Hey MandiPie,

Thank you for the recipe. I used it to christen my brand new air fryer. I wanted something whimsical and fun.

I am using an Instant pot Vortex and increased the temp to 300 but kept the cook time the same. I assume the differences between brands can cause different outcomes with regard to doneness.

Once I adjusted for my own appliance, the results were wonderful. Thank you, again!

Paula
