I have a Cosori dual blaze air fryer, which has a heating element on the top and the bottom. No need to shake or flip. Also, after the air fryer is cooled, I wipe out the inside, including around the heating elements. Then I leave an open box of arm and hammer baking soda inside the air fryer to absorb the odors. Works like a charm!
Thank you for making a helpful video that pointed out "MANY" of those mistakes. heating up left over pizza was my HUGE mistakable mistake lol and that LINER issue,🙂 as to when, and not to use. THANK YOU!
Awesome tips...Luckily my only mistake so far it using flat liners that were not waxy like parchment & it caught on fire 1st time using it. I trashed them immediately but honestly I raved about the taste of the wings slightly BBQ flavor. I used Avacado oil in a glass sprayer & squeezed lime juice overtop. YUM! I just got a wire rack I guess to have dual layers & it had 2" feet. Because it sat up higher it seemed to cook Chicken Sausage w/kale very fast. I don't use presets but the air fryer magnetic guide seems to be not enough to cook fully so I just add several minutes. Note: I had frozen pigs in a blanket & cooked them after spraying & turned half way & they turned out fabulous. I'm still learning though. Thanks for a great vid.
Thanks for mentioning the refillable oil sprayer - everyone should be using these, they're so great. I switched to this from years of using the caned stuff and I wish I had done so sooner. I always hated the giant mist the cans would leave over half the kitchen. Also hated having to shake the can before every use, and knowing there were weird chemicals in there other than just oil.
I use parchment on the bottom for easy clean up. But, always with a stainless stainless steel cooling rack on top. #1 It holds parchment down. #2 It allows maximum air flow for CRISP!
Love my simple 3 button Chefman which is great for one! Love the liners and already put them under the basket. Also got a sprayer and use Avocado oil. Love the tip on steam for reheated carbs! I always wet a paper towel and clump it up in the microwave for pizza, so water makes sense in the air fryer basket as well! Cheers, Michael Albuquerque NM USA
Prompted here by YT ! Thank you, Sir. Useful tips. From a south-Asian region. Pre-heating is an issue, since our regional cuisine is so dependent on high heat / high flame cooking, air-fryer pre-heating allows one to start at a certain predictable basal level, so as to acheive an uniform take-off temperature in the chamber. This is to mainly ensure that spices, 'shocked' by that initial flash of high heat, release their otherwise volatile oils, quickly into the food. Also, of course, as you have pointed out, meats brown or sear to that desired crispiness, and smoky or 'browned' flavour, as is desired in meat dishes like kababs/kebabs and tandoori-based recipes.
My mother-n-luv thanks you for the reheating pizza tip. The crust turned out warm and fluffy. She loves pizza and is so grateful for this tip (me too).
Great video, thank you. I've made the majority of these mistakes. I want to give everyone this tip on cleaning their air fryer baskets - ADD BAKING SODA. It's a game changer. Soak the basket in hot water and equal parts dish soap and baking soda. It basically melts the grease away, even caked on stuff. I was at the point where I was avoiding using the air fryer because I dreaded dealing with the grease clean up afterward. Then about a month ago I tried the baking soda trick I saw online - so glad I did.
Thank you! Newbie here, just got a Cosori Turbo Blaze for two reasons: a/ its advertised to be less noisy and b/there is much more info about it on utube (so unfortunate that in Europe its price is twice than in US) Great vid! It saved me so much time and trials & errors.
I always use the red thermometer, cut my own parchment squares..no problems, also no parchment for wings or anything I want crisp . I have the black Cosori one of the first introduced, I love it and use it almost daily. Thank you for your excellent video. 😊
I have had my AF for 5+ years. I bought a small one because I cook for one. I love it!! When it goes to Appliance heaven possibly a little bigger. Next to my coffee maker it is my favorite Appliance!
Biggest tip on cleaning as you said is clean right away, but also to use the air fryer to instantly dry everything by popping it in for 5 mins at 400F once you rinse your cook tray well enough and dump excess water. No need to let it drip dry on a towel or inside the dishwasher.
