A rainy day is a good air fryer day!

It has been raining all day - not heavy, just nice steady rain...We need it badly so I won't complain.
So I decided today is a good day to do some air frying since I am 'up to here' with fresh veggies and need a break! I have my 'fries' soaking in ice water and my taste buds are getting excited for air fried fries.
I am finding since we are eating so many garden veggies that we have not had potatoes or rice very often. I need some starch!
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

How is that fryer Abby? I bet the food comes out really tasty and nice.
Always wanted one of those.

I love it - I can't eat fried food. My stomach will not tolerate grease/fat. So to air fry is giving me the flavor of frying but not frying it. I use a tiny bit of Olive Oil which you cannot taste and the fries are not greasy they are crisp outside and tender inside.

It is cloudy, muggy and rain is in the forecast. It has to do with that tropical storm that hit the Gulf of Mexico.

@AbbyGreenhill We were just under ( for over an hour ) a tornado warning. I sure am glad nothing came of it. We are having lots of rain at the moment.

It was cloudy this morning and looked like it was going to rain but eventually, the sun came out and it is sunny and hot now. I have heard a lot about the air fryers and I was wondering about what they exactly are. My cousin was looking for one and an instant pot. Could you tell me how it works/cooks, how the food taste, and if you would recommend it to others?

An air fryer is like a convection oven. There is a heating element and hot air blows around and cooks the food. I would recommend it to anyone. They are great - I made coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped shrimp, steak, potatoes, apple turnovers...all kinds of stuff.

@CaseyRoss9966 It would be perfect for a dorm room and cooking healthy - no oil - is a plus!

@AbbyGreenhill That seems like something I would like to have in my dorm room if it can cook all of those things. I am sure it is a lot healthier this way too than a regular old fryer.

How could you get tired of fresh veggies! ;lol
We had fried potatoes yesterday with lunch, and will have mashed potatoes tonight with the pot roast.

I needed some starch - all the veggies are good but the same thing day in and day out gets boring no matter how good - unless of course chocolate ice cream! '

I need a break from any food after a few days! I even need a break from chocolate once in a while.

@AbbyGreenhill The heat will only last until tomorrow. I see that from Monday we will be back to our normal temperature. Tonight with the windows open it will not be hot, but it is now.

My house is always cool - some days cold according to my husband. We never have a problem eating hot food. We got two inches of rain so far in 24 hours.

An fryer is basically new, but it is the same thing as a convection oven. We are expecting bad storms and tornadoes later 5-10 p.

@AbbyGreenhill That's not good. I'll keep you in my prayers. My parents had a convection oven, so I understand about the air fryer. Interesting.

We have an air fryer that we use periodically -- mostly for some kind of frozen potatoes, but I've heard that you can bake and cook other items in it. We used to use a deep fryer, but decided to convert to an air fryer for health reasons. I have to say that there are a few times when the air cooking did not taste quite as good, but for the most part it is a great substitute.

I have made steak, coconut shrimp, apple turnovers from scratch, fresh potatoes, frozen potatoes, wings....get yourself an air fryer cookbook and you will be surprised how many things you can make.
Bacon wrapped shrimp for my husband...uses are endless.
I got my cookbook from QVC they have good ones.
