The cost of living crisis has seen a huge demand in oven alternatives - including air fryers - as foodies look for cheaper ways to combat soaring energy bill prices. People have been sharing a range of creative cooking hacks they've been trying with their new appliances, and one woman has left people floored with her latest air fryer recipe.
Taking to popular video-streaming service TikTok, Brooke left jaws dropping as she shared her method of creating perfectly crispy hot dogs in her air fryer. In the video, which has surpassed 3.3 million views since posting, several viewers were gobsmacked by the revelation while others have claimed to swear by the cooking technique for years.
Captioning the post, Brooke wrote: "Making air fried hot dogs a thing."
"Did you know that you can air fry hot dogs to make them perfectly crispy?" She asked viewers.
The American TikToker explained the simple method: "All you have to do is air fry it at 390 degrees [around 200C in the UK] for three minutes - give it a good shake and then you'll air fry it for four more minutes."
She continued: "At the last minute, you'll want to take them out and place them in their buns.
"And then you'll air fry it for that remaining minute."
Flocking to the comments, some users revealed that they've been swearing by the cooking method for years.
One person claimed: "We've been air frying hot dogs for like two or three years. Perfect hot dogs.."
"Been doing this for years just like left over pizza is 100x better in the air fryer the next day," a second agreed.
A third exclaimed: "I was surprised how good air fryer hots are! Best way to cook them."
"Wait I thought everyone did this lmao," a fourth wrote.
