Second Fish Test with my Newest Toy
Last time I made a couple of Catfish Fillets in my New “Emeril’s Air Fryer 360”, as a request from another SMF Member.
Those Fish and the Tater Wedges came out Great, but the instructions were pretty lousy.
The time was too short, the Fish were on the Baking Pan, instead of the wire basket, and the Fan was not utilized the whole time. So at the end of that cook, I left myself some notes to try this time, and this time everything worked Great.
So This time:
I put the Breaded Fillet in the Wire Basket, flanked by 8 Tater Wedges, & sprayed a little Olive Oil on the Fillet.
The Tater Wedges were all rubbed with Olive Oil & sprinkled with the same rub I use on Pork, because last time Mrs Bear said there was too much Garlic flavor with my CBPOG.
So I set the Fryer @ 400° for 20 minutes, and everything came out Great. Everything was done & very juicy.
The Taters were completely done, even in the center, but Mrs Bear said they were too Spicy, so I told her to shop around at Giant & find something she might like, for next time.
The Catfish Fillet was Awesome, but was almost 190° in the center. It didn’t effect the quality, but next time I might check it a little sooner, like 15 or 18 minutes, instead of 20. I'd prefer closer to 160° IT.
So far I made the best Fried Chicken parts I ever had with this thing, and now I made Awesome Fried Catfish Fillets & Fried Tater Wedges, all without drowning them in Oil or Fat.
I have also reheated a few things, and made a couple of Pizzas.
So I’m liking this thing more each time I use it.
No I didn’t quit Smoking. (Meat that is)
Thanks Guys,
Bear
