My daughter keeps on and on at me to purchase one! I really don’t see the benefit of them. Please tell me your opinions. Thank you.

I bought a small, single basket one from Argos during lockdown - a cheap one, as unsure if I’d find it useful. But it’s been in almost daily use. I never use the oven now - too expensive. We don’t have a dishwasher, but the basket is easy to clean, with hot soapy water.

That looks neat and compact, LucyAnna2.

I'll be swayed the other way if you say it's marvellous.

Well, as I say, it’s in almost daily use, and is cheap to run and easily cleaned. It’s not taking up too much room on the worktop, where it sits.
We’re vegetarian, and I use it for ‘roasted’ (light spray of oil) veg (courgette, peppers, new potatoes, etc), cheese and fruit scones, veggie burgers, etc.

I've another question...

Can I come for dinner, please? smile

Of course, I’ll lay an extra place grin. Greek salad (tomatoes from the allotment) tonight, with sweet potato fries.

Tomatoes are in my top most delicious foods.
Epecially home grown ones.

They're like eating sweets.

I have heard that said about the Ninja fryer lids before (the round ones with the lid connected to the body), but I don’t have one like that, so, as I say, find cleaning it no problem at all. The drawers pull right out to be cleaned.
