  • @_SurferGeek_
    @_SurferGeek_ 4 місяці тому +40

    Little known fact: The fan in a basket / bucket style air fryer *pulls* the air *up* and it flows *down the sides* and under the food and back up. This is why you need to make sure you don't block the air holes... definitely along the sides.
    The browning on the top of the foods comes from radiant heat from the coils, not the airflow.

    • @Taolan8472
      @Taolan8472 4 місяці тому +10

      yep.
      you can bake the whole pie if you shape the pie to leave at least a half inch gap around the sides, put it on the rack so its not resting on the bottom of the bucket, and use some foil as a frame to hold the pie upright.
      he's honestly lucky that pie cooked through

    A few days ago I was in WA state near Seattle, today I am in South Carolina, near Charleston. I never thought of using the bottom of my air fryer to cook sauces and I loved the cheesy cauliflower. I have a dual Ninja so I can cook different things at different times which is great. I just used parchment boats to bake hemp seed, oatmeal, and nut bars which I cut in squares to make "cookies." I've been cooking for over 65 years and when the dried spaghetti didn't fit in the pot, I took a little at a time and broke it in half. I'm sure you were "funning" with us when you used the scissors. You have some great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

    I have gone big oven and cooker free for over 10 years now. I use my Convection oven/air fryer, microwave and pressure cooker for all my meal needs. I have made all those recipes (except the cookies) in my convection oven which is bigger than all the air fryers. You featured the round glass convection oven I use in a prior video.
    I save power and time, as all of the equipment has timers. I haven't burn or overcooked a meal in years. I'm from Australia and love watching you enjoy what you make in your air fryer.

      I always do this, I know it makes people mad but it means I can get away with using a smaller pot and I don't have to fuss with it at all to get it all submerged. I don't find the eating experience significantly different. If anything it's slightly more convenient since the noodles are shorter and it's easier to get a forkful of them.

    Thanks for doing more of these, Barry! I'm still living that dorm life so this helps a lot. :) I find that with some baked goods, you do need to flip them over, like those cookies. I did cinnamon rolls in ramekins and halfway through, I had to remove them from the ramekins and flip them so the bottom half wasn't doughy.

    Watching from the West Coast of Canada (which you need to visit one day, there are some great restaurants over here) and Iove the air fryer videos. The one thing I tried recently was making frozen gyoza in the air fryer, which usually just crisps them up. However, I wanted them with more like they come out when you steam and pan fry them so parts are soft and others are crispy. I just preheated it with some water under the basket and put the gyoza in after tossing it in some sesame oil. About 10 minutes later they came out pretty darn good.
    On the topic of gyoza I also one scratch made pizza gyoza (filling of cheese, pepperoni, bacon, garlic, and a bit of tomato paste to bind it all) and I cooked those in the air fryer as well.
