Friend with dementia.
She doesn't cook but heats food - quiche, pies,
She'd love bacon and also chips.
I could write down for her but she wouldn't accept this .
I've looked on Amazon and have recieved one simple flip book but it's so American
I know she'd reject it .
Anyone found anything ?

The only thing I've found is the guide that came with my AF.
I've been looking for FB groups etc, but as you say they are all so American - temperatures, measurements and lack of healthy unprocessed ingredients.

This is the guide I got - the charts in it are really good. If you search the ninja site you should find the manual for the AF your friend has.

If the issue is your friend not trusting hand written notes then type out and print instructions yourself, laminate it and tell her it came with the airfryer.

Although this is perfect ☝️

Don't they come with instructions and pre-sets?

But they're only a guide so I can't see a published book being any more useful than the instruction book.

Plus people have different preferences about levels of doneness and for the food you're talking about OP, there doesn't need to be any more instructions than 'put it in there until its browned to your liking'. Perhaps turn over half way through. Medium temperature so it doesn't cook too fast.

Mine has a quick reheat setting, designed to crisp up a pastry or reheat a slice of pizza (190 C for 6 mins). 90% of what I cook in there has 1, 2 or occasionally 3 goes at that setting. Odd occasion I might knock it down a couple of minutes during the last round.

This is for someone with dementia though. Someone with dementia is unlikely to remember to check the food during cooking , to see if it’s done to their preference.
It’s far easier for someone with dementia to have a very clear set of basic instructions, probably stuck up next to the airfryer, that they can look at as they start the fryer up.
