Tell me about air fryers please

[ODFOx]

We are about to be without an oven for a few weeks and am hoping to supplement the microwave, single gas ring and panini maker with something which can approximate oven cooking, plus I have read that for people like me who pop things in the oven to cook an air fryer can save on electricity.

Will it be a worthy purchase or another gadget in the cupboard? What are they good for?

Thank in advance 🙂

@ODFOx hi op, I love my air fryer... you can do so much in them.. chips chicken, other meats and you can also bake in them too... I would defo recommend an air fryer.. Plus it's cooks your food much quicker then and oven

Love my air fryer.
Good for:
Sausages, bacon, meatballs
Roast veg
Cheese on toast
Cheese scones
Roast chicken
Anything from the freezer eg fish fingers, chips, chicken nuggets
Part baked rolls
Corn on the cob
I've even poached eggs in mine!

Some good info in this review .

This all sound very promising!
Which ones do you have/would recommend please?
Thanks

@ODFOx I have the tower one I'll send a pic

This is the one I have

Following for recommendations as my last air dryer was rubbish

I've got a 4.7L cosori. I bought a separate "shelf" so I can cook more than one thing at a time.

I've got a Phillips, & love it. My oven died recently, & I cooked proper meals using it & the mike.
I also have the shelf to double the cooking area, & a silicon liner that can go in the DW.
