Air fryer advice

Another vote for the ninja dual. Had a single Tower air fryer before and honestly it’s so much better the digital meat probe and dual zones make it amazing.

Been absolutely a game changer for meat based products.
 

Had one of these now for a few years. Very rarely use the oven these days.
The pressure cooker function is fantastic.
Oven ready pheasant done in 30 minutes on the bake function . Really versatile piece of kit .Roasts bakes stews soups steams fries.Slow cook.
😍
 
I have a ninja double drawer version - it’s good if you have two items that need different temps / times etc

Originally I didn’t want one but the Mrs did - but then I started making jerky in it - easy and I’m sold on it !

It’s really good - just not that easy to clean the elements on the cooker - the drawers are easy but the rest gets grime. That would be something I would consider to replace the one currently have.
 
I have the two draw Ninja . Air fryer and a good micro wave = a roast dinner in no time. Hardly use my oven now.
Baked spud. 10 mins in the microwave and then 10 mins on the extra crispy setting in the air fryer, Job done
 
Absolutely love ours - but make no mistake, it fries nothing.
That said, if you bring home leftover fried food (fish and chips, etc..) it is wonderful to reheat them - far superior to the microwave

I have an old Tefal Actifry which I have had for about 15 years..... as Cootmeuer said, reheated leftover chips are fantastic.... imagine chippy chips turned into gourmet 3x cooked chips :-).
 
Initially I wasn't convinced...... so when I spotted a Haden (single drawer) for sale @Lldl for 19 quid , I was suddenly converted! Immediate purchase.
I have hardly used my oven since, & never my grill. Smitten!
:)
 
I'm thinking of going all modern and getting an air fryer. It seems a two drawer type is the most versatile, and as I'm on my own I don't need a huge model.

Has anyone any perticular reommedations as to make and model?
Hi.
Now i am on my own i may look at one of these. I thought they were just another of those gadgets that get used for a month and then live at the back of a kitchen cupboard. It would save putting the oven on for one meal.

With them the timing of cooking is the best feature, I do a roast chicken (start off with it up side down) then flip it over for the rest of the time, a lot of juice to heat a oven,
They brown off a jacket spud perfect after being in the microwave which cooks the inside, (lots of goes with the knife all over the spud)
I boil veg on the hob tbh but they don't take long.

I cook a whole chicken the same way . Start on its back then flip over. Baked spuds, perfect. I've not boiled veg for years. 5-6 mins in the microwave = perfect veggies.
I always truss the chicken when cooking in the airfryer. Trussing a chicken properly is a thing I learnt many years ago in another life.
