Air Fryers

[Heedless Horseman]

Have just got small Air Fryer. I you do not already have... get one!
They are amazing!
Only used twice, so far, but perfectly cooked sausages without frying pan and have just had runny yolked Soft Boiled Eggs without boiling water! (No mess to clean out of tray with those!).
Google for loads of utube demonstations/recipes/tips... and have Fun! 

Steaks, Chips, Burgers, F'Fingers, Bacon... whole Chicken! Tray may need soapy water wash... griddle a brush... but paper tray under griddle saves tray getting clagged. Some cooks use sprayed high temp oil eg.Avocado... maybe on steak,  but usually not needed for most oven stuff. 

My Ma would have LOVED this thing!

I've been wondering about getting one of those for a bit.
Couldn't make my mind up if it would save me tons of time and effort or if it would end up unused and unloved, cluttering the place up like my daughter's coffee machine she insisted she Absolutely Needed!!! when she was 16.
Sounds as if it may get more use (not difficult as she refused to take it to Uni as it was too...I dunno - too something!).
You may have persuaded me.

My wife swears by it and much less smelly than normal fryers, plus a damned site easier to clean.

I will hold this forum directly responsible for anything cooking related which happens after mine arrives on Wednesday!

I rather like the presentations from 'Recipe This'... straight forward and little faff, with temps in C. She does say to avoid cheaper supermarkets' own or 'fattier' sausage brands... our fave being one! Will try, sometime. The brand of sausage bought in Sainsburys did NOT smoke at all.
I NEVER thought that I would be looking up 'cookery' in the internet!!!   

Lol. Once bought Ma a Breadmaker... never touched, and her big Fat Fryer only used once. Went to skip.

We've got one and it's excellent, so much easier and quicker for all kinds of stuff.

The handful of things I fry can go in the wok or the frying pan.

But I wouldn't be without my little halogen oven with it's clockwork timer.

We've have had a Ninja air fryer for a while.  It does fantastic spicy chicked wings.  Together with our slow cooker and bread maker it is the most used stand alone specialist appliance in our kitchen.  The electric frying pan and electric wok we were given as wedding presents 40 years ago are the least used though we haven't got the heart to ditch them.

Breadmaker, coffee machine - my breakfast depends on both!

They are said to use half the electricity of a normal oven ... and cook in half the time, delivering superbly cooked food.  It is proving an excellent purchase.

From being a totaly non-cook... to microwave... due to 'life'...
WOW... def an 'oppenning'! Try it! 
Mine is only small... just One to cater for... but bigger would be better1
Ask Wifey, if one about! LOL!

It takes a brave man to admit it!

I got one about a month ago and have found it useful. Despite its name it doesn't fully replace frying but is an excellent efficient mini oven and I've rarely used my main oven since getting it. Between it and my instant pot pressure cooker (another purchase I'd highly recommend) the oven is pretty much obsolete for small family cooking. Both produce results much faster than the oven. The pot has the advantage of doing all manner of rice, grains, braises and stews too in generally much less time. They airfryer I find you do sometimes have to experiment a bit to find the right way to cook things as it's not quite the same as the oven or the fryer. But excellent when you get it right.
