re. Airfryer.

She has started with roasted parsnips and so far, impressed with ease of use and taste and presentation of product.

Jury still out, but prognosis looks good.

She is going to try a cake next.

barry....further assesment:

Tomatoes, done in Afryer...superb.

Mrs sqad feels.......if you can afford to use oven and hob, do so, as Airfryer is a useful accessory.

From what Ive been reading about them, air ‘fryer’ is the the wrong name for them, aren’t they just a small convection oven, nothing to do with frying?
I get that things cook quicker in them because they’re smaller than a conventional fan oven, and I know there are a few folk on here that swear by them, but for myself I won’t be buying one.

[Sqad]

Vagus......exactly.

I have an air fryer, I stick most things that should be cooked in the oven.

However, I have been unable to get a pizza or naan bread in it.

Mrs Sqad must think that we are all crazy!

wolf, would you cook a joint of rib of beef or leg of pork in the air fryer? Enough for four adults with leftovers? That's the sort of thing I cook in the oven.

[wolf63]

Barry - I don't cook anything I just take it out of the wrapper and heat it up.

It will take 8 sausages or 2 Gregg's frozen sausage rolls if that gives you an idea of size. It is a handy little oven.

Thanks, wolf. I'd cook the sausages on the hob and the sausage rolls in my combi microwave on the 'turbo bake' setting.
I'm not convinced that I need an air fryer cluttering the place up.

[wolf63]

An air fryer doesn't do anything that your combi microwave doesn't. Save yourself some money by not buying one.
