air fryer
-
Best thing to get is an oil mister. I mist everything with a little olive oil before air frying. Makes a big difference of how crisp things turn out. But it also adds oil but not near as much as deep frying. You will learn over time how fast yours cooks. Mine cooks everything in about 1/2 the time most recipes say it should take.

craigrice I bought one and hardly use it. Like twilliams mentioned, it will cut some oil and fat, making a healthier option for someone needing less fat in their diet. It does OK on frozen prepackaged stuff. It takes some experimenting to get fresh foods to taste decent in them. They are great for apartments, campers etc. As Grimpuppy said, use a oil spray bottle. I use light olive oil on fresh vegetables and season them. From what I understand each machine cooks a little different.

After a night at the bar, some pizza rolls in the air fryer are literally the best thing ever.
My wife uses ours quite a bit. It’s on the smaller side, and she wants a bigger one, but we enjoy it. I can’t say I really ever use it though, outside of 2 am, that is.

craigrice I use ours at home to do fries, nuggets and anything else I want to cook in a “fried-style” without frying it. It’s not going to mimic deep-frying perfectly but it can be a lot healthier than deep-frying sometimes is. If you make fried chicken in it I suggest using the thighs as they have enough fat in them to sort of crisp up a little.

Have an air fry toaster oven. I think it works good for fries and tater tots, takes longer but heathier without all the oil so I think it is worth it. Tried chicken thighs with Chicken on the Run, turned out good but the fat from the chicken causes a lot of smoke, even with the fat trimmed. Now I coat them with chicken on the run and grill them, wife and I like the seasoning. I haven’t tried it with nuggets or things like that but I would assume it would work good.

Mine sets off my smoke alarm on a regular basis, even when there is no visible smoke.

when I do chicken wings I coat them with captains bay seasoning and bake or deep-fry and season so the air fryer will be an option that is healthier than the deep fryer the taste of the wings are similar to the taste that we use to get at a place we lived in PA add fries and gravy its all good

craigrice I love the Captain’s Bay seasoning, I was always a big Old Bay person but I recently ran out of the captains and tried to replace it with old bay and it was annoyingly salty. I probably just used too much though.

Jonathon Yeah, a few years ago I think they upped the salt content in Old Bay and in my opinion ruined it

glen Okay, awesome, I was questioning my memory when I didn’t like it as much but now I know! We used to take Maryland Blue Crabs, steam them, then clean them and split the bodies in two and let them sit in olive oil garlic and parsley mix. Then we’d have huge piles of Old Bay that we would drag them through before eating them. Man, I loved that!

That sounds delicious! I love crab but am intimidated about breaking down anything other than King or Snow crab -

Jonathon As long as I get to eat it as well!
