My Air Fryer Adventures

[taxlady]

S-L-o-B, good point about the steaks. I certainly want my steak cooked a lot less on the inside than on the outside.

I just thought of two that get "cooked" from frozen. Frozen stuffed pasta. The pasta is still raw, but the filling is cooked. Also, some frozen meat pies, where the crust is still raw, but the filling is already cooked. But, I when I use those, I don't really think of it as cooking it.

Some people seem obsessed with the idea of cooking food from frozen. I don't get it. When I first got my Instant Pot, I joined a Facebook group about it and people were doing that all the time. I don't know how anything could cook evenly that way.

Those Instant Pot Facebook groups are full of crazy people! They’ll try to make their daughters wedding cake in their IP…

Yup. I left when someone asked how to cook a ribeye in the Instant Pot

 

[GotGarlic]

Yes, my statement about cooking from frozen was too broad, I admit it [emoji38] You'll understand when I explain that people in that group were wanting to cook a whole chicken or several chicken thighs from frozen. That's what I had in mind. The IP is a great appliance for some purposes, but it's not for everything [emoji38]

OMG... you've all got me chuckling! But I guess .... you can't fix stupid.

It looks like thaat frozen stuffed turkey is only available in Canada. You guys get all the good stuff. NOT FAIR!

I saw this at Trader Joe's yesterday

Not sure how it's cooked though.

And the $200 Christmas prime rib roast

Call me a glutton for punishment!



I thought we'd try a different brand of Egg Rolls in the AF for our lunch today.

Again, mushy...



But I think I see the problem here.
The wrapper is far too thick to get it cook completely,
either in the Oven or the Air Fryer... IMHO anyways.
The filling is fine, it's that Pei! It's just too much.
We did finish off that box of 8 Egg Rolls though,
with 3 different dipping sauces

I was watching a You Tube video and this self proclaimed AF expert was going on about cleaning her air fryer with Dawn Powerwash ...

(photo credit dawn.dish.com)
I picked a bottle up at our local Wally-World to try it...
It did okay.
Normally I simply plop the AF basket in the automatic dishwasher, but it takes up so much room.
With this stuff it was spray, wipe, rinse.
I'm guessing that with regular use, the stuck on residue from previous uses will desolve.
Has anyone tried this product?

Dawn came out with a like product around 2004. Worked great. Then stopped making it. Dawn came back with a similar product around 2014. Was good but not great. Now Dawn once again has reinvented itself with this Powerwash and Dawn dish soap out performs it.

Kroger had stuffed frozen turkey around 2010. Was a total Zero sales!!!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

By accident, I wound up cleaning the kitchen sink with the Dawn Powerwash while spraying down the AF basket in the sink ... it did a fabulous job!!!
No disinfecting component to it but I could always mist the sink with some watered down bleach, which I do alot anyways.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I just finished up another all Air Fryer meal ... went to clean out the basket ... it WON'T RELEASE!
DAMN IT ALL!!!
This thing isn't even 2 years old yet and it's dead in the water!
I've tried everything ... I'm p.o'd!!

My stuck-on food fell off along with the paint.

So, this should be arriving on Monday:

https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Touchscreen-Customizable-Programs-Stainless/dp/B08R6KMBQT/ref=sr_1_2?crid=24GOO6MGW6FQW&keywords=instant+pot+-+4qt+vortex+4+plus+air+fryer&qid=1680038316&sprefix=instant+pot+4qt+vortex%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-2

Yes, it's only a 4 quart capacity, but the dead and buried previous AF was 2.75 qt. I didn't think that 6 quart for us two was warranted.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

So this beauty arrived today ...

I have big plans for you my lovely!

< she toddles off to get the party started >

HEY!! Now wait just a cotton-pickin'-minute here!
The dang thing is missing a part, the non-stick cooking tray that goes into the basket and you put the food on to cook, damn it all!!!

I had my mouth all set (or in Hawaii-Speak, "I'm so ono for...") for Steak Frites.
That ain't happenin'!

I spent 45 minutes on hold for a Live online chat agent to get that missing part and then another 55 minutes with back and forth... bottom line: it's on the way via UPS Ground aka it'll be a little while.

 

[dragnlaw]

ono.... oops sorry mis-spelled that OH NOOO!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

@dragnlaw In the Hawaiian language, words have multiple meanings, sometimes several.
Ono:
tasty or delicious or the name of a fish or in this case using the verbiage, "I'm so ono for..." meaning I'm so hungry for ..., I want to eat ... " or "My mouth is watering for ..." you get it...
