I can only dream of flaky tofu. We can only get one brand of tofu here and it's more like a pumice stone after it's been frozen.

First time using the double freeze method and turned out good - used extra firm accidentally. After tossing in the buffalo sauce I baked 15 minutes, flipped and 15 more minutes. So crispy not overdone - they were awesome! Thank you for your videos! Stay well

This looks delicious 😋 Thanks for the recipe 🙌🏻

Holy moly, you are a vegan genius!

yay!! I'm so happy for you! Btw, another viewer mentioned to me that he used Trader Joe's Organic Tofu (magenta label) and it WORKS! It does not have an additional "firmness" indicated on the label (so not the firm/extra firm). Hope that helps for next time.

I...LOVE...WATCHING... freaking good looking "chicken" recipe without even trying to replicate them and I just end up hungry

6:15 one of alton brown's tricks to his chicken parm was to use salt and vinegar lay's crushed up in his breading. It adds serious flavor.

Thank you I had no idea you could thaw tofu in the microwave. It's a real game changer.👍🌹

Not a vegan, but i enjoyed watch how the food being processed.

Another great recipe! Mary, which convection oven did you get? I want one. I seldom use my oven anymore. I use my NuWave as often as possible, but there is very little room on the racks, and if you use both racks at the same time, of course, the food on the bottom rack doesn’t get cooked thoroughly, if at all. And, you mentioned onion rings. I had no mix for batter one night, so I used blueberry pancake mix.

@marystestkitchen

The one I have was gifted; a toshiba microwave/convection oven. TBH, I'd rather get a Breville/Cuisineart combo air fryer next time. Blueberry pancakes mix for onion ring batter? Now that's creative!
