I Tried the Most IMPOSSIBLE Air Fryer Recipes – I'm Speechless!

[00:00] Thanks Tyer for sponsoring this video.

[00:02] Air fryer. They are supposed to be

[00:04] convenient, making your life easier. And

[00:06] on today's video, I'm going to be

[00:07] testing some impossible recipes. Have

[00:10] you ever made mac and cheese in an air

[00:12] fryer? You will see the results I'll be

[00:14] getting today. But most importantly, how

[00:16] about steak? You love steak? I love

[00:18] steak. I've gotten some okay results,

[00:20] but never perfect. I just finished

[00:23] eating this steak right here, and I'm

[00:26] completely speechless. And I start off

[00:28] with my favorite piece of meat. These

[00:30] are pecas, the greatest steak in the

[00:33] world. So after seasoning them with

[00:34] salt, pepper, and garlic powder, the

[00:36] next thing I needed to do was to allow

[00:37] the salt to penetrate deeply in there.

[00:39] So I set them down on a cooling rack and

[00:41] stuck them in my refrigerator for 2

[00:43] hours. That was perfect because now it

[00:44] allowed me time to test some other

[00:46] things with this air fryer. This is a

[00:48] very innovative air fryer. And I'm going

[00:50] to run it to some crazy tests because

[00:52] take a look at this. Have you ever made

[00:54] a mac and cheese in an air fryer? Me

[00:56] neither. Because check out how this is

[00:57] put together. I got the large bottom

[00:59] container, added cheddar cheese,

[01:01] followed by a generous amount of

[01:02] American cheese. After that, I just

[01:04] added plain macaroni without being

[01:06] cooked. Then I threw in some paprika,

[01:08] followed by garlic powder, some black

[01:10] pepper, some salt, and MSG. Then I added

[01:13] 1 cup of water, followed by 1 cup of

[01:15] milk. The only thing left to do now was

[01:17] to stuck it in the air fryer and set it

[01:19] to 330° F for 15 minutes. Once 10

[01:22] minutes was up, I took it off. And look,

[01:24] it didn't look that appetizing. That's

[01:26] because it needed to be stirred. At

[01:28] first, I thought there's no way this is

[01:31] going to work. But the more I mixed it,

[01:33] I started becoming a believer. One of

[01:35] the interesting things about this air

[01:36] fry is that it has dual heating

[01:38] elements, one on the bottom and one on

[01:40] the top, unlike any other. And as you

[01:42] can clearly see, the more I mix this,

[01:44] the creamier this thing became. But of

[01:46] course, it needed more milk. So, I went

[01:48] ahead and added, mixed it a little bit

[01:49] more, and in it goes for another 5

[01:51] minutes. Once the time was up, I took it

[01:53] out and take a look at it. It definitely

[01:56] needed more milk as the pasta was

[01:58] completely absorbing everything. To

[02:00] finish this off, I added pink of

[02:02] breadrumbs so that I can get a nice

[02:04] crunch. I put it right back in for an

[02:06] additional 5 minutes. And once that was

[02:07] done, I was now ready to try. I'm going

[02:09] to be honest with you guys, I am shocked

[02:12] by the results so far. And I mean, it's

[02:14] not the best mac and cheese I've ever

[02:16] made, but the convenience of this is

[02:19] just absolutely ridiculous. But the

[02:20] taste is always the most

[02:24] important. I cannot believe it actually

[02:28] worked. Seriously, everybody, I know

[02:30] you're going to ask me, is it a perfect

[02:31] mac and cheese? No, it's not perfect,

[02:34] but it tastes very nice for what it is.

[02:36] You know, I've been to a few restaurants

[02:38] that serve mac and cheese worse than

[02:40] this. I am amazed that this actually

[02:42] worked. It freaking worked. Yep. I

[02:45] cannot believe how well this worked. And

[02:47] one of my favorite parts about this air

[02:49] fryer is that it has a self-cleaning

[02:51] feature. Cleans at 500° to break down

[02:54] grease and grime. It's going to be easy

[02:55] to clean this up because believe me, for

[02:57] this next dish, I thought it was going

[02:59] to be impossible. It is a blooming onion

[03:02] done directly on the air fryer. Let me

[03:04] show you. First thing to do is to make a

[03:06] seasoned flour. I started with

[03:08] all-purpose flour, followed by paprika,

[03:10] salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

[03:12] Mix that up real good and set it aside.

