I wish stuff like this existed when I was a student. I had a small rice cooker, which was amazing as a student, but that in combination with a airfryer would be god tier for a low budget or anyone limited in space.
@Masaka a you can find 2 liter capacity ones for less than $35. Perfect size for my dorm room. Its just slightly larger than an electric kettle
Souchira instant pot has a pressure cooker air fryer for under USD $200. Check out John Sanders channel where he does a full beef prime rib roast and in another video 20 wings from frozen to done in 1/2 an hour.
Fred Frond we have both an airfryer and instant pot, and both cook different foods better :) don't know if it would be a good option for dorm rooms though with the price point. A small rice cooker and airfryer would do well in dorms.
Chicken nuggets and fries midnight snack . . . frozen egg rolls . . frozen bean and cheese burritos . . .
As a student in Italy you only eat pizza!!!! Not too bad after all 🤣

Wasn’t even late to the Air Fryer Party; as still don’t have one..... same goes for the InstaPot (pressure cooker + slow cooker; had a “baby” kitchen appliance😂) Craze😉
Like the vids, CHEERS ✌🏼
I got an airfryer today, years after instapot and slow cooker
THANK YOU for taking time to do this. Much appreciated. 🙏
Really like the honesty, hate when people cook and everything is "wow, that's amazing"...no it's not. Letting us know how you could have made it better helps us avoid the same mistakes; much appreciated!
To be fair, most cooking videos only have the people cooking stuff they know will work... they try to teach us what they know how to make...
And when they actually make the rare mistake, they usually do admit it.
@Kevin O Wow your reply to that comment is amazing
@@FrozenAlacrity Wow, you're amazing.
OH MY GOD - ITS DE-LI-CIOUS. uhmmmmmmmmmm, Im dying, this is so so so so good. nomnomnom. WOW!
I completely agree I hate trying a recipe only for it to turn out horrible or mediocre when they made it out to be amazing.
Just a random tip that I use with wings in my air fryer. I stand them on their tips and support them with each other. This gives an easy way to fully crisp the whole wing without needing to flip them.
Best comment
But where they touch they won't cook, no??
What settings do you use for cook time and temperature?
My wife got me an air fryer last year. 1st thing i cooked was wings. I cooked them like directions, at the end though i raised temp 10 degrees for 5 extra minutes. They came out amazing.
How do you stand them exactly?
Key to air fry is if you want anything less dry inside. It needs to be 90% cooked on a low temp and then last 10% cooking time should be at max temp to achieve that Gold tone of deep fryer. And don't forget the preheat 3 min max temp or add 3-5 min more to your recipes required time if you too lazy to pre heat.
Good tips!
This was very useful tip. Bless you
I'm in awe. A close friend bought me an air fryer today as a late birthday gift. I'd heard they really shine with meat.
The first thing I cooked was ribeye steak with stuffed mushroom, and I just guessed on the timings and temperatures. I usually like my steak rare, but it came out medium/well done, I kind of expected that seeing as it was all guess work. But MY GOD. I have never had a medium/well done steak have such golden and crispy fat, yet retain such juiciness and flavour. The first ever thing I cooked in this new air fryer fucking sold me completely!
I've just finished a beautifully seasoned chicken breast, and yet again it was pure juiciness and flavour.
I'm beginning to feel like this is the best birthday gift I have ever received!
Oh wow, so you really like it? Does it seem to make cooking a lot more EASIER? I'm thinking on getting one, and these videos inspire me. 😂
Maybe I can cook good meals for my family. Wife, daughter, and elderly mom.
I think maybe even she can use it since she's elderly. She won't have to bend down to put in and take things out of the hot oven and accidently burn her wrist or back of the hand..
@Jojo Joline it's the Ninja foodi? What da hek?!
@Jojo Joline what's 50 bucks at target 🎯
@Jojo Joline what model air fryer are u talking about
That is a GOOD friend that you have, there!
In Thailand "Sundried Beef" isn't completely dried, and it needs to be cooked after the drying in the sun. It is usually fried with garlic, it creates that juicy chew and meaty flavor. It looks like you made something really close to nuea daed diew (เนื้อแดดเดียว beef, one sun), and I'm very excited to try it
I find when baking dough items, such as tarts or rolls, belay the egg wash/brushed butter until halfway through baking time. This allows the dough to bake without over browning.
Thank you
Finally a fellow in the know about bread.
Thanks , you meant "delay"?
@@billihawk368 Sure, which ever works for you.

