Paid Members Dead Mike Posted September 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 Â I'm still using the air fryer I bought about a year ago pretty regularly! Â I was looking at them a couple of months ago, I fear I'll only use it for chicken wings tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 23, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2016 90% of the time I use it is for chicken wings. But I really like chicken wings, so it still gets used loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited)  In other news, I bought a stove top waffle iron yesterday. Fucking great stuff. Nice and small so it doesn't take up loads of room like an electric one would and only £16 on Amazon!  In 3 weeks that'll be in the cupboard next to your doughnut maker, ice cream machine & Hulk Hogan ultimate grill.I had the hulk hogan ultimate grill, quite good until it set on fire.

cobra_gordo Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Cooking related.. We are getting a new kitchen fitted. Due to the layout and size of the room, we have determined that we will get best use of space with a 90-100cm wide range cooker. Does anyone have any experience / tips to help with this? Are Smeg / Rangemaster all that or are you just buying a name? I've only read bad things about customer service for Smeg. What brands are good?  We've had a Rangemaster for about 6 months and we love it. Really good quality and well worth the money we paid for it. We use both ovens at the same time for Sunday roasts and it makes life so much easier. Also, the wok ring gets more use than anything else. Not had to deal with the customer service side of things with Rangemaster directly but Currys who delivered it off were a complete nightmare.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 23, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2016 Cool, thanks bud. I think miele are fantastic, generally and would always consider them a top brand. My wife is keen to have one that looks all fancy pants as it will be such a large feature of the room, and the rangemaster does look great, let's face it. Â I think we'll see what the total costs come out looking like once we've chosen our granite and cabinets, but I think we'd probably go for that if it's still in budget. If you have a spare half hour go visit the Miele showroom off Oxford Circus. Incredible sums of money on display. Some of the installations are as much as HR Owen's down the road.

Kamaras-Tash Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Are there any decent deals on air fryers at the minute? the type what you can cook fresh chips in. Not had homemade chips in forever as my deep fat fryer stinks the house out even when cleaned and with fresh oil in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 Tesco seem to drop the actifry down to less than £100 on the run up to Christmas. Use mine every 2 or 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted October 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I'm feeling unreasonably sorry for myself because my holiday is over, I'm unable to visit any friends this evening and I'm poor due to said holiday, so I'm engaging in food therapy and running down my freezer.  It's cold where I am, so going to do a mushroom and blue cheese risotto, using rosemary and thyme as the main herbs. Also going to do some garlic and herb chicken thighs for added protein along with a few calabrese and oven roasted cherry tomatoes for added veg content.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted October 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2016 Your! Â On a slight health Kick, so had courgettie carbonara for tea. Had it last week but the courgettie really watered the sauce down. Salted and pressed it this week, and it was not watery in the slightest, just way too salty. Must rinse it off next weeek.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted October 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I think I've turned the corner of courgette, I still don't adore it, but have actually had some dishes with it in recently that make me think it's not the slightly less shonky cousin of aubergine. Â Got some cod loins out tonight (got an absolute ton of these on reduction recently), any bright ideas always appreciated (particularly from you 'Plex), but thinking I'll probably just do them simply with some olives and sundried tomatoes at present. Â Boston spoiled me for seafood though. Had a sea bass tartare with truffles and it was one of the best starters I have ever had. This in addition to the bounty of delicious crab, lobster and scallops you seem to get everywhere. Loved it!

Keith Houchen Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Poach a cod loin in a tomato and basil sauce and serve it with some roast veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
