I have no idea why this showed up in my feed, but I am so glad it did! This is EXACTLY why this mom of 6 never got an air fryer! Thank you soooo much! I will get after Thanksgiving. This was so helpful!
I just have to say you are the best air fryer-review person on whole internet. I just found you short time ago because I was thinking to buy myself first air fryer (I'm still super scared of it especially now that you even said it with smoke/ fire alarm going off T_T) but the way you present it is perfection, it's authentic and you talk of experience, easy to understand and to remember, also with the free pdf and all it's really encouraging to experience cooking in a whole new way!
I highly recommend getting a Cosori air fryer. Either the regular 5.8 quart (upper heating element only) or the dual blaze (upper and lower heating elements). It’s a great little machine. 👍👍
So glad I always check out customer reviews and satisfaction when ordering from Amazon. I got the Corsori and we are so happy with it. We are retired grandparents and my husband does all of our cooking due to my disability. I'm loving your vlogs so I can share them with him and get ideas of how to use it for more than frozen foods. Your family is lovely! Thanks for your 🍳😊
I received my Airfryer yesterday and found your site. I watched all the videos on how to use it and what to cook. The first thing I did was cook sweet potato fries. I watched your video and they turned out delicious. Thank you for your information. Keep up the excellent work. I bought the Cosori 5.5lt Airfryer from Amazon, which is the one you use.
I'm a new bachelor and I'm new to cooking in the kitchen, especially with an air fryer. Excellent video! Thanks so much for the great info! I'll be watching more of your videos. Eric👍
I'm so thankful I came across your videos Kathy! I just retired from 50 years as a short order cook and received an air fryer for Christmas. It will be fun to experiment with all the different foods and techniques. You are a 'hoot' to watch (that's something us old folks say..it's a compliment 😉) and a great teacher!! AF on!!
Again, Cathy, you’ve knocked it out of the park!!! I watched this as an “old” Cosori user and an avid Cathy-ite!!! just because I look forward to your Saturday morning videos…each time you remind me of something I’ve forgotten in my Cosori usage and today was how to convert an oven recipe to an AF recipe…so thanks again and 🥰 love to you and your family!
In the video, around minute 10:10, you suggest increasing the temperature from the preset 350°F to 400°F when cooking fries. While higher temperatures can speed up the cooking process and make food crispier, there is a potential downside to going above 356°F (180°C), especially for starchy foods like fries. At higher temperatures, particularly above 356°F (180°C), a chemical reaction occurs between the sugars and amino acids in the potatoes (or other starchy foods) that can lead to the formation of acrylamide, a potentially harmful compound. This reaction is not caused by the oil breaking down but rather by the high heat interacting with the starch in the food. Instead of pushing the temperature to 400°F, a good alternative would be to keep it at or below 355°F and extend the cooking time slightly. This way, you still get perfectly crispy fries without the health risks associated with acrylamide. It’s a small tweak that can make a difference in both safety and quality.
I'm super grateful for your channel. I am expecting my air fryer to arrive in 2 days and I have been researching everything I need to know beforehand. Your channel is phenomenal. 🙏
Kathy, Your recommendations are spot on! I donated the mini-Breville toaster-oven style AF to charity and purchased the Cosori Pro II. The transition was easy. The new AF is very fast as compared to the Breville. I find that frozen food, I’d normally heat up in the microwave, tastes better when warmed up in the air fryer.
I've bought the Cosori Turbo Blaze 6 Litre. The airfryer stank enormously at first. I followed all your tips. The only thing that really helped was cooking food in it. After that, the bad smell was gone. Lovely greetings from Germany, Yv. 😘
Kathy I just found your channel! I just got my air fryer. I did research before I purchased it. I came across your channel and have watch several of your videos. I watched the 4 best air fryers for 2023 that you like. The Instant Vortex Plus 6 Qt. is the one I got! Love your channel. I already ordered your cookbook, cheat sheet, and a number of items from Amazon. Thanks! Great information.
Um, where have you been all my life? You are so easy to listen to and I love that you talk fast! I'll defo be tuning in for more tips for using my new air fryer.
Had my air fryer a month now and it hasn't met electricity yet so will keep learning with you to get the confidence to start as I'm not the best of cooks lol
I've owned the Cosori model shown in the video for several years and love it! I joined the Empowered Cooks course as soon as it came out, have the tips and tricks downloads and Cathy's cookbook is tagged with post-its for my favorites. 😉 As someone who's moving to a more plant based diet, I wish there were more recipes.
