Air Fryer V Combi Microwave
28 Answers
What are your thoughts?
I pondered long and heard, read reviews, read all the discussions on AB, etc, etc, about airfryers, and decided not to buy an air fryer, one of the reasons being I really didn’t want another gadget sitting taking up room on the worktop.
Instead (we’ll, kind of instead, we were getting one anyway) we bought a microwave which is also a ‘proper’ fan oven, and is a much larger capacity than our previous 15 year old very basic one. It sits in the same space as the old one.
I’ve not used the big oven since we got it and am very pleased with the way it cooks food, this new one takes a big casserole pot and has a stand which allows me to cook two tiers.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I decided against an air fryer although I was tempted. I already have a flatbed combi microwave which I use a lot, a slow cooker, a stove top pressure cooker and an electric slow cooker/pressure cooker combi.
I still use my main oven when I can fill it, my opinion being that it is extremely well insulated so doesn't use much electricity once it has reached temperature.
I have two very large freezers so do a lot of batch cooking - that saves electricity too as it quick to reheat dishes.

I would recommend a slow cooker to anyone who makes their own soups, casseroles, bolognese, chilli con carne, curries, braised meats such as lamb shanks, bread, puddings such as sticky toffee, traditional suet puddings.
I 'roast' shoulder of lamb, joints of brisket, pork shoulder, chicken and cook a lot of boiled bacon/gammon.
I make fabulous paella in it, too.
They are very cheap to buy and cost pennies to use. They are also indestructible, I've had my old fashioned one for probably 40 years and it used most days. Have a look at some of the recipes here https:/ /www.bb cgoodfo od.com/ recipes /collec tion/sl ow-cook er-reci pes?pag e=3
