    I love making batter fried green tomatoes & yellow squash. Nothing says summer in the South like those!

  • Fried Mushrooms and Zucchini Disks. I’m settled on a seasoned panko or breadcrumb breading and a simple marinara for dipping with the zucchini. Not set on the type of crust for the mushrooms (breadcrumb, beer batter, tempura, or, scaly flour), but the real question—one that I have never gotten close to an answer for—is what sauce to use as a dip for the fried mushrooms? Garlic mayo, rĂ©molade, horseradish sauce, marinara, sweet chili—a lot of things are good, but there is nothing I’ve found so far that is definitely the best.

  • I love fried wonton skins filled with chocolate ganache.

  • I used to deep fry chicken tenders (breadcrumbs-Parmesan crust) but I now air fry them. Best Chicken Tenders around.

  • I love making fried okras.

  • I’m vegan, but now and again ill fry up some seitan or tofu or other meat analogue and i haven’t had a lot of luck with air frying, but i will try this now that you posted this cool video đŸ™‚

    I received an order for Trisol which was supposed to make things crisp.
    -No instructions on the package.
    -It said to go to the website. ‘
    -Their recipe for Air Fried Chicken recommends EverCrisp and BatterBind S
    Where is the Trisol recipe?

    I ain’t spending 20 minutes searching their website when there’s no Search box.
    I’m done with this company. I’ll look elsewhere for what I want, not here.

    • Hi William, Trisol can be used interchangeably with Ever Crisp – so replace 20% of your flour and proceed with your recipe as usual.

  • Black garlic ketchup?! Is there a recipe for that or a source to buy?
