Before Christmas loads of posters were asking about Air Fryers. Those of you who took the plunge, What is the verdict. Successes and failures. Which one did you buy and what did you cook?

I love my air fryer 😍 😍 😍 😍

I have the ninja flex, so can be two small or one large basket..

I cooked the roast parsnips and carrots, the Quorn roast, the pigs in blankets AND finished off the roasties in there.

Didn't have room in the oven for everything, so it saves the day.

My friend who swore they were a waste of money is a first time user. She has spent half an hour raving about hers. What she cooked and what she is cooking for the next week.

Not a newbie but we did all the meat in it as usual, oven for the sides. Ninja 15 in 1 here.

Ours came Christmas Eve. Tefal.
Didn't do the dinner yesterday so only gave it a go for brunch. Cooked pastries beautifully as well as hash browns and mushrooms. Impressed so far.

I bought a two drawer Ninja one recently. Love it. Would highly recommend.

They did the roasties superbly. The vegan pigs in blankets were a bit dry but I don’t think that was the air fryer’s fault.

I did roasted carrots and sprouts in ours. Delicious and ready in ten minutes.

DS did pigs in blankets in it.

I also used it to warm up pre-cooked stuffing balls and frozen Yorkshire puddings.

We were only cooking for 3 this year, but it would wonderfully ease the pressure on oven space when cooking for more.