my wife took the kids but I have the air fryer so it's all good
you can always make new kids
@F*CK tRump Ha's are here to
what? i don't get it
That's a positive way of looking at life!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ciaoooooo from the ITALIAN FOOD BOSS! 💪💪🇮🇹🇮🇹
@@Yolo_Swagins you can always get a new air fryer
Thank you so much! I’m late to the game with air fryer too. I just didn’t think I needed another gadget but I love it !
Okay. I’m getting this for my birthday. I’m officially hooked. I want the same exact size and model.
I would love a whole series on air fryer recipes! This was a great video.
Quick Tip for slicing any meat thinly: Take refrigerator temperature meat and place it on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until it just starts to freeze. You want it cold and very firm with some ice crystals starting to form, but not so frozen that a sharp chef's knife won't go through it. With a little practice and patience, you can then slice amazingly thin slices. If it starts to get too warm and loose, return it the the freezer for 10 minutes and then continue.
a lil extra tip, have the knife at a lil angle also ......
great tip
This is kinda how I used to do my Carpaccio at a joint I ran about 10 years ago, good tip.
a sharp knife helps too. I'd imagine most general kitchen knives are more dull than they should be.
@@lacydoe Cutting at an angle (or "on the bias") is for increased tenderness, more surface area, and better aesthetics. While it's the ideal way to do it, it's more difficult than simply cutting perpendicular to the board.
That's assuming you were responding to Irennerz's tip... If you were just sharing another separate tip, please excuse my nit-pickery and ignore me.
Oh my god the pie and rolls had the most beautiful browning I’ve ever seen !! I feel like I’m watching a ghibli movie
smad lad God always gets a capital G.
MuscularMtnMan no
"Why I season my air fryer, not my chopping board."
For the jerky, I would recommend freezing your beef before cutting it. That'll make getting super thin slices WAY easier.
But of course, some people complain that the meat gets hard.(that's what the knifes for)
@@CoryRayGordonMusic Freezing beef is against my religion.
You can get a good meat slicer for $100 or less (same price as some really good knives). Freeze the meat for like an hour or so beforehand and you’ll have perfect even slices.
@@ericmack6923 or go to an Asian market and get the pre-sliced ribeye they cut for bulgogi
@@thomlarsen6743 Yo thats actually an amazing idea, thanks for that
this and the instant pot are like heaven for students
Man, I was so resistant to the instant pot, but it's my number 1 used kitchen appliance now, after the microwave. Maybe I should take another look at these airfryers....
@@amouramarie I'm on the other side. I swear by my airfryer and just got an instant pot as a gift. We have so much to learn from one another! (Wings, burgers, steaks, heck youc an even do a small "baked" chicken in an airfryer and they are HEAVEN)
@Anonymous Besides the obvious things like rice in about 20 minutes and slow cooking, it does what pressure cookers are great at - deep cooking in short time. For example you can cook unsoaked beans in about 70 minutes including warming-up and cool-down time. You can do one-pot stews, chilis, curries and mac-n-cheese in short time without having to babysit at all.
@Anonymous I'm telling you, don't knock it till you try it. It sears the outside really well without drying out the inside and you don't have to mess with charcoal or worry about too much grease. They come out fantastic.
There is an instant pot with an air frying attachment. It’s $170 but it seems awesome
Thank you! I just used mine for the first time yesterday!! I’m excited to cook more!
I love my air fryer, though I never knew I could bake buns in it! I’m gonna have to make some!
After all, you are the Mack, of your Chef John Hack... :)
Air Fryers are our Friends..
Noice
Everybody loves Chef John’s tricks❣️👏🤘
There's no way I can't give this video the old tappa tappa on the thumbs up button.
Chef John would be proud of that one, LOL!
Fork don't lie!
I am loving the quality and personality in your latest videos. So refreshing on this platform!
"air fry at 180 for 30 minutes, flip over and cook for another 30 minutes" *cooks it for 30 minutes* "huh I think this could use longer, maybe even double"
I did notice that the instructions in the book for the jerky specified 30 minutes for 1/4 in thick strips, then turn over and set for another 30. :) Gosh, this all looks yummy. Thanks for such a great intro to using such an intimidating appliance for more than just reheating pizza.
Chef John really is the godfather of youtube cooking
I will worship him forever
@@chuchuchuchia haha, he's a true legend. He's helped me a ton over the years
His thumbnail image reveals his legend status.
Yaaaaasssss! Chef John is the best!
