Thank you for treating us to a blog on your trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the first installment and am looking forward to the next one. -
Question: I have never used osmotolerant yeast. What makes it different from non-osmotolerant yeast? Is something added to it?
-
Funny you should mention that. I made Blueberry scones the other day. The recipe called for salted butter and I only ever use unsalted butter so I made a mental note to add some salt. When we had our first one, it tasted flat, that is when I realized I had forgotten the salt.

Love beef cheeks. Just ordered 6 of them. -
I had it in the air fryer for 50 minutes @ 350F on roast. It was really good, but the poor wings were a bit, a lot actually, overdone. I think 45 minutes might have been enough.

Those tarts look amazing. I love Portuguese tarts. I've copied the recipe so I can make them. I'm doing sweet potatoes right now and they will be followed by a whole chicken. Hope they turn out.

You certainly have a way with words!

Has anyone ever made granola in their air fryer?
-
Are there any air fryer accessories that would be handy to have?

I bought the Instant Vortex Plus 6 in 1. The Plus (I think) refers to the window in the drawer and the odor filters. I like naked wings too except for the LA Cage wings at Costco. If you are near a Costco Business Centre they sell fresh 6/10 wings which are larger than the grocery store wings.

Yes, this is the new one. I received it last Sunday. I had borrowed my sister's, she has a Corsair.

I've been having fun with the air fryer. I cooked a pork tenderloin the other day and have also made grilled cheese sandwiches a few times for lunch. I do those on broil, and they are fantastic. I'm keeping track of the temperature, times and settings I've used as well as other people's who have posted theirs.

Welcome back, Scoop! I've missed you.
-
Yes, I did have a look. I actually looked at it when I first started thinking about buying one as my toaster isn't doing a very good job these days. In the end, I decided I wanted the basket type. I too, am looking forward to seeing @Dejah's experiments.
-
@Dejah at what temperature did you cook your lamb chops and for how lomg? Also, what cookbook do you have and would you recommend it?
-
Maybe, but I'll have fun doing it. I need some of that in my life right now.

It could also be that the problem lies with the egg. I am lucky enough to get eggs directly from a farmer. Since they are not sorted by size, I get a variety of same. My eggs range from 45 grams to over 80. I had one that was 93 grams. A bruiser, that one was. Once I get my own air fryer (tomorrow Amazon tells me) I will experiment by size. I am glad you mentioned doing them this way, it is just such a no-brainer. I really like hard boiled eggs so it's no hardship.

Just cooked a hard "boiled" egg in the air fryer. I was going to use @Anna N's setting which is 275F for 15 minutes but the fryer I'm using only adjusts the temperature in 10 degree increments. I set it for 280F for the same 15 minutes which was a couple of minutes too long as the yolk had that band of blue around it. Sure is a handy way to get a hard "boiled" egg.

What I meant was, I already had them before you suggested it.

I did up chicken wings last night with nothing more than salt, pepper and a touch of oil. I did these at 400F for 20 minutes with a couple of turns. We thought they were just about perfect. Nice and brown and crispy. I had made some Buffalo sauce and even after I sauced them they stayed crispy. That is a definite winner. I have tried chicken wings in the BSOA and they never came out crispy, plus they stuck to the basket. I am now trying to decide what I can air fry for dinner. I spent a lot of time Thursday looking at air fryer videos. Those videos are time gobblers but I did enjoy looking at them. I came across a couple of bloggers who blog about them. That needs further investigation.

I called the Instant people earlier today. When I asked if the fan speed was reduced on dehydrate mode he said no. So, if I put a flower petal in there, the fan would not move it, I asked. That's right, he said. To make a long story short, I still don't know what happens to the air speed on that setting. He kept assuring me that whatever was in the fryer "would not blow up". Huh? I ended up ordering the Instant Vortex with the window and odor filter. My decision came down to the Instant or the Cosori and the Instant won by a hair. I did do frozen fries last night at 400F for the recommended 15 minutes but they weren't all crispy so I gave them another 5. Still some not so crispy ones but better. I think my basket was too full. Doing plain chicken wings ronight.
