Hope you didn’t put in too much oil and sugar. They’re both in there to encourage browning in a conventional oven. Decks tend to get much hotter. Had I realized, I’d have just cut the oil and/or the sugar.
I saw your post aboit cutting oil and sugar. I didn't put any sugar in and I maybe put a splash of oil in to help with stickiness.

Dough had a decent bit of snap back. How do you combat that?

As in Im not good at rolling out dough, or I did something wrong in the recipe?

If it’s fighting you hard, wait 20 minutes and come back as it didn’t rest long enough. Even if you have it most of the way stretched and you want more, just 5 minutes of waiting can do wonders.

Also, I cheat and use parchment, so I don’t need a ton of flour or cornmeal on the surface for it to not stick.

Fresh Market had wild sashimi tuna steaks on sale, so I bought a few. Gonna try my hand at poke for dinner. If it goes well, this will be in the normal rotation for sure.

My daughter informed me that it wasn’t as good as Hawaii, but that she still loved it, so this crazy simple recipe is a keeper. Can’t believe I waited this long to try.

Most of the packets are unopened because I just did a pretty hefty reorder from Modernist Pantry last month. (Sodium citrate is the green label pack on the left)

Got a new Lloyd's Detroit pizza pan. Anxious to make a pie in it. Looks like I want to use Wisconsin brick cheese. Can I get that at the Iggle?

Someone gave us a very small (sufficient for two-person use) air fryer for Christmas. Are these things just gimmicks or are they worthwhile? We don't have a ton of counter space and if this is just junk or redundant I don't really want to start using it.

If there’s ever a time where you want to bake something, but don’t want to heat up the entirety of your oven, use the air fryer. We use it quite a bit for things like fries or tots.

We make a variety of egg rolls with it (as well as french fries, tots, etc.) I also have a breakfast cake I make with overripe bananas and ground oatmeal with it.

I have seen Brick cheese at the Iggle before but not sure if it was Wisconsin brick cheese.

I use my toaster oven to make hashbrowns, chicken pattys, etc already.

We had a deep fryer for about a year. I remember it being fun for about a month then we stopped buying stuff for it. That was a pain to clean, though, which may have led to its eventual demise.

Let me reframe the question. I want something that will make stuff like chicken nuggets actually 'crispy' instead of like the are in the oven or microwave. Is this going to help with that or is it just a way of saving propane?

If you can buy it at a concession stand, it will taste good in an air fryer

Absolutely - I actually make baked tilapia for tacos that are very crispy, unlike baking them (same recipe) in the oven. Chicken nuggs would work great there too. Because there are four of us, we usually have to do batches - but that shouldn't be a problem for the two of you.

Nice, thanks. I saw it could do fish which had me interested as well, good to know it works.

Also I was at one point a very dedicated lover of the toaster oven. But if I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the air fryer 9 times out if 9 (just like ike Taylor).

Reheating pizza in the air fryer is also ideal
