AIBU to jump on the bandwagon and finally get a dual zone air frier? Or was it all a buzz for nothing and shall I stick with my normal oven?

I’ve had the Salter one for nearly 4 years and it’s brilliant. I use it most days and barely use my oven now.

Meh, just another gadget that I forget to use!
I can't BEAR 'stuff' out on the worktops!

We have the big flexi drawer one and it's been very useful, particularly for impatient teens to rustle u a quick meal. For a while I was quite precious about cleaning it and keeping it looking nice, now I just stick it in the dishwasher. Having had it for a good while though I'm finding that I'm using the oven more at the moment and I don't know why it's changing

I don’t have one and look from time to
time thinking perhaps I should buy one but can never work
out what I would use it for?

The same things you'd put in an oven, under the grill or griddled, but it does it quicker, and often more nicely cooked.

I suppose if you live on stir fry, omelette, soup and salad, you'd not get much use out of it, but otherwise, loads of stuff.

I made a Mumsnet inspired warm salad in ours today. Roasted some veg, added a can of corn and some chick peas to heat through, then added dressing, feta and herbs.

We bought one after finally realising my lifelong dream of getting an Aga (which I absolutely love so so so much in the autumn winter and spring but is like a furnace in the summer so off it goes)

Have a two drawer one and it’s very handy and the teens use it a lot.

it’s big and ugly though

I went for ninja flex drawer. As perfect if I want to bake. Love option two seperate sides. I use silicone trays as much easier to clean

But even the large air fryers don’t look big enough for a tray of
roasted veg or a chicken

My double drawer can fit a chicken in one side and potatoes in the other.

Except for Christmas day I have not used an oven for 8 years. This coincides with getting my ninja 15 in 1. What are you waiting for?
