Anybody out there? Love to hear your thoughts.
First time using for bacon. So I appreciated all the different ways you showed me.
This is fantastic. Thanks for this!
Just a suggestion, I have a kalorik too and I put water in that bottom drip or splash pan and what a difference with smoke and splatter. Also, the closer up under the less mess for sure. Give it a try with anything really greasy and you will be much happier with the cleanup and less smoke.
Oh yeah, also thanks for the tip...the lower temp for the bacon definitely works better for evenly cooked bacon for sure.
Good point for sure. I have heard of people using water in the drip pan. There is 1 issue with that though. When I am finished cooking bacon, I drain the grease from the pan into a grease bucket. The grease hardens and I have been using the same container for the grease for a couple years. With water mixed in with the grease it is not going to harden so easily and may lead to a funky smell. I do it this way because it is never good to put grease down a drain. I personally do not mind what little smoke comes out , which in my case has been very minimal at best. I guess everything has its trade-offs you could say.
Yeah, for sure...If you save and use your grease then that's not good but if you dispose of it, it works great. I don't pour it down the drain either, definitely don't want issues from that. But for steaks or chicken if you don't save the grease it is a night and day difference for sure cleanup and smoke wise.
@@JR-Rollin I could definitely see that would be an excellent idea for chicken and steak. Definitely will give it a try with those items next time. I do appreciate the tip.
@@TheFoodExperience Refrigerate your grease can.
If it has water in it you will be able to drain most of that from the solidified fats.
Nice looking bacon from your butcher!
They have the best cut for sure
Very helpful! Thanks for the information, just got one of these air fryers and wanted to learn how to make bacon correctly
L&L We just received Maxx and I was frustrated with the directions, so I figured there had to be an easier way. After searching I found your site and watching a few videos I am satisfied with the way you explain how to use it and don't be afraid of using your own mind and figure out what to do with temp adjusting and times. Great videos and very informative.
Thank you so much for the kind thoughts and checking out my channel. I truly enjoy using the Maxx. Back in December I upgraded to the new grill model. If you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you so much for doing your ideas for us all. I was Lucky to come across your channel when I got my Maxx! You have given me ideas and Hope.
My career now force to retire, due to disabilities. Go figure. Trucking long haul was/is an Amazing lifestyle, but arduous and not as easy as some would suggest. My second passion is cooking. Though baby steps for me right now.
I am finally able to do some more cooking, safely. I look forward to more of your channel. Happy Cooking.
You are very welcome. I'm so glad that my channel is able to provide some assistance for you. Nothing wrong with baby steps. You'll get to where you want to be. All you need is a little passion and persistence.
Keep up the way you expand what your doing
Wish I'd watched your vid before cooking bacon for the 1st time in my Maxx this morning 😆 Would love your degrees in celsius too for us Aussies if possible 🙏 Sorry we're weird that way 🤪 Easy listening & great tutorial. Thanks mate 👍 🐨🦘
Thank you so much for the kind thoughts Anne. I've done a lot more testing since this video and I am about to upload a new video which has a Bacon example amongst other foods. I find that bacon really does cook the best at 360° F or 182.222 C. I usually use either the Fry basket or the steak tray.. That's really cool that an Aussie is tuning in.
after a couples of research on the oven i decide to get one and one of the most complain was washing of the letters like yours so my solution i cut a square of a ziplock bag and scotchtape it over the button problem solve nice video thanks
Thank you very much. That's a very good idea to preserve the lettering for sure.
I save my grease! And use it for frying eggs or cabbage… yummy!!
A lot of folks enjoy cooking their eggs in bacon grease. I think it is a personal preference type of thing. I prefer using butter with eggs. I have tried it before though.
I just bought the Kalorik Maxx and watched some of your tutorials and I'm glad that I did. My biggest gripe would be that the manufacturer didn't stamp the button functions into the metal as they did their name brand. That way greasy fingers won't eventually smear the very poor quality printing ink.
Definitely agree with you on that. I really do wonder why they did not stamp them in the metal. Totally would have been a lot more effective.
@@TheFoodExperience I heard some people use clear nail polish to cover the stamps so they do not get smeared off
@@dboymax1 yes that is absolutely true. I covered mine with clear nail polish on the second device that I received.
Nice crisp bacon! Yum!
That's the way I like it best. The Maxx really cook it nice and crisp for folks that enjoy it like that.
Thanks for this! Helped a ton
You are very welcome. Glad my video was of help. I should make a new one though because from then until now I've got it all dialed in perfectly. Preheat to 360 and cook the bacon in the air Fry basket or steak tray. Usually it's about 7 minutes. That's where the medium to thick cut of bacon.
I have a comment on the steak preset. The demo I saw on hsn showed you should preheat with the pan inside. Then you put the steak on to sear the outside and add grill marks.