Thank you so very much for this video! I bought my first air fryer last night and am going to take your advice and cook french fries and then going to try bratwurst too. It’s a very yummy, EASY dinner. Thanks for the unboxing and precooking directions. Thanks again for this video and have a happy day today! 😊
I have the dual blaze air fryer, love it, I cook bacon in it, without the tray, leaves very little bacon grease, then I crack a couple of eggs and cook them in the little bacon grease. Yum!
Cathy you are awesome! I got an air fryer found you and I was so exited and followed you. Loved the ease of making meals. No splatter on my cooktop! I followed your directions for making steaks, best ever. Then my daughter informed me of the dangers of the Teflon coating. Even though I know to not scratch it, and use silicone utensils. She said they have ceramic air fryers, which are safe. I would love your opinion? Could you perhaps do a review of ceramic air fryer pros & cons? Thank you for all your wonderful cooking inspirations. 👩🍳👍😋
Hi Cathy, I just received my Cosor TurboBlaze Air Fryer and can't wait to use it on the regular. Thanks a bunch for all the videos you've put out showing how to utilize this fantastic kitchen gadget and great "Hacks" as well. It took me a while before investing in an air fryer because at first they seemed somewhat intimidating. I owe it all to you with the help of your cheat sheets. I'll use my air fryer with confidence. I've been watching your videos for a long while and feel confident I'll make good use out of my Cosori TB Air Fryer. You've EMPOWERED me.😂❤ Sarah 🇨🇦
Wow thank you for this video. I don't have an Air Fryer. YET!! 👍🏼 But I have been thinking and looking into them. I'm now going to watch your video on recommendations. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I started watching your videos and they are very helpful. I bought a Mainstays air fryer to "get my feet wet" but transitioned to a Cosori Pro LE 5QT. I love it and the versatility of it. Thanks for the tips and easy recipies.
You are so good at this! Upgrading my air fryer now that I know how much more it can do than I ever thought. On the oil, I use a non-aerosol avocado spray that only has avocado oil and nothing else. I tried one of the misters once, and maybe it was the brand, but it didn't work well. And I felt like I should wash it whenever the oil ran out, including the tube. I just never felt I got it clean enough.
Thank You! I bought a 14qt air fryer at a black Friday sale and had no idea how to use it properly. So many questions. I found your channel 1st RUclips search and you hooked my husband and I. We are now ready to get air frying!
My wife and I are old Boomers. I love to use a griddle outdoors, but indoor ovens are a pain. did a ton of research before buying first airfryer and only wanted a "training wheel" size,,,Chose the Cosory 2.1 tiny one. Love It! quiet, efficient, just too small for cooking for guests.....My next one, either the one you are using or the Cosori Lite 3.8 ! Thank you!
My sister just sent me the me the exact same cosori air fryer you are demonstrating on. Just came upon your channel this very day. So happy. You explain things so well, cant wait to get started 😊
Gourmia forces a preheat. I chose that one because I wanted a window on the basket and found it on a Black Friday sale ... Then, I asked myself, "I finally have an air fryer, now what?" My regular oven has a convection option, but .. an airfryer? My concern was extremely short lived ... I went on the hunt for recipes and found your channel. I have learned everything I need to know from you. I proofed rolls, then baked them. I hard boiled eggs and for the first time ever, they peeled perfectly ... there was no torn egg white to mix into the deviled egg mix. 😂 I've cooked pork loin strip, chicken, meatballs, roasted vegetables, and a lot more. I rearranged the kitchen so it would have a permanent home and I use it every day. It reheats food better than the oven, stove top or microwave. Thank you so much!
I'm loving your video! I recently got this exact unit so you're showing me some new tricks. I'm on about my 4th air fryer. I got rid of my oven and stove a couple of years ago and I'm 99% air fryer, occasional crock pot, and one hot plate burner for when I want to cook something in my cast iron skirt.
Love your channel thank you so for sharing your research and operation of an airfrier. We got one for Christmas and have been using it for a few days and now we’ll be using it more often. Happy New Year 2025 and thank you again.
