Pavlova is basically a meringue. Whenever I have made it, it’s sort of crispy on the outside or crunchy and chewy, light and chewy sort of a chew in the middle. It’s usually cooked at a very low temperature for a very long time to dry out. The texture of yours with the wet stuff on the bottom didn’t look right. It is as though it didn’t dry out enough maybe if it was cooked longer it would’ve worked.
Yeah, it definitely wasn't cooked! I would have said that even in an air fryer it would still need about an hour cooking time. Still, it would have tasted great! X
Coming here to say the same - when I listened to them cutting it (or the lack of sound as they cut into it), I knew right away that it was undercooked.
Yup absolutely not cooked, probably fine to eat, eggs where set. But if should be dryed out, crunchy but off chew in the middle. The cook time sounded off to me, 2 hours at 90 degrees Celsius is pretty normal for that size in a normal oven. 20 minutes would have been magic
Oooh and the wet stuff on the bottom is probably a sign that not all the sugar was properly desolved in the eggs. Before you stop wisking, take a bit off the mixture between 2 fingers, if it feel gritty keep mixing. I noticed alot off sugar on the sided off the bowl, that is normal, but scrap it in with a spatula and fully mix it in, so that the pavlova does not get wet when baking.
Not only that but she let it sit on the counter for quite some time while she was waiting for the mac and cheese
For Pavlova - Make sure the edges are relatively tall and there is a nice dip in the center. Bake the meringue until it is dry and sounds hollow when tapped. Let pavlova rest in the warm oven 30 minutes before removing from the oven to ensure the exterior dries
And be sure you aren’t whipping your egg whites too fast- if you whip them too fast they will loose their structure no matter what!
@Davinebush is 100% with her tips. Exactly what I was going to say
Awesome tips and 100% agreed. I also wonder if she let the eggs already whipped rest for too long + whipped them too fast. But that pavlova did not look fully done/set.
One last tip - when whipping egg whites, you need to make sure your mixer has zero fat residue or it will affect the whipping. I usually wipe it down with a cloth dipped in vinegar to make sure i get any residue.
I vote for Chris to do a whole episode of his fav holiday recipes… would love to learn more about his chocolate mousse and his French toast bake!!!!
Yessss my thought exactly!
Rachel, I'm going to blow your mind right now...an air fryer is quite literally a mini convection oven 🤯🤯🤯. I love how you get so excited about finding recipes you can make in an air fryer that you would normally make in the oven. Lol
I know all you need is a fan force oven and there you go .
For the Meringue of the pavlova: slowly trickle in the sugar with the whisk on high speed (so not the slow speed you were using, that just beats the air out again). Once the sugar is all in, keep it whisking it on high until when you rub a little of the meringue between your fingers it feels smooth and there are no sugar crystals you can feel. Then bake it low and slow, generally at least an hour, then let it cool down in the oven. Also, bake it immediately when you're done whipping, don't let it stand about.
Yeah I was coming to say that mixer needs to be WAY faster for meringue. I have macarons and you want lots of air in meringue.
For the pavlova, you need to make the meringue at a MUCH higher speed. You deflated it while you were adding the sugar. You also need to immediately bake it or it will separate. So it sitting while you waited for the mac and cheese to finish was to its detriment. It was also definitely underbaked. It shouldnt be bendy in the middle.
Awww chris makin extras for you is so sweet. I want to find someone who does sweet little things for me like that🥺🥺
Thes kind of pizza "pockets" was a normal "bring something for the buffet"- food back 20 years ago. Ad least here (Germany) I did them quit often and yes pastrie dough is right. Quick, yummy and easy to variate
I took me a second for me to understand what you meant by "bring something for the buffet"😂 In America at least, we say potluck for parties where you bring dishes and buffets make me think of buffet restaurants or catering buffets (same idea, just all made by one person, usually a professional). Just in case anyone else was confused. I love when food trends reappear!
Yeeessss. Same
YES!!! I thought, "I'll be so disappointed if Christopher doesn't wear his Friar Tuck shirt for air fryer day".
