Anyone using an air fryer ?

[Brno2e]

We got 11 in 1 Ninja. Short ribs pressured cooked are great but pork joints and crackling are to die for in the combi steam setting.
Best bit of kit going, you just need to play about with them.

I got one about month ago and can't remember turning the main oven on since.
Cooks food an absolute treat.

I have one, a Tefal something or other. Has the usual basket that all do but also came with a proper griddle thing you can put in the bottom which is briliant for cooking meats on.

As @scotch_egg says, fries and chips are superb in the air fryer. Quicker and better than an oven.

What is also good are burgers and steaks. I would still put loin in the pan on the hob but if you are cooking a venison burger for example, the air fryer does it brilliantly on the griddle attachment.

Lb of mince, 50grams of beef fat, a healthy dose of onion granules and some seasoning and smoked paprika and mix it up, shape in to your burger and chuck in the air fryer for 8 minutes. The fat renders down and because it cooks it all round and from underneath you get an even cooked through burger which is not dry. Really juicy. I have a couple each week.

Bacon is not too bad in them either and doesn't smoke the house out like it does when you grill them using the oven. Put in tin foil and no mess to clean up.

Onion rings are also stupidly well cooked and crispy in an air fryer.

Sweet potato hash is another good one.

Good for heating meat pies too, and you don't get soggy pastry like a microwave.

Pressure cooker on it a revelation as well
A 35 mins or so with venison casserole or stew is equivalent to 6-8 hrs in slow cooker

Yes, I agree, I’m a huge fan of pressure cookers , I have two myself. and In the pressure cooker, the resulting stew tastes of the ingredients you put in . Unlike a slow cooker which leaves whatever you put into it tasting musty and sweaty .
Kindest regards, Olaf

Our air fryer is great for drying my brass after I sonic clean them. Fifteen to twenty minutes at 110°C and they are done.

Would they be any good for drying chilli’s ?

Freeze them, or lay on a plate in airing cupboard.

Bratty and chips, 22 minutes @ 200 shake/turn halfway through, tastes just great.

Also use the pressure cooker for stew type stuff, agin good taste and texture

[Radstorm]

I’ve made venison jerky in the one at home - made some simple racks and hung strips on bamboo sticks - it was good

 

[sauer]

Chunks of lamb and venison into ninja with onion carrot and quartered peeled tatties,
Some beef stock and a can of bel haven , some seasoning and 40mins in pressure cooker mode …. Damp fine !
Wife made dumplings in it when ready

The Instant Pot is a cracking option
