I didn’t see the point in air fryers (does literally the same as an oven and I already have two of those, plus it would mean losing more worktop space so I wasn’t keen to fork out hundreds for that). But then curiosity took over and I entered a competition for one and won, quite happy to trial it without the spend. Life changing is a stretch, the tumble dryer def winning on that front, but it has certainly made life easier. Healthier? No. Anyone who says it does is lying. It speeds up the cooking of mostly beige food so I can keep my children happy with a little bit longer in the park or if I’ve misjudged their hunger levels and therefore the timing of dinner. Most things can be whipped up in 10 mins or less, and when 10 minutes feels like a lifetime with moaning children around, plus factoring in a low cost per use as this happens a lot, I’d say they’re well worth it.
Thanks for sharing Claire - I am with you on the expense and counter top space - nuggets in 10 mins sounds an attractive prospect - but would also like to use it for non beige food - someone responded to my email this morning saying it's great for salmon too - and the lovely cleaning lady in my co-working space said she does a whole chicken in it! As you can see am doing a lot of research 😂