Huck it’s so true I was watching the video with my friend and telling him everyone name drops chef John that’s when you know your on a good cooking channel
I've made that broccoli a stupid amount of times, which lead to me experimenting with a bunch of other air fried veggies. So thank you for single handedly upping my vegetable consumption 😂
I've been looking at your airdry cooker. I so love 5he way you wing it through. IT JUST WORKS.
Amazing, tks so much for the great upload, tips and testing! I'm certainly convinced it's just what I need!
I don't know why but i just love it when other youtubers mention chef john.. feels so wholesome
Was going to get one of these for Christmas and watching this video has made me solidify my purchase. I want to do broccoli like that, it looks so healthy and tasty but takes an hour in the oven. Great vid
Took me months to take mine out of the box. Intimidated me. Glad to see this vid. Hopefully it will motivate me
I just got one yesterday. Great video you opened eyes to many more options.
When the potatoes are sitting, they're still cooking but cooling as well in a heap which makes them soggy. Put them on a rack while waiting for the fryer to heat back up so they don't get soggy while you wait.
Watching this totally makes me want to get one. Speed and ease is all I need...when it come to food
I would love a whole series on air fryer recipes! This was a great video.😃
Great great videos! I'm just about to buy an air fryer butt needing confirmation that it will be good for more than just fish and chips. You convinced me! From Australia thank you. Your videos are so simple but provide all the information I needed without all the dribble most other cooking videos make us listen to. You made it about the food and not you. Keep up the great work. 👍
These are absolutely brilliant for mozzarella sticks and Totino's pizza rolls.
.... *off to the youtube search i go*
Andrew Elias yeah, don't use it to prepare healthy snacks and foods without unhealthy crap additives, run straight for the junk food!
@@sdushdiu Your sarcasm humor detector is broken
Buzz Buzz Not at all - as the fact remains that that is exactly how most imagine the purpose to be gor this device - another way to prepare junk food
@@sdushdiu Everyone: *eats pizza rolls*
This guy: "I'm gonna end this man's career"
Who needs an oven with one of these?! Lol I'm SOLD! Definitely running to order one now after contemplating for months.
Ok, now I'm hungry. Thanks guys! Look forward to trying some of these!
Wow! Amazing recipes, so easy and delicious!!
I absolutely love my air fryer. It's given me so much more freedom in my kitchen! After moving to Korea I didn't have an oven in my kitchen and also didn't want to have to get many different appliances such as a microwave/toaster oven/etc... and was able to just use an fryer for everything. I am so glad I can bake again.
It's nice to see an air fryer video where they're not just warming up frozen food.
LMAO.
In fairness that's what these things are used for 99% of the time.
Thanks SO much for this! I've had an airfryer for months but was intimidated to cook with it, i feel way better now!!
treat it like a mini convection oven because that's what it is lol
I used to think just like you. I returned the furst one I got without even trying it.
Then I got one for Christmas. Ok- now I am trying to learn more. So thank you so much for your videos.
Am I the only one who saw the jerky instructions said "Turn strips over and air fry for an additional 30 minutes"
julb2075 oops. So I guess they nailed it haha
And it said only keeps for up to a month. Real beef jerky keeps a lot longer than that.
@@jomsies just make smaller amounts and remake before you eat the last lot. Simple. No preservative
@@MrVIPLIMO Beef jerky I used to make never made it to storage. Sometimes didn't even last that long in the food dryer lol. Kids would casually drift past and ...just leave me a few pieces...
@@jomsies not true at all. beef jerk, real beef jerky can last for a long time if stored correctly and it doesnt have or need preservatives in it because its dehydrated. without moisture it doesnt rot. i suggest you search for Alton Brown and watch his video on how to make beef jerky.
I just got a Nija Air Fryer for (2019) Christmas so I was happy to find your channel. You make cooking in an air fryer easy and delicious. I’ll be following you now.
Bea Redd LoL. I got the same one for Christmas.
I'm totally trying some of these recipes and some from the one after this when I get my own air fryer🤤
I'm sure all the Africans/Caribbeans were weirded out when he put maple syrup and cinnamon on the plantains lol
And Latinos hahaha was like.. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH OUR PATACONES"
@@christianmendoza762 Oh! It thought that !
Yeah I migth try that anyways
I scrolled down to see if anyone else felt that was bizarre. I knew it was going to be weird when he didn't cut them at an angle.
