Laying claim to the first Christmas row ☹️

[Dowser]

There’s a stand off in the normally placid Dowsers household.
To be honest, this is picking up the threads of an unresolved row from last month.

Dh wants an air fryer.
I’ve said no, There’s no room in our modest kitchen for it and it’s like reinventing the wheel anyway.

He’s just asked for it for Christmas...😤

This one is going to rumble on ☹️

I had one, it was shit.

Really...I need to know more?

You could be my secret weapon sexnotgenger 😂

They smell and the food doesn’t taste good.

Oh I couldn't live without mine. I hardly use my oven now. I actually want another air fryer.

Mine is my favourite kitchen gadget and is used all the time.

Our air fryer is amazing. We use it almost every day. So it's worth the room if you use it regularly. We use our oven once a fortnight if that.

I love ours! The breville halo one is the best we've had, prefer it to the actifry

Cooks the best sausages!

Has he said why he wants one?

Oh god we've just had this row, it too rumbled on!
Dh wanted one, his parents bought one too big and asked if we wanted it. No I said as no room and I can't see the point.
Low and behold we get one for our anniversary off them I'm sure he had some th ing to do with it.
He put it on the bench so we had words as it's not a bloody ornament so he cleared a cupboard where it now lives.
Unfortunately it does ace chips on the occasion we have them !!

If he does a fair bit of cooking, why not?

Air fryers are great, I use one in my coffee shop for hash browns, sausages, garlic bread, chicken...pretty much anything!

We have just got one. Brilliant syn free chips!!!

I love mine, best gadget I've bought.

Hmmm...bit of foot tapping going on
I might have to cave

I love mine!
Used at least three times a week although we also have no room in the kitchen so its also a pain in the arse

Can you do chicken drumsticks with nice crispy skin?

Ghastly things, they just sit there emitting oily smells. Grim.

We don't really use oil in ours so it doesn't smell if oil. If we do it's a spoonful and doesn't smell. Not sure pp's experience of them smelling can be all brands.

I thought the idea was to not use any oil

What do I know..dh does the cooking

If dh does the cooking it doesn’t seem quite fair to say no!

Dowser I think you might have a very nice DH if he does the cooking and asks for something practical for Christmas. If any of my exPs had given me something of of that ilk, my having not asked for it, of course, they might have ended up in A&E.

We love ours, steaks in it turn out pretty nice and also scotch eggs, I don't use oil in ours so doesn't smell

I got rid of mine after it sat in the cupboard unused for 6 months.

Food tasted shit, it was MASSIVE and a faff to clean.

Complete waste of money - had one and used it probably 3 times - hoping that each time it might get better.
Did it hell...

Each time it chewed up the potatoes that were masquerading as chips into mangled, oily bits of shrivelled, pasty, inedible stringy nothingness.
No taste whatsoever as you couldn't even serve them never mind eat them.

Utter shite.
