As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”

The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.

Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

Moisture means the local temperature where that moisture is is going to be restrained to around boiling until that moisture cooks off. If you're frying anything for any purpose I am absolutely positive that you will want it to be as dry as possible on the outside to promote browning and caramelization

I was going to say in my other comment but yeah if I'm breading tofu i prefer doing wheat flour anyway. I just don't like the result corn starch gives outside of gget specific purposes

P.s. I don't use air fryers though but I'm pretty sure they're just like tiny convection ovens. In which case I don't think you'll ever really get "this is a good fried food" effects from it. They're ultimately still just roasting, being surrounded by oil is just a fundamentally different cooking environment than air can provide

Well, no, there's a slight distinction from roasting. The convection comes from a fan blowing the hot air around and that active movement removes moisture faster than simply heating it up like what happens during a roast. You really do get crisping.

It's not the same as deep frying though, it's just more efficient roasting. It's going to be a more even result than without the convection but that's really it

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It's definitely not the same as deep frying, but it's also definitely not the same as roasting. imo it's its own thing.
