Air fryer

Anyone use one ?
Do they work and does the food taste as good. Always thought the food looks dry and cardboardish when I have seen it on tv.
Mrs is pushing for one . Are they any good and worth buying?
 
My experience with them is I don't like them. I definitely noticed a difference in favour for the worst.

Why exactly is she after one?
 
Use it all the time, as I speak there are four fish fingers in mine to make a sarnie. Probably use ours as much as the microwave. Philips
 
We've got a Ninja XL Grill ... Air fryer, roasts, grills etc. The best thing we have in the kitchen. It has a probe so your steak, chicken or fish comes out perfect everytime.
 
I have one, we use it for all sorts it tastes better than oven cooking, but not as good as proper frying, but its quick and easy to use and healthier than deep or shallow frying .
 
I've experimented with the chips and I have a method that works for me - in fact the whole family love them.
Wash & brush potatoes and then cut into whatever length * 1cm * 1cm with skins on where they remain and put in a bowl
Now add to that bowl, toasted sesame seed oil and shake - ensure you have enough so that all of the chips have a thin coat of that oil
Add a little pepper and shake again to season all of the chips, leave for around 430-60 mins to allow oil to permeate
Cook on full power for 20-25 mins until the chips start to soften, then add a little maldon salt and shake again then cook until browned

Delicious!

I’ve recently replaced a well used Actifry with a Ninja Foodi and it’s miles better. It’s not just an air fryer, it’s a pressure cooker, a steamer, a rice cooker, a sauté pan, a grill, an oven and will even turn milk into homemade yoghurt on one setting. The only thing I haven’t been able to make as good as the proper deep fried version in it is chips, but they’re still much better than oven chips and far better for you.
 
Got a Phillips. Great for beige food. Fish fingers etc. Tried chips, fairly uninspiring, much prefer to par boil then oven. Pain in the **** to clean.
