So I tried my new air fryer last night. I'm a little disappointed, I thought it was going to be so awesome. So I tried fries first, followed the directions exactly didn't do anything wrong, it came out okay, some of them were really hard and some were kind of not soft enough like they are in the oven. I was surprised, the first one I bit into was just hard and crunchy and I was like I thought I was going to be more impressed. I don't get it, and I was going to do a different meal that I bought tonight in there but now I'm scared it's going to mess up my food
I would put less in the basket. That's the one drawback of air fryers, if the food doesn't get the hot air circulating around it, it doesn't cook right. It's great for small batches.
@ladyfreyja I wouldn't even attempt an air fryer with a crowd to feed that big.
@jujum my problem with the shaking is the whole basket is full of fries there's not much shaking I can do
@ksmommyx3 well I did shake it halfway through, I mix them up with tongs because there's so many in there I could barely get them to move. And I put the whole one pound bag in there like it said to do. Oh I also used a liner so I don't know if that's good or not, they have holes liner. They're actually made for air fryers. So I don't know if I shouldn't use those maybe
Yes try less fries next time.
