So you have an air fryer ?

It seems that this country has gone air fryer crazy over the past few months. I had never really thought about having one until my lovely partner asked if I wanted one for Christmas. I thought about it and we had a look around and I researched cooking, recipes etc, and decided that I would have one ... Well, I have never looked back. I only really use my oven now for baking cakes. Everything else is done in the air fryer. I had a good one, a Ninja duel. I absolutely love it.... What is your opinion of them ?:

I bought one, tried a few recipes and brought it back. I really love to cook and I love my big oven.

I thought I might try it out when I have to cook for Vince after his operation but if you didn't like it either, I will feel happier if I don't get along with it either.

@JudyEv - I tried to make French fries in the air fryer, my husband told me to do things "the classic way" or to renounce to make it. I have to say that I fully agreed with him. The space inside a air fryer is ridiculously small, if you have a convection oven it's like a very large air fryer that makes a much better job.

@LadyDuck Ours is a convection oven so perhaps I'll leave it where it is or give it away one day.

We have one but Vince never really got the hang of it. He does nearly all our cooking.

I like mine and find it quite versatile. It is expecting handy now that my oven is on the fritz. I always tend to use it a lot in the summer months though..as it is really too hot to heat up the house with the oven.

My husband and I don't really have a large enough kitchen to house a lot of cooking gagets. Most things that can be fried, can be baked. For years, I've been using our oven in lou of frying anything. All that oil never sat very well on my stomach, anyway.

I have one too and its the most practical if not the most useful small kitchen appliance I own right now.

I don't have one because I am using an electric oven. We can cook everything using the electric oven. Do we cook faster if we use an air fryer?

I agree. The oven is used a lot less now.
