Air fryers

[aVdub]

My only attempt at jacket potatoes and they got really dark on the outside before the inside was soft/cooked and that's on the roast setting. What's the secret?
Only tried them the once in the Ninja AF400

Pricked and cleaned potatoes at 10-15 minutes in the microwave at 800W for me (I do 15 minutes for a potato that goes through the ricer with ease) and then finish off in the air fryer at recommended settings for your model.
I would guess around 10microwave + 5airfryer.

I just put them in at about 170c for about 50 minutes.

I find it means overcooked bacon. Fine if you like super overdone bacon I guess.
I like it on a silly hot pan for 1 minute each side.

Stuff like chicken thighs, jacket potatoes, Yorkshire pudding I find best so far.

You know you can keep checking on the bacon? You don’t have to wait until it’s finished cremating your bacon before you take it out?

I on the weekend, succumbed to the pull of an air fryer…. Its now in the outside kitchen so i can do chips, onion rings and garlic mushrooms, without leaving a fat fryer outside.

Its a Tower Vortx Dual Draw, before anyone asks.

Anyone bought racks for the drawers (AF400) or simply thrown sausages, bacon in and hoped for the best?

The crisper plate is kinda like the rack with the slats cut into them.
Sausages and bacon cooks great just sitting on the plate

Bought the AF400 at weekend direct from Ninja for £160.
Nobody told me that once you get one, it must be included in every conversation.

It's like being a vegan or a crossfitter...everyone needs to know the joys of an airfyer

My AF400 came with racks included as a special offer, I wouldn't say they are essential as it makes turning what you are cooking a bit of a pain. If I'm cooking up 4 large pieces of chicken though it can be handy, two on the bottom and two on the rack, chips in the other drawer.

Go well under on time and temp, check often and remember when done right

 

[robfosters]

Always remember, if it can be cooked on the oven or the hob, it can be cooked in the Airfryer.

Bored of Lunch by Nathan Anthony has been good so far, the onion bhajis are a favourite of mine.

Cook from frozen croissants turn out well, in about the half time of the oven too

That's what I usually do on the weekends. Nothing beats hot croissants with strawberry jam

Loving my AF400 that I bought on Prime day. I've done mainly jacket potatoes and marinated chicken so far and results have been excellent. I pre cook the potatoes in the microwave so the air fryer is just crisping up the skin, but even so they're really nice and fluffy.
