STOP Using Your Air Fryer WRONG! — 30 GENIUS Hacks for Seniors Living Alone

🔗 Cookin got to be too much, so I wrote down the easy way. All 415 plus much more. Get em before they're gone: https://www.rubysrecipebox.com Ruby Dawson, Meemaw Ruby to most folks, cooked forty-six years in a South Georgia church kitchen. When it came down to cooking for one, she found the little air fryer most people shove in the cabinet. In this video for seniors living alone, she counts down thirty easy air fryer tricks: the few habits that make fries soggy and set off the smoke alarm, and the old Southern cooking that comes back to life one plate at a time. Her friends gave her some of the best ones. And the whole time, one plain, dime-cheap thing sits on her counter by the machine, the reason her smoke alarm has stayed quiet for two years. She has never told her own children what it is. Until now. In this one, Ruby covers: • The habits that ruin air fryer cooking for one: piling the basket, skipping the heat-up, and the spray can that wears out the coating • Easy dinners for seniors with no oven heated: one pork chop, a crackly baked potato, bacon for one, one ear of corn in its husk • Old Southern recipes cut down to a single plate: fried okra, fried green tomatoes the way the late Lois Brannen of Savannah, Georgia made them, and Lupe Salinas's tortilla chips from San Antonio • Catfish in a yellow mustard bath, Ernestine Pollard's trick from Greenwood, Mississippi, and canned-biscuit beignets from Josette Landry of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana • That plain thing on her counter, and how she finally puts it to work Tell Ruby down in the comments where you're watchin from (town and state) and whether your mama cooked any of these too.
