I Dropped the Pizza Bowl in 4K!
37sThe unexpected fail (spilling the dish while trying to take a thumbnail) is relatable and humorous, driving shares.
▶ Play ClipThe video tests four popular air fryer recipes: a cottage cheese pizza bowl, parmesan-crusted pork chops, chicken parm, and banana doughnut holes. The presenter shares honest results, including mishaps and adjustments, and ranks the recipes from worst to best.
Base of mozzarella, thyme, garlic powder, and marinara sauce, then topped with more mozzarella, pepperoni, olives, and crushed chilies. Cooked in two stages: first to melt base, then to melt toppings.
Thick-cut bone-in pork chops coated in olive oil, then a mix of parmesan, paprika, garlic granules, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cooked at 200°C for 12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Chicken breast dried, coated in egg and panko breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, then air-fried. After cooking, topped with parmesan and mozzarella and returned to air fryer to melt.
Mashed banana mixed with pancake mix to form dough, shaped into balls, and air-fried at 175°C for seven minutes. Served with a two-ingredient banana glaze (icing sugar and banana).
Rankings: 4th - pizza bowl (good warm, not cold), 3rd - doughnut holes (fiddly but good glaze), 2nd - chicken parm (comfort food), 1st - pork chops (game-changer, juicy and flavorful).

14:31Final rankings of recipes
Provides a clear, honest assessment of each recipe's success, helping viewers prioritize which to try.
18:53[00:00] Whether
[00:00] You've just got yourself an air fryer
[00:03] If you have one for bloomin months
[00:06] today's video could be for you,
[00:08] because I've found
[00:10] that are supposed to be bloomin
[00:13] So this is actually the safest airfryer
[00:16] I'm using today.
[00:17] all the magic will happen in here.
[00:18] And what I do like about this one is
[00:22] So this first one involves cottage cheese
[00:25] looks had like quite a bit of a resurgence
[00:28] It's worth
[00:31] and I love that we can just
[00:34] So that was some grated mozzarella
[00:38] and just a little drop
[00:44] Why does it look more like seafood now?
[00:47] All right, so let's take our, rack out
[00:50] for the time being, which is really good
[00:53] Remember, I used to hate air fryers.
[00:54] I thought they're a fad, but genuinely,
[00:59] Two minutes.
[01:00] all that's going to do is hopefully melt
[01:04] a nice, simple base for our cottage cheese
[01:07] pizza Bowl, I'm using an ovenproof dish.
[01:10] But if you're feeling brave, if you wanted
[01:13] the entire air fryer bucket
[01:16] Oh, that'd be great.
[01:17] As a sharer you just pull the bucket out
[01:22] I really wish I did that now genuinely
[01:25] like sharer where, just like, yep,
[01:30] Oh, that would be great.
[01:33] I'm going to call it there.
[01:33] This smell is amazing and it doesn't
[01:39] now, you know, I don't know
[01:42] Look, that cheese isn't melted yet.
[01:45] This was supposed to be really popular.
[01:47] that mozzarella isn't merged in.
[01:50] But it was starting to brown on the top.
[01:52] You can see around the edges, right back
[01:56] I've increased the temperature slightly
[01:59] Hopefully won't need that.
[02:01] If these recipes are supposed to be
[02:03] in my write up alongside this video
[02:05] I'll let you know any changes
[02:08] because I really want it to work.
[02:09] It's busting the heat in there,
[02:12] to sort of like be all gooey and melted
[02:15] Not at all.
[02:20] Right?
[02:21] Come on. That is roasting.
[02:23] I mean, like I say, it would make an amazing dip.
[02:26] Oh, okay. I'm
[02:28] Yes, I'm still getting
[02:32] hopefully you will see there is that
[02:37] I feel like that is really working.
[02:40] I mean, look at that.
[02:41] Yeah. That's melted mozzarella all right.
[02:43] It's just the cottage cheese lumps be fair
[02:47] I've not used it that often.
