I wondered whether to add this onto the thoughts about my air fryer thread. I bought mine on recommendation from somebody on GransNet and it’s been a real bonus.
The first thing to remember, is that it isn’t really a fryer.
Having watched the program tonight comparing sizes prices and then cooking times against an electric cooker, I’m even happier. They judged three cookers on the state of chips and small cakes. On that basis, there wasn’t much difference between a cheap one and more expensive one more expensive ones, obviously have different functions and greater capacity.
According to the program, the microwave is cheapest to run, the air fryer next, the slow cooker next, then obviously the full-size electric cooker.
The biggest surprise? I’d never have thought of cooking doughnuts in an air fryer, but they look good and so many fewer calories, it was unbelievable.
I’d still only eat one at any one time though.
