Air fryers

I've found out from Wiki:

An air fryer is a small countertop convection oven designed to simulate deep frying without submerging the food in oil.

All I do actually know is that is makes very tasty food and apparently, although I've not checked nor intend to, is cheaper to and quicker to cook with.

and an Air Dryer??

No idea TimboC that must be above my 'age' of manhood?

A big article in todays { Not to be trusted, or so some folks think  } Saturday Daily Mail  about them and what to cook in them !

I'm looking into getting one, not a big one just for the 2 of us what kind of capacity would that be. 

I have a Remoska which I love but it does take longer to cook things. I have to be careful about fried food as I have high cholesterol so should avoid it, looking at an air fryer it seems to be a healthier way of cooking things more like a bbq. 

Thoughts welcomed

We bought a Salter Dual Air, which has two compartments, this means we can put fish etc one side and potatoes etc the other, then time them to be ready at the same time. I also have very high cholesterol, despite a reasonably good diet, the Dr said that I could make it for England! So I was very reluctant to buy one as we almost never eat fried food, the name is very deceptive. It just works like a mini fan oven and you can cook almost anything in it. I haven’t used oil in anything that I have cooked in it so far. By using that and the slow cooker for casseroles I haven’t used our lovely range oven in the last 3 weeks, and I was the person who didn’t want one. It takes a bit of time to get used to temperature and timings. My tip is to get one bigger rather than smaller, if you have the workspace, because I think, once started, that you may find you will use it far more than you expect. Next spring we will definitely be getting another one for us and the family to use in our static van, will be a big saving on turning on that oven and using the gas bottles.

Made scotch eggs for OH this afternoon, I’m not over keen on them, 15 minutes in the air fryer, and cooked nicely. No fat used as enough in the sausage meat.

Sorry didn’t mean to press the quote button.

I see that Lidl will be having one like we and DEBSC have on 15/12, good price, £99.99.    Assuming they actually get them in!

Thanks for the info.

Given it more thought and decided not to bother getting one.

I really can't justify the cost after buying the Remoska grand for the house and the smaller one for the van.

Yes it takes longer but at 560w and 400w the cost in cooking is not that much different. I use the slow cooker a lot to batch cook meals, then freeze them. All they need then is a flash in the microwave to heat up.
