  • This dude is legit the most down to earth relaxed high level chef on youtube!
  • Got an air fryer this year. No longer use the oven, like at all. Way faster, way more controllable. The teenager has started to cook for himself, thats the best bit.
  • Hi Andy and Team, I'm Pablo, the Argentinean who lives in Switzerland and who I've written to you several times. I loved your video of Locro, one of our national dishes. I'm very excited about your Saturday videos translated into Spanish. I'd be very happy if you cook Argentine Empanadas, and if you dare to try different fillings. Greetings and may the successes continue. Great Mitch

    I live alone and I use my air fryer instead of my oven most of the time. It’s quicker to get up to heat because it’s much smaller than the oven. It’s worth making a single baked potato rather than firing up the full size oven

    Filet O' Fish was added to the menu because a franchisee in Ohio was losing too much business on Fridays. He was in a big Catholic area and Fridays were a no meat day. His sandwich proved successful and the McDonalds company added it to their menu.

    Amazing human being. Your content is wholesome because you’re sharing fans your talent with a huge smile on your face :)

    7:37 THE SECOND?? I felt the disappointment from here 😂😂 Greetings from Brazil Andy. I love watching your videos, and I also have an air frye
  • @FantasyYeet
    We need a new show Andy. 1. You sit on the table. 2. Your wife ask "Babe, what ya want?" 3. You say for example "Birria Tacos from my book" 4. Your wife makes it following your steps. 5. Then she brings you the food A little bit of reverse roles ya know. I think it would be fun and everyone would love it.

    I came here from your Biryani video from 9 months ago, and the things you say about Protein content and energy density perfectly reflect the change in your appearance since then.
  • Also, fun fact: The Fillet o Fish was originally tested by a devout Catholic McDonald’s franchisee in Cincinnati, Ohio, who wanted to be able to offer the many Catholics in his area an option for Lent (no meat allowed on Fridays, I think??). He was told it would never work. And here we are 62 years later talking about it!
  • Only 60% in Australia? I bet that number is higher in the USA. Thanks for the education. I’ve learned a ton😊
  • Andy, I’ve had an air fryer for the last 6 years (actually on my 2nd airfryer). It’s been an absolute game changer in the kitchen and for busy households or working parents. It’s a delight for weeknights. My current AF is an oven type which is multifunctional- air fryer, oven, dehydrator, defroster, rotisserie. I’ve made a number of things with it and I cannot see my life without one now.

    I really love the honesty of this post. Yeah, sometimes the cheapo not so good for you food will still win for some people just for the memories it triggers. Nicely done team. I've got an air-fryer option in my oven, which was a deliberate choice as I don't have a lot of counter space.

    I'm a Kiwi in Wellington cooking for one. I have an air frier and use it all the time. Its basically a little convection oven. I have baked in it. It cooks the best roast pork - lovely crackling. I have even cooked steaks and chops in it - The outside seals quickly and the inside is moist and juicy. Best thing about the air frier is I wash it in the dishwasher . I hate cleaning ovens.
  • This channel has helped me cook more at home, and I've started incorporating my air fryer more. It's not a super expensive one, but it is perfect for a nice handful of seasoned vegetables, or even for re-heating certain foods. Love it!
  • @toopok4k3
    I hardly use my air fryer for anything, but doing "boiled" eggs is the most convenient with an air fryer. Instead of waiting random time for water to boil in a pot and lowering the eggs in. 130 C, 13 mins no preheat in an airfryer gets me perfect 2 hard "boiled" eggs. Increase the time to 14 if your eggs are bigger, or have more of them. Remember to cool the eggs under cold water for some time, longer the better. It's the moisture inside the eggs that condense on the inner surface of the membrane that makes the eggs easier to peel.
  • In NZ, Maccas claim to use Hoki. One of my fav's to buy at the supermarket too when we can get it. I love my air fryer too. Still fine tuning it but i must say a dual drawer one has its perks for cooking different temps/times. My reason for loving the filet at maccas has got to be the steamed bun. Soft, warm, moist fish filled goodness. As for Katelyn picking maccas over Andy's..... Im speechless. Keep it up chef, loving the content.

    i love my air fryer. It is easy when you are only you.. cheers from Denmark
  • @KikoKay-Kay
    Air fryer quick tip. When you do breading based stuff the browning can be lacking. You can fix this quite easy by mixing a bit of oil into the breadcrumbs during the breading. bit. 1-2 tbsp is enough. It works wonders.