I wasn't so sure about the parchment use. This advice is exactly what I needed! I've also noticed that some things might blow off in the process of, say, trying to grill an open faced sandwich. I'm wondering what you might suggest, if anything... Call me grateful and subscribed!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video !!! Thank you ! Do you have a video for the Toaster Oven Air Fryer combo please ? I'm still wondering if I made a mistake by getting the combo and not strictly the air fryer alone ...
Great tip about not having to preheat for everything!! I have been preheating for fries but my wife likes to start cooking the other stuff as soon as I start the preheat, so the fries have always been late to the table. I do use brand-name cooking spray for some meals, and I'm not worried about any of the other ingredients in the spray.
MERCI 👍🤗 je viens justement d'acheter une Air Fryer que je n'ai pas encore utilisé 😒 alors j'ai pris votre vidéo que je viens de regarder pour me rappeler tout ce qu'il faut faire ou ne PAS faire avec 👍😉 car je suis une senior et je peux oublier (l'âge est là 🥺) un un ou l'autre de vos conseils 😊. Encore merci à vous 👍🤗 mamy 🇧🇪 👋👋
I got tons of good information from your video. I have been using those spray on oil cans and I have so much trouble cleaning my plate. I have probably rubbed off a lot of the coating trying to get off the grease. Wish I could have seen your video first. Also the tips on moisture were so helpful. I do well with cooking salmon but my chicken isn't very good. I will try your suggestions in the future.
I love my air fryer. If I use a preset, I change the time down to half of the preset time. That forces me to remember to shake or flip. Usually I will reset the second half of the time maybe one or two minutes less. Then when the buzzer goes I check it and can add more time if I think it needs it. As my mother always said about cooking, you can always add but you can’t subtract. I love cooking chicken drumsticks, frozen pies, chips and fish etc. I have cooked a chicken in it and a piece of pork with crackling. It’s also really good to crisp up cookies if you like them crunchy not soft. I have watched videos of liquid things being cooked in an air fryer, like breakfast eggs, but not sure about that. I’ve heard liners flap about with the air inside the fryer. Not convinced that the liquid wouldn’t be sucked up onto the heating element?
I use my air fryer in my man cave where water is only in bottles. Too much grease is a problem and easy cleanup is essential. With liners I don't need to clean out the tray as often. So for me liners are a must.
@maxineb9598The term ‘air flow’ should give you all the information you need. Air fryers work on the principal of air ‘convection’, and blocking the air flow significantly decreases the efficiency of any air fryer.
Today my new airfryer arrived, no yesterday now. (My old one, oven style, decided to give up the ghost 😢). It was unboxed, placed on the work top, examined and inspected from every angle. Then, as I hadn't a clue how to work this one, I very carefully read the manual. Hurrah. 😂
I absolutely love my air fryer It's quick it's easy I can make a big fat ribeye steak tastes delicious everything I've cooked in the air fryer has turned out delicious
I understand the limitations of liners, but I usually don't even need to clean the tray if I use them. I NEVER put them under screen, it defeats the purpose. Also, I use tablespoons in the corners to keep the paper weighted down if I don't have enough food in the tray so it doesn't get blown into the coils. FYI, I have the Typhur Dome 2.
Liners definitely reduce the cleaning effort, and I love that. I use them with the crisper tray, and cleaning just the tray is way easier than scrubbing grease off the heavy, clunky carriage by hand.
Subscribed. No parchment paper, except with veggies. And I say, salmon fillets, and what i am cooking tonight, crab cakes. No preheat needed. Got it Pat dry. Done. Oil: light mist avocado oil, like i have been doing already Pizza reheat: Add a bit of water to basket. Good idea HAND WASH is best. I do that.
Just got my first one. This video auto-followed an unboxing video. It could NOT have been more timely or helpful. THANKS!
I’m a newbie and I really appreciate your info.
I had no idea about adding moisture or oil. This is going to completely change my use of the air fryer which is brand new to me. Thanks.