Pretty sure we need a full video of Chris recipes.
P.s loving all the aussies and New Zealanders commenting about the pavlova- a staple at all Christmas functions
Pavlova can literally be kept uncut for weeks when cooked properly... definitely don't have to serve immediately! It wasn't cooked enough, which is why it was wet and you also needed to mix it at higher speeds then put it in the oven/fryer immediately. Also, a touch of cream of tartar can help stabilise the meringue. Here in Australia, we generally use unsweetened cream as the pavlova is already sweet, and top with fruit. Our Christmas classic!
lol I just posted the same response, she also didn’t put the crème of tartar in it .
I was laughing the entire time you were questioning the puff pastry because my fiancé and I make croissant 🥐 pizzas all the time and they are soooo good. I was waiting for the moment where you realized HOW GOOD IT ACTUALLY IS! 😂😂😂
I feel Chris saying his dairy and gluten free French toast casserole just needed to be 'edible' lol. My baby sister has a lot of health issues and is gluten, dairy, nut, and soy free but we still make everything (family dinner and desserts) like we used to, just now catered to her diet too. I've mastered it by now, but baking gluten, dairy, nut, and soy free sometimes means we have something technically classifying as a 'sweet' but it's not delicious 😅
The French toast lasagna sounds soooooo good. I would love to see you guys make that.
It's been a minute since I've made a pavlova but I'm going to say yours was not done. Mine always had a hard crunchy exterior and would crack when cut. We also ate it cooled off and never hot or warm. Puff pastry - Last week we used puff pastry for the first time. We made all kinds of individual appetizer squares. All were fantastic. We did basic pepperoni pizza, a sundried tomato pesto with cheese, a BBQ chicken and cheese, a jalapeno popper one and another with a garlic sauce, bacon, diced tomato and cheese. I will definitely be using puff pastry again!
Yay, your recipe videos are my favourite! I make the confit garlic, peach & buratta on ciabatta recipe you made last year, every single week!
PS. One week Christopher should make three of his favourite recipes and you can taste test them.
Always love me some TikTok recipe testing. Wouldn't complain if we had even more of that in the new year ❤ also, maybe you could do a series where you and Chris share some of your all-time favorite recipes. So like, what is your favorite brownie recipe? What is your favorite Ramen recipe? What is your favorite way to prepare steak? Just like a kitchen basics type vibe since yall seem to be so knowledgeable 😊❤
Pavalova originated here in New Zealand ❤. Although Australians would argue that 😅😅😅 My favorite dessert ever x It should be crispy on the outside like a crust and like marshmallow inside. I think maybe the whipping wasnt quite there? I could send you like a no fail pav recipe? If you see this comment ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I very much would like the no frills recipe!
Agreed! I'm from the US but made a pavlova for New Years Eve and it will be a new tradition for sure! But Rachel's was definitely not whipped enough I think.
I thought maybe leaving the mixture to sit while she started/continued a different recipe might have been a factor too, rather than putting it straight in the air fryer.
@@SarahAnn1015 I think the egg whites were whipped to long and sugar added to fast. I honestly think the only way to get a good pav is slowly in an oven 😀
@@ambermccombs8595 I wonder if I can post it in the comments 🤔
I’m so glad you posted this right as I was looking for a video to watch! You’re actually hilarious and I love your videos. Fr 2023 was picking up all the pieces 😂
For a more savory bagel (though not an air fryer recipe) I like to take a toasted bagel and do the butter and cream cheese but add tart apples (normally Granny Smith) and salt it’s like a perfect sweet savory more on the savory side treat!
I could see that with like an Asiago or gruyere bagel being so gooood
@@jordanstoop233 I’ve used garlic cheese bagels and it was so good. Plains what I normally have on hand but I’ve even tried it with different flavor cream cheese combos and so far they’ve all been hits except strawberry cream cheese.
The separation was due to the egg whites initially being overwhipped. They looked a little dry … I may be wrong.
