Testing my Christmas Presents

[Bearcarver]

Testing my Christmas Presents


So we got this “Power Air Fryer XL” for Christmas, and a couple weeks ago, I got the Cheapo Fry Cutter, and they both needed some testing.
The Fry Cutter worked Great for $10.99,(Agri Supply), and the Hot Air Fryer worked Great on French Fries!!
Much more testing on other things to come.


Thanks,
Bear



Checking out how this thing cuts 3/8” Fries:

First Tater out the other side:

Two Taters worth of Fry Cuts, rinsed, soaked in cold water, patted dry, a little Olive Oil, Black Pepper, a Sprinkling of “Tony Chachere’s Salt FREE Seasoning":

Into the Hot Air Fryer, at 400° for 18 minutes, stirring halfway through:

Beautiful—Just right—Best Fries we ever made (Healthy Too):

Breaded Veal Patty Parmesan (By Mrs Bear):

I always wondered about hot air friers--whether the fries would be browned and crisp up or just soggy like nuked frozen fries.  Yours look great.  Might have to look into this further.

Bear That looks great I like the fact that you Peeled the taters,( No Tater Skins For Me) 

The Veal patties did you use the fryer for them?

I always wondered about air fryers because I don't have an oil fryer and probably never will. I have nothing against them, I love fried food and don't want to venture down that road.

Those fries look yummy. I could eat them everyday!

Jury's still out, but as for the Fries---They are Awesome!!!

I'll learn more when I get the recipe books I ordered.

It's a Pretty Neat thing---Easy to use, but I gotta learn a lot on times & temps, etc, etc.

Only Hot air gadget we ever had was a pop corn popper back in the 80's worked great just like it was supposed to,

Good Healthy Pop Corn  But then I would take it and pour butter over it and salt it. Kinda defeated the purpose for me.

I'll bet they have come a long way since then. Be waiting on Bears full report

The thing that's nice about the Fry Cutters is that most of the fries are exactly the same size---Makes them cook more evenly.

Thanks Richie!!

I don't mind skins on big old Steak Fries, but not on regular fries.

Mrs Bear made the 4 Patties in a baking dish in the oven. The Air fryer isn't big enough for that much.

Our Son gave us a big fancy Deep Fryer years ago, but we never used it much, so the oil would go bad, and we had to store it in a closet most of the time.

This thing uses no oil, and the Fries are Great, plus like I said I gotta learn other things to do with it.

And Thanks for the Points!

I though Bears hibernated in the winter and this one's still on the loose gaining its winter fat.

Looks good how crisp were the fries?

Brian have you seen the wings are they brown and crisp?
