Air fryers

The air fryer has been well used so far,  and since we acquired it 10 days back the oven has not been switched on.

So far we have had fish and chips twice, roast chicken, and chicken kyiv, both with roast potatoes.    We also used it to cook single portion M&S ready made Lasagnes, and toast burger buns and hot cross buns.    Much easier and surely much cheaper than using the grill in the oven.

Not sure what is on the menu today.

Ours surprises us every day, fabulous recipes on the many and varied websites dedicated to air friers. Yes, but as you’re finding K, a bit trial and error at first but constant checking and experience helps a great deal and with it confidence. Between a third & half energy saving we are told on conventionals but the main advantage for us is speed of cooking and the flexibility of cooking methods ours provides. Our main oven hasn’t been on for months either at home or on sites. Just used it on a 10amp site, no issues!

We  have just bought one today an unknown make from our Action shop and made in Holland not China so will give it a go just got to rejig where it will go in the kitchen which is not huge so may go behind our small coffee maker which has room behind it.

Ours friends have one and we have had good chips and potato wedges from fresh potatoes and they tasted good.

We have fried bread (a personal favourite of mine) from ours too, easy to do and it tastes great.

One of mine too, that and black pudding!. Can you achieve a reduced fat fried bread? What’s your airfrier method Corners?

Mayday, mayday. I'm drowning in my own saliva here.

sorry hadn't spotted this, well actually it's along the line of asking Mrs C for it. She's out atm but I will ask. I never used to get it with my bacon and eggs on a Saturday morning as she claimed it was too difficult and/or didn't have enough frying pans but I get the impression it's very easily and quickly done in the airfryer

 There is not much in an air “fryer” to pre-heat, so only takes less than half a minute if you want to.

 Cooking is improved with a good shake every now and again, so set time short of what you expect, and if not done give a last shake and stick back in for another minute.

 Cake tins and foil containers can be found to fit most baskets to use for stew, lasagne, and other sloppy foods such as fried egg.

 I stick the part of the meal that will take longest into the fryer first, and add further foods at shake times.

 As on all ovens etc temperatures and times are just a rough indicator, but on the AF, as it cooks fast, go for slightly lower and shorter as if food needs more it will only take a couple of minutes or less.

 Mine is 1400 watts ( 5.8 of our precious amperes ) but if something else has to be switched off at least it is not for long.  Not tried it on the inverter yet.  

I have now consulted with my chef-du-airfryer and: soak the bread in a flat bowl of olive oil then put in the crisper basket (not really sure what that is tbh) and air fry for 10 minutes.
