Airfryer hobby

#Post

As cooking is my hobby along with other hobbies, I am keen to know what you cook in yours. As this is not a recipe section please only mention what you cook and I can go from there. Thanks.

Hi. Apart from frozen things like chips and pre-crumbed things, I've cooked sausages and chops and my friend (who hasn't a clue how to cook anything) swears by cooking his steak in an air fryer. I pretty much work on the principle of putting it on maximum setting and turning after 5 minutes for another 5 minutes. Works for me.

as far as Im concerned an air fryer is just an oven on fan bake, (I just got a replacement one today) so its good for crispying up macaroni cheese, lasagne etc, and finishing off baked spuds or hash browns.

I am thinking about getting one but hubby isn't so keen. Are they really that useful?

I love it...never use the oven but I am cooking for one. However my dil has only used hers once and hated it.

I have a bench top oven that is also an air fryer. It's ok as an air fryer. But my sister has an actual air fryer and there is no comparison between mine and hers, hers is fantastic at air frying.

Ours was a very expensive one which we use all the time except for the air fryer function because its the same as using it on roast function. I think because nothing rotates in it for chips etc.

Love the bench top oven but in no way is the air fryer function on it as good as my sisters air fryer

They are great if you're cooking for one. Mine is a Warehouse $99 one and for this price I love it.

I don't. The only gadgets I find useful are my breadmaker (to knead mainly, or sometimes to put on timer) and my pasta machine. Thats for ravioli....I don't like the shop stuff, hard, dry, tasteless lumps they are usually...
Oh and my blender...for pate mainly.
The rest, you can do with pots, baking dishes and an oven

Great for chips, chops, chicken, heating up hotcross buns, garlic bread etc, sausages. One of my best kitchen appliances. Mine is just a cheap one from a Briscoes Sale.

ive got a airfryer oven. Its smaller than microwave and yes its like a mini oven on fanback. I paid 235 included shipping. I have a rotisserie stick and a chip basket they both rotate. Ive made cakes, fried my chips, cooked chicken marinated wings, scones, roast chickens (they were crispy and moist). If you have a small household... and there is just myself and 15year old. This is awesome. Uses less power because smaller oven size and more efficient. I love the digital panel that i press for cakes, chips, chicken drumsticks etc and it set the temperature and time..and i can adjust both. Today I made a sicilian orange cake. Last week my sister visited and made three cakes. Its a no brainer. Great for a studio SC flat for visitors. Easy to clean. Saves money because it takes less time to heat the oven. I reheated lasagne squares from frozen (bought a bag - for snacks). Its very versatile. Just dont try watery or lightweight ingredients like trying to roast peanuts (they'll fly around) or trying to heat soups...will fly out.

One of my best buys. Ours is just a very basic one with a basket. Fantastic for chips, chops etc, and also a very quick way of heating hotcross buns etc. Takes only a few minutes, Takes up little bench space too.

Oh for the space to have - an air fryer, a breadmaker, a coffee machine.
