Air Fryers.....they are the real deal!!
« on: December 19, 2021, 07:19:55 PM »
I have owned one for a couple years now and have never used it.  Always thought.....psssst, air fryer...what a gimmick!  Well to my surprise, air fryers are absolutely amazing.  In the last week we have done broccoli chicken, chicken wings and low carb chicken nuggets from canned chicken.  All three have not only turned out great....but they have been amazing.  It is super easy and super fast. 

Anyone else use one?  Anything you cook in it that turns out amazing...please share. 

We use the ninja foodi pressure cooker / air fryer.  It works so well, I think I may purchase a stand alone air fryer that has more cooking surface for larger meals.

We have 2 a basket style which is excellent for cheese sticks/fries etc and one with racks that we cook meat stuff like burgers and etc on.
Both can do it all but one style does certain things a little better than the other and vice versa

They are pretty cool for sure and work well.

We use ours often. Air fried veggies are great, fish and chips, potatoes but the secret weapon is cookies. Woah buddy

Watching this. We have one, collecting dust.

Ours was used for a rice cooker exclusively (the pressure cooker part) until this week.  The chicken wings went from frozen to crisp in less than 12 minutes.  When we cook them in the oven they never crisp like that.  Tossed them in sauce and had wings that Buffalo Wild Wings would be proud to serve.  Tonight we sliced chicken, cut up broccoli florets and seasoned with chinese seasoning.....though it in the air fryer for 10 minutes, stirred it and ran it for an aditional 3 minutes and dinner was served.  Chicken was moist and delicious. 

You really need to try yours....I was super impressed, surprised and pissed that I didn't learn to use it till now.   :chuckle:

:yeah:
Same here but no cookies we don't do sweets. I do fish once a week, my wife does her toast every morning. Skillet's cod from two weeks ago, light breadcrumbs and go. Also good for heating up leftover ribs (if any).

I’d own one if all I ever used it for was potato’s. Frozen fries, jo Jo’s, wedges, you name it they are good. Still learning recipes, but definitely worth having

I find coating things like potatoes, taquitos, egg rolls, wontons etc with a bit of the spay olive oil really helps crisp things up and add flavor.

A full baked potato is really really good.

We’ve had one for a year now. My wife wanted one for Christmas last year so I bought her the instant pot brand one with the rotisserie inside. She’s used it about 750 times it seems and loves it. Her company just gave everyone who works there the Ninja Foodi grill with the air fryer so now I guess we have 2. We love them.

  Us too, steaks, frozen burger patties, hot dogs, frozen corn dogs, chicken all turn out great. Will have to try some veggies and baked potatoes

Havent done anything in ours that didnt turn out great. Any of those frozen processed foods turn out great and crispy with a quickness. Like corn dogs, hash brown patties, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, fries, etc.
However my absolute favorite that we have used it for so far is whole cornish game hens. So juicy and easy. Just a faint slime over it of olive oil and seasonings to taste. There is never anything left besides a tiny pile of bones.

It works really nice for a family having 2. The only time they don’t do well is over loaded. With 2 you can make a family meal pretty easy in just the air fryer. Like fries in one and burgers in the other. So the burgers don’t get the fries soggy.

We love our air fryer.  We used to have a deep fryer for fries, chicken nuggets, etc....  Got rid of that and use the air fryer now, so healthier and makes the food taste great.  Makes warmed up pizza taste great too.  :tup:
