Your detail recipes and videos are great. Unfortunately, I need more help . When I look at a meal plan, I only see things being prepared serially. I wish you could include the way the meal can be completed together. If not, then in what sequence?? How do we keep completed recipe warm while preparing the remaining courses?
Next question:
I would like to stack my air frying food. Do you recommend something I can purchase for my ninja foodi op300WSeries?
Last: How light is light when AF? I understand you can cover a light food? Do you have a recommendation for a cover?
Hi Joe, ALL fantastic questions!!! Here are some ideas:
If you are looking to keep an item warm while cooking the next air fryer recipe, you can do that a few ways. Readers have told me that they use foil and cover or tent the foil over the cooked air fryer food. Other readers (including me) use the "keep warm" function on my toaster oven or big oven to keep it warm while cooking. I generally like to use the toaster oven since it doesn't take long to heat and doesn't use as much energy.
Sometimes if you have a food that cooks at a similar temperature, you can put them together in the air fryer basket. Then just adjust the cooking time slightly either up or down depending on what the recommended cooking times are. It takes some guessing, but you CAN make it work.
AS far as stacking, I haven't done much of that yet. I put the question into our air fryer facebook group to get some answers! If you aren't in that it is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AirFryerEatsRecipes/. But when people respond I will put their answers into this comment thread!
Light: So that varies, For example, I love cooking hamburgers in my air fryer. I always add a slice of cheese in the last minute. I've done it lots and lots of times. I've never had a problem of the cheese flying away except yesterday. A lot of people talk about cheese being light and flying away. So with that type of situation I'd probably put a toothpick in it to keep it there. Other people have had trouble with grilled cheese flying around, I haven't yet, but with that I would put a trivet on top, many times they come with your air fryer.

Update: Thanks again for your comment. I just did another meal plan (meat based) and include tips and tricks for combining foods in the air fryer! I appreciate your insight!
