Yes, thank you Pittcity 😊

I fully agree Blondiescot.

I agree Blondiescot. The first thing I made in mine was a sausage casserole.

I would not suggest that those using airfryers are not cooking, and I do not think anyone else has, but if you google anything to do with cooking times for airfryers, it always consists of a list of lumps of food and how long it takes to cook them.

I think casseroles, stews, risottos, benefit from long slow cooking. I put a venison stew in my slow cooker this morning and then went out for most of the morning. It slowly cooked for 4 hours and was dwkicious, As I said it is not a question of either or, I hve both, but I use the slow cooker more,

Mine has a slow cooker function too.

Daughter has an air fryer, uses it often for things like potato wedges and roasted veg, fits her diet plan. Easy, fast, and economical to use, she says. She looks at video on the internet for uses (I asked).

I use Pinterest for recipes. They can be anything from 3 ingredients to a dozen or so. I bought a little pot with a base which fits neatly inside my air fryer, keeping it cleaner and also able to cook "wet" foods with gravy.

I live on my own, I do not like the food being kept warm so I try to work out that everything is cooked at once. I am no chef so that could be a couple of sausages with corn on the cob and French fries in the air fryer with eg mushrooms, onions and other vegetables cooked on the hob.

Took delivery of my Air Fryer a couple of days ago. Used it for the first time, cooked sausages and baked potatoes at the same time. They were lovely, and much quicker that using the main oven.

Will try a small chicken at the weekend. Really it is just a mini oven, so most things cooked in the main oven you can cook in the Air Fryer.

Apologies Abitbarmy I didn't read the link properly the first time I read it. (How on earth did you find it?) That's enormously helpful.
Now all I need to do is persuade DH to print it off for me. I don't have a printer but he has one in his office.

I would have a problem with a air fryer that was also a slow cooker because I often use both at once.

For people worried about what you can or can't cook in an Air Fryer, look on You Tube, and search for 'Butler's Empire'.

The couple are very watchable and show how you can cook almost anything from Steaks to Yorkshire puddings. All from scratch.
They use the Ninja AF400 , dual drawer, and a Cosori.
I have found their hints and tips useful, even though I now have a Tower Vortex, with a front opening door.
