Mel, being a single guy , working nites 14 hours , you're my hero!!! I always watch u to see what I'm doing!!!👍 I actually cook all my meals a week in advance on Sunday for my week!!! It works!!! I love my Air Fryer!!?
Hi Melanie. This worked perfectly. The tip of checking at 4:00 min. was great, as was the suggestion to use scissors. The best tip was your use of the air fryer. I had thought it strange my air fryer didn't have a pause function. I watched you just open it up without stopping and now I have the "pause" function I need. Thanks so much!
Twice I have prepared air fryer pizza, and both times, the pizza came out looking burnt. However, the pizza still came out crispy and tasty. I had no issues with pizza toppings flying off. I used Red Baron Deep Dish pepperoni pizza. Good job and good inspiration as always, Melanie!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes UPDATE: I air fried two small DiGiorno pizzas at 310 degress Fahrenheit recently, and they didn't come out burnt-looking! The key is low temperature cooking to avoid burnt-looking pizza. Thanks again, though, Melanie!
My first time cooking pizza in my ninja air fryer/ 7 in 1. Turned out great! I'm glad I found your video. Stopping at 4 minutes also allowed me to add fresh toppings because as you know frozen pizza can always use some help. I added pepperoni and more cheese. I'm gluten free so I haven't been able to find small pizzas. I just cut up a bigger one and fit a few slices in. Living in Texas I hate using the oven. Now I know I can make pizza. Now I just have to learn to bake in it. Lol
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! For baking, check out my videos for air fryer cake amzn.to/41NuwkA and air fryer muffins ua-cam.com/video/d8uVad8Yld0/v-deo.html
Tried this in an Instant Vortex Plus dt 375 for 4 minutes, the frozen pizza toppings were completely burnt and the crust was slightly burnt but the bottom side was a bit cold. I'm thinking 355 for 5 minutes. My guess is that this video was fcr a very specific pizza
Wondering if placing a round air fryer grill mesh mat on a trivet over the pizza would divert enough of the forced air as to not disturb the toppings as much.
Hi, Melanie! I have an update. I air fried a frozen pepperoni pizza in an oven-type air fryer at 350F for 10 minutes. I put it on the top rack. The pizza came out cooked well with none of the toppings flying off or looking burnt. So for something like frozen pizza, I recommend you try frozen pizzas in air fryer ovens rather than basket air fryers. Even still, thank you for all of your air frying videos, Melanie!
I air-fried two of these pizza's which turned out really good. I also buy those Totino's Pizza's from Walmart. You know the rectangular ones. What temperature and cooking time to get those air-fried right?
Do not use an aerosol spray in the air fryer if you're going to use the spray use one with the pump on it or wipe it with an avocado oil or corn oil or light olive oil but do not use aerosol spray it starts to gum up
Thank you for the scissors tip. I didn't have a fancy kitchen scissor laying around so I used my child's safety scissors instead. It wasn't a very "safe" scissor as the grease from the pizza had my slice slip and so there was the added taste of blood on my burnt dollar store frozen pizza. Luckily, I had some box wine laying around to really compliment my misery. I mean, my meal.
@@dracojdh sorry it didn't work for you! Air fryers differ, so probably mine runs hotter then yours. Please try adding an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thank you very much , I don't like a white (or not well-done) as a pizza maker I always told my staff to control the bottom of pizza cos it make a big difference to taste !
No kidding. I especially love your veggies. Frozen vegetables are sometimes healthier than fresh as it is usually frozen directly after picking. When I had to change my diet for health reasons I did alot of research. I love roasted vegetables. I plan on checking out many more of your videos on that! So much simpler in the air fryer than heating up my oven in Texas. Thanks bunches.
I bought a Quest pizza, and I only have an oven stryle air fryer. I plan on cooking in my air fryer, and want to know if I use the bake or air fry setting
I always use the default setting which is air fry. For the oven style, you can try the bake setting, I think that one will cook for evenly without burning the cheese
I’ve been using it for years and my air fryer is still ok. If you’d rather not use the spray, you can brush the bottom of the basket with vegetable oil
Thank you for subscribing and for the suggestion! The only desserts I have in the air fryer so far are s'mores ua-cam.com/video/QGwpSn4gjUM/v-deo.html and baked apples ua-cam.com/video/d-JNsRnGQgI/v-deo.html I'll try to come up with more in the future! 🤗🤗
Hi Melanie I’m for sure going try cook a pizza in my air fryer and never heard using scissors to cut a pizza but I’m for sure going try it. But I agree with another post On here please show us how cook hash browns in an air fryer ☺️
100% mine burnt bc its most likely thinner but also my air fryer is diff but it wasnt burt to the point where it was uneatable i ate it and it was still great video helped alot
Melanie can I use a Reynolds Kitchen Oven Bag In a Roaster Oven, I have never use one before. I want to to use it for 21- pound Turkey. First time. 😬🤔😫😖 in a bag. ☹️. Help if you can. 😘🤗
I never tried it, but I'm guessing you can - since you can use it in regular oven, so why not in roaster oven. The only way I ever made turkey is in regular oven, in a brown paper bag: www.melaniecooks.com/best-thanksgiving-roast-turkey-recipe-in-a-brown-paper-bag-easy-no-basting/2500/
I already have it :) Air fryer pita pizza: ua-cam.com/video/2J-IsPLJaXA/v-deo.html and air fryer tortilla pizza: ua-cam.com/video/6K2ldyYigBM/v-deo.html ENJOY!
Next time please try preheating the air fryer for 4 minutes before putting the pizza in, and reduce the cooking time by 2 minutes. Someone told me it helped with soft bottom issue.
You are welcome! If the topping blow away in your air fryer, next time open the air fryer halfway through the cooking time and put the topping back and press them down (so they get glued to the cheese), then let it finish cooking
Sorry it didn't work. Air fryers differ, so please try this next time: decrease the temperature by 20F and preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes before putting in the pizza.
Sorry it didn’t work for you. Air fryers differ, your air fryer must run much hotter then mine. Next time please try 270F and check on it frequently so it doesn’t burn
Melanie is my second mom. I frequent her videos every other day now trying something new in my new air fryer. Thank you MOM!

