Cooking with an Air Fryer

[rotuts]

Scrapple cooks up easily in there AF :

 

 

 

 

 

Ive used the parchment paper as its easier removing the scrapple this way.

 

its true the underside is not ss crisp as the top

 

but still very tasty this way , and Low Fuss.

I'd like to bake or roast a swede (what I used to call a turnip), whole, in an air fryer.  Any advice as I don't want to have a go (not used it before) and have it go wrong.

[rotuts]

Google has some interesting ideas , for a starter :

 

https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=turups+in+an+air+fryer&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

 

 

any particular reason you want them whole ?

 

set the temp for 325 F  and you will get a more ' baked 'effect.

 

if you are looking for Turnip fryer , AKA french fries , slice them accoundingly

 

for more surface area and and crisper result.

[Susanwusan]

I just want to get it over with the easiest way possible before it gets too wrinkly.

[AlaMoi]

cut it into quarters.

doing the whole thing "intact" likely to result in way overcooked outer and raw inner....

[rotuts]

if you checked w Google first 

 

your turnip would be done by now .

[Susanwusan]

In that case, I might try cutting in two and scooping out the cooked vegetable.

So -- Someone locally (well, a half-hour drive from me) is selling a "rarely used" Instant Vortex Plus, the one with the rotisserie. They're asking $50, so I probably could offer $40. We sort of have the counter space for it, and I hate passing up a bargain, but I'm trying to figure out whether we'd actually use it enough to justify getting it. We usually don't eat frozen convenience foods, except for Amy's pizza. We might occasionally use the rotisserie for a small chicken. We roast vegetables regularly. Our friend who has the same model said she uses hers to toast bagels. (!) Our GE gas stove has an air fryer setting, although of course it's a much bigger space. We also have a full-sized Breville toaster oven but w/o a separate air fryer setting.

I love sausage .

 

Fz Jones sausages are quite good.   the king you cook in a traditional manner

 

the microwave versions are different

 

in the AF :

 

 

frozen.  sorry it's fuzzy.  sometimes my iPhone doesn't focus correctly , then it does , go figure

 

 

about 12 minutes ,  

 

 

the bad half of breakfast , and Soooooo tasty

 

sausages were crispy , juicy , a bit maillard-ey and outstanding .

 

so easy to cook this way , from Fz.

 

maybe way to easy .  ***  burp ***

I've never done that from frozen,  @rotuts. Looks way too easy!

This is my standard chicken drumsticks prep. Cheffed the tendons, deep cuts on the flesh as they were rather large pieces. Salt, pepper, ras el hanout, EVOO. 20 minutes at 200C.

Im a fan of Jone's pork product 

 

as above , Fz breakfast links 

 

and  Scrapple  and  american breakfast sausage , in the tube :

 

in the past Ive thawed the scrapple , it looks a bit like a brick

 

and AF'd it .  very nice   I had a Fz sausage tube  , so thought why not from frozen ?

 

 

using the SS chinese utility cleaver , a w HomeDot mallet  ( kinder on the finger tips )

 

 

the idea is to fit the rounds on the AF .  these were a little thick , as there was room for thinner

 

and 1 - 2 more rounds // AF session 

 

as the were thick , I tried AF 325 F for 8 minutes , but then boosted to 400 F ' until crisp '

 

 

the sausage was a bit over done , but quite tasty .  next time 400 F until crispy 

 

w a moister interior .

 

and from now on , Jones scrapple and sausage tube ( and links )  AF from Fz turns out 

 

quite tasty .

Ive had contractors in  for a few days.

 

Decided to get pizza , but the best placed here changes hands several years ago.

 

too a chance on another place here , and it turned out to b e the best pizza Ive ever had

 

save Pepe's NHaven white clam   and DeepDish in Chicago , at Uno's a long long time ago .

 

perfect crust thickness and flavor , sauce exceptional , and very heavy topings

 

had two left over slices  , and the contractors said : Use the AF :

 

 

Pepperoni , bottom  top Chicken Special Ranch 

 

CPR is chicken , bacon , ham.    Delicious is was initially

 

but AF'd un til crispy 

 

 

and w amendments , on the plate:

 

 

Green tabassco , TJ's green Hatch chili flakes , and a generous amount of EVOO ( one of a series from TJ's )

 

Initially this pizza is the best ive had.  after AFing

 

just as good or better , in a different dimension .

 

big trouble this is .  the Parlor is 7 minutes away.

@rotuts Consider doordash.  I hate having some random gavone handling my food, but....

[rotuts]

@gfweb

 

missing something here :  its only 7 minutes , or less away .

 

Too easy to get to .

 

after the contractors finish , Ill try a medium and see :  two slices of large is the perfect dose.

 

and two in the refrig for later AF'ing  completes the day .

 

Statin chaser , of course .
