Air Fryers … any good / recommendations

[Lord Tyrion]

Here is something I don’t understand about the air fryer.

If I make chips, at 200 C, why does the time change with the wattage?

Are 200 degrees in a 1400W air fryer colder than 200 degrees in a 2000W one?

Something about the high efficiency of an air fryer meaning the key temperature can be lower and have the same effect as a higher temperature in a larger oven.

Or maybe it's just one of those magical things we shouldn't look too deeply into and just accept it is what it is . Like, how do massive planes with 500 people and their luggage get off the ground?

Definitely not a gimmick or fad in this house

Breakfast this morning

Girls cereal, toast and one wanted pain au chocolat.. so the latter went in the air fryer for 2 mins.

I then cooked the wife and I scrambled egg on bagels with cut up bacon on top, air fried ofc

It's A very good to leave things like bacon cooking whilst you do Jobs and B very tasty

I paid £180 3 years ago for it and it's been used basically every day since

Where as the oven has been relegated to an also run

Beats the insta pot which I prob use once every 3 months and that's just using the pot inside as a bigger pan rather than the insta pot itself. Now that was a fad

I fancy rustling up something for a bonfire night meal later but can I bugger decide what to cook, any ideas?

I have to say that since I have been single, I have used mine far more rather than cook in the oven and so it has proved very useful.

Whover mentioned the instapot, I agree to a certain extent but I do use it probably once a month for what it is mainly meant for but I use it most weeks in slow cooker mode.

I don't know if anybody is looking for a slightly fancier air frier, but I spotted this deal recently which may interest some.
