Breakfast sausage in the air fryer

[radio]

I must say I was impressed! Well, except for the grease dripping and splattering making for a few minutes of clean up.
I cooked it at 400 degrees for 15 minutes starting on the middle rack, then about 10 minutes in, I flipped the patties and moved the tray to the top position as I have found it browns faster .
The taste was still great, but not swimming in grease like fried in a skillet. This thing just may help keep the 'ol arteries clear a while longer:D

I might have to get a couple of these things... one for the home and one at the lake. do they give of much heat when they are running like a regular oven?

Some, but are pretty well sealed and insulated, so don' raise the temp in the kitchen

That looks real good, but I'm looking forward to french fries!!!

I dont know it yet, but a little bird told me I am getting some sort of copper lined pan with a rack that is supposed to make baked fries/tots/poppers ets taste like they were fried.

I did a basket of crinkle cut fries last night, but didn't take a pic. I put them in the rotary basket and it worked well. They took a bit longer than onion rings, but definitely are not greasy! Hard to judge when they are at the "just right" stage as there is no light that stays on while cooking. I used a flashlight to check on them

But they come out crispy right, like real fried ones?

I guess this will be like the SV, where you have to play with it a while until you figure temps & times.

LOL, you forgot to include the picture. But i am sure thats what it is. :D

I am not sure why my wife thought that I wouldnt find out when she left it in the amazon shopping cart, but I will still act surprised even though she knows I know.;)

Yes, pretty crispy. Think I still like deep fried better . I have heard you can fill a spray bottle with cooking oil and spritz them lightly before baking and they are better. There is a pretty short time between "crispy" and TOO crispy! :eek: keep a close eye on things near the end of the cook!

Hey Radio,
How many Amps does that one take?

Typical Chinese made confusion! No amp draw located anywhere in the manual, or on the unit. It is tagged at 1,500 watts, but the advertisement lists it as 1,700. The 1,500 is plenty strong though

OK, I just wondered, because when I got my older model, I got the small one, because the 5.3 Qt was a little big for my 15 Amp circuit the kitchen counter outlets are on.

If I remember correctly, 1,500 watts draws around 12.5 amps

 

[radio]

Well, I can safely advise everyone to NOT cook onion rings in the rotary basket!:eek: as they thawed, they just slumped in to one big mess of breading and now UN breaded onion rings!!!

I've been trying to talk myself into getting one of these. The Cuisinart looks really interesting because it also is a convection oven and toaster oven, all in one. The reviews look pretty good.

Yup---That's why I got the 3.4 Qt.
The 5.3 Qt was too much for my lousy 15 Amp Kitchen counter outlets.

I know all types of construction except Electric, and I was here every day while my Log house was being built, but I didn't know enough about electric to know that the "electricians" were a couple of Screw-ups!!
Everything else is Great, and I helped with much of the Woodworking.

If the Romex feeding those kitchen outlets is exposed in a crawl space, or if you can easily see it somewhere else, check the rating printed on the outside. If it is 12 gauge, you can simply replace the circuit breaker with a 20 amp breaker. This is really easy to do. However, if the Romex is 14 gauge you are SOL and will have to live with it.

Thanks John!!
I'll look into it, but knowing the Jerks that did my Electric, they used the cheapest wire on the market.

BTW: I just watched a whole YouTube on that "Cuisinart TOA-60 Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Air Fryer."
And I wasn't impressed. Might want to watch that first.
