now we’re all lubed up now both of us do lubed up to do anything [Music] every Chef knows there are unbreakable rules in the kitchen but what happens when you actually break those rules do the air Gods rain fiery vengeance upon you and your family or are they arbitrary myths peddled from Chef to Chef just waiting to be busted to find out this highly trained team of serious culinary professionals is putting them to the test because this is [Music] foreign [Music] ERS today we’re taking on air fryer mitts because they are very confusing they are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma literally nobody knows how they work just like magnets but before then first you check out my training regimen to wrestle Gordon Ramsay here’s the thing I’ve issued the challenge to Gordon Ramsay to wrestle me in any parking lot in Burbank of his choosing one day is going to do it so first we need to scout good parking lots to meet him after schooling I’m looking at the Ikea in Burbank just saying it’s very big second come up with good nicknames for him I’m thinking stinker jokester stupid sauce finally friend I gotta learn British and then after I learn British I gotta learn how to hate because it does not come naturally to me I’m a lover not a fighter babe if you know what I mean uh and then we gotta call people idiot sandwiches I’m gonna practice tackling things that look like him including a trash can and that signature pink pale British wild wacky armed and flailing inflatable Tube Man any questions about that zero not even very clear very clear yeah uh air fryer Miss though a lot of people they cook a lot of stuff in air fryers people love them Nicole and I talked about them on our podcast a hot ugly sandwich check it out YouTube videos are out now uh but we’re gonna put it to the test to see if it actually does make food better first off they say that food gets crispier in an air fryer because it circulates the air super super hot so we’re gonna try air fried fries versus oven baked fries versus deep fried fries but then of course if we’re deep frying that uses a lot of oil so they says that air fryers use less oil for your food we’re gonna see exactly how much less oil they use versus conventional deep frying they say air fryers cook your food more evenly that whole plague of unevenly cooked salmon in it oh it’s ridiculous God the pandemic knows no bounds of unevenly cooked salmon so we’re gonna go ahead and put that to the test in the airfryer and then finally they say it reheats frozen food better which I’m interested in as a Totino’s Pizza Rolls stand myself myth munchers do you think we have what it takes to put air fryers through the ringer 100 let’s do it all right everybody write down your answers and the cards and the loser has to deep fry their hand no do it do it no uh the loser has to I don’t know eat a frozen fish stick or something yep okay amenable that’s called compromise folks and I think the secret to any relationship really is if you’re starting Trevor I’ve never used an air fryer neither have I but I bet we can figure out yeah you know why because I’m Josh and I’m Trevor and we’re Wicked smart I’m telling you Mac Jones he’s not the best athlete but he’s a good decision my Belichick never gave him a wide receiver you never give one hey you want to go get a donkeys later I’ll get something you want to go get it done I guess those donkeys yeah the munchkins you know what they say America runs on Duncan that’s so true so uh we’re testing out the air fryer on french fries and we’re doing kind of a lazy man’s fry method so that’s what a lot of people use the air prior for they drop the fries in the air fryer they say it makes them crispy I ain’t never done that so we’re gonna test them just against a simple single fry in a deep fryer obviously gonna use more oil and then we’re gonna test them with an oven okay I don’t know man how does this work I think it’s like it’s magic there’s a small wizard in here he’s got a little fire breathing dragon I know that we don’t do our guesses until later but I literally didn’t put airfryer down first yeah I might have put airfryer down for all of them I’m just drop a bunch of fries in that deep fryer sorry dude yeah no thanks for warning me definitely definitely so we’re doing that and then good we’re gonna go one tablespoon of oil and then two tablespoons of oil for these we’re gonna dust them up in some Tony sasharies Trev you want to give that a good toss so we’re gonna split this equally between just a straight up oven and the air fryer and what do you do is it like hot in there sure hundo no no no no no no no no no no no no we do what do I do you do it you do it you do it I’ll man the deep fryer I know how to do this this