Air Fryers

[johnnyboy]

Mrs JB got the mega drawer Ninja at Christmas and is absolutely smitten.  It can be used as two independent drawer zones or as one single gigantic drawer that you could fit a small ox in.  My mum has since picked the same one up too.

I'm still using one of these old school halogen types and the bulb blew out once but I managed to diy another for a tenner, I have noticed that companies are now cheekily calling them air fryers..

Wonderful.

We got one of the big Ninjas a couple of years ago as an all-in-one answer to our cluttered appliances. We found it such a chore to be constantly deep-cleaning between every cook that it eventually just sat there as an air-fryer. We ended up just buying a cheap rice cooker which cooks rice better than the Ninja did anyway.

On the flip side we upgraded our Airfryer to a larger oven style Airfryer when our proper oven broke and 2 years later still haven’t replaced our big oven. HOWEVER, I find the Ninja ones pretty awful. The non stick coating is false advertising and almost impossible to clean properly, so did my research when we bought our next one.

Without wanting to turn this into an Air Fryer~! discussion, what did you go for? Mrs Hallicks is jonesing for a double to replace our single

I've got the ninja double and use it every day and have never had any issues cleaning it.

My mum is an air fryer denier. I've broached the subject a number of times but she will not even talk about it now.

I have so many air fryers it's mental. And I use them all. I used to find cooking for other people stressful but I love it now.

Got the ninja large grill, which is just a big fuck off airfryer, and the ninja 15 in one which can also be used as an airfryer.  Love’em both.  Been using air fryers of one form or another for over 20 years.

You can buy the disposable air fryer liners so you don’t have to clean them every time. Game changer.

You need to clean the sides and elements still.

My old air fryer was difficult to clean so used them but it meant things didn't cook as well. Last week we got a ninja double max and it's just piss easy to clean.

Aldi have a tiny little thing for 16 quid right now, I use an old school halogen oven myself but I'm tempted to just grab one of these to compare and have what could be a back up either way. Any one used one of these?
