I live alone, husband died 3 months ago. I am looking at all my outgoings now and realise I still use my oven and hob a lot to cook. I am wondering if an air fryer would be a cheaper and healthier option? Does anyone use one and if so any recommendations. There are so many! Any advice welcome.

I made a delicious pudding the other day.

Melt some butter in a bowl, ass sugar and cinnamon, then slice in bananas (one per portion - I made it up as I went along, so can't give other quantities, so just do it to taste).

Stir to coat the bananas throughly and air fry in a single layer until caramelised. Serve with ice cream.

That sounds delicious and I have 2 bananas that I need to use up!

We bought an air fryer earlier this week (a Breville from Lakeland Ltd), it has shelves, a rotisserie and a rotary basket. So far we've cooked roast potatoes, sausages, fish, chips, bacon and jacket potatoes. They all turned out very nicely cooked and tasty. In fact the jacket potatoes were the crispest & fluffiest I've ever had! It's early days but it's fun experimenting.