Dios mío qué le hace a los patacones! 😂
Mike - You killed it on this video! Super interesting recipes. I love how you show the natural process of making these dishes and the surprise you feel after something tasting way better than you thought it would.
Need to make those apple pies asap.
This is an excellent video; I’ve done the kale and it turned out perfectly with my new air fryer. Wish you could do a part 2 video to this and we can see what more ideas you two come up with.
Everything looks amazing!
I had so much fun watching your air fryer videos. Thank you for sharing!! 💚
I've been double frying my smashed tostones & sprinkling them with salt...(green plantains of course!) But then I started putting brown sugar & caramelizing it when frying the tostones the second time and they were fabulous. They come out crisp & sweet with the caramelized sugar. I love them.
This video was do nice and informative! I found an unused Dash air fryer at Goodwill for $4usd and I was at a loss as to what to do with it. I tried some of the things from this video and I loved it! I'm now saving up to buy a bigger one so the whole family can get in on this awesome device.
I’m senior citizen and I love your air fryer cooking ....I been single and after close to retirement started cooking like a new bride for two, that was decade ago... I still don’t cook very well and I learn a lot from you... The traditional cook for maybe four a lot and your cooking, minimal fits us... Thank you for showing Apple turnover , I made potatoes for dinner etc...Luv it..
Curious about Air Fryers, yours being the 2nd video and what a nice find, thanks for sharing. Definitely will be watching more
Got to be honest, I'm still not used to the name of this channel, like I'll see a notification and think who the hell is this?
Goodi2shooz totally get it, I would feel the same if I was used to a channel name popping up in my sub box for years.
@@ProHomeCooks Brother Green Pro Home Cooks.
Just happened to me!!! And I finally clicked on the video
I'm new here what was the old channel name?
I recognize the face
I just upgraded my air fryer to a Breville smart oven.. so good!
Just started following your channel and I love it! The air fryer videos is what caught my attention. I also just got one myself for Christmas.... You should make an air fryer series! Lol Great channel, can't wait to watch all of your videos!!
Awesome quick and delicious recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Anyone who's going to make sweet plantains, please know that your plantains need to be brown/black not yellow. Do not do what he did and use a yellow one. A ripe plantain is almost completely brown/black.
nanuhoneyluv seems like he was trying to make tostones and not maduros, so he would have needed green plantains rather than yellow at all. But then he added cinnamon which confused me so maybe you’re right
Was thinking the same thing... Yellow with salt (tostones)or black with cinnamon(maduros).
Thank you! I didn’t know why they tasted different.
@@PeterSedesse Tostones is made with plantains that are not ripe (green). And usually with the shape he tried to make them. Sweet plantain does NOT have to be black. They just have to be really soft, feel like an overly riped banana to the touch. Sometimes they are yellow, sometimes black. If they are not so soft yet, you can still make them and get a less sweet and slightly sour plantain, some people actually like it better that way!. Ive been eating plantains since I was a kid, I am from Venezuela.
I remember making a really sweet plantain lasagna with black plantains. It was delicious. Wonder how well it would work in an air fryer.
I love the airfryer. For people that live alone (Like me ;( ) or households of 2, the airfryer can almost completley replace the oven and deepfryer. The only problem is larger things (e.g. full sized cake or pizza). But almost everything can be made in smaller versions. For some foods it can just be a hassle to figure out the right time/temperature ratio, but for most foods you can find good instructions on the internet.
Love my cosori! Instead of the pam, toss anything your coating with oil in a gallon size bag or glass bowl with seasoning and some olive oil. No buildup and more budget friendly imo.
I have recently bought the Cosori combo Toaster Oven, Air Fryer, Baking/Roasting and Dehydater. I LOVE it! I'm single and I never use my oven anymore!
Very helpful video, thank you! I'm late too. All my friends have one. I'm excited my air fryer is coming next week.
One thing I've found about the Air Fryer is IT DOESN'T HEAT UP THE KITCHEN. Not an issue in colder countries, but this is why they are so popular in places like India. And apart from fine tuning your own recipes in the beginning, you can toss the food in, and just walk away. For a few minutes :-) One thing it doesn't do, particularly with meat dishes though, is provide the basis for gravy like meat in a pan does. (though the cake baking accessory would work if gravy is a must). I've done marinated chicken pieces in their sauce in the cake baking pan; worked beautifully.
🤔 Apple pie 🤤
This video told me I’m not using my airfryer enough
RosetheLourdes same here
RosetheLourdes Yeah. I thought I was until now.😂
My wife wanted an airfryer for months. Best kitchen appliance I bought. So handy
Same!!