[02:48] I thought they would go
[02:49] but no, there's marshmallow
[02:53] I really do like the impact
[02:57] of marinara sauce
[03:00] It's giving it like a a light hue
[03:04] But to make it a pizza bowl or dish,
[03:08] One fresh layer
[03:12] Some more mozzarella on top I'm doing this
[03:17] to me, Barry, whenever you do pizza,
[03:21] That is because I love pepperoni.
[03:23] I'm going to do olives, something
[03:26] fan of growing up, but I think it's just
[03:30] I gradually have started to like
[03:34] So yeah, a fairly plain
[03:37] But then I'm going to put on some crushed
[03:38] because I have got an absolute mountain
[03:41] So I'm keeping it
[03:43] but just warming it
[03:44] Hopefully that base I mean
[03:48] It should warm up quite quickly
[03:51] And primarily it's the heat from above
[03:54] I'm going to shimmy
[03:57] And to make it pop whilst it's still warm.
[04:00] some basil that I chopped up.
[04:02] I think that looks awesome
[04:05] Oh no.
[04:08] No no oh no.
[04:11] Come on... oh no!
[04:17] Folks, if you don't know,
[04:19] I try and take a thumbnail
[04:23] of me holding it.
[04:24] I was just about to do that.
[04:26] I don't know if you caught.
[04:27] Oh, you did catch some of that damn
[04:29] It is in 4K as well.
[04:30] I was supposed to be going like that
[04:34] trying to show.
[04:37] Oh hmmm. A line from one of my favourite films
[04:43] that considering
[04:44] I don't really like cottage cheese
[04:48] I'm loving adding the chilli to it.
[04:50] sort of warmth and kick,
[04:52] but that original work
[04:54] not just adding the mozzarella
[04:57] is probably taking
[04:59] For me, that is absolutely gorgeous.
[05:02] I'm not saying
[05:04] I know we talked about perhaps
[05:06] but amazing for a party share, right?
[05:08] Whilst it's still warm,
[05:10] but then tortilla chips in this right
[05:14] And of course you can play around with it
[05:16] They do low fat cottage cheese
[05:17] too... I would probably do the first step
[05:20] much quicker in a microwave,
[05:24] But as we saw with a bit of patience,
[05:27] So that is a win. A very messy win.
[05:30] Right, the air fryer has been cleaned.
[05:32] That stuff got everywhere.
[05:33] Recipe number two involves
[05:37] in my opinion, ever,
[05:42] I can hand on heart, say Mrs.
[05:44] B and I, since we've met each other,
[05:45] have never,
[05:50] At home. We both joked that as youngsters,
[05:52] They were quite a staple.
[05:53] Growing up we had them
[05:55] And I really like pork in other recipes.
[05:57] But what it does is triggers
[05:59] like really like bland, dry, stiff,
[06:03] But apparently, air frying
[06:07] With a crust,
[06:10] So let's find out.
[06:12] All So these are some thick cut pork chops
[06:16] in which should hopefully help
[06:19] If you get one without the bone
[06:21] The only thing with the bone in really is
[06:23] it can increase the cooking time,
[06:26] However, we're not cooking
[06:29] It's going to be slightly raised off
[06:32] so the air can circulate through it fully,
[06:37] oh my gosh, what is going on today?
[06:41] I was told to add
[06:44] So we're going to do both sides
[06:46] You get air fryer oils.
[06:48] Don't buy that.
[06:49] Just buy oils with a high smoke
[06:52] I just remember like as a kid, like having
[06:56] I mean, I don't think my mum rested them.
[06:58] It was just
[06:59] And there you go. You dinner's ready.
[07:00] But for the time being before I do
[07:03] So these are going to be parmesan crusted
[07:07] I've never tried anything on a pork chop
[07:10] I need to banish these memories
[07:13] salt and pepper with the parmesan
[07:17] some Italian seasoning.