Thanks to you I bought a Cosori dual fryer, use it every day, and cook steak, filet mignion, wow awsome I don't cook my steaks on BBQ anymore. thanks again and keep the videos coming...and yes I bought your Recipes book love it
Great advice and presentation, thank you! Was so excited to order and receive my new air fryer…months ago!, Haven’t even used it yet😂. Now feel so much ready to do so…but on to your next video first. 😊thanks again.
I literally just cleaned my dual ninja airfryer. It just had some residue from water drying so I just rewashed it 😊. I love using my air fryer. I can't wait to get your cookbook from Amazon on Monday I'm so excited 😊.
Glad I so happened to find your channel here. I subscribed right away and even purchased the same Cosori air fryer you suggested. Should be here tomorrow and can't wait to start cooking some great recipes. Thanks for all the great info and recipes!
I just got my first air fryer yesterday afternoon, an 8L Instant Vortex Plus. I used it last night to reheat some shawarmas (they're like gyros.) I'm looking forward to actually cooking with it but that will have to wait until I can go grocery shopping this weekend.
I just remembered about online shopping and delivery so I got some simple things, frozen fries, chicken nuggets and sausages, to start out with, along with a bunch of other things I needed.. Same price as in supermarkets plus I got free delivery vs. having to pay taxi fare both ways. Later on I'll delve into roasted veggies and meats. Meanwhile I can actually air fry something for dinner.
I'm physically challenged so certain cooking methods are just not available to me. But, dead serious, I'm excited by the air fryer and rice cooker that I purchased. Not only are these modern amenities for regular folk but a godsend for a guy like me. I'm actually feeling like I can cook foods I wouldn't be able to otherwise because of these awesome kitchen marvels. I've been ravenous in watching these videos to pick up skills and knowledge for my burgeoning culinary journey. I just want to say thank you for your videos and knowledge sharing.
Cathy …in March of 2020 I saw your video about Airfryers on You Tube and decided I needed one. I wasn’t quite 80 at the time but Went ahead and ordered one. I got the dial model (since recalled) so I have a replacement. The next fall I went to Florida for 4 months and missed an Airfryer so much I bought the Cosori 5 qt and love it. It’s perfect for my needs. I use it almost every day. I have followed your instructions for basics and also look up recipes online. Thanks for all your efforts.
I just ordered a cosori from Walmart. I had just bought a 2 quart one last week and decided I wanted one just a little bigger. I have a bigger one that is the oven type but it’s too large. You are really get.
I just ordered an air fryer. I have been watching your videos and bought the pro II Cosori. I noticed you mentioned your 'cook' chart in one of your videos and I was wondering where I can get that. Thank you very much!
What a great tip on the fatty food, I have been avoiding that for bacon and beef burgers (which even in a pan) there is lots of fat. So I had avoided these in the Air Fryer.
I like to collect the grease once it is cooled (but not solid yet) into a jar or bowl to keep in the fridge. Then I use it to sauté vegetables or other things when making pasta sauces etc. It adds flavour and reuses the leftover fat in other recipes.
When it comes to bacon, I either put a parchment(not the one with holes but the one with the sides that go up the edge of the air fryer a bit) in the basket of the Cosori or at the bottom of the Cosori to catch all the grease. When it’s done, you can either leave it till it firms up again and then dispose of it, or you can carefully pick up the parchment and dump the grease into your tin can or whatever you use to collect used grease. I have the same Cosori as Cathy in this video. Not sure if this hack would work in a dual blaze.
Thanks for the tip! I tried that in the dual blaze and the grease still got everywhere. The parchment paper seemed to thin and maybe I didn't place it good. I've also done it with putting foil at the very bottom.
I love, love my Cosori!!! And the same thing goes with parchment with the sides…I’m a lazy cook and the parchment saves most of the cleanup when it’s used…just a hint, once it cools down just wad up a layer of paper towel and allow it to soak up most of the grease which also allows you to then pick up the parchment to dispose of it…(I’m 78 so look the other way if you want but I save my bacon grease for future yummy uses!🫣)
Just a note about the internal cooking temperature. Do you realize that the temperature keeps going up once the chicken is done? When you let it rest, the temperature inside will increase. So if you cook it at the temperature you want your chicken wont be as juicy and will be overcooked. Let it rest five minutes and watch that thermometer temperature go up.