It was also undercooked as the previous poster mentioned, pav should be crunchy on the outside, marshmallow like inside.
Great video as always, Rachel!
I got engaged for Christmas/new years 🥰
Congratulations!!
I want to make use more of air fryer, this video is just perfect to kick off new year! Happy new year to Rach and fam 🎉
Hi! The egg white is on the bottom of the pavlova because you waited too much before baking it. You should never let sit more than a few minutes beaten whites
We use our air fryer almost every day! Ours has a window in the front so you can see how your food is doing. We cook lots of marinated meats to freeze for quick meals (our grandkids love chicken drumsticks!) But, if you ask our grandkids, they would say the donuts made from Grands biscuits were their favorites!!😁
I swear that you and Christopher are the cutest couple online!! You complete each other, and that's very inspiring!
Your work is very appreciated!
You're right about 2024 sounding weird. It sounds very futuristic to me. 🤷🏼♀️
Love from Michigan 💜
I love these air fryer recipe videos so much thank you for all you do bc cooking is not usually my forte but i wish it was 🙏😆🥰
Pavlova tips
Whisk on high when adding sugar in
Rub a little bit of mix (before cooking) if you feel sugar not done.
Let cool in air fryer or oven til cold.
Serve with cream and fruits
Berries, kiwifruit and passionfruit
Pavlova is a common desert in Australia - lots of us have it at Christmas. It should have a white crust on the outside and be soft on the inside.
In my fam we make individual pavlova nests then melt a little chocolate on top and once that is set add strawberry and maybe some blueberries then put some passion fruit on the top and a little whipped cream - real cream though, not the stuff from the pressurised can. Every family will make their a little different.
Love both of your channels and love that Chris helps and always tastes testes, but that said… Chris needs his OWN cooking channel! I think we can ALL agree and would totally watch that! ❤❤❤ you two are cute together 🥰
I got a simple modern tumbler and OMG I freaking love it so much! 😍 I was drinking lots of water before, but now it's so much simpler and I don't have to keep getting refills! And it's so pretty! It's their midnight ombre! I can't thank you enough for suggesting them! Soooo much prettier than Stanley cups
As a keyboard enthusiast, let me just say, it's so fun modding and building your own keyboard! You can make them sound just how you like, and as cute as you want too! It can be an expensive hobby but honestly, even just getting one and building it to your preferences is game changing for typing comfortability. I recommend it to anyone who types/games/is at their desk a lot! 👍😄
hello from four months in the future, do you happen to know what kind of switches the keyboard she featured used? That sound scratched my brain.
I had my son and his fiancee over and we had so much fun doing Christmas-y things ❤ I don't butter a bagel if I'm adding cream cheese. As someone who is on the computer all day for work that keyboard noise would really drive me to violence 😂
I don't either it's just unnecessary extra calories
I’ve been making puff pastry pizzas in the oven and they are epic!! I can’t wait to try it in the air fryer - and now I’m a little sad that we’ve been doing ‘too well’ on our meal planning resolution (meaning I have to wait to get these scheduled, lol!) 😂 Happy New Year and thank you for the fun videos!!
I was literally watching the airfryer playlist todayyyyyy
I absolutely looooooovvveeee the ice cream videos you've done in the past please do more! Also, I really want to see more cookies again.
Can not tell you how happy my kids were to see you try to make Pavlova! They have never had it but they seen it on Bluey and now we’re gonna need to try this recipe!!
Pavlova should be like a light fluffy marshmallow type consistency with a crispy outer shell. Wait for it to cool (or you can refrigerate) then add the whipped cream. Fresh cream whipped is better than canned because it’s not sweet and balances the very sweet pavlova shell. Then add the and strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and some passionfruit if you want that little bit extra. Definitely don’t add the cream while it’s warm as this does go in the fridge. Not bad though considering it’s your first go and done in an air fryer. Can you tell the Aussies in the comments? 😂
Pavlova weeps if you haven't fully dissolved the sugar.
