I like how you don't mind experimenting and even messing up on your videos and then admitting when you do. Most cooking channels act like everything they make is the best thing they've ever smelled and tasted which doesn't help us that are watching to learn.
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 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . 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 honest this video is. not pretending everything is amazing.
I recently learned to put the whole egg without cracking it into the airfryer to make hard boiled egg and also soft boiled egg, they are always perfect. For soft boiled egg, I set 300F 9 min, hard boiled egg, 300F 11 min
Or boil for 3 mins on the stove 🤣
@@F-J. I prefer the air fryer. I typically make several things at once on the air fryer so less cleanup than using several pots and pans. :)
Felicity Joy it takes forever to boil water and takes 10-15 minutes to hard boil an egg. It would be awesome I could do it in 3
Whole eggs? Shell and all?!
Do you place the eggs directly into the fryer or place it in a small bowl (or plate)?
this is now week 2 of isolation in germany. I have gained 7 pounds and been drunk every day since last friday
Haha! same same!!
😕
Perfection 👌😎
So muss das
Damn ur doin it right! Cheers! Oh wait no beer 😢
Am I the only one who doesn't know what this "Leftover" fries is? How do you have leftover fries?
hahaha so true
if thats a genuine question, it's fries from the day before, you bought it, a day passed and they're kinda soggy. put it in the air frier it seems like they're new. was that it?
@@paulamachado5571 I think the question was "how would you possibly have any fries that you didn't eat?"
After fish and chip day it's often 'Chippie-Tata' day for us. Make a fritatta or a Spanish omelette with the leftover chips. Yum. But yeah, I was an early adopter of the air-fryer will never be without again. Leftover chips, reheated chicken from the CFK place (ha!) it's always nearly always better the next day.
Give yourself no choice. Order more fries than is physically possible to consume.
Boom, leftover fries.
This hurts to watch a year later. How hopeful we all were that covid was just going to pass without issues 🥺🥺 the hot lava jelly part had me cracking up
🤣 🤣 🤣 😭😭😫😫😫
More than 1.5 years later and Germany was just hit by 4th wave.... so I now ordered an airfryer, finally lol.
@@SweetThuy lol me too! I'm in Germany as well and it sucks a lot that a lot of activities are being restricted again
Here in Texas life's been back to more or less normal since 5/2020 🤷♂️ enjoy life!
@@gtrpryde God bless Texas!
That feeling, watching this at the end of 2021 and wondering if I missed out on trying to up my cooking game simply cause I work in an essential service and never actually quarantined because pharmacy can't shut down.... wondering if I can find time to binge watch all these videos and try to up my game on weekends 🤔
Same here, Samantha. So many feelings as I watch... and Mike has inspired me to incrementally up my game when I have time to get into the kitchen. Keep watching, he's great!
Same with me no free money just worked over time, then got layed off at the end of year.!
You're not alone! I've wondered the same thing, specially after talking to friends and hearing how they finally had time to do this thing or that. Whenever they start talking about how it was "in quarantine" I have to just kind of stand there and bite my tongue while nodding politely. I don't want to seem like I don't care, but the truth is I can't relate to their experience at all.
Oh well. Hang in there my fellow pharmacy worker!
Same thing here !!!
Since my city shut down I have made wings in my air fryer, falafel, sausages and your Milk Bread recipe. My kids are having a blast and i have spent some amazing time in the kitchen feeding my family. Be safe and thanks for all the content!
amazing, love to hear that
How did you make the falafel?
@@Lisse... Also interested to know this.
@@ProHomeCooks It seems like the dishes you added spray/oil to came out under or over cooked.
This channel should seize the current moment and make the old "10 quarantine recipes" type videos from brothers green days
I get the feeling the Brothers Green days are over because it seems like they had a disagreement on the direction to take the channel or some other reason to part ways (marriage?). Sadly, they definitely did better together than after they split apart, but those styles of videos are probably never gonna come back. :(
Harsh Jha Yes, its the best time for Americans to play Bree Vandercamp
anonymous bosch huh?
for the quiche how about trying to use a smaller pie pan that can fit inside the tray with space for the air to go around
100%, I think he learned his lesson about covering the entire bottom of the tray in later videos.
