The Air Fryer topic

[rotuts]

tow items , from TJ's , from frozen 

 

 

right out now the freezer :TJ's Tots, TJ's fish Nuggets 

 

at the same time :  400F , from cold// frozen , AF

 

I wanted to see if both worked together , as its very clear 

 

both are superb in the CSO , and AF,

 

 

set machine : 400F , 20 min. start.

 

I check earlier as I knew 20min was way too long.

 

checked at 10 minuts , pulled at 12 min.   everything looked good , and there was some sizzling.

 

 

F.N.'s did puff up , but could puff up more

 

the TT were crispy ,light-crispy :  thin crust

 

and the potatoes were cooked , and hot

 

so , next time , perhaps 2 minutes more

 

each component would benefit , in their own way

 

and they both AF well , together , from Fz.

 

not in anyway greasy :  a dry , light crispy-ness

 

sauce was simple Mayo.

 

this time.

You must know some secret I don't.  Last night I AF'd 10 frozen panko-breaded prawns in the Breville, and it required multiple tray and morsel turns to get somewhat even results.

 

Breville acknowledges this in their instructions, and that's why they included a "turn reminder" feature.

 

Have you noticed the AF function almost always takes longer than recommended on the food packaging?  These prawns were supposed to bake 8-10 minutes at 400F;  I had to AF them for at least 15 minutes at the same 400F to turn them brown.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have the Breville.

 

Do I have a newer model - or do I put less fries on the tray?  I've pre microwaved fries and put them on frozen and I can't go too long or I burn them.  Prawns are bigger so maybe that's why.

A recall in Canada - whereas US owners should/should not be concerned?

Insignia is like Kenmore, I believe; they don't manufacture anything themselves. Given that, I'd be surprised if there aren't air fryers under other brand names that have the same issue...
