Well, my mom got us an air fryer.
Another appliance.
Have I mentioned Steve's hatred of appliances?
He thinks many of them are useless.
He fought me on my Ronco Rotisserie for years before I actually got one.
And let me tell you, the prime rib I've made in that thing? So worth the fact I only bust it out basically once a year at Christmas to make said Prime Rib (I will do a separate, holiday cooking post).
In the beginning though, I did roast a chicken about once a week. It was great having cooked chicken ready to include with any weeknight meal.
ANYWAY.
My mom insisted on getting this air fryer for us.
Last year she insisted on getting us the Instant Pot.
She's always "with" the fads. LOL.
I was kinda like "eh" with the air fryer.
Steve's sister has one and last Christmas told us that we'd use it, how much she does etc. etc. I still didn't run out and buy it.
So it arrived and I have used that thing every. single. day.
First of all.
Mom's egg rolls are LEGIT in that thing. Once you fry them and freeze them, you can't microwave them (no matter what Steve might tell you). You HAVE to reheat in the oven to get the outside crispy. And we know how I am with crispy.
Well, turn that bitch on to 400 degrees, put whatever into the bin and put the timer to like 7 minutes.
Ding!
Perfectly, crispy, hot in the middle delicious fucking egg rolls/French fries/hashbrowns/vegetables/etc.
So good!
I made crispy baby potatoes in the air fryer the other day. Super simple and easy to use and the end product was so good.
I got a super simple version. You can get fancy with digital controls, etc. but we just went with simplicity (and reasonably priced).
Salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, olive oil. Tossed around and then placed into the air fryer. I turned it on to 400 degrees and set the timer for about 15 minutes. I think it took about 10-12 before they were done! Sorry I don't have an after pic. They were amazingly delicious, crisp and tender inside.
I am going to try some zucchini. Will report back.
