it's barbecue season and it is hot
0:02
outside and I've been using this
0:04
five-star air fryer indoors for just
0:08
about a month so if you live in a small
0:10
space or you like cooking for a family
0:13
or you just don't want the hassle of
0:15
waiting around for your oven to preheat
0:18
then this air fryer might actually save
0:20
you a lot of time and potentially some
0:23
counter space too the biggest standout
0:26
feature is this air fryer runs on a DC
0:29
motor most air fryers are on AC motors
0:33
which tend to run a bit noisier and tend
0:36
to not have variable fan speeds they
0:38
just run at a singular fan speed it does
0:42
run a bit more energy efficient and it
0:44
helps give more even heat distribution
0:47
because the fan speeds are variable so
0:50
your food just cooks more evenly we'll
0:52
take a look at how the noise levels are
0:55
with this air fryer but we'll check the
0:57
level soon with the air fryer you also
0:59
get about nine cooking modes including
1:01
air fry bake proof and broil so you can
1:05
handle everything from salmon to naan to
1:08
crispy French fries to baking banana
1:10
bread and proofing dough or making a
1:14
starter like Polish or chiga so let's
1:16
get into what all I've cooked already in
1:18
this air fryer starting with hash browns
1:20
see in the morning sometimes I want hash
1:23
browns and I don't really want to wait
1:24
around for the oven for that because I
1:26
have so much to do and the hash brown
1:28
just helps complete the meal for me so
1:31
by the time the coffee is brewed the
1:33
eggs are cooked the toast is toasted the
1:35
air fryer has preheated and cooked the
1:38
hash brown in just about 15 minutes
1:41
total and then same goes with chicken
1:43
tikka it's such a good hack to make it
1:46
in the air fryer i can make use of the
1:48
air fry and the broil mode as needed to
1:52
get some beautiful char cook the whole
1:55
recipe with parchment paper in the air
1:58
fryer basket for easy clean up and avoid
2:01
using the oven a baking sheet some water
2:05
to keep things moist and a wire rack
2:08
which is a pain to clean up and wings
2:12
are always great in the air fryer they
2:14
only just need one turn
2:17
a couple minutes of cooking and then
2:19
tossing it in whatever sauce you want i
2:22
made it Korean fried chicken style with
2:25
the homemade goch chang so check that
2:28
out down below it is to die for so are
2:31
these dumplings it's nice hack to use
2:34
some rice paper add whatever filling in
2:37
there and then grease it up air fry it
2:41
some easy to put together dumplings and
2:43
of course with the air fryer mode you
2:45
cannot forget fries that was along with
2:49
the hash browns a primary reason for me
2:51
to get this air fryer and you know it's
2:54
a huge bag of fries in the freezer for
2:57
easy access but the cool thing is I
2:59
actually used the other features in this
3:02
air fryer see I tried to make some
3:04
banana bread and I used the bake mode
3:07
now the good thing is I did not have to
3:10
wait that long for the preheat what I
3:13
did struggle with a little bit is I
3:15
thought it would be done baking way
3:18
faster instead what I thought was it
3:21
cooking quicker was just the top
3:24
browning really quickly i didn't
3:27
anticipate that maybe I should have so I
3:29
covered it up and I baked it hoping it
3:33
would save me time but it took just from
3:35
the same time and the banana bread
3:37
itself was amazing the dish the finish
3:41
the texture the moistness perfect so you
3:46
can bake really easily of course the
3:48
only limit is how much you're baking
3:51
because it does have to fit in that
3:52
basket and then there was paneer tikka
3:55
see the thing with paneer is it's so
3:57
delicate that the more you cook it the
3:59
drier it gets and the worse it is it
4:02
should be nice and moist inside and
4:05
crispy charred outside and the broil
4:08
setting along with the beautiful tasty
4:11
marinade really helped to get the
4:13
texture that I really look for in punit
4:17
that takes me right back to the streets
4:19
of Delhi the broil mode helped me get
4:22
some super good chars you should check
4:24
out that full recipe down below another
4:26
best feature that is super underrated
4:28
but I've used way more than I thought is
4:30
the proof setting and I told you it is
4:33
hot outside the ACs in the unit are
4:36
blasting but you still have to proof
4:38
things you need a certain temperature so
4:41
when I was proofing my pish for a pizza
4:44
that I had today and when I had my naans
4:48
with some paneer the other day I was
4:51
using the air fryer to proof it while
4:54
staying nice and comfy in the unit now I
4:57
did promise that this is not that loud
5:00
but how loud is it well let's take a
5:09
and this is what it is compared to a
5:20
a Ninja Creamy or a creamifier
5:26
now I get that these are all very
5:28
different machines for very different
5:30
tasks of course you cannot make a creamy
5:33
in an air fryer but this helps give you
5:35
some context by the way here's the
5:43
and I did say that there are potential
5:44
space saving options for you if you do
5:47
go with this device for example you
5:49
don't need a toaster if you have this or
5:51
a toaster oven a dehydrator it actually
5:53
can make beef jerky the recipe book that
5:57
comes with it along with so many
5:59
resources online show you how to make
6:01
jerky at home and the in-built basket
6:03
essentially saves space from storing
6:05
huge clunky baking sheets if that's not
6:08
your thing if you are cooking in smaller
6:11
batches and it also is a compact
6:13
squareish kind of design which does look
6:15
kind of good modern so it can just sit
6:18
in a corner not taking much space while
6:20
still looking good in case you are
6:23
looking to find a way to get some
6:25
recipes to use for this air fryer at the
6:27
same time track your macros weight and
6:30
even adjust nutrition and portion sizes
6:33
then check out the VE Sync app it does
6:36
seem to work pretty well and I'm still
6:37
learning all the little things that this
6:39
app has to offer of course I cannot
6:41
replace my oven there are so many
6:44
different instances for example the pan
6:45
pizza that I had tonight that I cannot
6:48
physically make in the air fryer it just
6:52
is not possible now ever since I got
6:54
this air fryer I've used it way more
6:56
than I thought i was afraid that maybe
6:59
it'll just end up being my fry or my
7:01
hash brown machine but I've used it way
7:03
more than I thought and also you can't
7:06
compare an air fryer to a microwave or a
7:09
stove it just depends on what you're
7:10
doing with it you can't really heat a
7:12
bowl of chili and rice for example in
7:14
the air fryer or make omelette or French
7:19
omelette in the air fryer things that
7:21
require technique on the stove they
7:24
require a stove and it's been a breeze
7:27
to clean this air fryer i've barely had
7:30
to scrub it and it can easily just fit
7:34
in the dishwasher and trust me if
7:36
something does go wrong with this air
7:38
fryer something that changes my opinion
7:41
just like how it happened with the Ninja
7:43
dual basket air fryer then I'll be the
7:45
first person to tell you i'll let you
7:47
know but if you're still scrolling
7:49
around looking for which air fryer to
7:52
get this summer I would not hesitate i
7:55
saw this air fryer everywhere i took a
7:58
chance and I'm super happy nobody paid
8:01
for it i paid for it myself and of
8:03
course all the recipes that I showcased
8:06
are available link down below there are
8:08
some exclusive short form content that
8:10
you can find on YouTube and also
8:12
Instagram and Tik Tok so check it out
8:14
and I'll see you on the next one
