tinyfish Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 My local grocery store had prime rib on sale this week so guess whats for dinner. Started the steaks indirect with some sugar maple for smoke just getting ready to sear. Grill marks could have been a little better. The family just wanted to eat so they were pressuring me to hurry up. Cooked some fries in the air fryer...delicious and the plated shot.
MacKenzie Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 tinyfish, you have me wanting a steak dinner and fries now, delicious:)
Poochie Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 You did an excellent job on those babies. Sure looks like a delicious meal.
tinyfish Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 MacKenzie I would trade you for an enchilada.
MacKenzie Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 I know a trick offer when I see one, you've already eaten those steaks and fries. There ain't no flies on me. 2
bosco Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 That looks great. They were on sale down here as well. I worked all weekend so today I would like to do a cook
tony b Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 No one who knows you would ever accuse you of that, MacKenzie! You got it goin' on, gurl!
ckreef Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 Nice looking steak and fries. I think an air fryer might be on the short list for Xmas.
Cookie Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 CK - if you've done the research on 'best air fryer,' please let me know the model you think is best. I'm debating between an electric oil fryer or air fryer. I don't really like stinking up the house, which I think any oil fryer would do, be it electric or dutch oven. I have two gassers with side burners but the flame control is not good enough to maintain a steady temp for outdoor frying on those either. Looking for a frying solution.

In my research the Philips Air Fryer was one of the top rated ones, the T-Fal is very good also and it was a larger capacity for less price.
MacKenzie Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 What about using an induction burner and a pot? Wouldn't the burner have enough power to provide a quick recovery when cold items are added? Has anyone tried this method? It could be used outside as well.
ckreef Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Yup an induction burner is on the list for outdoor use. I've had an electric deep fryer before. They work good but the cleanup sucks. I will have a air fryer eventually. All this is sort of getting ahead of myself - second KK comes next - LOL
MacKenzie Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Yes, ck you must keep those priorities straight.
wilburpan Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Grill marks or not, those are some tasty looking steaks! Here’s a wacky idea. Set your KK grill for 350ºF indirect. Put a pot of oil inside. Use it as a deep fryer. The grill encloses all the oil splatter, which gets burned off at the next high heat cook.

Would this have the same end result as using lighter fluid as far a impregnating the interior pores of the grill? Robert
wilburpan Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Maybe, but then again, I would expect that any of the oils from the fat in brisket/ribs/pork butt/steak/chicken that spatter during the cooking process could impregnate the interior pores of the grill as well, and we don’t worry so much about that. I’ve always thought that the issue with lighter fluid, or whatever’s in self-lighting charcoal briquettes, imparting a nasty taste to future cooks wasn’t so much the lighter fluid impregnating the interior of the grill, but the fact that lighter fluid tastes nasty. If lighter fluid tasted like rendered pork fat, we’d be using it by the pint. 1
bosco Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 I like the phillips but have been leaning heavily towards the Tfal actifry. I think I like that I can buy it at costco and return if with any issues. I have read issues of both breaking down quickly, the Tfal has moving parts... It is my Christmas list number 2 bosco's Christmas list: 1. CyberQ wifi 2. Tfal fryer 3. 16" TT kk 1 and 3 are highly doubtful... but Santa wants to hear everything always!!
tinyfish Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Posted October 18, 2015 Your right Bosco if you don't ask you can't receive.