As other comments have stated, whisk in sugar at a higher speed then keep whisking until it no longer feels gritty when you pinch a bit between your fingers.
It will taste good regardless of whether its cooked or mixed properly!
Aussie here - eaten and failed at a lot of pavlova. Watery usually means overbeaten. Which, watching this when you wandered off and Chris was chatting to you... good chance 😄 you did much better than most for your first go though.
I'm just now getting to watch the video and I am totally amazed at the mac & cheese!😯 I'm going to have to try that one for sure. As far as the pavlova it definitely needs to cook longer!😊 One last thing, what color are your nails? I really love that color and want to see if I can get mine done in that color!🩵 Happy New Year, love y'all!😊
Okay but now we need the chocolate mousse recipe and the non dairy French toast bake!
Air fryer tip--- cook with tinfoil or parchment paper under the food for easier clean-up. My two more recent air fryer favorites have been chicken shawarma (air fry 15 minutes at 400F) and chocolate chip cookies (air fry on parchment paper 10 minutes at 350, let sit 5 minutes.) For the cookies I used Nestle Toll House store bought dough for a quick craving 2-3 freshly baked cookies. The chicken shawarma I had with turmeric rice, cucumber slices, a quick pickled onions and tzatziki for that week's lunches.
I do that when I’m feeling lazy but I feel like it defeats the purpose of the air circulation 😅
@@blabhblajaleave a little space on the sides for air circulation. I have done it several times and it works perfectly. It saved me from having to clean chicken juices out of my air fryer when I made the chicken shawarma and cookie dough would've melted all over the air fryer without parchment paper.
When I use parchment paper in the air fryer I use the round parchment paper then I paper punch a bunch of holes into it for the air circulation.
Loved the video! On your question about the cream cheese bagel being good savory, ive been eating this savory for a while now and its my favorite snack lol. I put cream cheese on a toasted bagel then put hot sauce and cheese on top and air fry on 400 for 6 min! So good!!
Pavlova is delicious. You need to whisk the sugar in on med-high speed, stir speed is far too slow, the sugar wont dissolve and thats what created the puddle at the end and prevented it from drying out properly. You should try again though, its honestly amazing.
Croissant pizza hot pockets are a thing, Rachel 😂😂
My hubby got me the Ember mug and I’m obsessed! ☕️
What great ideas!! We just our first big snow of the winter in MI, and have about 6-8 inches of new snow in addition to 50 MPH winds. I can't go buy ingredients just yet, but once they plow my road I have to go get some puff pastry and some bagels. And I am with you two ways 1) yes, toasting and buttering the bagel is the non-serial killer way of consuming a bagel and 2) I think your idea of making 4 servings out of 1 bagel is sensible. I was thinking when I make it I would remove some to the bread and make a trench, but cutting it again makes much more sense. Thanks for the ideas Rachel (and Chris of course). Here's to fun in the kitchen in 2024!!
If you don't already know, oven temperatures can be calibrated! It was super easy to do on my oven, probably would be on yours too, if that turns out to be the problem.
I had never heard of Pavlova until I started watching Bluey with my grandson 😊 Thank you for giving it a shot, and to all the comments giving advice on how to improve it. Someday, I hope to make this with him ❤
I gifted myself an Ember mug and absolutely LOVING it!!
Happy new year from the other side of the world from Buenos Aires Argentina 😊
Two days before Christmas I got engaged to my high school sweetheart! Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday ❤
Oh wowzer those pizza turnovers and the mac and cheese turned out amazing, seriously incredible!
Really enjoyed this video all the recipe's were 🔥 Thank you!
I think the pizza one is brilliant! My son would absolutely love that! Also, ive never heard of pavlova until this video, seems interesting.
As a Kiwi I have a word to say on pavlova, I haven't seen how yours turns out, but my family just throws the ingredients in the KitchenAid, leave it whipping on high for 12 minutes, then chuck it in the oven for 2 minutes, turn the oven off and leave it alone! Works everytime baby
I see a lot of your gadgets like for example your cheese, grater and whipped cream can… I would love to see all your fun gadgets and tools for the kitchen. I would also love to see a video on how to sneak vegetables into meals for kids.
