Sounds like you’re enjoying your cooking experiences. If I didn’t have decent ovens and cooking pots etc and if I had a lot of mouths to feed I’d probably go down that road too but I just think it would gather dust after the initial use.

From experience I’ve found that if I hesitate at all on a purchase (which I’ve done on air fryers for a long time now) it’s a big sign that I likely don’t need the item- I’m eventually stating to listen to myself 😀

Yes cooking for myself , do i need this ? do i.

Do need to change things up for the cold weather when food is needed to heat you up as a sambo wont cut it.

Bought the Tower Dual from Lidl at the weekend for €129 after I dropped my salter one off the counter :(

I like it, strangely its got the buttons on the top of the unit and what I like most is it has actually buttons, not touch buttons

Apologies for replying to my own post but was looking at the posts here and while this https://amzn.eu/d/bqtEYrf

(The 10 lt 2 drawer) looks great it’s still twice the price of the Uton and actually not available now on Amazon now anyway.

Just wondering what ye think is the issue with this. It will do a roast and veg. with dripping tray which drawer AFs don’t.

I still haven’t made my mind up.

Thoughts?

Currently have an Instant Vortex dual basket model, brand new in box on Adverts if anyone is in the market for an Airfryer.

Just discovered a four part series on Channel 5 called:

Air Fryers: Batch cooking made easy. Looks like pretty adventurous recipes from what I've seen, stuff I would never have thought you could cook in an air fryer.

You need a British VPN to access it on the channel 5 site.

I finally got off the fence and got an air fryer!

I got a 9 litre Salter from Dunnes and it's great, I'm just sorry I didn't get one sooner.

The deciding factor for me was the fact my Oven / Grill is about 18 years old and electric so it's a real energy guzzler.

I can't get over how moist chicken breasts are from it and the air fryer is a game changer for Pork Fillets.

I could never have justified turning the oven on for a few chicken breasts.

Even the part baked baguettes are divine from it - I'm in love 😍

I think if you're sitting on the fence definitely get one as apart from the energy economics, most food is nicer from it.

We recently got our first airfyer, the Ninja Double Stack whatever it's called and it is quite noisy alright. However I roasted a chicken in it in 50 minutes on Saturday and was able to do some roast potatoes in the other drawer so I'm happy enough 😁

The actifry has finally failed, so time to replace it. Do any of ye have the toaster oven shaped airfryers? Are they easier to clean? Do they work as well? Whatabou the ones with microwaves built in?

Mostly I want a quick small alternative to the oven. Mostly the actifry has been used for shredded chicken the last while or reheating chipper chips.

If we want chip chips, we use the deepfryer.I suspect, despite the evangelism, the chips from the airfryer will not compell us to change our ways. (and yes, ppl have fed us air fryer chips, we weren't particularly impressed)
