Pro Tip

Picked up breakfast for the family this morning and by the time I got home the potatoes were somewhat cold. Four minutes in the air fryer at 400°F and they were crispy like they were fresh made! Caution!! They get HOT inside!!

That defeats the point of it being fast food 😭

[u/xx_I_Am_Me_xx → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Yeah. I know. If I were eating at the restaurant I’d be enjoying the speed and hot and fresh. But since it’s the convenience of not saving to cook once in a while, having hot and convenient works for me! 😁

I love ordering takeout so I can go home and cook it and have an appliance to clean.

Do you clean your air fryer after every use?

We use liners. Easy peasy

Sadly only McDonald’s knows how to properly close a FF bag to hold in the heat. And it happens so rarely there now I figure the operator gave me my to go order on Sunday.

Pull the straw out, close and fold the top of the bag, maybe two inches. Then fold that one more time. The McD bag might even have a line (I recall they did waay back when I worked there).

Putting that bag inside another bag can help. FWIW I don’t find CFA or burgers are good food to go, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Pizza Tip - If you are bringing home pizza, have the oven heated to about 250F and drop the pizza in the oven for the few minutes you get settled in at home.

Don’t forget to turn off the oven.

Man I remember working at McDonald’s 20 years ago and folding the bag was a must. Like it was part of training and part of how the store was graded during anonymous visits (they called them shops). Now you’re lucky if the bag’s closed. I’ve heard rumors that it’s to help keep the food from getting soggy now, but I don’t know how true that is.

I do the same with fries. I use a piece of foil on the bottom, so I don't have to clean the airfryer.
