Step-by-Step Cooking Adventure

HotDog 🌭

First up, I tried cooking hotdogs. These are a staple snack, and I wanted to see if the air fryer could give them that perfect crispy outside while keeping the inside juicy.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
2. Place the hotdogs in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Results:

The hotdogs came out perfectly browned and had a nice snap when bitten into. The air fryer aced this first test!

French Fries 🍟

Next, I moved on to French fries. Achieving a crispy exterior with a soft interior can be tricky, but the air fryer promised great results with less oil.

Instructions:

1. Cut potatoes into thin strips and soak them in water for 30 minutes.
2. Drain and pat dry the potato strips.
3. Toss the potatoes in a little oil and season with salt.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
5. Place the fries in the basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes.

Results:

The fries were crispy, golden, and delicious. This was definitely a success!

Cheese Roll 🧀

For a cheesy treat, I decided to try cheese rolls. These are typically gooey inside with a crunchy exterior.

Instructions:

1. Roll cheese sticks in egg wash and coat with breadcrumbs.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
3. Place the cheese rolls in the basket and cook for 5-6 minutes.

Results:

The cheese rolls turned out crispy on the outside and perfectly melty on the inside, making them an instant hit!

Pork Liempo 🥓

Moving on to something more substantial, I tested pork liempo, hoping the air fryer would render the fat and create a crispy crust.

Instructions:

1. Season pork belly strips with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
3. Place the pork liempo in the basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.

Results:

The pork liempo was beautifully crispy on the outside and tender inside. The air fryer did a fantastic job here!

Chicken Thigh Part 🍗

Chicken thighs can be tricky as they need to cook through while staying juicy and getting a nice crispy skin.

Instructions:

1. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and any preferred seasoning.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
3. Place the chicken thighs in the basket, skin side up.
4. Cook for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness.

Results:

The chicken thighs came out perfectly cooked with crispy skin and juicy meat. Another win for the air fryer!

Chicken Rotisserie 🐔

Finally, the ultimate test: a whole rotisserie chicken. This would really push the air fryer to its limits.

Instructions:

1. Season a whole chicken with your favorite herbs and spices.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
3. Place the chicken in the basket and cook for 45-60 minutes, turning halfway through and checking for doneness.

Results:

The rotisserie chicken was a showstopper. It was golden, crispy, and juicy throughout. The air fryer handled it beautifully!
