    Hi, it was a religious experience trying to narrow down the best air fryer and tips and your channel has been an absolute gift from the gods. I used all your affiliate links to get my air fryer and it's accessories but I can't seem to find a grill plate like the one you used for your chicken.

    Have you before made sesame seed balls filled with red bean paste? If so please let me know what video of yours to look for please. It's basic mochi filled with sweet red bean paste rolled in sesame seeds and deep.fried. I'd love to use my air fryer, less oil.

    Grilled chicken recipe your linked is not for the air fryer. How long and at what temp should I cook skewers of the chicken rather than the whole breasts. I am a beginner but, thanks to you, I am learning fast!

    Well, that was an easy answer to your question…I've tried 0 out of the 15 you have just shown lol … My wonderful boyfriend bought me a Ninja Foodie air fryer/grill etc and I'm loving the whole new way of cooking now. I'm just starting to watch your videos and will be trying these in my Foodie, I believe they should cook the same right?

    Yes , I just did my butterscotch pudding in the airfyer. Must say cuts down time at cooking it, because don't have to wait for the oven to heat up – just stick it in the airfryer and let it go for about 25 minutes of

    I used to be a baker/cake decorator. I found people love my cheesecake crust more than the cheesecake. All I did was add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some fresh ground pecans to the mixture. If you REALLY want to sass up your cheesecake crust…….use brown sugar and melt it in with the butter, then add a sprinkle of All Spice.

    You have to remember………….an air fryer is just a mini-convection oven!!! Whatever you can do in a regular sized convection oven, you can do in an AF/AF oven!! You aren't limited by your imagination……..you are only limited to your portion size!!!

    One thing you can do also…….this works well if you have that loaf of bread that is on the verge of going bad, or has dried out some. Instead of throwing it away, you can make croutons or "melba toast" out of it!!

    Croutons – cut up your bread slices into 1×1 inch squares. Place them all on a flat cookie sheet. Lightly spray them with oil, don't saturate them. You just want them "wet" enough to have your next step stick. Sprinkle some dry, packaged Ranch Dressing over the bread cubes now. You can really use any dry dressing seasoning you want, or any seasoning you like for that matter.

    Place enough bread cubes in the bottom of your AF to cover it. Bake at 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip or toss the cubes so the other side gets dried out…..for another 5 minutes. If they aren't crunchy enough for you…..continue to bake at 200 degrees for ONE minute each until they get to the crunch level you desire.

    If you have an AF oven with racks, then you won't have to worry about turning them or flipping them. And you can fill up your racks with as many cubes as possible. Just be sure to rotate the racks every few minutes, because the top rack will bake the fastest and bet burnt before the others dry out.

    For "Melba Toast" – just use your extra gadgets or racks to put in your flat pieces of bread, as many as you can. Again, dry them out at 200 degrees for 5 minutes…..also continuing until you get your desired crunch level without burning them.

    If you have an AF that cooks a bit fast or gets a bit extra hot while cooking, you can drop the temp from 200 to 100 degrees…..or as low as your heat gets.

    Now some AF's and AFO's have food drying capabilities. You can use this to dry out your bread for your croutons or "Melba Toast".

    Once your croutons or "Melba Toast" is done and completely cooled down, you can put it in an airtight container. I've saved a lot of "dough" (ha ha) using these methods on old loaves of bread!!!

    Croutons are good for stew, soup, salad, or just as bites for a quick snack.
    "Melba Toast" is pretty hard, but it's good for when you just want a quick piece of toast without dragging out the bread and toaster. Also good for something to nibble on when you have an upset tummy or need to take food with a medication.

    And, this works for ALL types of bread!!! Depending on the type of bread, you might have to adjust the heat to a bit lower.

    And for you fishermen out there……….PLAIN stale bread croutons are GREAT for attracting fish!!! Scatter some on the water to attract some fish! Fish LOVE bread. Hopefully it works for you, it did for me!!

    Going to the park or lake with the kids? PLAIN dried out croutons are also great for feeding ducks, geese, and birds of all sorts.
