I am sorry that I am bringing up this topic because I am sure everybody else is sick of it. But I am considering buying an air fryer and would like a recommendation. I can use a good accessible app, but my husband is low vision and does not want to have to use an app. It is important to him to be able to cook pieces of chicken, not just thin pieces like wings. We want to be able to put enough food in it for both of us and not have to do a whole bunch of batches for dinner. Is this a tall order?

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave
That's how I did bacon when I first started cooking it years ago. I found it just took way too long that way and I was hungry.

Make sure there are no sighted people watching. This is very important! 2. Cut or pull the pieces in half, almost directly in half. 3. Lay them in the frying pan touching but not overlapping as much as possible. Fill the pan as full as you can, with the pieces as close together as possible without them overlapping. This won't be perfect. 4. Fry one side on medium high heat. When done, it will feel like it is firm when you touch it with the spatula or your fingers and won't feel as squiggly wiggly. The sizzles will get quieter, more infrequent, and less dramatic. It will also smell like cooked bacon. Then turn the heat off. 5. Wait till it has cooled a bit, then carefully slide the spatula underneath, being sure to have the spatula touch all the pieces. Now raise the whole thing up, making sure you have the whole thing by using your other hand. flip it, using your other hand as a guide to be sure that the whole thing is flipping over and that it lands back in the pan. 6. Turn the heat back on to medium high and finish cooking it. The second side won't take nearly as long as the first one. 7. Put on a plate covered with paper towels. Be sure that the paper towels don't come anywhere near the burner. 7. Blot with more paper towels on the top. Now it is ok for the sightlings to come back in the kitchen. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] Information I got about the most accessible air fryer.
There is another thing to consider, though it has nothing to do with accessibility. Some of the combination toaster oven, convection oven, and air fryer units have very limited space for air frying, even though they can roast or bake something quite large. The Cuisinart is like this. You can only air fry things that are thin, like chicken wings or fries, but you can't air fry pieces of chicken with the bone in because you can only use the top rack for air frying, and these foods would hit the top of the oven. So even though this thing has a high capacity for baking and using the convection feature, the air frying space is quite limited. Which is sort of too bad, because this and similar units use knobs. Not those inaccessible dials, but actual old school knobs. Label friendly, old fashioned knobs! -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Johna Gravitt via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2020 6:55 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Johna Gravitt Subject: Re: [CnD] Information I got about the most accessible air fryer.

SMOOTHIE RECIPE WITH APPLE A sweet, tart, cinnamon-y, and refreshing treat perfect for a lazy autumn afternoon! Prep Time 10 mins Total Time 10 mins Servings 2 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup no sugar added or sugar free, fat free vanilla Greek yogurt 3/4 cup apple cider I use Mother’s brand and organic 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 apple (peeled and chunked, I used a Granny Smith) 1 1/2 cups crushed ice 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup I don’t use syrup. I use 1 packet of estivia in the raw. Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree. Top with cinnamon and a few diced apple pieces. NOTES For best results, make sure to peel and core the apple thoroughly. You will get the best smoothie texture if you blend until completely smooth and creamy. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few leftover diced apple pieces (use a little lemon juice to keep them from getting brown). I like to leave the skin on that section of apple to get a nice pop of color in the smoothie! If your smoothie isn’t thick enough after blending, add some additional yogurt and ice and blend again. Sorry no nutrition facts. I just made this up with a friend. We enjoy it as a snack from time to time.

Re: [CnD] Air Fryer Recommendations?
I purchased an Emeril Lagasse air fryer pro 360+ which is all buttons and I have not received it yet but I do know I can label it with bump dots and be able to use it as long as I have a cheat sheet of the buttons. Do not get the as seen on tv model though, make sure it's the plus. The other one has dials and buttons but the dials are not accessible at all because they rely on a digital read out on the unit and it changes which each dial rotation and there's no stop or start point on the dial so you never know where you are.

Most of the multi-purpose air fryers do not have accessible dials but some can be programmed to work with Amazon or Google assistants.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave
I cook bacon in my oven at 400 degrees for about 10 mintes or so. Turning it if I need to sugar "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." -Philippians 4:11 I appreciate your friendship/support at: https://www.gofundme.com/sugars-transplant-journey -Sugar -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, July 6, 2020 9:52 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: pamelafairch...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave I cook bacon in the microwave all the time. Each microwave oven is different though and it takes some experimentation to figure out exactly how much time to cook it in yours. You have two problems, how long your oven takes and how thinly or thickly sliced your bacon is. A third factor is your own individual taste for bacon. Some like it so crisp it is starting to burn just a little. Others like it still limp but just cooked through. Most people like it somewhere between the two states. Try a couple pieces for 2 minutes. Was it done enough? Was it burnt? Did it need more cooking? Act accordingly to find out what changes to make. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] Another air dry cookbook
Hello, I'm new to the list. I'm a blind cook and have been cooking independently for 43 years but had some lessons before that. I enjoy making yeast breads as a way to control stress. Even though I grew up on the old 1950s and 1960s meat and potatoes fare, I have now started sprouting. I know that I need to eat more vegetables, and growing them in my kitchen makes them much more interesting. My biggest cooking problem areas are measuring small amounts of liquid, getting things properly turned over in a frying pan, and knowing when meat is done. I know these are typical blind cook problems. Glad to be on this list. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Jeanne Fike via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2020 9:51 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jeanne Fike Subject: [CnD] Another air dry cookbook Morning, I receive a magazine called Our Special.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave
Pamela, Do you use full power for bacon? My microwave is 1200 watts. Often, I find it does better on, say, 60%. The precooked bacon does ok at full power, because it is such a short time. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2020 12:52 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: pamelafairch...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave I cook bacon in the microwave all the time. Each microwave oven is different though and it takes some experimentation to figure out exactly how much time to cook it in yours. You have two problems, how long your oven takes and how thinly or thickly sliced your bacon is. A third factor is your own individual taste for bacon. Some like it so crisp it is starting to burn just a little. Others like it still limp but just cooked through. Most people like it somewhere between the two states. Try a couple pieces for 2 minutes. Was it done enough? Was it burnt? Did it need more cooking? Act accordingly to find out what changes to make. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave
I used to cook mine in the microwave but now I use a roasting pan with a rack and cook in the oven. I set my temperature to 375 for thick sliced bacon and cook it for about 25 minutes. It comes out crisp but not burnt.
