Ya got to love Julia and Dan together. Julia always appears sincerely impressed by what Dan can do. It's very sweet.
Did they not put any seasoning on those tenderloins at all? They didn’t show it if they did.
Edit: in the recipe recap she said season it well and it showed them salting them. But they didn’t show that as they were cooking it. I thought man that’s gonna be bland. Lol
ATK,Hello,DAN,I RECENTLY GOT SOME NICE PORK BELLY,BUT THEY WERE PRE CUT,I HAD SOME MANY YEARS AGO, BUT ILL TRY YOUR WAY AS A NICE WAY TO TRY IT ,SO I WILL THANKS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
ATK,Hello,Idid NOT expect to see my frier, here Originally it was from an ‘informinational’ but I got mine from QVC, for less, it has a rotisserie ,in it the unit has built in temp/time,for various items,but I use an immersion temp probe so I can really get internal temps, cleanup is a breeze , my late wife loved ANYTHING I COOKED IN IT , XL POWER FRYER. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh My 😋 Let's go Brandon 😂❤❤
Sunday lunch when I lived in the UK twice a month with pork belly it comes rolled and tied and is considered a joint of meat just like any other roast. It is cooked differently though than a regular roast.
My air fryer Cooks 5.8 lb.
I'm disabled and I love my air fryer! I can cook almost everything I want in it and it comes out deliciously. 🙂 I would never be without an air fryer again.
Reverse Maillard reaction.
The tenderloin steaks looked 👍 I like bacon, but I don't care for all of the fat.
What in the world do you pair this with to make a meal? Just starch and vegetables?
I love my simpler Philips airfryer with classic dial, I snatched mine for ca. USD 40 on sale. It's so simple to use. 🙂
I love Becky. Seriously impressive professional chef and a very natural presenter. Just says what she knows but makes it friendly and accessible… she knows the other two are the main ‘presenter’ chefs/cooks, and doesn’t try to make herself into a “personality” or something she’s not. But her training and attention to detail shines through and she banters with Bridget & Julia on camera in a way that makes us non-chef viewers feel like pros. She’s as terrific and as valuable as Lisa. The four of them make such a great team.
I'm looking forward to trying both of those pork recipes. And I'd like to see more recipes using the air fryer for stuff other than frozen french fries 😁
脆皮燒肉…..
This review is very disappointing ! It only features small air fryers that cannot dry a pizza or use to air dry fish fillets or large veggie "steaks" like eggplant etc. You need a rectangle shaped air fryer to do this not a little "dish/tray or bowl" used in these dome shaped air fryers. I desperately want to air dry fish cutlets, not one or two pieces at a time. Thank you.
Two great recipes. I love the air fryer review but it is a bit wasted as you do not have many recipes to back it up. Would love to see you take some of the favourites here and convert them to the air fryer technique!
Cynic. Sure. But just brilliant.
Lovely Becky with that beautiful smile. Always so friendly. Thank you for that recipe.
Dan, always handsome as usual, thank you for doing pork belly. I always wondered, “What’s the big deal, and why would anyone want to eat pork belly?” You, my friend, have answered all those questions. Man did that look good. I can hardly wait to try it. I hope mine looks as good as yours. I think I’ll be o’ding on pork belly.
Becky is the best one there. I think its funny like this is her first taste- yeah right!
Bridget and Julia's middle keeps growing, their breasts also. Maybe to much good food?
The production quality of this video is really good. Excellent editing. Great job!
I have been looking for decent pork belly recipe that I can make in a few hours. Well, today I searched your archives and found the answer. Thank you…
Fantastic Job. Hope you don't mind me Watching. Let's be friends O_O
Are both sides of the pork steaks seasoned? It sure seems like a lot of salt on the side, both sides would, I'd think, be too much.
Becky seems like she would make the best mum. She radiates mum energy
You can get crisp pork skin in the oven if you make sure the salt also goes between the cuts in the skin. Look for Danish style pork roast known as Flæskesteg for common samples of this.
Checkout a Colombian place for fried pork belly in strips.
Pork is a no… does not look appealing
One has to wonder why these "cooks" are always preparing dishes with dead animals. Bridget & Julia, who themselves are bordering on obese, are constantly preparing and eating dead animals, such as these pigs, which are about as unhealthy dishes as one could ever ask for. Why have they constantly ignored medical advise about food, nutrition, cholesterol, saturated fat and obesity?
I want that pork belly.
Didn't your other girls already do this review? Skeptical, now.
Can I do that with pork chops also?
The tenderloin looked good but the belly looked like pure fat that was fried. Not appetizing to look at.
I touch myself, watching Bridgette 😍
Mmkay, I now understand what I did wrong last time I made some pork belly like this. it was delicious but the skin wouldn't crisp up the way I wanted, once lockdown is lifted I'll have to head over to the butcher and give this another shot. Becky's tenderloin steaks also looked amazing, i'll have to try that one too.
I absolutely LOVE my Ninja Foodi Flip. In addition to air frying it even toasts up to 9 slices of toast at a time…. and it FLIPS up out of the way when you're not using it. It only takes up about 6" of your countertop when not in use.
Perfect Recipe…
O, Dan.
When Becky Hays cooks I listen. She always delivers. Thank her for us.
Hi are there any openings for chefs who have sensory and product development experience at America’s Test Kitchen?
FYI: those air fryers shown to have high levels of acrylamide in your food. Still arguments if this bad for you or not. Take it however you like
amazing, keep it up

Been wanting to try pork belly, so I've been looking for a not-so complicated recipe. The barbecued style belly looks too complex but the recipe that Dan uses looks easy. Love that he even showed us how to shop for it. Gonna try this SOON. Thanks, Dan!
we love becky
Was surprised to see the pork being pounded but not covered to prevent cross contamination of meat juices etc?
Does anybody else notice that Bridget clearly doesn't like Becky? I totally understand, but just put Julia back on instead.
Becky and Dan wow!!! Best pork tenderloin and pork belly ever!!! I am so hungry right now!!!!
