Air fryer - what is it and do I need one?

[tubspreciousthings]

Sorry if this has been asked before - I saw them listed as things that have made life easier. What do you use yours for?

Chips.
They make awesome chips. Probably other stuff too but we only really use our for potato type stuff.

I can't get on with mine - it's like a glorified hairdryer and takes forever to burn one side and uncooked on the other.

I'll keep an eye on this one because I've used mine about three times ever when I was on Slimming World. Thinking of selling it!

love mine.
most used gadget in our house.
Philips airfryer
usual stuff like chips, sausages. bacon
fish fingers etc garlic bread
but I also roast veg for soup. crisp baked pots toasties. loads of things

Mines actuary not air fryer actually. We had an air fryer and it was shit.

is a halogen an air fryer?

I have an actifry and use it a couple of times a week - anything I want crispy I chuck in there - Fish Fingers, Sweet Potato Chips, Falafel, Onion Rings, Chicken Tikka, Lamb Koftas etc. Would recommend!

I love ours! We use it for anything potato..chips, wedges etc, sausages, chicken etc...I don't you do need to shake our every 5ish min to get a good even crispness

I have an actifry. Makes great chips. I parboil little potatoes with the skins on and then chuck them in the actifry with a little spray oil. Also do parsnips in it.

I love ours. We use it for veg, homemade chips, fish fingers and chicken breasts. I found it good at Christmas for freeing up oven space, and in general its quicker than our oven.
