Do you airfry?

I have that exact same worry . Which is why I need someone else to try it out first to find out. Go on, you know you want to.......

 

We've got a Cecotec (Spanish brand, really reliable) with lots of programs, all working just fine. Indeed, you can make a lot of pre-cooked frozen meals, but we've also done some chicken breast and asparagus and it tasted wonderful. It depends on being disciplined.

As far as effort and, more over, having a mess in the kitchen, it goes without saying that the air fryer is the way to go. For us, at least.

 

We got a cheap one, to see if they were any good, and we love it. We hardly ever use the main oven anymore.

 

don't like the idea of cooking anything wet in mine, and it is temperamental so complained, research your consumer rights (2015 act) you can expect items to last a reasonable time depending on what they are and less than 2 years ain't that (up to 5-6 years, but can't imagine you'd get far with items much over 3-4 years as some burden of proof it isn't wear and tear)

even so still prefer to cook traditional, helped by the fact my energy bill is usually not very high - except when I left the Evil that shall nOt be Named who said farewell with a statement of over £5k as owing, then claimed it was system error. They must use Horizon, have relayed plenty of info to our local MP who reckons they will follow it up in an official capacity as the whole situation with energy suppliers is a joke - overcharge, keep your money, make it up as they go along in spite of smart meters (the meters may be smart, the energy suppliers sit at the other end of that scale)


cooking chips/fries in an air fryer, doesn't knock as much time off as you might think and noone says you can't cook other things in it at the same time (oven) Find it far easier to cook a whole meal on gas hob and in the oven than muck about in the air fryer, may suit some, I'm much of take it or leave it.

 

I use ours quite often, at least twice a week. It’s a ninja and moderate size. We typically do salmon filets or chicken for salad. If not for a protein we use it a lot for vegetables like Parmesan green beans. You’d be surprised but the pre cooked, frozen shrimp is very nice in the air fryer and takes just a few minutes so it makes for a very quick weekday meal

 

Have you bought one yet?

I've ended up pivoting completely and buying a pizza maker . It's absolutely awesome.

Delizia Red G10006 02 Pizza Oven - Patented G3 Ferrari | G3 Ferrari

 

Looks like a Hoover.

 

Got The Tower twin tray from Tesco and paid under 90 notes for it. Don't need a lardy dardy posh Ninja one as one I got is brilliant.

 

Ours was £60 form Home Bargains and does the job. It has two draws etc and you can synchronise them too. There's some really good cheap ones about.

 

This is why you go gas I promise you with a pizza that's in there for about 2 mins max you can't tell the difference (and no ball ache setting it up!)

 

I'm old school, I fry things in a pan

 

Oh didn't realise you had an Ooni too, same! They're awesome, one of my best purchases ever

 

Fried Mars Bar.

 

Been wanting one for ages and then about a month ago, Ninja put their large double draw version on sale. So I got it. I absolutely love it. Cooks quicker and more efficient and I signed up to Ninja and got an extra 10% off. Only cost me £134 and that was the big one as well.

 

oh I have one of the small Oonis and just got it so I’ve only used once. It’s a holiday weekend and I want to use it this weekend

 

Haven't tried much atm but I've sent that link to my wife for future reference. Some nice looking food on there.