is Ultimate all you kids wait I don’t know how to use it online dating apps you used to have to go to a Target and if you reach for the same can of soup as a pretty lady and that’s how you met and that was it um yeah let’s scatter it Alex ow sorry whatever it’s hot the Great’s hot it’s been in that it’s been in the fryer no it was my fault it was my fault I heard it Sizzle against my skin oh you want to know a funny story about my childhood go ahead okay so there is this player for the right you know uh Kevin Youkilis Devin Euclid yeah when I was a kid one time my dad took me to a Red Sox game and then when you came out everybody like in the in the stadium was like you Luke and they were saying uke but I thought they were booing him and it made me so sad like I was like a little kid I was like why are they booing this guy I felt so bad but then you know come to find out later they were saying his name they were cheering him I was completely wrong I’m gonna go ahead and pop these in the oven at 450 degrees they’re gonna let him go for about 30 minutes see where we’re at Fry’s had done hey Trevor yeah hey Josh looks like Valentine’s Day has happened you know what that means yeah you should have probably gotten something for your sweetheart not like that you turdy dog you can’t find that at worst book.com but what you can find is the best rankings but chocolates chocolates chocolate no crap no crap can you got the best ranking slip chocolate to dip strawberries in no crap man oh crap driver we got we got the fries the air fried fries they look terrible yeah the oven baked fries well I’d say worse than the air fried rice yeah yeah yeah yeah deep fried ones these look like french fries this is great let’s go with the normal deep fried fries again these are a single Fry on them so it’s not gonna be like the best french fry I ever had but I’m dipping right in some catches yeah all right perfectly fine fun fact only statue livens it up these look significantly smaller because you’re losing so much moisture yeah in the oven but that could intensify the potato flavor we got some droop here very flaccid it’s pronounced flaccid not flaccid actually really yeah okay I’m gonna dip those that sucks it’s like it’s like potato leather dude the potato literally vanished I mean maybe the magician is in the oven and you took the potato out of the fry unionized and went to the oven holy smokes the whoa wow bad boys what are you gonna do these are the most flaxseed of them all and again you see them like it’s not like we undercooked them because they’re starting to Brown yeah and turn and these are all the same potatoes oh hmm what’s going on I’m Batman okay so both of these are like making me really sad yeah I don’t like that at all the deep fried fries which is to say fries yes um these are like significantly better I think we have to put that as the winner yeah even if you do not have a deep fryer at home even if you’re not comfortable deep frying like this does not get you anywhere close to that buy some frozen fries from scratch air fries I still think are slightly slightly crispier than oven baked so if you do have an air fryer and you really want to just make long thin roasted potatoes do it in an air fryer of course you could use frozen fries but a lot of people make them from fresh so deep fried wins air fryer like oh slightly edges oven baked but both are really sad hey unlike the Boston Red Sox deep fried of the Champions Bud let’s go don’t forget 2004 though yeah don’t forget 2000 I’ll never forget two thousand I divorced my wife because of that yeah I blacked out on Mark Street I can’t name a Street in Boston I just realized yeah deep fried wine deep fried I always knew deep fried was gonna win that’s right there baby that’s on Boston wait a minute this isn’t a donkeys it’s a deep fry your fries deep fry them who is that is that Josh’s baby food award that he won no way throwback mythicon 2022. all right so we are gonna be busting more air fryer mitzvi chicken wings we can see we can see that deep fried one the french fries but sure it is it’s gonna win the chicken wing so the myth we’re trying to bust here is that it’s hearsay they say that an air fryer uses less oil and gets the same results as deep frying which I think is absolute BS but I also think it might not matter like I don’t know like something in my Souls like they’re both gonna be crispy right the convection is just gonna make it go and it’s gonna be delicious but the deep fried is just so tried and true to my heart you know what I mean but I’m really excited to see what happens with the air fryer so I’m just gonna dust these ever so lightly with some Tony C’s I’m gonna oil the how much oil that’s about two tablespoons