Thank you for thinking of us, foreigners, who use Celcius instead of Farenheit :) I've checked for many videos to jelp me make my choice on my first airfryer, and I think that - even if not in my mother tongue - your videos are way much better than what I have found so far. Many thanks, I will watch them all ! I would have loved subtitles so I could understand better, but you are understandable enough for me to get 80% of what you say. See, you are a WORDLWILD airfryer Queen !! Cheers from France
Vidéo fantastique ! Vous êtes LE meilleur pour tout expliquer. Je viens de macheter une friteuse a air. Mais svp lorsque vous dites de mettre un peu de vinaigre et citron dans un bol d'eau puis remettre dans la friteuse pour 10 min, dans ce cas, on utilise quel bouton sur la friteuse pour ce faire??
Hi, I saw a link about your 6 month subscription cooking classes. Can you do a video on that service? I would love to check it out. I was curious the times you offered the classes live. Thanks
I just tried frozen chicken nuggets very first thing not knowing anything bout how do stuff. Now subscribing to your channel, done learned 2 things just watching this video!
they store the product, so to prevent corrosion they coat the insides in a machine oil. so it best to burn that off before you use it with food. it can smell bad to bloody horrble so keep some windows open but it should not last, if it does send it back.i did that with my COSORI it took 2 cycles then i put the trays on a large windowsill outside and its been perfect ever since. i learned a lot from watching your chanell and good luck with the book, we need more info on how to use air fryers for more than chips and wings.
I’ve been Rockin and rolling w mine since rt after getting my Gourmia a year ago at Costco. I’d def recommend getting the thin 100 pack of bowl sheets at removes any need for post fry cleanup
I just joined your channel since I finally broke down and bought a small air fryer to test out. Thanks for the tips and cooking temp guide! Why don't you recommend putting the fryer on the stove top? I have such limited counter space. I've used a Foreman grill that way numerous times with no problem.
Without you our air fryer would still be in the box. Keep up the good work. Love how you bring your family into the video’s. You have a perfect life can we move in? 😊
I'm a single person so I dont cook as many fries, I find for the thin french fries I takes me 7mins at 200c If I'm cooking chips, a thicker version of fries we have in the UK it takes 3mins longer. Although zi've had my frier a ehile I haven't bern very adventurous with it so I'm still learning.
never use one before it come today and your video come up i was just looking at the air fryer not knowing or shore how to use it so thanks for the vid wish me luck🤣 thank you👍
@empoweredcooks The 8 quart because I can cook more stuff. I use the grill for the burgers & steak because it's easier when comes to getting rid of the grease.
Whew ! Thanks so much for taking the OMG out of someone entering the New World of Air Frying. I'm a lazy cook (do NOT tell me you are lazy with 8 kids...I was a houseparent for 8 many years ago and, while loving/caring for them, I was never allowed to be lazy !) You've demystified a lot but for the first time I made my son walk me through the steps written on the Instruction Sheet....so many "don'ts"... Wish I'd watched a bunch of your videos beforehand. anyway, all is well and I think I'll be ok with using it. Love your personality as well !
Thank you so much!!!! This is a great video. I have problems with highlighting and shadow a lot. I can pick and an area and make it right but when I start painting on the things around it omg… I make a mess I loose like the orientation of where my source of light is coming from. Do it make sense? Do you have a tip. I get frustrated because I can understand the video but when am coloring I just het all confused. Thank you
Air-fryer novice here. Excellent video. Thank you for the primer.
Thanks Cathy 😅
Just got an air fryer for Christmas.
So intimidating for a geezer. You're the first RUclips video I watched and I feel so empowered.
So glad to hear it! ❤️

I just got my first air fryer yesterday afternoon, an 8L Instant Vortex Plus. I used it last night to reheat some shawarmas (they're like gyros.) I'm looking forward to actually cooking with it but that will have to wait until I can go grocery shopping this weekend.
I just remembered about online shopping and delivery so I got some simple things, frozen fries, chicken nuggets and sausages, to start out with, along with a bunch of other things I needed.. Same price as in supermarkets plus I got free delivery vs. having to pay taxi fare both ways. Later on I'll delve into roasted veggies and meats. Meanwhile I can actually air fry something for dinner.
May 2024, Just went to Amazon and bought this Airfryer based on this video ! also subscribed to your channel so you can teach me how to use it !
