Air fryers

[chroniclard]

There does seem to be a bit of overbuying going on. (That's the Radio 4 term for panic buying)

Yeah I was going to get a big ninja but no stock of those models. Seems to be loads on ebay but not buying from there and some scalping too!

I've taken the plunge and got a cheap Tower 4L air fryer from Argos. It will be cheaper than turning on my fan oven, though I'll probably just use it for cooking frozen chips. I am intrigued about what it can be used for though.

It's essentially an oven so you can make everything that an oven can make. I have....made

Chinese style pork belly.



Cookies



A very small loaf of bread.





Wings

The cookies and bread stuff is OK, but I've got other preferred methods of doing those.

Wings are the cliche air fryer recipe, but the pork belly looks lush.

I have a Tower Air Fryer and it’s great tbh. It’s well made and has never missed a beat. 3 year warranty too.

I have the model with the rotisserie which is amazing for chicken

Only negative is the control panel beeps which cannot be silenced. Does my head in if having to enter a manual time and temp setting.

Pork belly and leg joint are my two favs for the air fryer.

We're doing our first roast chicken tomorrow. So far not missed our oven one bit.

Sausages 12 minutes at 200c, 15 if you like a bit of char like a BBQ.

A few to be getting on with.

I made some scones in mine today, they were ace, first time I have done them. Do lots of other pastries though including pain au chocolate and croissants, its nailing the temps and cooking time, it is so much faster than an oven. I make them in semi-bulk and freeze them and bake them when I am in the mood.

Took the plunge and ordered the Cosori off Amazon. Looking forward to trying it out next week!

Keralan Beef & roti flatbreads done in the Ninja.

doing a 1kg beef roasting joint in the ninja, is it better to air fry it or use the roast function with the temp probe set for med rare ?

I personally do mine on roast + probe, but cannot see any reason why probe + air fry wouldn't work.

thanks would you sear it first too ?

No done that yet in all the times I've done joints and they've all come out fine, including those I've smothered in rub.

 

[teenwolf]

Looks good and something I would use.

Are you going to add all the spuds and roots into the same pan and cook together in the Ninja?

Picked up a ninja 15 in 1 yesterday. Seems an impressive bit of kit. Only done a cheese toastie, rice and a bit of bacon so far to give it a bit of a test, but have a roast beef with veggies to be done today/tomorrow.
