Air Fryer Testing

I promised I’d post some stuff when I get using this new Air Fryer, so here is a start.
This thing won’t take the place of Smoking or Grilling, but it works pretty good for small amounts of various things.
It’s also nice & warm in my kitchen, and with my Numb Leg & messed up arm, I don’t have to carry anything too far.
Just another toy for an old guy to play with.
The Fries are the best I ever had.
The Fresh Sausage was very Juicy & Tasty.
The Little Smokies are real good too, and will be Great with my Morning Eggs for awhile.

Sausages after 14 minutes of 360°—Flipped at 7 minutes:

A little BBQ sauce on a Steak Roll:

Threw some Hot Peppers on top:

Second Day I cut some Fries & soaked them in cold water:

Then Drained, rinsed, and Dried Fries. Sprayed lightly with Olive Oil
and Sprinkled some “Tony Chachere’s Salt Free” on them.
Then into the Air Fryer for 18 minutes at 400°—Flipped at 10 minutes:

Shook some Frank’s Hot Sauce on this roll first:

Then added the BBQ sauce, and plated my Sammy & Fries, all made in the Air Fryer:

One more experiment for the day. Some Little Smokys—2 batches, because I don’t want them stacked:

Set the Air Fryer at 390° for 5 minutes:

Both batches after Air Frying. (Should last me nearly a Week):

I have a buddy with one of these here and he loves it. Makes Potatoe skins and chicken wings all the time.
 
Man another idea that 's going to cost money like the idea of grease less food looks great. Can pass on the potatoes would be doing sausages and I see where Brian mention wings now that I could really go for.

Thank You Gary!!

Yup--All the grease goes through the bottom holes in the basket & accumulates in the bottom of the drawer.

And Thanks for the Points.

Thanks Brian!!

The first thing I did was Chicken Thighs, and they tasted like flour.

After reading a lot on the Web, I believe that was because I didn't spray a little olive oil on them. I'll be trying them again. We'll see.

All that food looks great Bear!!!

So is that the 3.4 quart or the 5.3 quart??

Really need to get one just ain't sure which one.

Mike
Hi Mike!

Mine is the 3.4 quart.

If you have an outlet that will handle it, I would definitely go with the 5.3 Quart.

Bear
 
I really don't know anyone who has one of the air fryers so I have not seen how things come out. Thanks for posting!
Thanks Brett !!

I'll be trying other things sometime.

Bear
 
I've seen them on TV & in the store.

Looks like a handy gadget to have around the house.

Al
