Does anyone on the forum use an air fryer? I’ve heard they’re brilliant? There’s some online for £20 – £400. Also read they can save you money?? Before I consider buying one would like some more opinions on anyone who’s got/ used one. Thanks

I tried a boiled egg in the air fryer. It was perfect! I heated it up to 150c for 4 minutes and then put the egg in for 11 minutes at 150c. I dropped it into a cereal bowl with cold water just to take the heat of the shell then peeled it. Was very easy to peel. The yolk was just shy of hard boiled with a slight sheen on. When I do it again I think I’ll try 10 mins.

No more pans of boiling water for me, air fryer boiled eggs are the future.

Sorted Jojoe, think 10 mins sounds about right on your settings then..???

I’ve just watched the YouTube video for the bacon and egg on toast, looks good, I’ll try and give it a go at the weekend and report back.

Saw a few on there Marc..

Like the look of this too

[ajn]

Out early this morning shopping for our stew ingredients, in Asda saw this £38..

Didn’t get it as that’s the aging type we have already, however 2year guarantee, might do maybe a couple or single person, work ok for us…

Couldn’t wait for the weekend and tried the bacon and egg on toast this morning.

1 slice of bread, 3 rashers of streaky bacon arranged in a ring on the bread, crack 1 egg in the middle of the bacon and season with black pepper, I think the pepper was a mistake.

Air fry for 10 min at 180C as per the YouTube video, not enough so did another 2 mins, it was very  nice indeed, it had 12 mins in total but could probably have done with 15 min.

I’d normally grill the bacon, use the hob to fry the egg and the toaster to do the toast, it’s got to be cheaper and given there in no butter on the toast and the egg is not fried it must be healthier, also hardly any washing up.

think i would just do it on hob tbh. especially as ive a induction one. i’d do toast as french style, dipped in a beaten egg and lightly fried. i sometimes make it as a sarnie and put cheese in it.. bacon done first so i get seasoning to french toast. fried egg on top at last minute.

still its interesting that it did work

Slightly longer for me please Marc?, however it’s great you enjoyed it, can’t fault how eager you are trying it out too..

[Marc]

Yes it needs longer it’s going to be a learning curve from here, the bread was nice an crisp but needs longer to brown off also the bacon needed longer. It was very tasty though also easy and convenient to make.

Just heard an advert for Lidl, they have Daewoo 4L air fryer for £39.99. Think they are in store Monday. Best to reserve one now if you want one.

Looks nice 🙂

So after missing out on the Aldi Ninja dupe. I searched for the Ninja maxi @joss has for £229, but to no avail as they are all out of stock. After much deliberating I have made the executive decission based on @Struth recomendation of the the brand I have ordered a Sage oven/air fryer £299 🙂

https://www.sageappliances.com/uk/en/products/ovens/bov860.html

I am thinking I would use it alot more and retire my main oven other than using it at Xmas if needed.

[joss]

Looks ok that kezo. Pass me a chip butty please, with salt n vinegar. Malt mind.

Will do @joss when it arrives 🙂

It will save my back as my oven is a built under and I have to get on the floor and then struggle to get back up again. Its does alot more on top of been an air fryer. I just hope its equally as good as individual appliances.

Just picked this up, unopened, unused, still available guarantee £60..

Mrs aj still tempted with the struth/kezo  sage thing, she says they’re great..

Have you a link for that please @£60 could get my daughter one

[ajn]

I bought it off gumtree kezo, a chap bought it for his Son, who didn’t seem to want it, he explained he would rather hand it over to someone who would use it, rather than it going to waste, if Mrs aj don’t want it my Son or Daughter can have it, bargin £60, I noticed it while looking for something else on the site..

Yes it’s the bargain of the century at that price.

I’m still waiting for the sage smart oven air fryer to come 5-8days direct from sage. It does a lot more than just air fry and hoping it will be used more than the main oven.

[ajn]

Seems we’re keeping it at our home, Mrs aj did some research on it says it’s a huge improvement on our older ones..

still using my old foodi. had it over 3 years, maybe more.  on my second internal pot tho as the old one got ruined by me when i let it boil dry doh!  still it was nearly done anyway with scratches etc. i had bought an accessory set(from ninja) which included a spare pot so it had been sitting for years doing nowt. i use it most days still and was a great buy considering its use

The basket on my Ninja is proper manky, two years of built on grease, no matter how much I try, I just can’t get it clean. I’m going to have to buy a new one for £20.
