deathrey Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 Any recommendations for air fryers? It's been on my wanted list for a while and I'm thinking of finally getting one in the Christmas sales. I always end up a bit bamboozled by the choice. Quote

My husband has been going on and on about the Ninja Foodi, he has seen it on TV and is a sucker for advertising so I wasn't sure it was actually that good or if it was hype. I'll watch the video, thanks. Any other recommendations are welcome. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 13, 2020 Moderators Posted December 13, 2020 What do you want to make and how much kitchen counter / storage space do you have? Quote
poetofthedeed Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I've got a generic lidl air fryer and it's genuinely changed my life, it's everything a george foreman claims to be but with moisture and flavour Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted December 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 14, 2020 We have a MO Health Goodmans air fryer. It makes great chips. Quote

I am scared of deep fat fryers so making chips in it will be the main thing for me, my husband will probably use it for things like chicken wings. We have a large island in the kitchen which I could put it on but personally prefer to put stuff in the cupboards where I can. Edited December 14, 2020 by deathrey Quote
deathrey Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 @johnnyboyoh that's interesting to know and would probably sway me away from the Ninja Foodi. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 14, 2020 Moderators Posted December 14, 2020 The Phillips is reasonably compact and we can stash it away quite easily when not using it. PS super jealous that your island has power sockets, deathrey.. Quote

PS super jealous that your island has power sockets, deathrey.. Any particular model of Phillip's? My husband actually designed the island himself, the sockets are quite clever and when not in use, push in to the island and are flush against the surface. Currently everything is covered in baby formula and a total mess so nothing to be jealous of! Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 14, 2020 Moderators Posted December 14, 2020 Just having a little look online and I don't think they even make the one I have anymore.. It's been a while since I bought it so I don't really feel qualified to make a recommendation. I'd just say that having a big capacity is very useful so try to get the biggest size one that you can comfortably accommodate - even if you're not doing really big volumes of food the more space stuff has in there the better it'll cook.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted December 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 14, 2020 I had an actifryer that was ok, a Phillips that was excellent, and have got a ninja now that is awesome. It’s not the foodi due to the aforementioned lid erection, but it’s a great fryer. Just reheated a maccys apple pie in 6 minutes and it’s crisp as hell. Quote
deathrey Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I finally ordered myself an airfryer. I went with your recommendation @Thunderplexafter looking at reviews and got a Ninja Airfryer. It was in the sales and will hopefully arrive in the next few days. Thank you all for your recommendations Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted December 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 29, 2020 Pleasure. Quick tip, oven chips cook great in it, but cook amazing in it if they have been out of the freezer for a couple of hours first. Enjoy playing with it. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted January 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2021 After eating a stupid amount of cheese, meat, pastry and other stuff over xmas, I though it was time to cook from fresh again. I’m in the middle of cooking a Dal, a sweet & normal potato curry, and knocked up another Mexican style coleslaw. All separate meals to dip in to over the next week. The coleslaw is a great additional filler for wraps rather than a standard salad to go with meat, fish, or on its own to be fair. All 3 are very easy, full of goodness, can accompany other food or as stand alone. Nice to get past the Christmas fat fest to be honest. Quote

Also while I'm here who was it that made Huevos Rancheros? Was it @Chest Rockwell? What's ur recipe? Quote
