Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38]

I got an air fryer this year, and I definitively recommend it. It was cheap, I paid 350 reals (roughly 70 euros). In some cases the food is really similar to deep-fried food, but the biggest appeal of the device is as a small but powerful oven - specially for stuff like
- chicken wings - they turn out wet but well cooked, with a crispy outside
- reheating stale bread - pat it with a bit of water, then plop it in the air fryer.
- frozen potato fries - as he mentions in the video they get damn great
- milanesa - it doesn’t get identical to deep-fried milanesa but it’s really good, and way better than doing it in the oven.
If looking for a model make sure to get one with a detachable false bottom, otherwise you’ll get the problem andrewta mentioned and won’t be able to clean it right.

My dude… Get ready for some more great suggestions…
Reheating Pizza
Cooking salmon or any kind of fish really. Suggest panko breading
Same goes for pork chops. Go with the thick ones - they get wonderfully crispy but very juicy inside
BACON!!!
Roasted potatoes - make sure to cut them into larger chunks than you usually do

Reheating greasy/fried foods alone makes these things worth it imo. Im no detractor of cold pizza but its just not necessary anymore, this shit is magic

Agreed. Only way ive found to reheat fries from a restaurant. used to just leave them if i couldnt finish them.
We got take away a few weeks ago, and the fries were already soggy by the time we got home. Think i popped them in for like 3 mins or something and they were seemingly fresh again