[03:14] Next, you need a white onion and this a

[03:16] lid of any container. You want to set

[03:18] the onion down just like this because as

[03:20] soon as you start cutting it, it will

[03:22] prevent you from going all the way down,

[03:24] allowing you to cut this perfectly,

[03:26] making the job a lot easier to do. As

[03:28] you can see, once I was done, it made

[03:30] the job a breeze. Next, to remove some

[03:32] of the bitterness of the onion. For

[03:34] that, you just got to soak it in water

[03:36] for a little bit. As once that's done,

[03:37] you want to squeeze all of the excess

[03:39] water. And we got to make a quick

[03:40] batter. First, you throw in some eggs,

[03:42] followed by milk. Mix that up real good

[03:44] and go ahead and soak the onion in there

[03:46] as now you want to transfer to the

[03:47] seasoned flour. Make sure to add a

[03:49] generous amount of flour between the

[03:50] petals. Believe me when I tell you

[03:52] friends, the more the better here.

[03:54] Repeat the process once again because

[03:56] after adding to the batter one more

[03:58] time, put it down on a bowl and add

[04:00] bread crumbs on top of it. As now you

[04:02] want to set it down on the air fryer and

[04:04] it is now ready to be cooked. Talking

[04:06] about that, this air fryer has 15

[04:08] different types of cooking functions. It

[04:11] can do literally anything. But for the

[04:13] blooming onion, I'm just going to go

[04:14] with the air fryer setting at 375° F for

[04:18] about 20 minutes. But make sure to check

[04:20] it in between so it does not burn. As

[04:22] once the time was up, take a look. That

[04:24] got me super excited. And it was all

[04:27] done on an air fryer. To finish this

[04:29] off, I just added some ranch. And it was

[04:31] now ready to try. If you ever go to a

[04:34] restaurant like Outback Steak Houses and

[04:36] even Texas Roadhouse, they serve this.

[04:38] And the fact that you can do it at home

[04:40] with an air fryer, it is absolutely

[04:43] amazing to me. Let's see if it tastes as

[04:45] good as it looks.

[04:49] Cheers. I was skeptical with this one.

[04:52] I'll be honest with you. I thought it

[04:53] was going to burn because the heating

[04:54] element is so close. As you can see, got

[04:56] a little bit of char. Yes. But it's just

[04:58] like nice crispiness. It is exactly what

[05:01] you want. I can't believe it. This is a

[05:03] 20 out of 10. Seriously. And it worked

[05:06] extremely well. I can't believe it's so

[05:08] good. It's so good. Damn, man. Now, I

[05:11] was ready for some protein. This is

[05:13] super simple and easy to make. You first

[05:15] want to cut down your chicken breast

[05:16] just like this. Make sure to make a

[05:18] generous amount, especially if your air

[05:20] fryer has a high capacity like mine. To

[05:22] season it, I just used a barbecue rub.

[05:24] Since there's no salt involved, make

[05:26] sure to be generous with it. Once it's

[05:28] fully seasoned, you want to wrap it in

[05:29] bacon. Just make sure to keep the seams

[05:31] down. As once you're done, you want to

[05:33] lay it down just like this on your air

[05:35] fryer, one at a time. The dual heat on

[05:37] this air fryer will cook the bacon

[05:39] perfectly. I just set it to 350° F and

[05:42] I'm going to let it go for about 20

[05:44] minutes. Once the time was up, take a

[05:46] look. It cooked it to perfection. Only

[05:48] thing left to do was to plate it up. Add

[05:50] a little spicy mayo to it. And it was

[05:52] now ready for a taste test. I'm going to

[05:54] go a little bit with the Sriracha mayo

[05:56] right here.

[05:58] Cheers. Oh my god. M. It is steaming

[06:01] hot. It is so good. And it's perfectly

[06:04] golden brown, which the air fryer is

[06:06] fantastic for it. As it's a convection

[06:08] oven, it's heating everything evenly.

[06:11] It's just chicken and bacon, but it just

[06:13] hits right. You know what I

[06:14] mean?

[06:17] Wow. Probably one of the easiest thing

[06:19] to make on an air fryer. But now, now

[06:23] remember, this air fry is quite big. So,

[06:25] I want to see what happens when you cook

[06:27] a pizza on it, fresh and frozen. Let's

[06:31] see how it stacks up. First thing to do

[06:32] is to preheat the air fryer. Once the

[06:34] time is up, I went ahead and grabbed

[06:35] some fresh dough, laid it straight down

[06:37] as I want to first precook the whole

[06:39] thing. After 10 minutes, take a look. It

[06:42] pre-cooked it nicely because the dual

[06:44] heating is the key of this air fryer.

