Oh my sweet potato fries were successful, so I reckon if I can do it……….

I drizzled in oil and sea salt flakes before cooking and kept a firm eye on them.

Bought one recently. Used frequently by DD for warming croissants, saves heating the oven. Homemade chicken nuggets for DGC were a great success. Homemade sweet potato fries not so much! I bought the dual basket for flexibility.

Tips are useful, as I have thought it would be most useful for hot pots, casseroles, stews and stuff like that.

I have cooked a whole chicken in mine and it was successful. It is also very good for oven chips but I find it difficult to cook a whole meal in it. It is much easier with the oven and hob as I like things ready at the same time.
Also the slow cooker is not very efficient and unless you heat it up first it will not cook.

Oh I will be interested to read this thread.

I bought one recently and my first effort resulted in burnt broccoli and peppers.

But I’m getting better I think.

I did do a piece of roast beef which was not really more than ok .

It wasn’t nearly as tender not had the depth of flavour I usually get by roasting in the oven.

I will keep persevering as it has to earn its keep.

I don’t know if this has already been posted but yesterday I cooked one petit pain in the airfryer as an experiment and it was fine.
I do like one for lunch with soup or ham and cheese but thought the oven was expensive to use just for one.
I put it on for 8mins but checked after 6 and it was crispy and golden.
I am trying to adapt as much as I can from using the oven.
