Air Fryers are very versatile, and you will find many uses for that tool. Its similar to weed eaters and power washers in the respect that once you have one it seems like most things need some weed-eating or power-washing. It takes the fleas right off of the animals, but the animal get a little distant.
It is, as you have found, a convenient complementary technique to Sous Vide, that doesn't sear, brown, or crisp for SH!T!
Several failures have been discovered. You can't brown or crisp a tortilla without pinning it down as the air flow tosses them around otherwise. It is however excellent for melting cheese on top of a tostada, just make sure the cheese is in an enough of a slab to not get airborne, not shredded, trust me or try it yourself. 30 seconds is usually enough if fryer is preheated.

Collard chips were not a big hit unless you really like collards. Puffball mushroom slabs were too light and got pulverized by air flow, though machine does have a dehydrator mode, I was interested in browning them, and already have a bigger dehydrator.

Experiment and enjoy!

Broiled air is damn tasty if you add some mushroom powder!

What I recommend for dried mushroom powder, as I have had lots of experience with the light and very airy puffball powder, is to put an even 4mm layer on the grill of the air fryer with it off. Then start it and quickly, with close visual observation, open it, without using the blower pause button, and experience a total immersion umami experience! It takes the edge off of PTGD, Post Traumatic GRANT Disorder, but alcohol is still the umaminous best practice treatment!

Enjoy Umami

Got me some Ben&Jerry's Salt and Caramel Core ice cream...

That makes for a great dinner.

He, he...management at work uses that term all-of-the-time.

I qualified that "best practice" with the prefix umaminous, rendering the umaminous best practice into adminitraitor lingo while remaining in compliance! she she
I figured after being immersed in grant writing jargon that Loggie might not understand it unless I threw in some management boilerplate in a timely fashion. Can you tell I used to play a manager at work?

I have been pondering on one of the news stories about Big Bird catching BurdFlew or some such Burdypox, with variable medical outcomes, depending on Party association. Dems die, Repubs Live and Free, Indecisives purrsistant vegetative state...

Which is a long way of getting around how Big Bird at 8"2 show be cooked if he took a bad turn. I was thinking of a large hot tub and a waterbed bladder for the MOAR SOUS VIDE MAGNUM. During the years Big Bird's weight has been creeping up, as a few of us, from 160 pounds to approaching 300! I dont think a hours/pound formula would work out. I figure 145 F for 24 hrs, with probably some adjustments. Greger will suggest 2-3 days.

So how many people should this serve?
I very briefly considered a whole animal deep fat fry but I think there is an exclusion for that activity in my fire insurance!

Reheated Thai, by the way!

Make sure you have enough for the hundreds of enough therapists who will be needed to console the bereaved, nay, broken-hearted children.

You’ll have to guess how many of those therapists will be vegetarian if not vegan.

HelloMello,
NO NOT THAT!
Maybe they could help the children cope by getting them involved with the process of dealing with loss.
Big Bird won't pull himself

What about a free range Vegetarian?