[06:46] Next, I went ahead and brushed a

[06:47] generous amount of olive oil throughout

[06:49] the whole thing. Then, I added some

[06:50] pizza sauce, followed by a generous

[06:52] amount of fresh mozzarella. Then, back

[06:54] into the air fryer it went. Once the

[06:56] time was up, I took it off and I was

[06:58] shocked because take a look at this

[07:00] pizza. It cooked it to perfection. Nice

[07:03] golden brown color and it reminded me

[07:05] almost like faukatcha. To finish this

[07:07] pizza off, I added a generous amount of

[07:10] olive oil followed by some fresh basil.

[07:12] This is a fresh dough pizza that was

[07:14] cooked on an air fryer. I mean,

[07:17] seriously, I was looking forward to see

[07:19] the best part, which is the taste

[07:21] test. I mean, I mean, the proof is in

[07:24] the pudding, everybody. To me, it's very

[07:26] similar to faukatcha. Not really

[07:27] Neapolitan style pizza, but

[07:29] nevertheless, man, I am excited to try.

[07:31] I'm actually more excited to try the

[07:33] crust. So, let's give it a

[07:35] go. Oh, wow. It's super crispy the

[07:41] front. Oh, wow. It's actually good. It's

[07:44] actually very good. Wow. This is not an

[07:46] Italian pizza whatsoever. It is nice and

[07:49] crunchy. It baked the bottom perfectly,

[07:51] which is what you want. This crust is

[07:53] golden brown. The fact that I don't have

[07:55] to heat up my pizza oven in order to

[07:58] make a New York style pizza. It's super

[08:00] quick and easy. I mean, it doesn't beat

[08:03] that. It's so good. Just in case you're

[08:05] wondering, you can obviously make frozen

[08:07] pizza as well. There's a function for

[08:09] that, too. But next, I wanted the

[08:11] ultimate test, which was my steaks. Take

[08:14] a look at them. Perfectly dry brine. The

[08:16] salt penetrated deeply in there, and

[08:18] it's nice and dry. And hopefully, we're

[08:20] going to get a good crust. I started by

[08:22] setting the function to steak. First

[08:24] thing to do is to let it preheat for 4

[08:25] minutes. Once the time was up, I went

[08:27] ahead and immediately put the steak in

[08:29] there. I got a nice sizzle, too. This

[08:31] was looking promising. As soon as the

[08:33] time was up, I opened it up. And take a

[08:35] look at this crust. I can honestly say

[08:38] the best crust I ever had on an air

[08:40] fryer. I wanted to know if the steak was

[08:42] already fully cooked or not. And for

[08:44] that, they have this tool, which is a

[08:46] wireless thermometer that will sync

[08:48] perfectly with your air fryer. Or you

[08:50] can just use this hub and keep watching

[08:52] it. And I love that it comes with two

[08:54] probes, which is perfect for this cook.

[08:56] So, I went ahead and insert them inside

[08:57] to make sure that they were going to

[08:59] cook to perfection. Then, it immediately

[09:01] went back in. And in no time at all, it

[09:03] was ready. Now, take a look at this

[09:05] crust done on an air fryer. I still

[09:09] cannot believe my eyes. Never was I able

[09:12] to get something like this. So, after

[09:14] letting it rest, it was now time to

[09:16] slice it. And when I did, look at it.

[09:18] What else would you want from a steak

[09:20] done on an air fryer? It looks

[09:22] absolutely incredible. But in the end of

[09:25] the day, we all know the most important

[09:27] thing is always the taste. I'm shocked.

[09:31] I'm seriously shocked. I cannot believe

[09:33] this steak was cooked on an air

[09:38] fryer. I mean, come on. Are you kidding

[09:41] me? It's exactly what you would expect.

[09:44] You know, obviously it's not a charcoal

[09:46] steak, but it is nice and tender,

[09:48] extremely juicy in order to cook things

[09:50] properly, get a nice sear. It is not

[09:53] easy to do, everybody, especially for an

[09:55] air fryer. And you get this kind of

[09:57] results. I mean, it doesn't get any more

[09:59] convenient than this. It's absolutely

[10:01] insane. Steak is delicious. If you are

[10:03] going to use an air fryer to cook a

[10:05] steak, this is the one you want to do it

[10:07] with, everybody, because I am

[10:08] speechless. Seriously, I would love to

[10:10] know which one today was your favorite

[10:12] recipe. But those are the results. I

[10:14] hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you

[10:17] subscriber, be sure to subscribe. And

[10:18] we'll see you guys on the next one. Take

[10:22] to keep enjoying my pikaya on an air

[10:24] fryer.
