Since we’re talking food recipes HiggyCigs sent us some of their new Steak Rub to try on Venison since no one had tried that yet and holy wow it was delicious! If you’re a meat eater who wants to support one of my favorite vaping companies give it a try https://www.higgycigs.com/hccart/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=631 they also make incredible coffee!

That looks like too much work… why not just make the filled pasta and douse them in sauce? But it looks prettier.

Ok… I wanted to make some cornbread, but then I started adding stuff to the mix and ended up with a kind of Cheesy Mexican Cornbread. It’s just a tad spicy!
What do ya’ll think would go really good with it? Maybe some pinto beans and a nice cold cucumber salad?

@Rocky02852 Looks great and I bet it tastes fantastic.
This isn’t much of a recipe, but I did a standing Rib Roast in my Ninja Foodi last night.
Rubbed with Avocado Oil with lots of spices (garlic, onion, Steakhouse seasoning, Cowboy seasoning)
Pre-heat the Foodi on Tendercrisp (air fry) at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
Put the 5 pound roast on the rack and into the Foodi for 20 minutes at 400 till nicely brown and crisp.
Change the mode to Bake/Roast and drop temp to 250 degrees until internal temp of 120.
Take out, let stand for 15 minutes.
Slice and ENJOY. It turned out wonderfully. Don’t forget to add Horsedish !!

Nice @Cary1, I guess the Ninja Foodi is an Air Fryer ?
I must be the last person on earth without an air fryer, but I want one

@Rocky02852 The Foodi is a mutli-function cooker. It has modes for pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, roast/bake, broil and air crisping (air fryer)…oh and food dehydrator. I probably cook about half of my meals in it. I’ve been using the Ninja Foodi for a couple of years.

Thanks for the run down on the Foodi @Cary1, I’m liking the sound of that. May have to get one for myself this Xmas (if I gift a kitchen gadget or appliance to my wife for Xmas I’d get clobbered)

I have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer. It has 11 different functions and all of them are awesome! It’s just like the Ninja Foodi, I think. Sounds like it has many of the same functions but i thought I’d give you an alternative so you can do a price comparison.
Brand new, depending on size, the 6 qt Instant Pot (w/o airfryer lid; that can be purchased separately) runs from around $70 to $150+ for 8 qt with all the attachments, inserts, bits and bobs, etc. I paid about $60 after shipping for the 8 qt with all the attachments, bits and bobs, and inserts.
From Air Frying (as the name implies 
) to Sous Vide. Slow Cooker, Saute, Pressure Cooker, Broil, Roast, and so much more! Even dehydrating! I LOVE my Instant Pot!! I use it at least once a week. Sometimes as much as three times a week! Best investment in a kitchen appliance I’ve ever made!
Here’s a GREAT cookbook for it for some ideas, if you need it. It’s specifically for the Duo Crisp + Air Fryer so there are recipes for all 11 functions!
I bought mine slightly damaged from the online Goodwill store. When it arrived I was appalled and dismayed at the size of the thing! I didn’t realize an 8 quart cooker would be so BIG!
Gallon size jug of distilled water for size reference
It turned out to be just right! For the three of us, with me on a diet (sort of), it cooks just the right amount of things under the airfryer for one serving each, in one cycle.
The saute, slow cook, and broil settings with this size is perfect to make a large pot of soup, a medium size roast, or some stir fry and have enough left over for lunches or snacks for a few days. And it all tastes wonderful!
BONUS It’s all better for you under the airfryer instead of deep fried, too! Just a note: airfrying won’t give you a SUPER crunchy, crispy out side coating but it’s damned closed! Also, batter dipped stuff, unless frozen, doesn’t airfry well. It’ll just blow all the coating away and make a mess inside the pot.
If you want wet, batter dipped things (like beer battered cod or fried mushroom), prep the food the night before, FREEZE IT OVERNIGHT, then airfry using the chart in the owner’s manual. Just add a few minutes to the recommended time, as it’s frozen (unless you’re making something already on the charts or you’re following a recipe😊)
Theres a few, more detailed, cook time tables here.
Tip: If you spray a little cooking oil on the top of whatever you’re airfrying, it will make it a little more crispy. Not a lot of oil, mind you, just a light spray.
Sorry so long. I just really like this thing lol. I’m trying to convince my Dad to get one, too.
