Thankfully no one was injured, but it did cause several hundred dollars worth of property damage

The key to making them super crispy in an air fryer (just like with chicken wings) is to use a bit of corn starch instead of flour. Makes them very crispy!

Chef Scott is clearly very talented but it took him like 5 hours of work to make mozzarella balls and when I want mozzarella sticks I'd much rather have either of the other two options, the simple, straightforward, mozzarella stick is part of the charm

Something to note with the air fryer. Using cheetos for breading actually makes a crispy crust because of the oil inside the chips deep fries for you

i remember Chris from Top Chef. Loved seeing him on this series & Desi was a great addition as well!

I like using the air fryer. It doesn’t heat my house up like an oven does.

I've been a cook since I graduated high-school back in 2012 but while I was living on my own I got myself an airfryer because I had no idea what I'm suppose to do with the veggie oil after I make a single meal for myself so the airfryer was a big help

I absolutely use an air fryer to cook everything, easier for me and I don't really mind not having a deep fried oily flavor or slightly less crunch

I respect the level 2 way of life. Level 1 is understandable but after having done home cooking myself it's impossible to go back to eating certain things that are store bought (like sauce) after tasting the difference with something I made at home myself. Level 3 is impressive and has to be satisfying/delicious but I 100% don't have the time/money to do absolutely EVERYTHING from scratch. I'm very comfortable being a Level 2 chef for life, it's the best middle ground to have.

ive been burnt by oil a ton, literally almost time i put any amount of oil in a pan it somehow ends up splashing on me, and although airfryers dont make food as great as deep frying does, it is so worth it just to avoid burns and blisters. it also is a lot better health-wise. also cooking bacon in an air fryer is literally the best method, i once cooked an entire pack in my air fryer (the peices were separated and on racks) and it took like 20 minutes in total.

Level one dude is hilarious with his one-liners... he has my vote!

Level one chef: I respect a person who knows their limits... And he seems like a big ol' teddy bear🤗 Level two chef: You can never go wrong with Beth 💖 Level three chef: Balls. Dude, The episode is titled '4 Levels of Mozarella STICKS'. But they still look tasty 😆
