![]() Hello I am a 40ish single male, disabled and love to cook. There is a specific way that I cook that suits me best. It is all about bulk cooking. The bulk cooking is precooking most of the foods and freezing them so when I want something I just take it out of the freezer and cook it. The way that I cook, using an air fryer uses a lot less fat an estimated 75% less fat and it makes it easier to cook my foods gluten free. Heres an example, I like french fries, but deep frying frencfh fries comes with a lot of excess fat that the fries absorb as they sit in the oil while cooking. With an air fryer a few tablespoons are used and the food comes out just as good in most cases, better in some, and not as good in a very few. Anyway back to the fries. I use a mandolin to slice my potatoes a uniform thickness then use a sharp knife to cut the individual fries. I spray some oil onto the fries, shake it up a bit and then air fry them at a low temp so that the center of the fry cooks. Then I take them out and let them cool, then freeze them and when I am ready for fries I take out my order and air fry them at a high temp to crisp them up. When I do this I start with about three large potatoes or about three pounds, I do not skin the potatoes cause that would just be dumb. So I have about three pounds of frozen half cooked french fries just ready to have that last few minutes of cooking so they can be gobbled up. Since they are frozen cut and precooked I can use them for other things as well. Such as hash browns or chili cheese fries or I posted the recipe for in and out burgers animal fries which are outstanding. I also do this with the chicken, that I use with several different recipes. Anyway thats all I have to say about that..... as samwise gamgee says.... boil them, mash them, stick 'm in a stew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrQVFZx7XX4 -- "There are idiots among us, and they all believe in a god" ~Toidi Uoy |
