    Hello, I would like little help with my new air fryer. It is Delimano air fryer touch. It has eight programs but on the box it says that it has diy function that allows the preparation of all other types of food. However, I can not find that function, there is no path on how to use it even in the manual. I hope someone can help πŸ™‚

    A friend got me an air fryer that has the racks and not the basket and I was at a loss as to how to make a lot of foods in it. After watching this video I learned that I can use the rectangular Pyrex baking dishes I’ve had for years. I’m really stoked about this! I’ll be watching more videos by Fabulessly Frugal now because I can make a lot of the recipes Cathy does in them.

    I learned from a pressure cooking channel to make a foil sling for easy to remove pans, works great for the air fryer also, or if you want you can buy silicone slings.

    I make a lasagna close to your but turned it into a skillet meal. one put together 20 min. But I like how you think. I haven't tried ground meat to just cook in air fryer thanks for the lesson. I use hot dog buns for hot ham and cheese sliders. They work good don't they.. I haven't tried cooking ground meat in air fryer but now going to try. Will be making the cow boy dinner. Looks so good. I am going to try a pizza pasta in my air fryer wish me luck. Thanks for more easy none heating up the kitchen and raising the electric bills dinners once again.

    Another idea for the "poor man's lasagna" is to use frozen cheese ravioli for the pasta/cheese layers! I make this all the time. Just a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish, then a layer of frozen ravioli, a layer of meat and sauce, repeat those two layers and top with mozzarella cheese before putting in the oven. It takes about an hour to cook in the oven since the ravioli is frozen, but it only takes a few minutes to put it together and it is SO easy and delicious.

    And now I need to go put some ham and cheese sandwiches in the air fryer for lunch, thanks for that idea! πŸ™‚

    Hi!!! I put can Pillsbury grand biscuits in my AF. Did them according to directions. The tops looks nice but when I took them out the bottoms were doughy. I turned them over and cooked more.

    Just a reminder: that spray bottle is sold in Australia and New Zealand under the "Decor" brand at supermarkets. I HIGHLY recommend it….it's an absolute game changer for airfryers. I have 3 – one each for rice bran oil, EVOO, and water (for baking bread).

    Also, my preferred oil is rice bran because it has a high smoke point and neutral flavour, and it's healthier than a lot of the alternatives. Alfa One is my favourite brand.

    I don't shop online, unless I'm just buying pre-packaged foods. I don't want someone picking out my fresh foods, as they don't know me and what I would look for. Plus, those people are touching stuff all day long and you don't know if they are clean employees or not. But thats me……..

    One super cheap casserole I used to make when I was really poor………….
    2 boxes of Mac and Cheese, cooked and drained. Set cheese packets aside.
    2 tablespoons of melted butter.
    2 tablespoons of milk. (you can use soup stock, water, or almond milk instead)
    Salt, pepper, spices to taste.
    2 cans drained tuna. (or chicken or ham, you can get from dollar stores now)
    1 can mixed veggies, drained.
    Leftover cheese in the fridge (grated, shredded, or chopped up small)

    Fold in all ingredients together, except leftover cheese, cheese packets, butter, and milk.
    Whisk together melted butter and milk. Then whisk in cheese packets until smooth.
    Fold into casserole mixture well. Place mixture into 8×8 casserole dish or 2 inch deep 8×8 cake pan.
    Place aluminum foil or lid over casserole and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
    Remove lid or aluminum foil, spread out leftover cheese on top of casserole, back uncovered for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees, or until top of casserole is to the desired color/consistency you prefer.

    This can make 6 small dinners/lunches for one, or 4 nice sized ones.

    Since I always have cheese, milk, and butter substitute in my fridge, I usually only have to buy the canned meat, Mac and Cheese, and can of mixed veggies. So I've got a nice casserole for $5.00 or less.

    Some alternatives can be…..
    Add a can of mushroom soup instead of milk and melted butter.
    Add some canned parmesan cheese to the mix for a more cheesy flavor.
    Add chopped mushrooms instead of meat or fish, or add extra veggies you might have in the fridge.

    Rather than poor man's lasagna it's actually pasta al forno(baked pasta). I make it quite often in the winter.. Some for now some for later.. Traditionally you can add chunks of pancetta, boiled eggs cut into bits, meat balls cooked in the tomato sauce first then put on the pasta before you put it in the oven. More ingredients mean the pasta goes even further and you can get 2 lots for the freezer and one for now!!!

    Grocery shopping online is cool, but the added price for either delivery or for them to pick it and put in ur car isn't enough of a trade off. Not to mention u better hope that they pick decent produce.

    My god the pasta was absolutely annihilated. You should keep back some pasta water in future to stop it becoming a clumped up mess.
