but a wire basket upside down over it - you can't do a lot at once, and very lightly coat the kernels in a little oil too (couple of squirts of 1 cal is great)

"Chips

And after you've done that, you'll be packing tge thing back in it's box and going back to cooking chips properly, as I did.

I found my air fryer such a pain in the arse, didn't cook things evenly and everything I did in it tasted too bland

They are handy for heating up a croissant in the morning, they also do a fab job on home made or frozen chips.

Skin on chicken thighs or chicken wings.

Despite what some will tell you, you can cook a great steak in an air fryer

Costco's own one is £39 + vat.

Best one I've ever owned. Does air fry, bake, grill, reheat, keep warm, dehydrate and roast.

It's a single basket one, however I saw on YouTube that you can use the rack provided to cook stuff in layers, which has been a game changer.

Not used my oven once since I bought it last May.

You do know an airfryer is like a faster little oven and rarely involves any oil or frying really.

180° for 20 mins, turn over the bird and another 20 mins, best to put some foil in the basket to catch the juice

Used mine today for the first time. The Pork chop and potatoes/chips were lovely, I need more practice with the veg though.

The Apple Crumble for pudding was amazing, really nice. I will keep going, it's nice doing things differently

Thank you.

I've experimented with other meats on the bake setting and on the roast setting, but not tried on the fry setting.
