The Great Air Fryer Thread

We don’t use this inside. Stinks the house out. So easy to have on the side of the BBQ though.

We use it a lot. I was gobsmacked at how good it was.

I told a porkie...My air frier is a a 5L.....Sorry.

Mine has the dials for the timer and heat range.

I got mine from K-mart for $50 ish around about 3 years ago.....It's made my Smith and Nobel

I use it at least 5 days per week for the wife and myself.....

Having the dials suits me....Saves so much of this touch screen crap....ie less to go wrong

Price was a bonus, with me being a cheap skate...

This is similar to mine, with the exception of price and manufacturer

I found if I put a little bit of oil on the meat when cooking with mine, it smoked the house out.....Learnt real quick not to do that...

I use mine to reheat KFC sometimes and it will smoke the house out if I run the temp too high. I go for 160 degrees if Im reheating KFC.

Haven't tried reheating things with mine...It's for cooking....Left overs go to the dog....

Temps I use are between 160 and 180

My son bought me a Phillips air fryer for Chrissie a couple of years ago, best present ever.
Toss up between the air fryer and espresso machine as which gets used the most.

We have this twin draw type, we don't do roasts as one of our roasts would never fit. Not sure what the boss paid for it unfortunately.

Looked at that one. The photo makes the drawers larger than they are.

It appears like I am the air fryer odd one out. Really only wanted it for pies, pizza, chips .............ie : yellow food.
As I reminded the missus, I am the maitre de chef of the family, and have a $2.5k BBQ that gets a work-out nearly every day, rain, wind or sunshine.
The grease and crap that comes off the meat ........... I would not like that on anything that can't be cleaned with a Karcher.
Don't mind a lamb roast, but the smell the next day just turns my stomach. An indoor oven would have to be binned and replaced.

Chucking out 20 year old serviceable oven and cooktop is not environmentally friendly ............. but I am not on a vigil to save the world.
Anyhow, hope she is satisfied with her new toy, which has an airfryer shelf and setting.

You can buy silicone inserts for the air fryers. Makes cleaning up even easier.

Perfect for that!
