sharke, I am so intrigued about air fryers now. I was in Goodwill and saw one. It was a Philips. I got excited until I saw the $70 price tag.

Well, they sold a Gazillion air fryers. All the Facebook air fryer groups bought them. If anyone still wants one-Evine has a big Cook's Companion air fryer with a better warranty-jus sayin.

@HonnyBrown wow, I never see these types of appliances at my Goodwill. Those Philips fryers are expensive but I agree $70 is a tad high.

I thought they were 99 as a TSV Sunday ?

I got a Nuwave probably does the same thing.

Yes, they were 99. I saw a presentation around 5pm and 4 of the colors were sold out.

mtc, my mouth fell. For a Philip's, the price was great; but not so much for Goodwill. I can get one new from Targe, a different brand, for much less. I'm waiting for them to come to Aldi.

Tee hee @HonnyBrown I mentioned this on another thread . . . I am waiting for the Aldi version if they have a larger version as I purchased one of the original models and it is small (which is fine but I would like the opportunity to make larger things like a turkey breast) . . . .

Aldi's have the large convection round cookers (like the big nuwaves) right now. They were last week's special I think - so they may still have some. My Aldi's still had some yesterday. Also had some enamel coated cast iron

Hmmm, I finally broke down and bought a Phillips last night from Bed Bath and Beyond (had a 20% coupon, which decreased the price by $50). I figured that buying it locally might be a bit more expensive, but I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or if I'm going to have problems with it and I like the idea of just running down to the store to return it if need be (instead of having to have it shipped back).

I had to order it and it will be shipped to me at my work. I should have it next week.

I'm really intrigued by the whole air frying thing and I love playing around with kitchen gadgets. I'm hoping that I enjoy playing with this one.

Could you please have one of the air fryers in yellow. You have so many other colors but not yellow!

One of the reason I buy from shopping channels is the ease of returning. I've encountered one too many stubborn clerks who make it their life's work to not give me a refund.

I am up in the "air" with Air Fryers.....I have the Todd English 5 something qt, and no matter what recipe time I follow, including the Chicken Fried Chicken from here, it just always comes out over cooked and hard as a brick bat....I just can not get this learning curve down yet, so I am not enjoying the "air fry" boat yet...My boat just keeps sinking...

Re: Air Fryer

PamelaSue72 — Fri, 12 May 2017 22:06:24 GMT

We have tried stuffed mushrooms, several kinds of wings, frittatas (I bought 6-inch cake pans from the A), pork chops, pizza, "fried" chicken, French fries, hasselback sweet potatoes as well as white potatoes, salmon, my own meatballs (not store-bought), all kinds of foods. I'm using Meredith's Air Fryer book as well as several air fryer websites from Pinterest. Just got a new AF cookbook, The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook (again from the A) and I'm working my way through it.

Those little 6-inch pans are just perfect for a frittata to split between DH and me.

I am having a bit of trouble with a chocolate cake done in the air fryer, but I'll keep working on it.

We just love our air fryer.

Sounds like your over cooking. I cook salmon filets in mine 5-6 min on 1 side and flip then cook 5-6 on the other. Baste with butter both sides by the way. Not dry or raw. salt and pepper

Hey Forrest!

I can't make the all on the air fryer cooking, as I have not jumped on that bandwagon (I have pots and pans), but it sounds like sharke is right that they are over-cooked.

But I wanted to remark on the chicken fried chicken (I love this so much!) - I just put a sliver of butter in a pan on medium heat with a few drops of olive oil (just to keep the flash point up) and once pan is warm, in goes the chicken fried chicken - few minutes on one side, just to brown it (it's already cooked) and few minutse on other side. Small pinch of kosher salt & little freshly ground pepper on just one side. Done and done. I thaw them out first, of course. HTH

I have had a CE Air Fryer for over a year now and use it at least twice a week to cook cut-up chicken. I just roll it in bread crumbs and cook a large breast of chicken for about 25 min on 360 and it comes out perfect. I do flip it over about half way so both sides brown. It is delicious.

I thought the air fryers were ridiculous for me since I cook only for myself and can't have French Fries, etc. When Eric had the TSV a month or two ago, I fell for it. I am using it 4 or 5 times a week. Did boneless chicken thighs coated with panko, make open-face grilled cheese, burgers, steak, lamb chop and best of all baked potato without heating up large oven. Going to try a mix of 3 or 4 vegetables tonight with just a little olive oil and seasonings. This is the first time I'm using any oil.