Or just par bake it better
Dude, you and your brother got me into chefin up in the kitchen when I was like 17-18 and it honestly changed the way I see food.
Here’s a cheese sauce hack I figured out while backpacking and had leftover cheese on the last night. Use instant mash potatoes to make a very runny mash potato then mix your cheese in. It gives the cheese a nice binder, and you can’t taste the potatoes. Backcountry Fondue! (Or dorm room?)
I don’t even like cheese sauces but this sounds amazing !
Seems to be the same principles as putting starch in the liquid like Wizkid490 said. Those potato flakes have starch in them.
Reminder that if you don’t have powdered sugar you can make it in a food processor or coffee grinder, or maybe even just a blender
Or mortar & pestle!
So if you use the ring mold idea for the quiche (albeit slightly larger) so there is room for the air to have that convection oven goodness, your quiche should bake on the bottom. Good luck!
I just discovered your channel looking for air fryer recipes. Love it. I’m a “domestic chef” and cook daily, I can’t wait to try your recipes with my mother’s day gift. Thanks!!
This was actually one of the best product placement integrations I have ever seen, bravo!
If they were all that benign, I would watch more commercials.
How so? He never ever showed what products he was using. Annoying.
Just got an air fryer, so your video is very helpful and inspiring. Also, like the way you worked in your ad sponsor into the video, brilliant and slick!
Yeah me too !
I never have these "staples" just laying around my pantry - I'm so used to buying food for the sole purpose of a particular meal. I guess I need to change my grocery game in these times.
samore11 it will change your life for the better
I also came away with the same idea.
Im from Barcelona, I already knew your content but man, these weeks you been like my go to show when it comes to cooking
I basically bought an Air Fryer cuz of your videos, and i really love it.
And this videos are another dimension, definitely need more of those.
I appreciate how you just roll with it. Good vibes.
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to start cooking more and boy did I pick a good year to do it. These air fryer videos give me so many ideas on stuff to make with just one appliance so keep them coming if you can.
When you ate the breakfast sandwich I was smiling so hard... looked so good!!

13:04 when cooking or baking with a crust/pastry/bread you should cook at least 350 (can get away with 330) there is a chemical reaction that happens at this temperature that causes the food to cook and break down its ingredients that’s why your crust wasn’t cooked all the way and was too light on the bottom. And this goes for all cooking methods not just an air fryer.
Par bake the crust to a more fully done level and it might turn out better. Maybe that's just a quirk of the air fryer with the relatively small food chamber compared to a regular oven, there's no heat source underneath the basket, it's all coming from above and if you fill the food basket edge to edge it doesn't circulate as well.
Everytime I make a pie/quiche I prick my dough with a fork. Maybe do that in the prebake to make sure the air is circulated? I have never worked with an airfryer before, but it might help?
Do you mean the Maillard reaction? That can happen at a bit below 350. The issue is he just isn't getting enough heat to the bottom of the crust. The airfryer just isn't for everything.
Bruce Elgin but at the same time not cooking something at the right temperature is kinda a problem in cooking lmao😂
Air fryers only have a heating element in the top and a fan. He could have just flipped the quiche over and cooked it some more.
I loved your cooking on the fly at the end there. The adventure belongs not so much in knowing where you are going, but more of how you got there. The trial and error approach was perfect and promotes how we all should engage in our kitchen experiments.
actually, those are from Hong Kong not Korea at 18:47-20:00 cause they are speaking Cantonese

Stay safe Mike. Stock up stay home and let's keep cooking together. Thanks for making content and connecting with us all. Stay safe
the puff pastry needs steam to puff up, so put some water in the fryer
the cheese needs starch to bond with the milk, like in fondue
the pie crust needs to be baked before you put in the filling, otherwise it will be soggy
Thanks for your content. I'm a mother of two who never cooks...until now. I've been in my house for 4 weeks in Los Angeles and have been enjoying cooking for my family. Since I don't really do it, I've turned to youtube for help. We had an air fryer and your videos have been very helpful for a newbie, thank you!
