Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I have a microwave and I just got a brand new air fryer and I’m stoked. I’m trying out recipes as I go along, but I really like it for making bacon and just reheating my bacon. I didn’t get one that has all the bells and whistles on it. Mine just has knobs and I love it. I don’t have to program it just to make food. 👏👏👏
I don’t know if I replied 🤦🏻♀️ it’s been crazy being sick. Try mozzarella string cheese wrapped in bacon. I don’t remember temperature and time. I think 350-400. Put foul underneath because cheese ozzzes. Took longer in mine than the guy in video he was using different brabd. I have instant pot brand. Nothing fancy.
👍
Cool! Glad you are enjoying it. Maybe you can teach me some things. My toaster oven can air fry but I haven’t figured it out. It’s more like a convection oven than air fry, heck it might do both. My 30 year old toaster oven died a couple years ago, actually it was half dead about 5 years ago but it still toasted bread. All the regular ones looked like a kids toy so cheap. I have the instapot air fryer. Just one knob but push digital buttons for time, temp, type of cooking. I’m sure if I used it more i’d fall in love. I’ve seen lots of people cooking ribeyes in them. I just can’t. I like my steak grilled or on the blackstone. My hubby has become a master griller. He finds deals on Facebook and Walmart. He’s got pellet grill & holland grill (don’t make those anymore) in addition to the blackstone. Sometimes he’s got something going on both grills.
Everything’s better on the grill hands down. We have a grill, but we don’t use it as much as we should. It’s just me and my mom though, so there’s that.
We still have a toaster oven, and use it for toast 🤣😂
But I’m new to the whole air fryer situation. We almost got the Insta pot air fryer lid, but decided to get the whole unit. Let me know how that would works out for you.
I want to use my air fryer for heating up things like reheating, french fries, or cooking, fresh, french fries, egg, rolls, making bacon and stuff like that. I think you can do a lot more than what I want it for. I want things cooked well, but I want them crispy. The microwave doesn’t do crispy. 🤨
It does amazing heating up fries and lots of other foods. I don’t have the instapot air fryer lid. I have (see link) got on Black Friday I think last year.

You got the whole deal! Got it!
I understand you’re standing in for somebody right now.
Someone had to fill the void. 😂🤣
Carry on 🫡
You are on a roll🤣 getting me the other day & still hitting it. Love it, you are having fun.