Wow, this is a fantastic video.
I'm physically challenged so certain cooking methods are just not available to me. But, dead serious, I'm excited by the air fryer and rice cooker that I purchased. Not only are these modern amenities for regular folk but a godsend for a guy like me. I'm actually feeling like I can cook foods I wouldn't be able to otherwise because of these awesome kitchen marvels. I've been ravenous in watching these videos to pick up skills and knowledge for my burgeoning culinary journey. I just want to say thank you for your videos and knowledge sharing.
Cathy …in March of 2020 I saw your video about Airfryers on You Tube and decided I needed one. I wasn’t quite 80 at the time but Went ahead and ordered one. I got the dial model (since recalled) so I have a replacement.
The next fall I went to Florida for 4 months and missed an Airfryer so much I bought the Cosori 5 qt and love it. It’s perfect for my needs. I use it almost every day.
I have followed your instructions for basics and also look up recipes online. Thanks for all your efforts.
I am so glad to hear that!
Thank you very much for this video. Very good jump start
Thank you. This is very informative.
You're very welcome!
thanks for all the tips, new sub from Argentina.
I just ordered a cosori from Walmart. I had just bought a 2 quart one last week and decided I wanted one just a little bigger. I have a bigger one that is the oven type but it’s too large. You are really get.
I just ordered an air fryer. I have been watching your videos and bought the pro II Cosori. I noticed you mentioned your 'cook' chart in one of your videos and I was wondering where I can get that. Thank you very much!
You can get it at PineandPepper.co!
What a great tip on the fatty food, I have been avoiding that for bacon and beef burgers (which even in a pan) there is lots of fat. So I had avoided these in the Air Fryer.
You will love bacon!!
I like to collect the grease once it is cooled (but not solid yet) into a jar or bowl to keep in the fridge. Then I use it to sauté vegetables or other things when making pasta sauces etc. It adds flavour and reuses the leftover fat in other recipes.
When it comes to bacon, I either put a parchment(not the one with holes but the one with the sides that go up the edge of the air fryer a bit) in the basket of the Cosori or at the bottom of the Cosori to catch all the grease. When it’s done, you can either leave it till it firms up again and then dispose of it, or you can carefully pick up the parchment and dump the grease into your tin can or whatever you use to collect used grease. I have the same Cosori as Cathy in this video. Not sure if this hack would work in a dual blaze.
Thanks for the tip! I tried that in the dual blaze and the grease still got everywhere. The parchment paper seemed to thin and maybe I didn't place it good. I've also done it with putting foil at the very bottom.
I love, love my Cosori!!! And the same thing goes with parchment with the sides…I’m a lazy cook and the parchment saves most of the cleanup when it’s used…just a hint, once it cools down just wad up a layer of paper towel and allow it to soak up most of the grease which also allows you to then pick up the parchment to dispose of it…(I’m 78 so look the other way if you want but I save my bacon grease for future yummy uses!🫣)
Very useful information. Why change all the times/temps though? If the instructions on the packs are wrong then what is going on? Thanks.
Thank you! I will be trying to find the free chart. I am watching loads of your videos
Great video :) You covered everything from new - experienced. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thank you for all the tips and information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks hun got a chef man multifunctional air fryer. Its an oven type one so this helps
made my first frozen chips ! thankyou.
Just a note about the internal cooking temperature. Do you realize that the temperature keeps going up once the chicken is done? When you let it rest, the temperature inside will increase. So if you cook it at the temperature you want your chicken wont be as juicy and will be overcooked. Let it rest five minutes and watch that thermometer temperature go up.
Thank you for thinking of us, foreigners, who use Celcius instead of Farenheit :)
I've checked for many videos to jelp me make my choice on my first airfryer, and I think that - even if not in my mother tongue - your videos are way much better than what I have found so far. Many thanks, I will watch them all !
I would have loved subtitles so I could understand better, but you are understandable enough for me to get 80% of what you say.
See, you are a WORDLWILD airfryer Queen !!
Cheers from France
I just received the Ninja Megazone for my birthday. Excited to have one again.
FWIW, America’s Test Kitchen recommends the Instant Vortex Plus 6qt XL.
