Air Fryer Recipes

The tray is - well - a tray underneath. Super easy to pour off. And really easy to line with foil. I have the Cuisinart AFR-25 and have never had to clean anything else inside other than basket and tray.

One of the hugest advantages is the large rectangular basket. When I had the egg one, round and deep was not advantageous to even frying. Also I think some of the round units are temp. limited by the plastic construction.

Anyway to each their own!

 

I guess this is the part that confuses me.. and why I (incorrectly?) assumed this would be a PITA to clean?

 

Its not awful, just spray with cooking spray and its easier. Let it soak and it scrubs off

 

Which is fair...but is there also a tray below that?

 

Yep has a drip tray, metal shelf and crumb tray at the very bottom

 

I put aluminum foil on the drip tray to make easy cleanup. The air/fan comes from top down

 

Same clean up as any basket. It has some antistick coating that most stuff just knocks off. I don't need to clean it every cook.

 

OK here is freaky healthy but tasty weird AF recipe.

Yeah, takes some courage. Buy these: https://www.morningstarfarms.com/en...ms-grillers-prime-veggie-burgers-product.html

(don't let your manly friends see you, but chicks will continue to dig you)

Then cut into 3/4" or so strips. Yeah long and short strips, it's a circle

Then get the strips a little wet with olive oil or oil of your choice - sprinkle a healthy amount of chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder evenly on the strips. Basically coat them with a spice mixture of your choice.

In the rectangular basket for 2-3 OR SO minutes at 375°-400°F. Just until a bit crispy.

Oh hell yes.

 

Sub’d for later reading.

we use our power airfryer at least 3-4 times a week if not more.

 

Some good stuff here.
Been busy myself less time for experiments

 

My air fryer came with a little wire rack meant for hot dogs or sausages etc.. heck I flipped it over and threw on some corn tortillas and air fried them 400F for 3-4 minutes and made "hard shell" tacos



If you put the meat on the top..the juice soaks into the lettuce/cheese/whatever and doesn't run down your arm

 

Pro tip! I’m going to try that.

 

So, once you air fry bacon you can’t go back. Fryer was buried in the pantry this morning so I just pan fried my bacon today. Bad idea, it’s so much worse on the stove top lol.

 

Hmmm, last time I tried that the bacon grease hit the burner on top and caught it on fire...

 

Best bacon is oven baked. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, put a rack on top, and lay the bacon out. 350 for 30 minutes.

Perfectly flat, evenly cooked bacon!

 

HOLY CRAP!

 

Best bacon I've tasted was cooked on my Weber charcoal grill.

 

Try it in a smoker. 250f for about 2 hours. Only downside is having to plan ahead. Good smokiness flavor and the only time I have ever enjoyed the fat part of the bacon when not crispy. Then if you want real crispy it is only a few seconds shy of it in an pan or oven or air fryer.

 

Try this............a cast iron pan in the smoker with some Hatch or Anaheim chili peppers all in a sweaty heap. Oh some tasty goodness.

 

Good suggestions. I’m an apartment dweller but the first four things I’m buying when the wife and I finally find the house we’ve been looking for are:

Hunting Dog
BBQ
Smoker
ATV
