Stop Using Your Air Fryer Wrong! 12 Common Mistakes (A Lunch Lady Ran the Big Version for 35 Years)

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2 or a family): www.dorislunchlady.com/ My granddaughter brought me an air fryer the Christmas after I retired. I told her I had run ovens for a living and did not need a toy. Then I took the basket out and looked up into it. A fan and a coil. That is a convection oven the size of a bread box, and I ran the big version for thirty-five years, four hundred children a day. Soggy. Dry. Dark on top and pale underneath. It is not you, and the machine is not broken. It is twelve mistakes, and every one of them has a fix. Counting down from twelve: the booklet nobody reads, the dishwasher habit that strips the coating, the liner that belongs UNDER the crisper plate and not on top of it, the picture buttons, the frozen meat, the leftover pizza that comes out a crouton, and the one mistake that ruins more air fryer dinners than all the others put together. Number four is one tablespoon of water. Number three is a can most of you have under your sink right now. And number one is why people give up on these machines altogether. I am Mrs. Doris. Thirty-five years behind a school lunch line in Scioto County, Ohio, on a dollar and five cents a tray. TWO SAFETY NOTES: - Never switch the machine on with an empty paper liner in the basket. Nothing holds it down, and it can lift straight into the heating coil. - Cook chicken to 165 degrees in the thickest part. A five dollar thermometer settles it every time. Two things from you down below. How many of the twelve were you doing? And what will yours still not cook right, because somebody down there will know. #airfryer #airfryertips #kitchentips #homehacks #mrsdoris
