air fryer

[mike89]

just made a batch of onion rings, came our darn good!!  no water was injured fellers..............  just sayin......     

[glenn57]

so Mike, what else have you used that for????? i've read everything from its the best thing since sliced bread to garbage to everything in between. works great for some things and not so for others????????

[mike89]

baked taters and it does make good bakers too, lots of frozen items work well..  french fries, etc.  the one thing I learned was ya have learn how long it takes to cook some things..  the only thing I have not done in it is fresh fish..  or anything from fresh I should say...

I got a small ninja air fryer that came with another purchase the "two fer one deal" tried it couple items,crashed n burned,threw it out,maybe a higher end one would be better?

yea thats the biggest knock i heard about the air fryer.......fresh fish dont turn out so good. me, personally i like fish swimming in hot oil.

although, my brother pan fried some walleyes that was pretty darn good just spraying veggie oil in the fry pan!!!! not surer how it work on a thicker chunk of fish like a nord!!!!!

I fried some fish in butter last night.  The wife got out her air fryer and cooked some frozen french fries.  Turned out great.  I noticed that a couple of times she pulled the basket out and shook them.  We are finally going to get some frozen onion rings tomorrow when we go shopping.  Curious to try them. I just put a little butter in my pan when frying fish.  Sprinkle them with Lawry's and paprika for some color.  Doesn't take long.

We have a big propane deep fryer up here for when we have company & want beer batter  . Usually though it's just a fry pan, some canola oil, & whatever we're using for a coating that time.

hey I thought you were supposed to get lessons on how to use that thing last weekend???  too many G&T's???

Auntie Mar Mar was busy so decided to fly solo tonite after enough liquid courage.  Much better results. Onion rings turned out decent after cutting the time down to 3/4's of what was reommended in the instructions. Could still take a minute or two off & they'd be perfect. As far as cooking time & explanation of functions & how to use them, probably the most poorly written instruction booklet I've ever seen. Looks like it was translated from Chinese back into English. Can see this is going to be a trial and error appliance.

[mike89]

yes there is trial and error...  and my instruction book was bad too..

[glenn57]

so do either one of you think about trying to read the instructions and use it BEFORE your all scnockered up!!!!!!

[mike89]

like Dotch said, instructions sucked over all..  and yes it gets used when ever, even breakfast!!!   

[Dotch]

I find the more libations I have the less I read the instructions and the better the thing works. A win:win! 

[mike89]

been there done that Dotch!!!

So who reads 'em for you?

I've picked apart alot of reading material in my day. Can't trust anything from management

Do your lips get tired reading the instructions?

Have some sweet potato wedges I'm gonna try next. I could waste time reading the instructions or tie one on first & skip that part so the damn thing works!

[mike89]

tried some hot dogs in the air fryer, turned darn good!!  toasted the bread with the cheese on it and all!! 

[Dotch]

Update: Did the sweet potato wedges and a batch of onion rings for supper with the air fryer last nite to go along with some popcorn shrimp I made in the toaster oven. Outstanding but since it was Sunday nite, had to wonder how much better it might've been with numerous G&T's? Always a next time I guess...

We did get some onion rings to try but they had a thick coating on them and ended up hard as heck.  Need to try again.