Great watching someone work in and be excited in their medium. Thanks.
This whole thing is going to spawn an entire generation of half decent home cooks

Thank you! My air fryer arrived 4 days ago and I love it so far. I will definitely be using my oven a lot less for day to day cooking. It goes a long way having pros like yourself, Sam the Cooking Guy, Chef John, Gordon Ramsey (even if he is compensated by Philips), and coming up(?) Alex, show the learning curve and the innovative ways to use this very handy appliance. I don't do gadgets for the sake of just having one, I need to put my tools to good use. Don't have a lot of space either so I don't have a food processor because I have a good knife, no blender either but a friend gave me a nutri-bullet, My mortar and pestle are not decorative items although I do have a coffee grinder that I now use as a dedicated spice grinder. Thanks to you and the others I have mentioned, I can focus on refining techniques while also refining the recipes to suit my taste and needs. I have food allergies and plain dislikes for certain ingredients. Sorry for the long post but I have wanted to express my appreciation for a long time.
Watching your channel was what pushed me to actually get an air fryer! Keep it up! I totally dig that you still show the fails...helps with new ideas... appreciate the content.
Thank you for this. It's not only helpful, it's incredibly helpful and comforting in these crazy times!
13 more days and it will be a year of the ,”two week quarantine”
I used English muffins as the crust for my quiche recipe, and I liked it so much better than pie crust. I sliced the crust off the muffins, arranged them in a baking dish, and cut thin strips of the muffin for the side crust. It was so delicious this way.
Ok I've gone through 3 videos so far and I'm obsessed 😍😍😍!!!! Someone just suggested you to me and I can't thank them enough!!!! Keep up the air fryer foods!!! I'm hooked!!!
Your kitchen is 😍! So well equipped!!!!!!!
Thanks for keeping the uploads going. Keep yourself safe, bruv.
Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your shows, stay safe.
You're a messy cook and I like that! It was such a fun video to watch. Praying you stayed healthy and safe during this quarantine and beyond. Blessings!
Watching this in December ....it just brings it all back. I'm a teacher in Chicago and ...it's not the ideal situation but ....gotta get more on top of this thing.
With the quiche, if you put it in a pie pan that’ll fit into the air fryer, that may help. You wrapped the crust all over and there’s no place for the air to circulate.
I watched this at 2am when I was up with pregnancy nausea. Thank you for being the only comforting thing on suggested videos. ❤️
Except when you were poking around with the “broken” cheese sauce-I had to look away to not puke. 😂
Up at 2 am, I can't sleep. Pregnancy insomnia 🥴
This is so cool brother! Thanks for doing your part to help keep people off the streets!
Besides the weird onions lol, another thing that stood out was how well you implemented your sponsor. Well done. ✔ 👍
Dude, skip that studio. You don't need it. This was one of your most interesting videos in a long time. Both thumbs up and much love from Sweden!!
Pantry basics might need to be reconsidered. I couldn’t buy eggs in my area for almost a week. Not a pantry basic anymore in these days ;-D
Aqua Fava?
It's the liquid from a can chick peas.
It's no good for an omelette, clearly, but as a binder for cookies, it works.
Best of luck out there
jdniedner who would’ve thought awful vegan whipped cream would save us all! 😂😂
better than my pantry. I have rice and ramen.
Why would you want another species menstrual cycle? :=( 🤮
@@jdniedner chickpea flour too, flax, chia, vegetable starches to thicken too. So many options!! 🤩
Just got an air fryer and this video has me hyped for the possibilities! Thank you for the inspiration!
for pie crust you want to make sure you don't cut off the airflow. I use a ramekin in the airfryer which keeps the airflow and is way easier to remove.
