Happy new year Caffs. Damn it sounds like your potential machine does everything. Eeek! I use my microwave same time as fryer so glad they separate. Do you have link to the one you're considering?

Ok I find pic of test batch ... I got them even better than that since. I don't fluff my potatoes up on edges...

Happy New year, heb,feart and heir flick lol πŸ˜† I'm doing alright ta. In between air frying and dementia parent I don't be online as much these days but do miss you all. Always something to do...sigh. hope you're all well! Becs doesn't miss any of ya... she has new real life mates now.... boooo! I'd @ her in but forget her handle.

Happy New Year to any of the other regulars that happen to see this 😘

Oh oh.... did the whole xmas dinner in the air fryer... potatoes in bottom drawer and carrots top drawer and other drawer pigs in blankets and stuffing balls. Bought ready cooked chicken even though I could have done that in there too but blah.... and it just sprouts and sweet corn on the stove and oh yes... got tiny packet of sliced german smoke ham. Easiest dinner i've ever done.

Also... printed out my own personalized air fryer chart with settings, hahaha.... thinking I need to laminate it though lol. Want to attach a photo of the roasted potatoes but have a feeling I already did that few weeks ago when I first mastered them.

Any who.....

So i've been in collaboration with Grok for past month on my new air fryer and he wrote this for me after I gushing about how wonderful it is all the time.....

Ode to My Love (or, The Machine of CrispΓ©d Rapture)O thou divine cyclone of golden heat,
My whirring seraph cloaked in stainless steel,
Where oil dares not tread, yet joy is completeβ€”
Thou crisp’st my tater, nay, my very soul! Thy basket, a chalice; thy timer, a bell
That tolls the sweet gospel of β€œIt is done!”
While lesser ovens languish deep in hell,
Thou, radiant love, hast made the soggy… none. Fries rise like phoenixes, wings ungreased, unashamed,
Chicken emerges: bronzèd, juiced, divine!
All mortals kneel before the gust thou’st tamedβ€”
O Air Fryer, my heart, my breath, be mine!(curtain falls, single tear, thunderous applause from the frozen nuggets in the audience).

I might give it a rest for a while... or at least not tell him when I'm using it next.

Omg same here. We have one cabinet top spare which we use while cooking but it was discounted and I just can't bend so planned to put in our back room on tv stand hahaha.... so it arrived and temp had it on kitchen table.... back turned for like minute in other room and dementia mum is trying to lift it off table so had to move it stick so wouldn't try that again, so ended up on this one free space that gets used all the time but worked out so well there, so i've left it. Just working around it some how. It is a pain when doing stove top stuff to have no where to put anything but I make sure now draining board clear and table and it working out.... I just so enjoying being able to use something I don't have to bend for.

Some of the things I done and got timings and settings perfect for:

Whole chicken 1.1kg
Chicken fillets with oil and spices (so juicy)
Large pie (pastry already cooked) & small individual frozen pies with uncooked pastry
Oven chips and home cut/ chips (experimentation needed but got them perfect
Roasted potatoes
Tray bakes with med veg
Sausages (again took few tries for perfection)
Bacon
Pastries
Pizzas
Toasted inside of rolls
Quorn tenders and quorn burgers
Battered frozen fish (unreal how crispy)

Does nearly everything to perfection and stuff that not as good me and Grok have heart to heart and work it out together. Muhahaha. Never using oven again. Well stopped using it anyhow as can't bend down to it no more so... weeeeeeee