A fast easy evning snacks video👌🏼😋
I always love how you refer to Chris as a nice boy. ❤
My Christmas gift were those earrings you're always wearing, with 3 hoops. Couldn't be more happy 🎁
I want to eat all of these recipes--cheers to being all put together in the new year 2024
Pavlova is supposed to be dry and room temp when you eat it… so when you do eat it, it has aaaaalmost a chewy and also crunchy and fluffy texture all at once… so normally you let it come to full room temp after it being fully set and kinda dried out in the oven… it will be MUCH firmer and dryer and crisper than the texture of meringue on a pie. Hope that helps and you try it again :)
Would love to see u try dairy free recipes as I'm lactose intolerant. Maybe Chris can demo his dairy free/gluten free french toast casserole 😎👍
Also I'm with u on New Yrs resolutions...too much pressure & don't tell me I have to bc then I won't!
Chris is the perfect husband! Making extra chocolate mousse, how wonderful!
I always put butter on a bagel after it’s toasted! That’s the only way to go!!
THANK YOU!!
I don’t venture too far out cooking wise, but love watching Matty Matheson’s CZcams videos.
Thank you so much for this new video as always 🥰❤️ happy new year i wish all the best and thank your for staying with us during this tough 2023 ❤️❤️❤️🥹
My Christmas consisted of my 8 year old getting poorly and having a chest infection. She’s only just gone back to school. I gave birth to our 3rd child on Christmas Eve, my husband and middle child had the flu. Now everyone is starting to feel better, I’ve got pneumonia and almost had to go to hospital because my right lung is barely functioning 😢 my only resolution for January is to finally get to spend some time together as a family of 5.
You can put a thermometer inside your oven and that way you can adjust it until your oven is at the correct temp that will also help you gage what to really set your oven at !! Food for thought!!! No pun intended!! 😊 Happy new year girl!! Love your videos rach!!!
I ❤ just love Rachel
I work in IT and all of us in the office love mechanical keyboards. The most popular switches are browns, but I got an Epomaker (the one with the little TV you can customize) and chose the sea salt silent switches and they’re still clacky without being too much, especially if you’re sharing an office space with someone. It’s also hot swappable so I can change my switches without having to undo absolutely everything.
Happy to see ou back! No resolutions here, don't work for me haha
Can we get a "Chris takes control of your channel for a video" like he choose some stuffs to present and share with us like you do and you assist him ? Please^^
I made a french toast casserole with cinnamon raisin bread and put it in muffin pans, I froze the leftovers and have been reheating, so yummy❤
YESSSSS! I want to see some keyboard reviews!!
Love the Pizza puffs and I think the Pavlov needs to cook low and slow so it can dry out, it should be slightly crispy on the outside and a little chewy in the middle.
I got an air fryer for Christmas! So I’m over here taking notes! 😂
i did not have rachel talking about clacky keyboards and switches on my 2024 bingo card, but that made me extremely happy :) if you want that very satisfying thocc, i can't suggest invokeys matcha latte switches enough.
As an Australian, I love seeing people make & try Pavlova! Please try and make it again, as I can see you did make a few mistakes…
1. When whipping in the sugar, keep your mixer on high speed. Because you reduced the speed, I think it has pushed all the air out.
2. You shouldn’t be able to pour out the mixture - the way to test your mixture is stiff enough, is to be able to hold the bowl upside down over your head without the mixture falling out. You’re looking for a texture of like really stiff whipped cream (or shaving cream)
3. Pile the meringue high - this will ensure that the centre of the pavlova stays nice and spongy/marshmallow-y, and doesn’t harden the whole way through.
4. After cooking, turn your oven off and let your pavlova fully cool IN THE OVEN before taking it out. This will stop your pavlova from collapsing.
5. Serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Strawberries, banana, passion fruit, blueberries, raspberries and mango are all popular choices in Aus!
Have to say that January is lit so far 🎉
I've been heavily into watching keyboard modding vids. I am now the owner of a lavender and bright green mechanical keyboard. I haven't modded it yet, but I love having the colors that I want.
So excited for the upcoming RachLovesASMR keyboard channel 🤪
Lol, im over here yelling at the tv... NO BUTTER BEFORE CREAM CHEESE!
I find a hack which was to put a sauce bottle in your hand and mive your arm in a circular windmill action. Amazing it gets all the sauce to the squeezy section to use.x
Pavlova just reminds me of Christmas 😂 mum stressing in the kitchen and telling us to not run through the kitchen as kids or it would deflate hahah
The few times I’ve made pavlova, I’ve learned to let the merengue completely cool before removing it from the oven. That lets the exterior set with minimal cracking. Once decorated, serve immediately.
Where is Christopher‘s cooking show? I see him doing something similar to the guy that’s cooking through Julia Childs cook books. He’s Canadian too!
Everyone in my family says i"m weird cause i put butter on toast or bagels before anything else! I'm so happy I'm not the only one!!
can we have a video with some of Chris' top rated recipes? I'd love to see how you guys make some of the favourites (I'm sure you guys have a bunch of favs but a handful of them. Or make it a series if it becomes popular with others).
So did every Kiwi and Aussie see the pav and internally scream Nooooooo! 😂❤
Last place I expected to hear about custom keyboards lol but I’m here for it.🎉
Put butter on the bagel first then toast it in the oven on broil! Then put ur cream cheese on! Also my fav breakfast is toasting a bagel, frying an egg and making a sandwich with yes cream cheese instead of regular cheese. ❤
When maing pavlova add the castor sugar 1 tblsp at a time. It should take about 15 mins to add and beat in the sugar.
Rachel, I need you to make keyboard ASMR shorts asap. I think we all need it tbh.
Butter, always butter first!
Pizza bagels are always a classic!
I love your recipe testing videos, maybe if you could test some popular youtubers and or tiktokers recipes like Joshua Weissman and Ann Reardon - how to cook that, their recipes always look so good!
Your pav should be crunchy on top and marshmallowy on the inside. Like a meringue but better. You need to bake it low and slow. Like at 240 f for an hour and a half. When you put your meringue mix down, make it like a nest so you can fill the middle with yummy stuff. It doesn't need to be served immediately, but it does need to be stored in an air tight container if you aren't. Also, once done baking, leave it to cool in the oven. If you take it out too soon it will crack. It will probably crack anyway, but less likely to crack if it cools slowly.
For pouring in flour or other substances like that into Franny, just put it onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment and grab the edges to make like a hammock shape then pour into the mixer, makes it so you don't make a mess or pour too much in at the same time :) handy trick I learned when making banana bread.
For the mac and cheese, if you whisk everything but the cheese together first, the pour it over the cheese, you get a better consistency :)
As a New Zealander, the egg whites were just shy of being over whipped before you started adding the sugar. Cream of tartar goes in first to help the eggs whip and start adding sugar when the egg whites are foamy or soft peak. (And scrape the sides down if sugar is getting stuck there.) Pavlova is basically meringue, though maybe edging a little towards angel food cake with any cornflour added.
Don't let the egg whites stand once mixed. They start separating and you'll have a syrupy mess at the bottom of the bowl. Which also happens if the pavlova hasn't been baked long enough. Again it's morr like meringue than you think. But it can have a little bit of colour like oat milk compared to cows milk. But longer and possibly lower would have worked (at least in a normal oven it would). Weeping usually means its been taken out too soon and hasnt dried out properly (or that its humid)
I'm surprised she seemed confused about the recipe with the pizza on puff pastry since it's basically like a ham and cheese croissant and they're super tasty but maybe they're not as popular where she's from? A ham and cheese croissant is my go to breakfast item and you can do so much with them
