100% garlic bread comes out beautifully.

Have a garlic baguette tonight with pasta, although pasta will go cook on stove, any tips for the garlic baguette, temp/time?

I did a part backed baguette the other day in no time so presume it won't take long either.

Just did mushrooms and some vegetarian sausages which both come out good.

Mushrooms cut in quarters sprayed with a little oil @200C for 5 mins.

Sausages @ 180c for 8mins.

You leave one out to get cold or what?

Getting mine Monday I hope.

Of course. Thanks.

So is it not worth having the single basket ones? Duals all seem sold out.

No because I have dual air fryer so both cook at same time or using the sync feature.

What’s a rough temp/time guide for cooking bacon (not streaky) and sausages (not thin like chipolota)

Everything in my house gets cooked at 180.... Seems easy and fine.... Never changed it in years!

I toast the bread slightly butter the outside, make a sandwich using cheese and ham. Stick it in the air fryer for 5mins then check.

I ended up getting a free kindle book with recipes.

Did a toastie, worked well.. note to self, secure the top piece of bread down next time! Opened the draw and it was stuck to the element/burning! Fan sucked it up!

Used cocktail sticks to hold it down and was fine once the cheese melted and held it together

I'd like to get an air fryer for my daughter for Christmas. They use an old deep fat fryer and with a toddler it's freaking me out a bit.

She also mentioned wanting a pressure cooker so was thinking the Ninja 11 in 1 would be a good option. Does anyone have any experience with this model?

We've been on about getting one at home too so would get 2.

We have the 14 in 1 and its become our most used kitchen gadget over the past 8 months, great bit of kit.

How are folks managing to cook frozen garlic supermarket bread? My AF400 just hates these things and I have to poke the hell out of the bread with a knife to get the heat to penetrate past the crust. The crust always comes out beatiful golden brown but the frozen butter is always still hard. It takes a few more minutes at this point.

Yup! Same with “light” food like grated cheese, it will get blown up before it melts, or pepperoni on pizza, or if you use baking paper as a base. Put a metal spoon down on the edges or it gets blown up to the top.

Low heat setting.

Cheers. I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I was using 160c on mine, I just couldn’t melt that hardened butter!
