What items did you buy in 2023 that you will now never want to live without?

Interested to know about everything be it luxury or mundane
I was late to the game but now use my air fryer daily. I also love my earbuds.

Oh, ok! Thank you!

@IClaudine no problem!

my airfryer was the result of staying up too late, drinking too much, and being hooked in by an infomercial after the programmes on the food network finished.
it sat there in a huge box in the corner of the living room for a month. then we made a space for it in the kitchen, and it sat there for a few more weeks. then we got round to trying it out. and we LOVE it. wouldn't be without it now. even if you're only having frozen beige for dinner, it comes out MUCH nicer than the oven. and things like chicken done in it are incredible. so juicy and tender, with a perfect crisp skin.

@shoutinginasoundproofedroom Absolutely bloody brilliant. You can buy a rotating basket that goes on the rotisserie that does chips-crisps them up and all the oil falls at the bottom

I have a similar model, mine came with the rotating basket, BUT I also bought a kebab set that you can use with the rotisserie rod. Got it off Amazon and it was ‘universal’, could be used with any of these air fry ovens that have a rotisserie rod. Holds 10 kebabs from memory and gives metal sticks so you can make your own kebabs. They come out brilliantly.

If anyone is looking for a small dishwasher I'd highly recommend this one

I've had mine for about a month and absolutely love it. It can be plumbed in but I just have mine next to my sink so it drains and is easy to fill (has a water tank).

Please tell me you air fryer recommendations!

@Trixiefirecracker I have the Ninja Air Fryer Max 5.2 L I love it but really wish I'd bought the duel one!

Thank you. I’ll look that one up!

Gets the Max Grill to add to your collection, amazing!

I've got a power xl air fryer cooker from high street tv. it's a bit different from most, because it has mesh trays, rather than baskets, and various versatile attachments, like a rotisserie spike, kebab rotisserie, rotisserie basket for veg and nuts and the like, and so on. it means you don't normally have to stop halfway and shake things up, as there is a lot of exposed area. I love it. if we're doing something messy, I use things like sandwich cake trays, silicone trays etc. that fit in it.
it has a crazy amount of different settings, is easy to use, and everything comes out gorgeous
