Steaky things do surprisingly well in air fryers. If you marinate them in something with a little sugar it develops a really satisfying crust for not much effort.
I am upvoting simply because you are honest enough to say that this is a sponsor in the first 5 seconds. Thank you. And also, I have only heard good things about air fryers in general so far.
I'm not a fan of airfriers but, they cycles on/off so not continuous 1700W, that's the max. Also, breakers are there to protect the house wiring from overheating.
@@nunya___ Breakers are there to protect, yes, but they aren't bulletproof. Running a load continuously near the max rated value can cause a fire if given enough time. Most circuit breakers that are applied in North America are 80% rated, which means that they can only be used continuously at 80% of their thermal current rating. Now what is the average power draw of the airfrier and how long does it continously pull 1700W, I don't know. I'm guessing it only pulls the max at the highest heat setting.
@@x3TripleAce3x You're an idiot for saying this.... "Running a load continuously near the max rated value can cause a fire if given enough time." You don't understand physics or the safety factors designed to the breakers, the wire and the insulation.
@@FlobbiJobbi Yea I thought it was just some OEM stuff from china, but for the price. I actually think it's pretty good for the effort they're putting in.
I got an airfryer as a gift a year ago as a single student it’s the best thing ever I don’t even have an oven in my tiny apartment and I don’t need one.
This video unlocked a forgotten memory from my call center days. I was taught by my American trainer that unlike Filipinos who are very careful with appliances, Americans are just rough and hard on them. Slamming drawers, covers and lids like Captain Caveman with a club.😂
It's actually not. Check out Chris Young's most recent video for a lesson on air fryers. They are slightly different than most convection ovens and that little difference makes all the difference.
If all commercials were like this then I'd never gripe about a commercial again. This was entertaining, educational, and made me re-think how I'm using my air fryer. Considering getting one of these for my mom-in-law, the app integration sounds like it would be a huge help.
@@AWatts420 the space upgrade is rarely worth the huge price increase imo. A small airfryer is still worth having in the family kitchen for sides or for kids meals since it's much faster.
I appreciate the honesty in your intro and the aloofness with which you present the paid content. It's a golden egg you've found and hardly a bad way to make a living. Cheers
Thanks for the fries recipe. Parboiling in the microwave is doable. Never did it because I didn’t want to clean the starchy pot. But a glass bowl is not a problem. Also on your content question from before. I really like short podcasts 15 minutes, give or take 5 minutes. It’s the right length for listening to while cleaning the kitchen after dinner. Hour long podcasts are OK, but you end up either hanging around listening or trying to get back to a good starting place another night. A short Ragusea podcast would be awesome.
This is the best ad I've seen in a while. Very informative, but straight to the point, no nonsense and no bs, as Adam Ragusea always is. Will be checking out the Tastee Air Fryer!
What a genius ad for a device like this. Wasn't sure if the cool graph of temperature-over-time is actually a component of the app - that'd probably sell me. I love me some cooking data. Almost bought but stopped only because my wife would kill / divorce me if I bought another small appliance. Of course, the smart money is that I come back to it in a month and buy anyway, lol.
Some very coincidental timing, I'm a long time Adam Ragusea fan and I got an air fryer a couple weeks ago too! It's made by a smartphone company and it's surprisingly not as advanced as this one but it has a long list of 100 recipes specifically formulated for this specific air fryer, with photos, exact ingredient amounts and there's even a button that cooks the ingredients for the exact amount of time and temp needed, it helps save a lot of hassle knowing that these exact instructions will make it work 100% One of the coolest things is that the temperature goes all the way down to 40c which means you can make yoghurt in it and it works really well!
I was a student up until last year and my airfryer was my best friend, used it almost every day. It's also the absolute best way I've found to reheat pizza
You could say that Adam is “selling out,” over the topic of tabletop convection ovens. But you also have to appreciate that Adam gets his money from rich companies instead of directly asking his audience like so many other creators.
Wrapping the quesadilla in foil, cooking it in the air fryer just to taking it out, unwrapping it and putting it back in to crisp is much more convenient than using a pan!
It is if you live in a place without a burner to heat a pan on. I probably wouldn't use my air fryer for this purpose, because I have a stove in my kitchen. But if I lived in an efficiency situation without a real stove, I'd be psyched to have this option. As it is, I mostly make roasted potatoes in my air fryer, because it's great for that, easier than doing them in oven, and used less energy than heating up the full oven for that purpose.
Adam callung it a fryer was not something I would have ever expected. Otherwise, it's nice to see it advertized with a recipe that's made for it and not acting like it's a deep fryer like it is usually advertized. Thick fries work better than the thin ones in an airfryer, totally agree on that. Last time I had airfryer fries, they were the thick ones, and for once, I've found them edible (still not a fan, but better than the other types).
Best ad I’ve watched this year. I guess anything Adam does is going to be better than others of the same info. Wish I had something for Adam to sell. 😊
I have a two basket ninja air fryer. Got it for christmas a few years ago. Love it, didnt expect to but i do. I never thought to use the probe thermometer with it tho... what temp should the inside of the meat reach with this method(havent ever cooked a steak)?
Yeah! Fries and steak for one person! I can see the use-case for this. Programs seem cool, if they do the magic as advertised. ❤Thanks TASTEE for sponsoring Adam! But, you'll have to pry my grills from my Dead, Smokey Hands.
Thank you so much for this wonderful Tabletop Convection Oven ad! As a single person I live out of my Mini Slow Cooker (aka rice cooker with multiple options) and my Tabletop Convection Oven. When I need a new one, it will NOT be a smart one with an app (DUMB APPLIANCES FOREVER), but it's nice to have a cheap recipe for something this elevated in a form appropriate to a single person.
I finally bought a countertop convection oven last fall. Since I've got as many mouths to feed as you do, I only use it once or twice a week for sides or small pizzas.
I picked up an air fryer with a built in temperature probe a few months ago (not this model) and I use it ALL THE TIME. It's super handy, but I refuse to connect it to my wifi or install the associated app on principle.
If you get that one, you'll learn QUICKLY that it's too small to really do anything of substance. They do look good on ads disguised as cooking demonstrations though.
Get an actual convection oven if you like the features. Bigger, more power efficient due to the better insulation. And it's not just another trash device taking up space in your cabinets. Table top convection ovens like this one break down far faster. They skimp on the insulation which fries the electronics. You'd be lucky to get three years out of it.
First, Adam gets a big +1 for making it so obvious that this is an ad. I'm anti-"air fryer". I don't ever eat frozen foods that would benefit from "air frying". I also live and cook alone, and heating up my big oven always seems like a waste. [I don't have a/c, so don't use it at all in hot months.] So, when I decided to buy a small oven, I sprung for one that does both convection and "air frying". [Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, bought on a very good Black Friday sale.] Turns out, the "air fryer" setting is useful. If I use the basket, I can cook a sheet pan style dinner of a frozen salmon filet and roast vegetables in about 20 minutes from opening the freezer drawer to table. The salmon skin gets crispy and the veggies pick up a little char. This has become one of my "I'm too tired to cook" meals. I'm still experimenting, but I bet I can do similar with a chicken thigh, or a chop, or a small steak. Is it a *real* air fryer? I don't care. It works for my cooking needs. Would I ever buy a dedicated "air fryer"? Nope! My oven can also bake without fan, broil, dehydrate, and even make toast.
