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.
I’m sat here trying to talk myself out of ordering a Ninja Woodfire XL It’s Gareth’s fault The suns come out and dinner plans have changed to fancy burgers and it would be perfect Buggeration and fckery - I’m going to lose this one aren’t I
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.
