Air fryers

[Signs]

Had two halogen fryers now , amazing bit of kit , got this on a whim today ( nasty scratch on the lid but honestly can’t be bothered taking it back )

My lad is 16 now ( mostly him and I at home when my partner isn’t here ) so lets see how this thing cooks

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it not really been that bothered before they are supposed to be real power savers & perfect results too.

I make a lot of zero calorie foods in mine, especially chips.

I was sceptical but now use it as the main oven most of the time.

I've got this one. Give the probe a go cooking chicken - it comes out absolutely spot on!

Am I being stupid here? Zero calorie foods, What?

Fried...in air!

Yes, thanks, I understand what an air fryer does but it's the zero calorie bit that did me in! All food, even the disgusting celery contains calories. So why are we calling it zero calorie food? Is it a trendy buzz word or summat?

It's just a laugh.
Zero calorie chips!

Same here. When her indoors wanted one I assumed it would end up at the back of a cupboard: ...but it's used most days now. Amazing bit of kit!

Whoosh!

They work. Make good food. Less fat. Less washing up. It's a bit like a dishwasher. You never needed one until you had one. Now it's indispensable.

Me too, and warming frozen (fresh) croissants in 3 minutes.

Did have a look into them but do they actually svae any money?

Some review say the coating comes off within a few months.

Also cleaner is not that easy.

I only use the oven for puddings but doubt they would fit in an air frier.

I mostly cook on a gas hob.

My wife likes our £50 air fryer, but I am the dishwasher. Never use the electric one.

We use one of these, but I cut the sides down to maximise air flow. Coating is still fine after a year or more.

And I changed the gas hob for an induction hob, as my wife had left it on a few times. Works well, just can't lift a frying pan and swirl it around, as the heating stops. Nice and easy to clean too.