You make me want to try my fryer again! Thank you!
All kinds of goodies going on here! Very nice guys
I like how you say “I ...” but those aren’t your hands 😂😂
He should be saying "WE"
Haha was thinking the same thing
i literally went down to the comments to say that lol like he better give her her credit next time
she did everything lol
Like the time she used a knife to slice open the banana peel? That was the most gay thing ever.
Thank you so much for this video! It convinced my husband and me to buy one. Still experimenting, with some hits and misses, but I think we will end up very happy with it.
One question about kale chips: how do you stop the light pieces from flying around, getting caught in the fan and burning? I had to stop it every couple of minutes to clean out the fan.
Excellent and informative video, I just got my air fryer and did not know how to use it :) Thanks a lot! Congrats!
I Just Bought One & Just Sit There. Because Iam Scared to Used It.This is Great Video.Thanks♡♡
I don't like having too many countertop gadgets so I invested in a Breville Smart Oven, it roasts, bakes, toasts, air fries, dehydrates. I use the air fry feature almost daily. Several gadgets in one.
I read "cursed apples" instead of "cubed apples" and thought "oh myyy"
not Snow White approved!
In your George Takei voice?
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 of course
Just spit tea on my screen... thanks 😊
@@charlieechoalpha7286 you're welcome lol
... Nice… I enjoy experimenting like that myself… Jumping over to part two of the air fryer series...😎
Can’t wait to try all of this thank you guys!
Air frying is really easy and you can still cook from scratch! Whole roasted chicken is amazing, so juicy! Burgers, so juicy! Grilled cheese! Let’s see what you cook up.. now, onto your video. Got a little excited! Lol
You said “and then i” so many times but it was really Alex doing the work xD
Thank you for sharing recipes I will try them. It save on my gas bill.
Thanks. Very useful and tempting
capitalizing on the assumption that a vast majority of people received an air fryer as a gift this holiday, very smart
I am one of those people
Same. Got one as a gift.
Same here lol
I received a ninja foodi

Ty for this video! I am too late to the "Airfryer party" lol. This video has changed my mind.
Saw your air fryer test today. Loved it.
I saw you mention beef jerky in a different air fryer video and I had to come check this out. My friend really loves jerky, it'd be great if I can do it with my air fryer. Thanks so much for these videos!
Awesome! Thanks! The beef jerky you made is more like the South African Style "Biltong" it's much more rare than jerky

Made the Milk Bread Rolls following your Milk Bread recipe and the AF cooking time. I'm so happy, thank you!
Wow! That's so crazy! Good job for sharing it. We appreciate it!
It's a miniature fan oven, that's what it is. That's why it cooks more efficiently. I have one, and I use it a lot - i love it.
i have 2 because I like to cook potatos with my wings, for example - I guess you can do both together in the big ones...
@@michaelxz1305 Yes you can. The problem is when you stack too much stuff: you should place food inside in such a way that air can circulate freely.
Yes, but even though convection ovens (fan ovens) been around for years, they weren't hip or trendy. Re-slap a new label on them, call them "air fryers" to a new generation, and boom, profit.
Love what you demonstrated here, and I don’t understand why there are so many dislikes or thumbs down.
SL Hemp because some people do not believe other people’s opinions count. Other people are just born haters.
The background music in this video is ON POINT.
I need Alex in my life! She’s so nice & natural💓
I'm obsessed with my Ninja Foodi! Cant stop air frying EVERYTHING haha ✌️💚🇨🇦
CZcams chefs can take as many recipes from chef John as much as they like but no one can be as daddy as daddy John
Thank you for this. I've been on the fence about these devices and I'm trying to get away from traditional frying.
I've now made up my mind to get an Air Fryer.
I will definitely be using some of these recipes. Thank you.
@ProHomeCook. nope
Those milk bread buns look awesome!!
Quick tip: you can preheat the air fryer for around 3 mins before putting the food in
Because no one knows how to preheat an oven?
Never thought of that, great tip!
@@robinlillian9471 The instructions say you don't need to preheat the air fryer but it works better if you do.
@@johndough8219 Then you have the wrong air fryer. The Cosori makes it a point of telling you to preheat, plus they have button for exactly that.
literally doesn't make a difference if you preheat it or not
love the bread buns.... thanks for sharing
Awesome video! I just stumbled across your channel last night. I have been binge watching your videos for a few hours now. Needless to say, you have a new subscriber! 😊