[07:18] And last but not least,
[07:21] which is, I think, a former wrestler.
[07:23] Actually on a subject to wrestling,
[07:24] that I'm friends with in my village
[07:26] She's lovely.
[07:27] Her name is Hayley and I know she
[07:30] If anyone knows Wade Barrett,
[07:34] if I could somehow
[07:35] get a video message from him
[07:38] If anyone's
[07:39] got any way of contacting that person,
[07:42] And all of a sudden it does straight away
[07:48] Oh wow.
[07:49] Okay, surely these have to taste exciting.
[07:52] Let's get them on the rack.
[07:54] this time though.
[07:55] It's a much higher heat all the way up
[08:02] with it being a fan, normally you take
[08:05] I'm still trying to understand
[08:07] when it's a much smaller version,
[08:11] at the six minute stage.
[08:12] We'll flip it over, see what's happening,
[08:15] the seasoning doesn't just sort of
[08:18] That was why I really pressed it down.
[08:20] This is supposed to be good
[08:23] I'm going to change my mind
[08:24] and actually make something
[08:28] If you've got a food
[08:30] I want to say blancmange,
[08:32] Let me know down below
[08:34] But then also, maybe it's a memory thing.
[08:37] Oh my word.
[08:39] that's really caught
[08:40] well.... Oh yeah okay.
[08:42] So not so great. That side.
[08:44] Right. Let's push this side too
[08:48] Oh Certainly the most
[08:50] colourful pork chops I'll ever have
[08:54] Oh my gosh, that's the one folks.
[08:58] Yeah.
[08:58] This one looks way
[09:01] I guess it's okay. It's
[09:03] You've got that huge rind.
[09:05] Some foil on top
[09:08] It's been about ten minutes.
[09:09] Look at these juices
[09:13] In that time,
[09:15] I did actually have
[09:19] And I can confirm once it's
[09:22] Can I banish the memory
[09:30] That is incredible.
[09:31] That is incredible.
[09:33] Yes. Whoa!
[09:35] After all these years,
[09:38] Maybe that's where the phrase comes from
[09:42] I'm not even talking about the coating.
[09:44] It's the consistency
[09:46] the juiciness in there.
[09:47] I have never had a pork chop taste
[09:50] Where's the dryness?
[09:54] flavour packed a nice little crunch.
[09:55] Also not too overpowering.
[09:57] memories of having a pork
[10:00] and also cutting
[10:03] Now I know some of
[10:06] I personally just can't do it.
[10:08] But I tell you what.
[10:11] That is absolutely phenomenal.
[10:13] mentioned previously how I spent
[10:14] four summers in, Massachusetts
[10:18] That was a day camp.
[10:19] So I arrived on a yellow bus
[10:22] And I had a host family.
[10:23] And I'll never forget the first meal
[10:28] The lady who hosted me, Cindy,
[10:32] her mom actually made something called
[10:35] what the heck is that?
[10:36] And if you're in America, you're like,
[10:38] I've never heard of it before.
[10:39] And it was rustled up in a right flash
[10:42] Proper comfort food.
[10:44] Here is some egg yolk seasoned
[10:48] Apparently chicken parm in an air
[10:54] Proper juicy.
[10:55] Actually, I guess with some of the
[10:59] this should be amazing.
[11:00] I'm not going to add flour.
[11:02] It's just breadcrumbs straight in.
[11:04] So these are some panko bread crumbs
[11:07] But you can buy ones with seasoning.
[11:09] panko bread crumbs is like grated stale
[11:14] You know what it means.
[11:15] Stale too much some Italian seasoning
[11:19] from America was a little bit
[11:23] Everyone's got their own way of doing it,
[11:27] It's like you in your roast dinner.
[11:29] Your nan's was always the best.
[11:30] And we've been here before.