Agreed
The easiest kitchen appliance to clean. Does NOT NEED a liner.
Re: liners. I just put my liner under the crisper tray or rack. The air can still circulate, but my airfryer pan is protected.
Good idea.
Liners work best if you have the oven type air fryer. No air is blocked and chicken can drip a lot of grease.
@wylie5525 Ruins the chicken grease for me, I want that stuff 😋
I got a silicon liner to cover the base plus a metal rack special for food and it works great for meat.
Thereby reducing the air flow, and you have more mess to clean up. No thanks.
Thank you for making a helpful video that pointed out "MANY" of those mistakes. heating up left over pizza was my HUGE mistakable mistake lol and that LINER issue,🙂 as to when, and not to use. THANK YOU!
The cleaning immediately with hot water, detergent and brush is a top tip.
I use the paper liners with the holes and it works pretty good!
Not made any mistakes yet, just got an air fryer and sought out tips. This video came near the top. Extremely informative, thank you!
I just bought a Cosori and have never used one. Ty so much for being informative.❤
Excellent information. My first ever air fryer was delivered yesterday. I wanted to find out what mistakes not to make before I made them!

Fantastic, intelligent, clear. Wise. Frank, just wonderful tutorial on the whole game. Thank you. Be well.

Thanks - Very helpful for an airfryer newby. Please repost this annually.
Outstanding! Best regards from LImón, Costa Rica!
Best video for beginners
Thank you
Awesome tips! For sure my main advice would be to clean it soon after you use it. Also make sure to clean all of the inside not just the basket!
Thank you Sir you gave us useful Information

Thanks for this! Subbed! 👍
Great tips! Thanks
Guilty on many fronts. Thanks for the education. Great job.
Thanks. Just bought my first fryer, this will help allot.
Hi. Great video. Thank you and have a nice day.
Thx, you solved my dry pizza (h)eating, (miss)using the liner and (maybe) preheating for wings 👍👍👍
I tend to use liners for everything and I don’t pat dry. Than you for your tips.
Love liners!!!! I use them under the grid
Doesn’t that block the air flow?
Bought my first airfryer today and so glad I watched your video!! Thank you for all the handy tips! :o)
Great tips thankyou
Great presentation!

Very pertinent, thanks
Guilty of too many to mention. 😅 Thank you for sharing this! 🙏 and ❤

Do you have a video for the Toaster Oven Air Fryer combo please ?
I'm still wondering if I made a mistake by getting the combo and not strictly the air fryer alone ...
Спасибо! С самого начала использования ни одной ошибки я не сделала за 2 года эксплуатации. Но кому- то это разъяснение очень полезно!!

@just_passing_throughno one cares. Just cook it longer
@detroitnuga single sentence just ended that redditors career. Well done

Спасибо дорогой друг,вы дали очень полезные советы❤

I haven't even unboxed my air fryer yet, so thank you for the tips and I WILL read the instruction manual!!!

I do the liner under grill method ... it helps catch grease that would wind up sticking to walls of drain pipes ... my 2 cents.
Great Video ! Thank you just discovered your channel I'm hooked !
Liners definitely reduce the cleaning effort, and I love that. I use them with the crisper tray, and cleaning just the tray is way easier than scrubbing grease off the heavy, clunky carriage by hand.
Just ordered the Oil Mister from your link. I tried a few before and the mist was horrible.
Merci 👌
I use a silicone liner. It has ridges on it so air flows under better than paper that I’ve used for years.
Just found you mate, Guilty off all , Love the water tip for pizza , Subscribed.
Yes guilty of them all, gonna start again with a new air fryer, Thanks mate.
Subscribed. No parchment paper, except with veggies.
And I say, salmon fillets, and what i am cooking tonight, crab cakes.
No preheat needed. Got it
Pat dry. Done.
Oil: light mist avocado oil, like i have been doing already
Pizza reheat: Add a bit of water to basket. Good idea
HAND WASH is best. I do that.
شكرا جزيلا على النصاءح
I cook bisquits & frozen pizza in my air fryer. Turns out fine. Been told you can't do that😊.
It does 😊
Thanks for saving my pizza❣️
