  • I will take method number 1 thank you very much! I simply don't have the patience to keep popping them into the fridge and spend a whole evening making fries
  • @MrPerez333
    I think time is also important, not a lot of people will be frying those for 25 minutes, + 30 minutes in water + 30 minutes in the fridge so a 7 for a single fry might be better than a 7.5 if it takes 1hour more
  • @dookiemane
    Ahhh a man of culture. When ur single its easier to just air fry smaller portions of food so I am an avid air fryer user. Keep em coming. The way you make your wings is pretty spot on to how I've been making mine for years
  • @futildesign
    Quick tip for drying the potato. Just pop-in the air fryer for 5min at 100F. The air flow will do the job.
  • @BlazeShorts820
    I got the Cosori on black Friday last year and it's been great. So easy to use and clean. I might look into the chop cutter device though.
  • I watched a BUNCH of your vids and then bought the exact Cosori. It's a game changer! Not put the main oven on for WEEKS. Thank you for your content. It's excellent.

    I am so pleased that I finally bought an air fryer - and especially pleased that I paid attention to the positive reviews of other users, and decided on this one youtube.com/post/UgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00q… . It is just perfect for the two of us, and takes up very little space on my small countertop. I roasted salmon filets for dinner tonight and they were the best ever - slightly crispy on the outside but moist inside. Best of all, no smelly kitchen or difficult clean-up. My only complaint would be the lack of even a few printed recipes to get started. My generation does not find it easy to access the QR code and use the smart phone app. I bought a recipe book instead, which gave me the confidence to experiment.

    i LOVE how into the potato cutter you are! BADASS! I've been thinking of getting one, but chips using the Mandolin are freaking awesome!
  • @bookey1104
    My air fryer has a rotating mesh basket for cooking french fries...GAME CHANGER! Highly recommend!
  • @DenverWilliam
    Delicious!!!! MMMM. Thanks for the video! If you were to freeze your par boiled fries completely, while uncovered, when they hit a preheated fryer, they will have way more pockets on the outside of the fry, like those bubbles that add so much more crispiness, plus, they wont fall apart as easily.
  • One characteristic of french fries was omitted: internal texture. The very first french fries I ever made in my air frier were very thin, and while they were crispy as all get out, they were more like shoestring potatoes (like chips). Later, I made “steak fries” by cutting them thickly, par boiling and drying them. I cooled them and sprayed them with oil, and those turned out the best because the inside of the fry was fluffy and wonderful.
  • @RC-the-OG
    I have been doing the thicker half inch cut, par-boiled in baking soda for 7 mins and using the French fry button on my Cosori for a minute now. I usually add another 3-5 minutes depending how many fries I put in the basket. Its the best method I've found so far but I will have to try the double fry method and compare. I don't like to par-boil them for a long time because they are too hard to manage afterwards and don't think it makes a huge difference with crispiness or taste.
  • @BrLa247
    You should make a video about freeze drying foods for travel or prepping. It’s a way to preserve for long periods of time and I know quite a few people who’d be interested in seeing what you think about it. I saw a video in the past where a guy freeze dried foods and ground them into powders which he used in his foods for many years.
  • @KieWalk
    I done that first method as my first try with fries/chips on the air fryer and they were sooo good, thank you.
  • @nahoga
    The second try of the Heston technique looked PHENOMENAL!!!
  • @theorulez
    I loved that fry dipping sauce you made. I usually just mix up whatever is in the fridge and it comes out alright. Good to see there can be a true 'method to the madness'. Keep up the great videos!
  • @tamihill4229
    So glad your making video again. I really miss ed your cooking
  • @GaryGeat28
    The Cosori air fryer is amazing! I bought the same model and I use it all the time.
  • @mywayforum
    Tbh it seems the best way to do is the single fried ones. You have them faster on your plate, you do not have to do a lot around them, less cleaning and there seems to be to small of a difference in comparison. Great informative video :)