[11:31] So rather than using flour,
[11:33] using a little bit of kitchen towel
[11:36] And once you're doing the wet hand,
[11:39] fluff it up a little bit
[11:42] Lay that in Beautiful.
[11:43] It's amazing how much that dries out.
[11:46] into the wet flippy with the wet.
[11:49] And then a bit more aggressive
[11:52] Awesome. So I've got a wire rack behind me.
[11:54] I'm just going to layer it back there
[11:56] having it
[11:57] so it to dry out with that
[12:00] Spray oil in and around
[12:02] Some of you guys might remember that
[12:07] Oil spray, which was just a generic one
[12:09] They just relabelled it.
[12:10] And charged you more,
[12:12] You might find that useful.
[12:14] This is just sunflower oil.
[12:15] So a higher smoke point than olive oil.
[12:17] And I'm not preheating this air fryer.
[12:19] So I am adding slightly more
[12:23] just by a couple
[12:26] But halfway through again,
[12:28] Hope that most of that panko
[12:30] We've had parmesan crusted pork.
[12:32] We might have parmesan crusted chicken,
[12:33] but it will have another enhancement once
[12:37] All right.
[12:37] So I am feeling fairly
[12:39] We've got the charring on the breadcrumbs
[12:42] The only concern for me is that this is a
[12:48] It's ripping some of the coating off.
[12:50] No no.
[12:53] Oh. Maybe tongs were a bad choice.
[12:55] Let's try getting under this one
[13:00] Okay.
[13:01] Still a little bit left there.
[13:03] Turn that over. Okay.
[13:06] Normal service is resumed.
[13:08] It's a bit patchy,
[13:10] like I've talked about in the past,
[13:13] We'll try and hide our chicken in a bit.
[13:15] All right, that's out there.
[13:18] Well, you can see the chicken breast.
[13:21] but don't worry.
[13:24] I know you're not worried for me.
[13:26] You thinking I'm going to do this way
[13:28] like, the icing on a cake.
[13:30] I am going to prioritise the areas
[13:34] Gone but not forgotten.
[13:35] Beautiful. See no one needs to know
[13:40] okay.
[13:41] Maybe they do.
[13:42] some more parmesan and some mozzarella.
[13:45] See we've hidden the crime.
[13:50] And I'm just going to give
[13:52] It's already cooked through and we've
[13:57] eventually we got there right.
[14:00] Well hey look at that.
[14:02] I am actually over the moon
[14:05] I was a little scared
[14:09] but we've actually managed to patch it all
[14:12] Air fryers didn't exist
[14:15] Let's try it now.
[14:16] All right. It's slicing really easy.
[14:18] I'm probably just going to take a small bit
[14:19] because I literally just eaten
[14:23] Yep. Food triggers memories, right?
[14:25] That just tastes identical
[14:27] I guess
[14:29] Tomatoes, cheese, breaded chicken.
[14:31] Why is chicken always so juicy from an air
[14:35] It's gorgeous.
[14:36] Probably lost about 20% of the coating
[14:39] Remember we actually double coated.
[14:40] It is gorgeous and crunchy and crispy
[14:44] in that too... absolute stonker right.
[14:46] Last up I've got a bit of a sweet tooth.
[14:48] And this is probably the easiest
[14:51] This dessert and I think actually more
[14:54] But some of you guys
[14:55] why are you using that air fryer today?
[14:57] Where's Alan and where's Hugh?
[14:59] Well, basically Alan had a safety recall
[15:02] that we've put through it,
[15:03] we have been using Alan in the home
[15:07] I don't want to send it back because
[15:09] And it's Alan. Right?
[15:11] Barry. Alan,
[15:13] The last video we did,
[15:17] pretty much caught on fire.
[15:18] I think I've actually gone
[15:21] to actually hoarding air fryers,
[15:25] I'm still looking out.
[15:25] We've tested a few at the moment.
[15:27] This is the one we're using.
[15:30] Like what just happened to that chicken
[15:32] It's not great.