It depends which device you have. If you have the original Maxx then I recommend watching my New York steak video. Basically you turn on steak mode for 500°. At the same time you want to have the steak tray and drip pan comboed together in the regular air fry slot. The preheat is complete when the steak stops flashing on the display. Then slide out the tray and insert the steak. Cook for maybe 4 to 5 minutes and flip. That's about that.
Nicely done! Who doesn't love bacon?? And, just for the record, I would have loved those blackened peices :)
Thanks so much Brad!! That's the thing with bacon, so many people like it served up differently. I definitely like it on the crisp side, but thick cut and tender on the inside. Wish you were over, i would cook ya up a batch.
For the lettering under the buttons, I've heard tell of using clear nail polish to protect.
Yup, that's correct
OMG!!! love the coffee cup where can I get one
It is a cool coffee cup. Unfortunately I'm not sure where it was purchased. It was gifted to me from a girl I was dating at the time.
Bacon's cooked crispness and ones preference in regards to this, is a personal thing! Whatever one likes best is best for them, when it comes to cooked/cooking bacon! NOT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WANTS THEIR FOOD ITEMS, COOKED EXACTLY THE SAME/SAME DONENESS/OR THE SAME WAY/STYLE OF COOKING!
Absolutely agreed, different strokes for different folks. What's up with the ALL CAPS? LOL
Thanks! We just picked one up and first thing I looked up was a bacon recipe. I think I read in the manual that you can change the presets to whatever you want? So I'm thinking I will change my preset to your 7 min, 355* setting.
You're very welcome. I need to update and put a new video up regarding the bacon. After trying different experiments I find that the bacon tray sitting inside of the drip pan at 360° works great. Also it is very important to preheat the Maxx. Just set a few extra minutes and wait for the label for whatever function you are using to stop blinking and turn solid before putting the bacon in. I would enjoy hearing how it came out if you feel like updating me after that.
Thank You! We just purchased one and thinking about frying bacon. As far as post fry cleaning, do you know if placing foil over the bacon makes any difference or do you think that would will alter the frying process? TIA!
You are very welcome! It is not recommended to use foil when using airfry mode. The foil could break loose and get caught up in the air fryer fan and also the heating elements. I highly do not recommend that.
@@TheFoodExperience Thanks again! Enjoyed your video....will keep watching...
Have had mine just a short time ... do you use aluminum foil in basket ? and how do you gage Stauffer's and other meals in air fryer. Thank U
I do not use aluminum foil in the air fryer basket. They say when your air frying to never use foil. However when you are using it as an oven in bake mode then you can use foil. As far as frozen meals are concerned you really don't want to air fry them. You want to use the bake feature. The reason being is that those meals are designed to be baked which means the upper and lower sets of heating elements are on. When you use air fry only the upper set of heating elements are on. If you have any other questions please let me know.
i have a new kaloric maxx but it didn't come with a bacon tray.
Depending where you bought it it comes with different accessories. Honestly you're not missing much. Since this video I can honestly say that pre-heating to 360°then inserting the basketful of bacon yields the best results. Depending on the doneness you prefer it could take anywhere from five to eight minutes to cook, no flipping necessary.
I never preheat my oven. Also, if you don’t flip the bacon, as the manual says, then the 9 minute mark at 425 doesn’t work. If you do follow the manual instructions then 425 at 9 minutes yields perfect bacon every time. Hey, if you’re not going to follow instructions then you can’t gripe when it’s not working for you.
LOL manual is not right. Bacon should be cooked at 400 regularly, in AF mode, 360 works best. Have a nice day. 😊
Also if you never preheat that tells me a lot about you. Ovens should be preheated and the Maxx has a preheat capability built in. Also if you noticed most anything you cook a preheat is optimal. No one wants to start off with a cold oven. That's why recipes tell you to preheat the oven first. At least 99% of them.
Thank you for doing the hot chicken wings
You are so welcome Shane. Those were so delicious.
How do you become part of the group?
Which group?
@@TheFoodExperience The air frying group you have mentioned on your videos that share tips and so forth on the Kalorik max air fryer.
@@kristrentman4837 oh okay. Sorry I was having a duh moment. Just looked for the group called Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven. When you try to join the group you will be presented with some entry questions. All of them must be entered in order to gain access to the group. I think there's four questions in total. As of right now there are 5.8K subscribers in the group.
All that smacking tho
🤣😂🥓😂🤣
I think cooking bacon in this is a waste of time for me. Because you can't cook much as much the skillet or oven. For me I like to make all of the bacon at once. It just doesn't work for me. The mess & clean up for just a few pieces of bacon at a time.
It definitely depends on how much bacon you are needing to prepare. I personally like bacon best on my flat-top griddle.
Rotate chicken
I don't understand what you're trying to communicate. This is a bacon video.
Toooooooo much talking
LOL now that's too funny.
