Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

[Kola-CT]

Ok. I've bought some pork belly. What do I do now?

Score the skin (lightly, not cut all the way through).
Put it on a layer of course salt in the fridge overnight.
Next day, rinse the salt off and let it dry or pat it dry with paper towel.
Lightly oil the skin side with olive oil and spice the meat side with whatever you want.
Pour your favourite drink and start a fire.
Put it on a staanrib stand next to the fire, skin side towards the fire until the skin starts bubbling, turning into crackling.
Pour another drink and add wood to the fire.
When the crackling is to your liking take it off and use a sharp knife to remove the crackling layer, leaving a thin layer of fat on the meat - put the crackling aside to rest.
Spice the fat side now with whatever you want.
Put back on the stand, now turning occasionally while keeping an eye on how it has cooked.
Pour another drink and add wood to the fire.
Careful to not become impatient moving it too close to the fire, it needs to cook slowly.
If done right it should take about 3 hours during which time you can make your side dishes.
Eat and enjoy.

Technically it is also air frying, just a much better way to do this.

Didn't know that. Will do so this weekend.

I do that and then do the fatty side until that turns nice and crispy, serve the crackling as a side if there is still any left by that time.

I use a narrow blade fillet knife to cut it off so I can cut close to the skin/crackling and not have a lot of fat on it.

Thanks, will go have a look.

If it is not a Philips then dont bother.

I was going to say, this sounds like a good method if you're looking for an excuse to eat all the crackling before the dish is served.

I just left team Philips and joined team Air Braaier.

He first needs to cut it up so it fits in his dual basket Kenwood.

So pork belly has now turned into pork rashers?

In order to cook food perfectly, You need the starfish design. Which only Philips makes because it is patented.

Only thing a starfish is good for is to let poop out.

Oh here we go. Why are you talking about poop in a Food/kitchen thread? Do you lack basic manners or what?

I do lack empathy for stupid people - of which there's plenty in this thread.

Yet you are here 24/7 even though you dont own a Philips airfryer. SO who is the stupid one?

I agree there's many people with non Philips airfryers here.

Even Air braaiers.

You can also get krones disease from cows if they are infected, but in modern farming the chances of both are slim.

As someone with Crohn’s disease I can tell you matter of factly you don’t just get it from something.

This is one of those folklore tales the media ran with back in the day about John’s disease in cows causing Crohn’s disease in humans and everyone ran with it while there is very little factual support for any of it and you’ll struggle to even find the original sources in the here and now.

If there is any genuine correlation to he had it’s more likely a case of people already being predisposed to getting/having Crohn’s being triggered by the bacteria’s that cause John’s disease.

Either way this is ancient stuff from the late 90’s that never went anywhere.

What there is however is a trend in prevalence of Crohn’s Disease in the modern world due to an increase in lactose intake. Even this a bit of hocus pocus though and may relate more to better modern diagnoses than an actual cause.

Could be, like the autism link and vaccines, better tests pick these things up now quicker and easier than before, so it seems there is a marked increase, but it's actually just better testing.
Is there anything they can do for you?

Basically know your diet and what you can and can’t eat. It’s a bit of a journey as it’s different for everyone and often the mind is weak and you just roll the dice eating the thing you know is going to **** you up later.

Outside of that I’m on chronic immune suppressants to keep the body from attacking itself which mostly does the job on a day to day “baseline” level.

Bigger issue is that there is some potential correlation to having either other immune disorders or auto immune diseases and I’m yet to find out if I do have one of those or if my other random issues are simply the same in origin.

I know I don’t have Lupus at least after getting the exact symptoms at one point.

I have extremely sensitive skin, especially on my feet where I’ll just walk a kilometre and have legions on the top where shoes rubbed up against my feet.

Lots of joint pain that comes and goes with activity.

All in all it’s never quite fun but most days you just learn to live with it through pain threshold levelling up I guess.

On really **** days or sucks, but the WFH revolution has made that a lot more accommodating than before.
