Wound up making 3 bags (36oz) of croutons. Should be enough for the soup.

      Deep fried in canola oil @ 360°F for 4m15s (agitate every minute to ensure even cooking).

          You are correct, air fryers are trash. Thankfully, you can undo your mistake on the cheap. Countertop deep fryers are less expensive. (My first one was $30 USD before I realized “holy shit I’m good at this,” and upgraded to a larger $65 unit.)

          It’s easily the second-best purchase I’ve ever made.

          #1 is the OXO Mandolin (largely used for prepping French fries).

              I’m extremely afraid of mandolins, which is why I bought the brand specifically designed for arthritic geriatrics.

              I also have a big “oops boiling oil” scar, which chicks dig (I’m told).


              I’m allowed in the dull men’s club because I deep fried bread for three hours.
