Speaker 1 (00:00):
What are some things you should never cook in the
air fire? We got an air fryer, we don't use
it a whole lot because then we haven't eat a
lot of stuff that you put in.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The air fryer.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Like I was like, I want an air fryer for
the purpose of jalapeno poppers, French fries.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Right, and then we just end up not using it.
I think pizza and bacon.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's really really good to reheat pizza and French fries.
You can actually bring the fries back to life if
you like took them home from a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, every time Warren sees me reheating pizza in the microwave,
he always brings it up, and he's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
The air fryer is the best way.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's sometimes it takes longer, right, Yeah, but it's like
a thing. I gotta pull it out, and I gotta
take a paper towel and wipe out whatever was cooked
in it last, And I'm like, eh, like a lot
of work.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I do feel like anytime I have reheated pizza in
the air fryer, the outside is always perfect, but the
inside's cold, and then so I have to throw it
in the microwave real fast.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
These are the things that you should not put in
the air fryer. They say, don't put toast in the
air fryer. Why would you. It leaves bread dry and crumbly. Instead,
they suggest using a.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Toaster, that's what it's for. Yeah, no one should have.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Had to tell you, told that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, these are real obvious to me, Like, these are
things I never would even think that soup, anything liquid
is not good to put in the air fryer. And
we'll have a really messy cleanup. You'll create an electrical
hazard too.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Who's putting soup in the wine?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And you're obviously putting the bowl in there too, because
my air fryer's full of holes.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, right right, because it's air frying right pasta. You
can't really cook dried pasta without water. And again, the
liquid doesn't do great in there. I wonder if you
had a piece of lasagna, could you put that in there?
But even that, that's going to drip through those holes
and all, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
If you put it on tinfoil, tinfoil or sometimes your
air fryer might come.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
With like a little a little plate. Oh go in there.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, but isn't the point isn't the point of if
you start covering up the holes with tinfoil, doesn't it
not air fry wells it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Isn't the air surround like that?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But I would think a chicken cord on blue would
be perfect an air fryer.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I think you'd be right.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, but if you're putting tinfoil on the bottom to
place Brussels sprout from the top, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, how can you get how can you tell us
if you don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm just saying a lot of people use tinfoil, so
obviously it's not just from the bottom.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Loose leafy greens not good for the air fryer.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
You know what, These people that you're talking to don't
get to have an air fryer. Yeah, just return it
because you're not doing it right. Leavy greens in your
air fryer.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You remember the snack Master the Snackman. No, it was
my favorite infomercial and that lady was her name Kathy.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Look at this lady, surely her name is Kathy.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Which Kathy had the snack Master And it used to
actually infuriate my mother that I watched this because my
mother was a mother that like cooked meals and like
didn't like want junk. And but this lady, she's like,
I know your kids are coming home from school and
they're dying for a piece of cake.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, we are. She would take batter. You put the
batter from the cake and put it in the two wells.
Those deep wells were so good, and you.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Close the snack Master and five minutes later you'd have
a triangle of cake that she'd put a dusty little
powdered sugar on, or some Duncan hines frosting.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Okay, that's great, but now you've made cake? What else
can you do with this?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Kathy? You make omelets in the snack Master? Oh okay,
so anything that can go in a.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Hot cup, anything in the olets cake soup.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So you clearly weren't allowed to have this as a kid.
And how many things you made things all the time
in there, didn't you? Just like out of spite?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That was like your easy bake oven.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You got yourself like a boy version of the easy
bake oven.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's kind of what it was.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, you could make pizza pockets, French toast.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh, I could do it se Yeah, the latest thing
Kathy's done is the dump pan.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Remember the dump pan. Everybody's doing a dumpan.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Alice and definitely no the U.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I purchased the set of dump pants based on that infomercial,
and they showed up in warns like you cook nothing
in this house.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
How much money is Kathy making?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I don't know, but all I could not stop watching
that infomation. I'm like, infomercial. I was like, wait, you
put a box of dry pasta in something, open a
jar and throw a brick of cheese in there, and
it's gonna automatically.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Come out of the I am buying that.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
He was warm, was so irritated. He's like, you don't
cook a thing. I'm like, I don't, I know, but
dump pants are magic?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
But did you say to him but you do so
you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Like this, Yeah you didn't see it that way, Chelsea.
Oh my gosh, this guy. I can't. I can't with
anymore that dump that dump pant.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Forget about the product, forget about dump pants. That infomercial
was awesome. Just magic is happening, Like just the whole
forty five minutes, however.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Long an infomercial is.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That gonna work, all right, Just abandon it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I'm not putting any but that's one last thing for
mom to put away later on. Right now, I always
keep a tray of pizza fixings in the refrigerator so they.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Can make I always keep a tray of pizza fixing.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Right out of a jar. Just spread it on your bread.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
She's taking white bread, Okay, she's spooning pizza sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's the snack Master. Yes, this is what I watch
as a kid. I loved it. I wanted it so bad.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
And then any kind of topping, you like any topping? Now,
the kids are real fond in my house of pepperoni,
So I'm just.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Gonna She's making pepper right, and she puts it in
the snack Master.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Through the magic of television.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm going to fast forward here because I'm hoping that
I might be able to show you there she is
making the cake.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
That's what does the ceiling of your scan.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Everything Alison gets sealed in the snack Master, and then
she's making.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Lightly brushing these. You don't want to put too much
butter or margarine.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Do you think that maybe you're gonna want another one
like safe for Smiths or oh.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I encourage you to buy anyone. Do they still make them?
I don't think they make them anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I just feel bad that all along, I haven't been
having a tree full of pizza fixings in my fridge
ready to go. Like once that got said, I'm like,
how are we not doing that?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh God, it's so great.

We could be eating bread, pizza.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You could be you too can be eating bread. And
then she made apple pie with the apple pie filling bread.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
It's an apple pie can and it's all hot and
seal so you can send it off to work or
off the school in the lunch pail. I'm going to
dustmine with just a little bit of powdered Yes.