Vidéo fantastique ! Vous êtes LE meilleur pour tout expliquer. Je viens de macheter une friteuse a air. Mais svp lorsque vous dites de mettre un peu de vinaigre et citron dans un bol d'eau puis remettre dans la friteuse pour 10 min, dans ce cas, on utilise quel bouton sur la friteuse pour ce faire??
Way. Wry helpful thank you so much
Hi, I saw a link about your 6 month subscription cooking classes. Can you do a video on that service? I would love to check it out. I was curious the times you offered the classes live. Thanks
Kathy. Can I use an oven bag in my air fryer? Ty!
I think I’ve never-ever seen so amazing RUclips video 😅
I’ll grab my VISA and run to shop right now 😂
I'm thinking of getting an air fryer, but to the uninitiated it is a minefield out there. Your videos are a good starting point, I'm learning.
I just tried frozen chicken nuggets very first thing not knowing anything bout how do stuff. Now subscribing to your channel, done learned 2 things just watching this video!
they store the product, so to prevent corrosion they coat the insides in a machine oil.
so it best to burn that off before you use it with food.
it can smell bad to bloody horrble so keep some windows open but it should not last, if it does send it back.i did that with my COSORI it took 2 cycles then i put the trays on a large windowsill outside and its been perfect ever since.
i learned a lot from watching your chanell and good luck with the book, we need more info on how to use air fryers for more than chips and wings.
I’ve been Rockin and rolling w mine since rt after getting my Gourmia a year ago at Costco. I’d def recommend getting the thin 100 pack of bowl sheets at removes any need for post fry cleanup
YES those help a lot! I talk about them in this video! ruclips.net/video/pebswEvXsgQ/видео.html
I love my Cosori Pro ll because it has the presets and I don't have to try to remember all the different temps for food
I’m making acorn squash in my Cosori today using your instructions
Oh YUMMY! You'll love it!
I just joined your channel since I finally broke down and bought a small air fryer to test out. Thanks for the tips and cooking temp guide! Why don't you recommend putting the fryer on the stove top? I have such limited counter space. I've used a Foreman grill that way numerous times with no problem.
Just bought one today. Watched your 101 video and decided to put the air fryer back in the box and return it tomorrow.
Without you our air fryer would still be in the box. Keep up the good work. Love how you bring your family into the video’s. You have a perfect life can we move in? 😊
Ha ha ha!!! It's FAR from perfect!!!
I'm a single person so I dont cook as many fries, I find for the thin french fries I takes me 7mins at 200c
If I'm cooking chips, a thicker version of fries we have in the UK it takes 3mins longer.
Although zi've had my frier a ehile I haven't bern very adventurous with it so I'm still learning.
never use one before it come today and your video come up i was just looking at the air fryer not knowing or shore how to use it so thanks for the vid wish me luck🤣 thank you👍
I have a 4 or 5 year old Ninja Foodie. I have learned lots here, but since I do not have a shake reminded on my machine, I just use my kitchen timer.
That works!
Fantastic video, I am learning so much. Thank you.
I have 8 quart air fryer, a 4 quart air fryer & also a smokeless grill. All from Power XL.
Which one do you find you use the most?
@empoweredcooks The 8 quart because I can cook more stuff. I use the grill for the burgers & steak because it's easier when comes to getting rid of the grease.
Whew ! Thanks so much for taking the OMG out of someone entering the New World of Air Frying. I'm a lazy cook (do NOT tell me you are lazy with 8 kids...I was a houseparent for 8 many years ago and, while loving/caring for them, I was never allowed to be lazy !) You've demystified a lot but for the first time I made my son walk me through the steps written on the Instruction Sheet....so many "don'ts"... Wish I'd watched a bunch of your videos beforehand. anyway, all is well and I think I'll be ok with using it. Love your personality as well !
My gourmia always does a preheat before I add food. Thanks
I am looking for best air fly er with cremic baskest and pan.thank you for your information but havnt introduced the material.
What about tips for a combination microwave, convection, air fryer oven.
Thanks so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
You're the air fryer queen and I'm the microwave king.😁
Thank you so much!!!! This is a great video. I have problems with highlighting and shadow a lot. I can pick and an area and make it right but when I start painting on the things around it omg… I make a mess I loose like the orientation of where my source of light is coming from. Do it make sense? Do you have a tip. I get frustrated because I can understand the video but when am coloring I just het all confused. Thank you