[15:33] The ones in those air fryers
[15:36] Still, with the airflow in there
[15:37] that you could scoop up much easier
[15:40] Well, every gap at every opportunity.
[15:41] this is, ripe banana.
[15:45] And don't worry, I'm not going to mix it
[15:47] and try and make some sort of
[15:50] Mashed banana.
[15:51] Okay.
[15:52] A staple food for me as a toddler.
[15:53] This used to love that.
[15:55] pancake mix going in there,
[15:59] it is starting to form, well,
[16:04] And if I just get my hands in there
[16:06] just to work it a little bit more.
[16:08] Oh it smells like very sweet
[16:11] I don't know how to explain that
[16:14] We're making banana doughnut holes.
[16:17] We could just make a giant one.
[16:18] But I'm gonna just rip off,
[16:24] Oh, gosh,
[16:26] But we've got to go with it.
[16:28] Because apparently
[16:31] And we have to be honest,
[16:34] despite some honest mishaps,
[16:37] They've been all right.
[16:39] I don't know how many
[16:40] I'm going to do based on this
[16:43] And I'm going to be quite happy
[16:47] For now.
[16:47] I've got some backup if needed,
[16:52] 175C very specific for seven minutes.
[16:57] Apparently they should puff up, go
[17:00] just like well.... a donut.
[17:03] All right.
[17:04] Yeah.
[17:07] Well, they're definitely browned.
[17:09] They smell like banana bread.
[17:13] Oh no.
[17:17] Yes. Stuck.
[17:19] Look at this rack.
[17:20] This is the thing about this airfryer.
[17:22] It's actually wedged into it.
[17:25] So I will get it off.
[17:28] I will.
[17:32] But, you know, like, despite all this,
[17:34] this might actually taste quite good.
[17:41] It's not a doughnut.
[17:42] That is the texture of an English scone.
[17:44] slightly crumbly and made to be split open
[17:48] Well, we're not going to split open
[17:51] We're going to make a banana glaze.
[17:57] So we're just basically making
[17:59] a banana glaze, adding in icing sugar
[18:03] until we're happy with it.
[18:06] a very quick two ingredient banana glaze.
[18:10] Couldn't make that in the air fryer.
[18:11] Sorry..... baking tray
[18:13] But we are masking that browned
[18:17] definitely browned
[18:20] We've had three good and finishing off with this.
[18:26] It's not a doughnut,
[18:30] I want to put that on other things now.
[18:31] Like a banana
[18:34] Oh, that is nice. And now it's cooled
[18:37] I'm noticing
[18:37] more of a slightly fluffier texture, but
[18:41] I get why they've called it that.
[18:42] I think Dunkin Doughnuts. When I was over,
[18:45] doesn't taste like a pancake either.
[18:46] It is a sweet banana infused treat
[18:52] All right,
[18:53] in fourth place,
[18:57] Gorgeous. Warm.
[18:58] Okay, I tipped out everywhere, but cold
[19:01] Warm. Love it.
[19:02] I think in third place it would be these.
[19:05] They're great.
[19:05] They're a little bit fiddly.
[19:08] if you want to get by to help bond it quicker.
[19:10] But that glaze did blow my mind.
[19:12] It was good.
[19:13] It kind of worked.
[19:14] Second place
[19:16] Proper comfort food.
[19:17] The rack
[19:20] but then you didn't for the doughnut
[19:22] They are so fine.
[19:23] Those lines, But in first place,
[19:27] It has literally opened up a new avenue
[19:30] The food that I've just
[19:34] But it triggered so many memories of this dry,
[19:38] that crusted pork chop was the complete
[19:42] I hope you found the video interesting,
[19:46] Summarise pork chops for you as a kid.
[19:50] Quite bland and we had them a lot.
[19:53] crusted air fried pork chop.
[19:56] Wow, that's
[19:59] I know, I want pork chops all the time
[20:01] now, that's really nice.
