Hey There, Friends!
Sorry, I was MIA yesterday-we had family in town visiting this weekend and I just didn’t have time to get my post together. I’m BACK today for Tuesday Talk with Fancy Ashley. And let me tell you-I have some riveting discussion for you. This topic is definitely showing my age but it’s what’s been on my mind lately.
Can we talk AIR FRYERS?
In 2019, I bought an air fryer and once I started using it, I used it almost every single day. During virtual school in 2020, I made daily lunches with our air fryer. I LOVED it! But my only complaint was it wasn’t REALLY big enough for our family. There was a small accident {don’t ask me how this happened but Britt somehow sat on it and cracked the lid. i know. i know. no clue exactly why she was up there but that’s what happened.} and we got a new one around Christmas last year. I decided to try a more “oven” type of air fryer that would fit a whole lot more but after using it for approximately four months, it just feels like an oven. I don’t get that same “air fried” crispness from the oven air fryer that I got from the basket type of air fryer. And if it’s gonna air on the side of oven versus air fryer, then I should get it off my counter and just use the oven.
Which leads me to my questions…
WHAT AIR FRYER DO YOU HAVE?
HOW MUCH CAN YOU FIT INSIDE?
AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
In an ideal world, I’d be able to fit enough chicken breasts for our family inside at one time. Is this like finding Big Foot or catching a magical unicorn or is this really a possibility? I’m assuming that since my family of six is having this issue many of you might be out there looking for the same thing so please, help us out!
For the love of crispy french fries and tater tots, PLEASE SHARE!
In case you’re new to air fryers, I thought I’d include my favorite things to cook in an air fryer…all the sides-sweet potato fries, tater tots, cauliflower gnocchi, cauliflower pancakes, brussel sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes, baked potatoes. I’ve also used mine for protein which has been a little harder because of the size situation but chicken and salmon have both tasted great cooked in an air fryer. And then any quick meals that need to be reheated just taste a little better.
Thanks for helping, friends!
