Air fryers and vegan stuff?

[tom_e]

Cheap frozen burgers (or chicken) would be fine in it but I wouldn't cook fresh beef ones. It doesn't caramelised the same vs on the stove on a pan. Where it will cook in it's own fat.

Veggie burgers would be perfectly fine in it.

I've actually found it surprisingly good for fresh beef burgers, flip them half way and you can get decent colour on them.

I sometimes do fresh burgers in my Philips model, they do smoke quite a bit though if you leave them too long or otherwise **** up the temperature. None of the caramelisation though as Raymo says, still decent though.

An air fryer is literally just a small fan assisted oven. It'll work fine.

I still don't get how people don't understand this and think it cooks food differently to a normal fan assisted oven

How do you clean these things as they must get clogged up pretty quick being so small?

Probably because it's called an air fryer. Makes it seem different.

There's the instant vortex dual 7.6l on offer now for 150.

Might bite the bullet

the dirty bits are all removable so you just wash them like you wash everything else with soap and water in the sink
