I have a small Air Fryer, from Aldi and I am trying to find more ways to use it.
Tonight I successfully cooked a quiche, from frozen in 20 mins at 180°, so am pleased with myself.

There have been a number of threads about air fryers -

I have a Tower one which was about £45 and has proved very useful since purchase - good for roast potatoes, mixed veg, chips (for GC), sausages, burgers, etc

Sago, I've just bought an 11 in 1. Do you recommend any particular website for recipes? I've googled but as always there's far too much choice! And the instant pot website is a bit difficult to navigate.

I got an air frost for my birthday

I’m loving it.

That said, I have almost all the gadgets

I have an Air Fryer and an Instant Pot out of the two I think the Instant Pot is the winner you can cook most casseroles/curries in 8 mins. I try to cook one pot meals.

I have a Ninja air fryer on order. It was highly discounted. I am not sure how I am going to utilise it. As I am vegetarian and my DH is a confirmed meat eater. However I am looking forward to the challenge.

I’m a convert. Love my Ninja AF 400. Only restriction is the size of dish/pan you can get into the drawers when doing certain dishes. You can do anything that you do in an oven.

I have an 11/1 Instant Pot it air fries, grills, pressure cooks, bakes etc etc.
I barely use my oven.

Trying to cut down on using my oven so much and obviously saving energy and the cost. I use my small oven most of the time unless family visit.
I have a microwave and electric steamer and grill which are also used on a regular basis.
I've seen Air fryer adverts but don't know anyone who uses one. Just wondered how they compare against my regular appliances, can anyone recommend buying this appliance.