22:12 mix the onions with some ghee with a pinch of NaCl and then put it into the air fryer. From Kerala, India by the way
Prem Aji wouldn’t ‘salt’ have been easier? 😂
If you dont have a ring mold you can use the ring from a mason jar lid! 😊
Love the testing way and going with it.
Hi there from Hong Kong. We've been basically quarantined since 25 January. We have no oven here, just an air fryer in our tiny apartment. These types of videos are giving us so much joy! Thank you!
By the way, the videos starting at 18:42 are actually all Hong Kong cooking channels!!!
Hi, for the caramelized onions
Add some water in the pan and preheat it for a while
That way the steam keeps the onion softer and sweeter
So you don’t get fried onions
It worked for me
😊😊😊😊😊
Like the pan in the air fryer, no an actual pan put inside, just the compartment below. Add 125ml of water, preheat it and then put in the onions like you want to fry it. Viola
This is my guest. The pie crust (and pizza dough in another video) didn’t work because you sealed the bottom off. Heat only comes from the top, then it’s circulated around the fryer using the fan. When you seal/obstruct the sides and bottom with the dough, there is no air getting to the bottom. You shouldn’t cover the bottom entirely, it will probably not work.
I got around it by letting it proof inside the airfryer, and then I carefully took out the dough, put it in the largest nonstick skillet I had, and just cooked the bottom for like 2-3 minutes on high (until I saw smoke).
Then I followed the recipe and it came out awesome with a cooked bottom!
Though I did prefer the doughy bottom from last time...
Hypothetically I could've just cooked the whole thing first in the airfryer and THEN put it in the pan to cook the bottom... actually, I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how that turns out
@@mjohnsimon1337 I was thinking you could flip it over on a piece of foil and do a fast 2 min 380 to finish it off? I'm really new am waiting for my new instant pot with fryer to arrive and found YOU! Of course I subscribed YOU are really knowledgeable
Love the creativity!
Thank you for sharing all the Airfryer receipt. Saved and shared.👍🏻
I have been experimenting with my airfryer for a while too. My alternative recipe was rice wraps for spring rolls with the apple pie stuffing, and some egg\milk washing. 10\10 Would recommend. Hope you can get some more air fryer recipes in your studio soon-ish.
Tried the pop tarts, I love it, they came out wonderful. I didn’t have confectionary sugar so I sprinkled a little raw sugar on top, cake out great
This is my 1st video of yours that I have ever seen and I cannot wait to spend the next 7 hours bingeing your videos!!!
I'm going to try most of these recipes. Thanks so much for the inspo ❤
For your quiche - given that the filling was solid enough I usually pop the slices back in upside down for a quick hight burst on the base. That crisps it up nicely!
Maybe making mini quiches in molds will let the air circulate better and bake properly?
Cook it (the quiche) in a pan in the air fryer I’ve had luck that way, also reheat you quiche and the bottom crust will be great!
I have an air fryer that is still in the box. I had no idea it was basically a convection oven . I will be using it now. That french toast and the quiche look amazing. Thank you for all the "tests" you ran for us so we don't have to waste food trying everything ourselves. Thanks also for leaving in your limited mistakes so that we can avoid them, saving food again.
Im binge watching Pro Home Cooks
I don’t know your name, yet, but you are so spot on for quarantine cooking! I need to find your free bread recipes
Love your videos!! Btw they are from Hong Kong!!🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰💛🥰
Hi! I'm from the future, Quarantine is still going on...
😂😂😂
Hey I'm from the future, we're pretty much chilling now
Hi from the future future. Still some quarantine in some places 😭
3rd jan 2022 still covid
Hi! I am from Future’s future.
We are still quarantined 🥲
Found this channel today and been binge watching all day.
Got an air fryer yesterday, they’re amazing, going to try the french toast tomorrow!
Genius stuff, man. Guess I’m making pop tarts tomorrow! Also, shared on Twitter w/ 3.5k followers. I hope it helps. Stay safe dude
Cooking in itself is a “craft” so to speak. Being crafty is a necessity when cooking. Just open your fridge and make something with what you have. A lot of ingredients can be substituted by others and even though it will change the recipe, it will still be as good/bad as it would have. Of course there are some ingredients that can’t be swapped, but that’s the exception not the rule.