Spraying the crust makes the pizza taste so much better trick too.
Regular tomato sauce on the toppings helps too.

Not sure, I don't have the mesh mat, but if you have one it's definitely worth a try :)
Used your recipe for air fried chicken 🐔 thighs , drumsticks , they came out yummy thanks for sharing

Was the bottom browned?
Yes, it was browned and crispy! 🍕😋

I’d keep both for now and check back in a few months to see if you are still using the toaster oven :) Don’t get rid of it unless it has no use
@@MelanieCooksRecipes actually my toaster oven have a convection fan in it. I'll pitch my tiny air fryer. Haven't used it in months. Thanks!!

Melanie, greetings from London UK. I can't figure out your accent. It doesn't sound like a regular US accent. Boston maybe?
The accent is Russian with a mix of Chicago :)
Hi how was bottom of the pizza ? Was it brown or white?
Pretty white. If you want it to be more brown, preheat the air fryer for 5 min at 400 before adding pizza.
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thank you very much , I don't like a white (or not well-done)
as a pizza maker I always told my staff to control the bottom of pizza cos it make a big difference to taste !
Looks delicious 😋
Thank you 😋

All I do is wash the basket in warm water with dish soap. No other maintenance :)
I have a digital air fryer with presettings like chicken roast etc So you don’t have to push the pizza option button?
I'm sure those presets work just fine, I just don't like to use them. I always use the manual option so I have a better control of time and temp 🤗

Pizza in air fryer always come out with a doughy base not crisp like in a proper oven
Seems like pepperoni burnt. So it means 400 degrees too much.
I don’t mind, it’s still delicious 😋 You can do 380F temperature so it doesn’t burn so easily
I use disposable pizza cutters
I had to look them up, i didn't even know disposable pizza cutters even existed 😂

Girl after my own heart, I always use scizzors.
Lol great minds think alike!
Mime came out burnt on the top soft on the bottom
Mine too lol shit was still pretty good tho

Nice I’m glad the didn’t follow the box would been blunt lol
🤗
its good but i do not like how the crust gets so soft.
In my air fryer the crust turns out crispy! Air fryers differ, probably yours doesn’t circulate the air as well to crisp the bottom
You touched all the pizza parts hahaha
lol 🤣
my pizza does not come out crispy on the bottom
Please try preheating your air fryer at 400F for 5 minutes before adding the pizza, it might help
Mine 400° at 8 minutes burnt 😭
Sorry it burnt. Next time try it at 380F. Once you figure out the correct temp for your air fryer, it will be great 🤗
Thank you 👍 great video but my Tappings blew Away..
You are welcome! If the topping blow away in your air fryer, next time open the air fryer halfway through the cooking time and put the topping back and press them down (so they get glued to the cheese), then let it finish cooking
Thanks for the advice 👍
Bake ?!
I use a default setting which is air fry, but Bake will work too
There has to be something really wrong with someone who slices pizza with scissors. 😂
Lol nothing wrong, I’m just lazy and seek shortcuts 🤣
Cutting pizza with scissors. It works great and I've done it for years. Know many others who have always done it, as well.
that’s how it’s done in italy
Took forever to cut with the scissors I will stick to an actual pizza cutter.
It’s nice to have options and use whichever one you prefer 😀
I use scissors to cut spaghetti noodles a couple times after cooking, just so you don't get those long schurpy dogs.
Great idea!
Why not just put toothpicks in the center of the pepperoni First?
Lol I never thought of this before :)
So what did you actually cook??
Pizza 🤣 From frozen to cooked!
Don't be a jackass.
How many qrt is your air fryer?
4 quarts
Mine turned out with uncooked dough and burnt cheese after 20 minutes
