    When those bread rolls came out i thought, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
  • @Souchirouu
    I wish stuff like this existed when I was a student. I had a small rice cooker, which was amazing as a student, but that in combination with a airfryer would be god tier for a low budget or anyone limited in space.
  • @justadrum
    Really like the honesty, hate when people cook and everything is "wow, that's amazing"...no it's not. Letting us know how you could have made it better helps us avoid the same mistakes; much appreciated!

    Just a random tip that I use with wings in my air fryer. I stand them on their tips and support them with each other. This gives an easy way to fully crisp the whole wing without needing to flip them.
  • Key to air fry is if you want anything less dry inside. It needs to be 90% cooked on a low temp and then last 10% cooking time should be at max temp to achieve that Gold tone of deep fryer. And don't forget the preheat 3 min max temp or add 3-5 min more to your recipes required time if you too lazy to pre heat.

    I'm in awe. A close friend bought me an air fryer today as a late birthday gift. I'd heard they really shine with meat. The first thing I cooked was ribeye steak with stuffed mushroom, and I just guessed on the timings and temperatures. I usually like my steak rare, but it came out medium/well done, I kind of expected that seeing as it was all guess work. But MY GOD. I have never had a medium/well done steak have such golden and crispy fat, yet retain such juiciness and flavour. The first ever thing I cooked in this new air fryer fucking sold me completely! I've just finished a beautifully seasoned chicken breast, and yet again it was pure juiciness and flavour. I'm beginning to feel like this is the best birthday gift I have ever received!

    In Thailand "Sundried Beef" isn't completely dried, and it needs to be cooked after the drying in the sun. It is usually fried with garlic, it creates that juicy chew and meaty flavor. It looks like you made something really close to nuea daed diew (เนื้อแดดเดียว beef, one sun), and I'm very excited to try it

    I find when baking dough items, such as tarts or rolls, belay the egg wash/brushed butter until halfway through baking time. This allows the dough to bake without over browning.
  • my wife took the kids but I have the air fryer so it's all good
  • @KarenGravatt
    Thank you so much! I’m late to the game with air fryer too. I just didn’t think I needed another gadget but I love it !
  • @YoMama9021
    Okay. I’m getting this for my birthday. I’m officially hooked. I want the same exact size and model.
  • @davidtam1518
    For the jerky, I would recommend freezing your beef before cutting it. That'll make getting super thin slices WAY easier.
  • @irennerz5945
    Quick Tip for slicing any meat thinly: Take refrigerator temperature meat and place it on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until it just starts to freeze. You want it cold and very firm with some ice crystals starting to form, but not so frozen that a sharp chef's knife won't go through it. With a little practice and patience, you can then slice amazingly thin slices. If it starts to get too warm and loose, return it the the freezer for 10 minutes and then continue.
  • @jenblob1065
    Amazing, tks so much for the great upload, tips and testing! I'm certainly convinced it's just what I need!
  • Thank you! I just used mine for the first time yesterday!! I’m excited to cook more!
