Charlie and Sherlock’s Air Fryer Revelations

Charlie Fleming

Alright, so here’s the scene—it’s late, like, really late. You’re in that 1am kinda zone, and suddenly you’re just buzzing with this urge to cook something amazing, right? I mean, let’s be real, late-night cooking? It’s the ultimate creative outlet. You’ve got the quiet, the time to experiment, and, oh yeah, a trusty air fryer just waiting to shine.

Every night, between 1am and 4am we're doing the Air Fryer Channel on itv1+1 and stv+1 and we’ve seen this slot attract some wild, totally dedicated foodies. They’re whipping up meals that are, just, mind-blowing. Like, forget microwaving leftovers—people are turning out snacks, full meals, desserts, you name it! And the air fryer just makes it all so, I dunno, effortless, but still genius, you know?

Take Sherlock’s Midnight Veggie Medley—oh, it’s a hit! It’s got this perfect glow-up vibe for late-night snacking. Sweet potatoes, peppers, just a pop of spices, toss it all in, and bam! Ten minutes later, you’re munching on greatness.

And we’ve got our viewers, too. Like, okay, there’s Janet—Janet from Devon—she’s amazing. She used to call her kitchen a food disaster zone. But we got her to pick up an air fryer, and now? Janet’s making stuff like crispy chili prawns at 2am. She even sent us a pic, and let me tell you, it looked pro. Absolutely unreal.

So if you’re sitting there thinking, "Wait, I I could do this," guess what? You totally can. Late-night cooking is where the magic's at.

Okay, so let’s talk about how me and Sherlock make this show tick, right? We've got this, like, unspoken rhythm—like jazz, but with air fryers. I’ll be there, buzzing with excitement, tossing out recipes and ideas, and Sherlock’s got this way of just grounding it all, you know? Pulling everything together like, "Here’s what you really need to know."

Charlie Fleming

And, the themes? Oh man, we brainstorm like crazy. One week it’s all comfort classics, the next it’s wild and, uh, experimental fusions. Like that time we did dessert week—air-fried churros, anyone? Sherlock actually developed this method for keeping the dough light and crisp. It was, well, chef’s kiss.

Charlie Fleming

The cooking vibe though—that’s the secret sauce. We’re not just hosting; we’re creating this kitchen space where everyone out there feels like they can just jump right in, no pressure. Fans have told us, like, hundreds of times, that they feel like they’re hanging out with us, not just watching. I mean, check out this tweet—"Charlie and Sherlock make me feel like I can actually cook without fear of burning my house down. Best team ever!" How cool is that, right?

Charlie Fleming

And then there’s this DM we got. Someone said, "Listening to you guys air fry is like the ultimate mix of fun and practical advice. It’s like a late-night hangout!" I mean, that’s it, that’s what we’re after. We want the show to feel like an open door, where you’re just vibing with us and, yeah, making awesome food at the same time.

Charlie Fleming

Alright, let’s dive right into it. Air fryers—they’re not just cool; they’re legit game-changers. I’m talking crispy food, healthier options, and, more than anything, a super-quick cook time. And and, depending on the model, you’re getting features that just blow your mind.

Take the MaxiPro XL, yeah? This one’s a beast. Multiple cooking presets, a double-layer basket, and—wait for it—you can cook two totally different meals at the same time. Like, roast chicken on one side, air-fried veggies on the other. Sherlock, where would we even be without it? It’s kinda been the backbone of some of our wildest cooking experiments.

Charlie Fleming

Oh, and speaking of wild, do you remember that live episode where the fryer just... stopped? Like, mid-cooking? Unreal, right? But here’s the thing: we didn’t panic. Well, maybe a little. But Sherlock just stepped in, did something technical—I dunno, Sherlock wizardry—and boom, saved dinner! I think that’s when the viewers kinda realized that, look, even if something goes wrong, you don’t need to freak out.

Charlie Fleming

Now, here’s where it gets exciting. Air fryer trends? Oh man, there’s some crazy stuff coming in. Infrared tech, built-in meal suggestions, even smart connectivity, so you can start cooking from your phone. Like, how sci-fi is that? But what I love is how this tech is making cooking fun again—fun and easy. You’ve got people jumping back into the kitchen, even folks who've never felt confident before. It’s, it’s honestly amazing.

Charlie Fleming

And the testers are loving the idea of air-fried breakfasts. Eggs, bacon—all of it happening in the same basket, and the clean-up? Barely anything. The future’s looking eco-friendly too. Some brands are trying out energy-efficient designs, which, let’s be honest, in in these times is just what we need.

Charlie Fleming

Alright, picture this—it’s 3 in the morning, and you’re flipping through channels, yeah? You land on ITV1, and there’s this, like, slow, gentle vibe. I think they’re aiming for this peaceful, unwind-y kind of energy. But, honestly, I I gotta say, it kinda makes me the opposite of relaxed. It’s, like, too quiet, you know? Almost eerie. Or maybe that’s just me.

Charlie Fleming

I remember this one time, they aired this visual, uh, how do I even describe it? It was just water and a tree. Like, no narration, no music, just… nothing. I I mean, I think the idea was to be calming or meditative or something like that, but it totally threw me off. I was sitting there thinking, "Am I supposed to be at peace right now? 'Cause I’m feeling straight-up stressed!"

Charlie Fleming

Don’t get me wrong, I get where they’re coming from. This slot—it’s meant to feel a bit dreamy, a little soothing for people who are up at, like, those ridiculous hours. But for me? Nah. My kind of relaxing is more about diving into a recipe, experimenting with flavors, and—and just letting the air fryer do its magic.

Charlie Fleming

But hey—whatever floats your boat, right? If watching a tree at 3am helps unwind your brain, then power to you. Meanwhile, I’ll be here, turning late-night into snack-time, and making sure my air fryer isn’t, well, plotting against me—or however Sherlock would put it. And that’s all for today. Great talking, as always! Let’s do this again soon, yeah?