of oil I’d say and then more tony C’s and then give them a nice toss can I have a glove are you on it yeah yeah [Laughter] we’re just tossing these getting them little massage before we throw them into the oil so in here we have two cups of oil we actually measured the oil and it’s 402 grams in there and it’s about two cups of oil and then we’re going to measure it to see how much is left because we want to see like actually does it use less oil like let’s find out because I have no idea have you ever used one of these before an air fryer yeah you don’t have one at home just like handy dandy you’re not in the future in a cold come on no I’m kind of old school like I remember whenever we first thought like you got it here you go I remember I’m smart too [Laughter] small we should be absolutely intelligent absolutely intelligent Nicole is that good you sound a little bit like Cartman oh oh caught me a little bit like what does karma sound like screw you guys I’m getting hit so we’re just gonna let these bad boys fry yeah see what happens I’m really looking for a future and then we’re gonna dunk them in some buffalo sauce all right our chicken wings have magically appeared and look at them they look fried to heck oh they’re little lollipop I know look at that they look kind of similar very similar yeah I will say this one looks a little bit dinky I do think they shrunk a little bit definitely because I heard them popping in there yeah it was kind of just closing in yeah but it might make it you know I might have rendered really nicely so it might taste better but the oil that we use is probably the most dramatic thing but that’s it is that soup no compared to water so it looks like we only use approximately 11 grams which is two tablespoons of oil and then here we use 402 and then we lost 22 grams so 11 times 2 is 22. so the chicken over here absorbed four tablespoons of oil and this one absorbed uh two tablespoons of oil so it did absorb more oil but we won’t know until we taste it if they’re the same or not guys I just did math and this is wow that was Max did you see I didn’t see you done math like that did you never see me close my eyes and go into the depths of my brain it was real she had to turn the lights off real quick so she closed her I did I did all right let’s try it let’s have a nice memory moment oh I’m hot it’s hot and it’s good it’s really good it’s nice juicy it doesn’t seem like I shriveled up no which is nice your yield you get more chicken should we move on yeah look at my fingers okay I’m gonna do another one I wasn’t judging you hello the texture on the inside was like the first yeah it’s way too tougher but it still tastes like a good like would you be disappointed if you like went out to dinner with your friends and you’re like let’s get wings for the table Yeah and then you bit into this yeah I would be too yeah I’d be pissed oh man Nicole no my time machine didn’t work I know it’s kind of disappointing I really I was really hoping it didn’t matter but shoot right yet again deep fried are you okay yeah no buffalo sauce got down the wrong pipe I’m really good at the Heimlich maneuver I don’t trust you I’m like I’m like that’s how you do it um um V yeah deep fried one dang it sucks I know how should we tell them I got some ideas hey do you like my hat I have to kill a hat but it makes you look Wicked smart on a very serious note I’d like to apologize to the people of Boston what we’ve been exhibiting are our stereotypes not all people from Boston only drink donkeys and Sam Adams Oktoberfest because they also drink Sam Adams Boston Logic the official beer in the stocks I Love It Whatever Desi party now they say air fryers what they do is they cook food more evenly especially compared to whatever we’re gonna test with pan searing too we have three salmon fillets that are of equal thickness roughly when we cook one in the air fryer oven bake one cook one in the pan and we are going to test the thickness making sure it’s at exactly 130 degrees and then test the other sections of the salmon to make sure they’re all at the same temperature Yeah so basically if this one’s at 130 then we got like 115 140. okay that’s a problem if the air fryer has a more even ratio this all has to do with z-score regression analysis shout out AP stats I don’t know what that means uh okay cool so uh if you want to season it up with some Donny sasheries am I oiling this just right just right on there just lubricant technically you need oil but we’re going to control for all of it so we might as well just like Lube all this loop the loop the bottom side too the bottom needs a little too I’m gonna give it a little massage massage that you should give it a little I’m gonna go oil right in this here pan oh you’re crazy I am I am I am wicked I’m wicked crazy uh you can see me on St Patty’s Day I am sitting at home going oh my God it’s St Patrick’s Day I totally forgot it all right so we’re gonna drop that in the oven how do you work I don’t know how to work it I haven’t I haven’t okay so what you’re going to want to do is you’re going to want to get your wrists in there like yeah do you want to lend a well-timed finger yeah yeah okay so if I just come in here yeah and then press press and now we’re all lubed up now both of us do looped up to do anything uh put a lot of oil on that salmon for being honest yeah Sam’s already hand all the way up and then I still have one other hand I think I should just do this just to get it over with and now none of us can do anything the Salmons are out yeah yes and all of them we pulled them with the thickest part being at 130 for all of them but we’re really just going to calculate the temperature difference from one end to the other to the middle okay so if we can tell anything I mean pan seared it looks uneven because you’re only getting whatever is hitting the actual part of the pan right so you see that’s all undersered here fried in oven air fried looks a little crispy wispy over there but let’s go in the center see right in there it’s a 125 it’s cooled down a little bit and then we’re gonna go to one end 164. that’s a 40 that is a 40 dollar difference holy smokes 180 okay a 181 all the way at that end okay keep this down we got we got like 161. whatever we said 164. it was like 125 182 and eight oh my God it’s all up in the Noggin I’m wicked smart drop it in here oven baked rocking one 139. we’re gonna go over here okay okay 162. and we’re gonna go to the end right here this isn’t like the most scientific but I think it’s doing something 167. so immediately the oven baked cooked more evenly than the air fried wow we’re seeing okay smaller standard deviations away from the mean I remember that I remember that that’s statistics okay I took that class I didn’t pay attention though paint seared I’m really sorry we’re at 137 at one end okay 182 in the pan all the way at the thingy 169 nice so oh because it’s the funny number yeah that’s good what we’ve learned um does air frying cook things more evenly not necessarily I think the thing that it does is it just cooks faster yeah right which is going to allow for more deviation from one end to the other I know this isn’t the most scientific of one thing’s thinner than another you’re gonna see a higher you know uh differentiation however this wasn’t like you know completely no blowing all the other ones away in terms of evenness like you’re getting the same evenness on the cook even if we just slice in you’re probably gonna see it’s a nice little medium salmon right there it’s weird that the air fryer was actually closer to the pan seared do you think that that could have to do with the circulation of air I think it does well I think to me it’s just the rapidity of heat that’s actually hitting the food source right oven is going to go slower than air fried because if you think about like the idea of a wind chill right it could be 20 degrees in Boston but the wind makes it feel like it’s zero degrees air fryer could be listed at 400 degrees with a rapid movement of air is going to be as if you’re cooking salmon at six seven hundred anyways how do we tell them that uh oh what do we say one oven big one in terms of evenness all right um so I’ve been baked I’ve mixed more evenly how do you think we should tell them dude can we just get somebody else to tell them I am so tired of freaking coming up with these convoluted ways to tell our friends information that they already know because they’re literally sitting right there Ramsay and me sitting squatting on the floor going Josh just a donut I don’t get it someone else tell them I’m done I’m done no they’re eight feet away um what we do do you have a blimp guy like a guy who can fly a blimp because I have another idea what driver said is okay but I’m thinking like a blimp myth munchers air fire must take nine so the guy sent me over to tell you that oven baked was the best to cook salmon no this is what I’m saying we’re the guys like we’re the guys and they already knew that why did we have to bring someone out do we not respect our audience okay do you think they’re all dumb we’ve been doing all this cooking from scratch in the air fryer that’s so stupid we’re idiots dude air fryers as everybody knows is best for reheating frozen food so what we have done today is we air fried some onion rings and fish sticks some pizza rolls and then we microwaved some onion rings some fish sticks and some pizza rolls and then I know what you’re asking what else did you do we oven baked in that oven right there none other onion rings that looks so much better than all the others yeah uh fish sticks fish sticks we have to eat one of these from every plate I’m gonna throw up but it was a heavy bench day I’m just gonna project I’ll vomit ew microwave [Music] hot microwave pizza rolls the best thing ever pizza roll I think is where this is at you guys because it soaks up the ranch I’m going to air fry this looks like a meat a meast for Kings um who do you mean it Feast huh don’t correct that is way too crunchy for a pizza roll what what do you mean it is so Pizza will got to be soggy they gotta be soft and they gotta explode like a gusher that’s terrible I think this can stay on your ear right [Music] oh I feel fine all right [Music] the air fried fish sticks get out of my range if you want a ranch you should have gotten your own ranch the air fried fish sticks I mean this did something this did something significantly better than the other whoa oh my God oh my goodness oh my goodness taking me I have a clear answer the pizza roll exclusionary clause needs to come into effect we said that once in the history of this channel we get invoke the pizza roll exclusion and I choose to invoke it I invoke and so if we throw out pizza rolls like the clear winner is air fried yeah yeah pizza rolls ice cream and Trevor that I I wouldn’t even microwave them I’d steam them in a dumpling basket and just let them SOG horrible air fryers are definitely valid and they definitely have their place I do think we did bust some of those myths today yeah right in terms of cooking evenly and all this stuff um but that said it’s it’s a really valuable piece of equipment it takes up a lot of counter space but if you ain’t got like a blender and a sous-vide machine then why not how are we gonna tell them Josh yes I swear to God Nicole I swear to God there’s who them who them are the cameras they I don’t know how they work but they’re there just toss the Boomerang on your ear anyways all right well let’s see what we all guessed all right hey welcome mid munchers we just had a bunch of air frying myths we found out that when it comes to Fry’s oven baked and air fried or like basically the same in that deep frying I know it’s more oil I know it’s more thyme but really that is the only way to go the other ones are poor substitutes too close to each other myth number two we found out that when it comes to air fried wings versus deep fried wings they say you use less oil and you really do use about half the amount of oil when you air Fry versus deep fry however again the air fryer ones are just a poor substitute that extra two tablespoons of oil is absolutely worth it when it comes to deep fried eat a salad if you’re trying to be healthy you know what I mean then we test it out evenness of cook airfry versus oven bake versus pan seared when it comes to Salmon we found out that that slow moving heat of an oven really lends to a more even cook oven baked was the winner there finally Frozen Foods the pizza roll exclusionary clause was invoked we found out that air frying does make the best fish decks as well as onion rings so let’s see what we guessed Nicole deep fried doesn’t matter oven baked and air fried I got three out of four correct pretty freaking good man I’m shaking my little booties V what’d you do deep fried air fryer pan seared air fryer it’s really a time machine I got a toll to it Trevor yeah it’s team money I went deep fried deep fried pans here to microwave because I think air fryers are a freaking sham okay don’t talk to me about no freaking airfryer I got two but give me give me one second give me one second I put microwave for the fourth one and I was going solely based off of pizza rolls because I don’t eat frozen fish or onion rings and so I was going fairly on pizza rolls because I know my grade is the best so in my heart I got three but I got two so we did we did in the pizza rolls in the pizza roll exclusionary closet we listed a one-time use of a pizza roll exclusionary clause reversal and Trevor did invoke that so I do award him that point thank you this is not this is not in chirocrisy this is a cheer Tater [ __ ] okay Gore Lieberman chill Josh what’d you get thanks so much for asking Josh I put air fried for just all of them name the four greatest rappers of all time air fried air fried air fried and air fried because it spits Hot Fire I don’t know I’ve got one which makes me the loser and I have to deep fry my own hand that’s okay this is a fitting punishment fit for the crowd I know you eat a punishment fit for the crime Josh no you no surprise me most beat the crime Josh you have Hammurabi’s code because I’m Josh [Applause]
