cheeses, IDK.
    I enjoyed this. I always appreciate when people teach cooking methods versus recipes. This video teaches how to cook vs. how to make a specific dish, empowering watchers to make their own creations.

    Hi Barry can I suggest baking potato nails rather than a fork for baked potatoes. They'd food grade & more evenly conduct heat end to end all the way through rather than the heat getting concentrated in one spot with a fork. It does shave off a small amount of time & allows the center to cook beautiful & fluffy without having to cook them so long the skin gets leathery. This is especially helpful for large baking potatoes like russets

    If you don't want to play about with air fryers and just want a really good one you'll have for years. The ninja Flexi drawer is brilliant. Instead of it having two drawers it's got one big one you can divide. It's soo good I don't use my oven any more. Having one massive drawer makes the difference compared to these ones with small drawers. I have a big metal pan I put in the drawer and when heated up you can actually fry stuff in it yet keep the drawer clean too. Plus it goes to 240c rather than the cheaper ones that only go to 200

Honestly, whether you're working with an InstantPot, an air fryer, or even your own hob, it is all about learning the way of cooking that works. Every piece of equipment is going to work differently, even within a group (like air fryers, hobs, etc.), and you've simply got to learn the one you've got.

    We love our Cosori 5.8 qt Air Fryer. It is absolutely fabulous for chicken breasts (great to use chopped for salad), as you noted, but also a full roast chicken, too. Grilled cheese sandwiches with an addition of deli meat is as wonderful as plain grilled cheese, everything gets hot and lovely. An open sandwich with a thicker bread roll is also fab from the air fryer, just close it up after cooking to have the crunchy fluffy roll with melty hot inside. We do potato wedges and yam fries. For the frozen tater tots, the air fryer gets a much more wonderful crispness with fluffy inside better than the oven and faster. We like the air fryer for re-heating left-over pizza so much more than the microwave. I love my bagels from the air fryer, 380F for 3 mins for the perfect outside toasting with inside chewy fluffy. We finally got our air fryer last November and use it at least once a day. We both wonder why we didn't get it sooner. It has replaced a toaster oven and conventional toaster and we've considered getting a second for the times when you want to cook more than one thing, like for a bigger dinner where you want to have more than one oven going.

    I was an early adopter. We are on our 3rd air fryer at this point, so I know quite a bit about them. Got a nice Ninja dual one this time around and it's been the best one. Only downside is there are 2 baskets, so you can't cook like a whole chicken, but Cornish game hens fit great 👍 I only do my bacon in there. Some things like reheating pizza slices you want to do it at a lower temp for a bit longer and get the cheese melts and not brown and crispy. Chicken breast, pork chops work great but I personally don't do anything like steak because I like it seared, but you can use it to finish the steak off, if it's thick, instead of heating up your oven. Can do quite a bit. Fries are okay in there, but you have to add some oil. I keep a bottle of olive oil in a sprayer for that. People say you can just throw in frozen fries but you need some oil. Without oil they usually end up pretty dry. Last one I use all the time is for baked potatoes. You can cook the whole thing in there but can take 45 mins to an hour or what I do now, start it in the microwave and then use the air fryer to finish the outside and make it crispy 👍😁

    Even before I got my air fryers I would microwave the potatoes for about 5-6 minutes per side, then oil and season with salt and pepper and then crisped them up in a very hot oven, now I do the same with my air fryer, tastes just as good as fully cooking them in the oven but is way faster ❤❤

      I've cooked Marie Calenders big pot pies that way. I'd cook it 2/3 of the way in the microwave & then pop it into a hot oven. Cuts down on so much time.
      But I do confirm it gets hot enough with a food thermometer.
      That was my best cooking purchase ever. Now I don't over cook my meat like my mom did. Although that was because she wanted her grilled burger more done than me. She even sent my cousin out to cook hers more once.

My parents have method too which involves the air fryer and microwave which comes out good as well 10-12 mins in the microwave to cook the potato then finish it off in the air fryer to crisp up for i think 20-25mins.

    The air fryer really needs the rack in it to help the air circulate around the food or it will cook unevenly… like with your onions. Also, don’t use frylite on anything non-stick. It contains lecithin which sticks to the non stick coating, causing you to have to clean harder and wear away the non stick.

    Variation of the baked potato with fork I've heard of here is "naulaperuna"; aka nailpotato, which is potato baked with ~6 inch nail in it. Pretty much same idea; bash some metal inside the potato to transfer heat faster.
    Frankly I'm not too eager to try them out though, modern nails are finished with zinc (the grey coat that kinda flakes off if you scratch the nail), which while not bad as lead still isn't something you should eat... guess the "recipe" comes from 60s when nails were proper all-iron nails.

The difference is that the eggs practically jump out of the shell every single time. It's like magic. And as for the air frier, it can make beans taste like chips. Just season them with garlic salt, air fry, done, healthy and delicious.