So many reviews. I recently found this channel. You do amazing things with food. My take on the quiche crust is brown the crust a little before pouring filling inside. Keep up the good teach!
Man I have learned so much from you as far as how far I can take my Air Fryer, Thumbs UP and Stay Safe out there
When you cover the whole bottom of the basket it doesn’t allow heat to circulate underneath so the bottom will be undercooked
This happened with the pizza he tried in another of his videos on the channel. When air can't reach underneath, the base stays par-cooked. But I see how it would be great if there _were_ a hack to make a complete air fryer quiche. Edit: Solved! The answer is to place the pastry in a smaller diameter dish, then place that on a trivet (my 'Gourmia' came with one). Still await a solution for a _full-width_ quiche!
Dude that breakfast sandwich brought me back do them days mom would take to mcdees before school, nice job!
I just got an instapot air fryer and was looking for recipes for it when I stumbled across this video! You have some great ideas that I definitely want to try 😊
Oh My this video is AMAZING! I'm waiting for my Air Fryer to be shipped any day now and after seeing this video you gave me so many great ideas and i really appreciate that. Everything you made came out looking delicious. Thanks for sharing...subbed
I never thought about the homemade pop tarts but I'm going to try them !
In the initial bake, he should have let the pie crust of the quiche stay in longer. That would have helped fix the sogginess at the bottom.
A smaller pie would do fine so that it doesnt cover the bottom
Thank you for such a nice way to cook
Bought my husband an air fryer specifically for leftovers lol. Now we are actually foraging into cooking in it. Used your method for hot wings last night and they turned out great!
I wish you could add pictures here, I was inspired and made some "pop tarts" today. Blueberry preserves from last summer and homemade pie crust from the freezer, they turned out amazing and were a delightful little treat!
Just a question, did you do them on airfry or bake? Thanks.
This is the kind of video I miss from the Bros Green days. Just trying a bunch of shit out and seeing what works. Love it!
Your air fryer videos are my favorite!!! I never knew you could roll out bread like that to make a crust!
Great vid. 100% looking into one of these. I suggest for the pie to put a rack below maybe from a toaster oven.
I want someone that looks at me the way he looks at bread
LOL me too
No you don't. I came here because I cant stand that look. very punchable.
Good thing it was his loaf of bread, and not his buns !
As someone who lives in a small apartment my air fryer is my oven lol and this gave me great recipes thank you, you have a new sub! √
Thanks for the ideas!!
You are amazing! I am so happy I discovered you - your air fryer recipies are on point 👌 I basically just used to make the standard things like chicken & potatos, but will trying other things now. Will do your Kale Chips today!
A word of caution about that cheese sauce - it's really only going to work with pre-shredded cheese, and even then YMMV. Cheese sauce is an emulsion, which needs and emulsifier to stay smooth. In this case, that's the starch used to keep the cheese from clumping. Even then, you can see it's not a great emulsion, and breaks when he tries to add more water. If you intend to make it at home, add some cornstarch and heat it to a near boil.
Also, if you're going to put a bowl in your air fryer, make it a metal one. Glass might shatter due to the sudden temperature gradient...
WOW, I've been making cheese fondue for decades each Christmas and I never really knew why I put the starch in the cheese and whine mixture.
yipee, glad I found your channel from the person you recreated the pie from! (btw they are from hong kong not south korea!)
With the quiche. When you first baked the pastry just needed longer. What you had is what us brits call a soggy bottom. Great videos 👍
That was awesome, thank you so much for the video, stay safe, keep cooking!
Dude that video you found is in Catonese. It is a Hong Kong UA-camr.
Almost week 5 of isolation, its the videos like this keeping my sanity intact. Id still be eating plain pasta and rice
Everything blocks yummmy!
Living for these air fryer videos during quarantine 😍 thanks!
