let's go let's talk about some tips before you start air frying number one make sure that your fire basket is clean there's nothing worse than preheating your air fryer only to discover there's still some food inside number two never preheat your air fryer with parchment paper inside it's just gonna blow up into the burner and you don't want that speaking of parchment paper you don't have to use it in your air fryer i love to any time i'm making something that's extra messy however you have to make sure you have enough food on it to hold it down so it doesn't go up into the burner so two viewers j palm and velda e they shared the hack of placing small heat safe magnets in the corners to keep the airfryer parchment paper down lilda pointed out that you'll want to make sure you use the ones that are made from ferrite another option set a small rack on top of the parchment paper to hold it down number four many viewers suggest lining underneath the basket with foil that's going to create a really quick and easy clean up with messy foods and christina pointed out that the reynolds wrap pre-cut squares fit great underneath the basket and you can find them at dollar tree thanks for that tip kristina are you trying to find a recipe that you saw me make on youtube it's most likely in my cookbook at yummyairfryerrecipes.com but you can also find it again on youtube just come to my channel while you're on your computer click on that little search bar right down there on my channel page and put in some keywords of what you're looking for the video will come up and of course i always use that chapter feature because i want you to better find the portion of the video that you need the most number six to save a little time when you're cooking up those root type vegetables you can parboil them either on the stove or the microwave first then you finish them up in the air fryer so you still get that yummy crispy texture number seven yo get creative with your proteins yes you can do wet marinades you can do dry rubs or you can try things like these smoked salts they add an awesome flavor punch to your protein by the way i have a coupon code and links to everything that i talk about down in the video description below now let's talk about tips for when you're air frying number eight fail faster what just start using your air fryer get it out of the box get past that learning curve you're never gonna figure it out if you don't even start trying only there was someone on youtube that had like more than 100 recipe ideas oh wait that's that's me yeah check out my channel if you're new here number nine start with something that's less expensive something that won't break the bank if you totally botch it and burn it and can't even eat it maybe try a frozen hamburger patty or a bag of french fries or some chicken wings number 10 i'm quoting richard here don't take the times and temperatures in the manual or on the presets as being gospel end of quote if you're testing out a recipe for yourself i recommend just starting a little bit lower with that cook time and then just add on from there now if you're using my airfryer cookbook or watching one of my videos and you have the same kasori airfryer that i do you can probably just stay right with the same time if you're using an airfryer that's different from the one i'm using my recipes will still work you just might need to change the time by a few minutes give or take number eleven don't be afraid to just open the air fryer and check on the food most air fryers will turn right off when you open it or you can press the pause button which leads me to number 12. use an instant read thermometer i don't even know why i have so many i just do and then use these along with my free temp guide that will tell you the internal temperatures for baked goods and meats so you can cook your food to perfection every single time but you want to know how to up level it even more if you're cooking larger cuts of meats that are going to take like longer than 10 minutes consider using a meter thermometer it is awesome for large roasts turkeys pork tenderloins a whole chicken all those things that take longer to cook through and by the way if there's someone in your house that loves to use their smoker or their grill this is awesome for that too not only will you be able to see the internal temperature of the meat while it's cooking you can even see what the ambient temperature is right inside of the air fryer and that is pretty fun especially if you love data and down in the video description box below i have a special link that will get you an extra 10 off from meter number 13 never ever ever ever set your air fryer on the stove if your burner accidentally gets turned on and it's been known to happen not only is your air fryer toast your stove top but it's gonna be pretty sad too just don't do it number fourteen instead of using sprays that are full of chemicals and propellants that are gonna ruin the inside lining of your airfryer basket use a spray bottle and fill it with your own healthy clean oil as long as it has a high smoke point you can use it i always use avocado oil and this is the one that i've been currently using now when i very first started making youtube videos i was using this spray bottle it cost me about 25 dollars and it was fine in the beginning but after a couple months it started streaming so then i moved on to the misto and that one worked out great for a while but then it got to the point where i had to wash it a lot and run water through the whole system otherwise it was streaming and clogging and i wasn't liking the result there so thankfully viewer john he's the bomb.com he told me about this one i've been using this one for about six months now which is longer than when i was using the other ones and i really like it number 15 is your airfryer smoking because of fatty foods put about a quarter cup of water or one slice of bread underneath the basket to absorb all of the fat and stuff that's dripping off problem solved number 16 you got flying food use toothpicks or a wire rack to keep food secure number 17 are you cooking some cheeseburgers sandy shared this great tip that i love when the burger is done cooking place the cheese close up the air fryer and just let it sit for a minute or two cheese will melt perfectly and it won't slide off number 18. are you air frying food that's delicate or maybe hard to lift out of the basket use the foil sling just make sure you fold it so there's enough room to have some airflow on the sides then when the food is done just lift it on out number 19 reheating leftovers we all know how amazing food turns out when we reheat it in the airfryer i'm talking things like pizza anything that's breaded french fries even chips but what about those nice cuts of meat that you got from the restaurant the night before you might be really worried that the airfryer is going to dry it out so here's my tips for amazing results first of all let the food sit out on the counter it's going to just kind of bring it closer to room temperature and even things out next preheat the air fryer we want it nice and hot because we're only cooking for small little increments of time then place the food inside set it to 370 degrees and run it for about three minutes after three minutes check the temperature rotate it maybe give it two or three minutes more if there's sauce or cheese to add do that like the last minute of cooking it's gonna vary depending on how thick your meat is and like how much food there is so keep an eye on it and when it's ready it's gonna taste amazing number 20 when you're done using your air fryer for the love of pete please clean it no it's not hard to do and then your house won't be stinky so just get her done 21 use dawn power wash now i have a whole cleaning video right here but the more i've used this the more i have absolutely fallen in love with it for just maintenance cleaning once your airfryer has cooled down pull the basket out wipe out the food chunks wipe out the grease then spray some of this on there and let it sit don't add water just let it sit for about 10 minutes and then wash it all off and the basket should be sparkling clean number 22 get a damp paper towel and once the air fryer has cooled down wipe down the heating element make sure it's cooled down and just the inside with that damp paper towel it's going to save you a lot of headache later and seriously can be done in about 15 seconds number 23 you're ready for a little bit more of a deep clean use a magic eraser it works fantastic on the inside of an airfryer this is seriously after one cleaning yes number 24 after washing out your basket just pop it in the airfryer and run it for a few minutes to dry it it's easy and quite frankly very effective number 25 comes from louise if you feel like your airfryer basket has passed the point of no return rather than tossing the entire airfryer look and see if your manufacturer will sell just the basket and bonus tip from many people get a second airfryer of course wait till they are on sale and guess what i have recently acquired several different brands of air fryers i'm doing a mega comparison video coming up soon did you learn something hey don't forget about my five day air fryer challenge
