    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?

    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)

    Seems decently enough reviewed on amazon.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CC381Q2R/?th=1

    Made jump to the Ninja 9.5 Dual Drawer with thermometer probe last week from my nearly 6 year old £80 Bargain XXL Philips. Philips still works perfectly but mesh and insert is getting very hard keep clean. Priced new mesh and basket insert but hard find an expensive with shipping from Europe. Decided I was better putting the money in a new model. I'll still keep it for when I want to do a chicken or big batches.

    Very pleased with the Ninja, much easier keep clean. The smaller separate drawers are very handy and much more manageable for washing. Tiny bit slower than the Philips to cook but still learning. Some things might need higher temp than the Philips though. Haven't done anything with probe yet but will be handier if I cook some bigger pieces of meat in it.

    Thoughts on this double air fryer in Lidl next week?

    https://www.lidl.ie/p/xl-double-drawer-air-fryer/p10028724

    Reviews online seem ok for it.
