Air fryers

Can confirm cajun chicken in an air fryer is absolutely delightful.

A few things I've tried recently:

 

Salami, ham and cheese toastie.

 

1. Get 4 slices of Aldi tiger bloomer

 

2.Butter/margarine/cold press rape seed oil/extra virgin olive oil on the bread /leave off (your choice)

 

3.Add a layer of cheese slices on two of the bread slices.

 

4. Add  layer of salami

 

5. Add another layer of cheese slices

 

6. Add layer of ham 

 

7. Cook for about 15 minutes on 200. 

 

Note: my 5.5L takes two of the Aldi tiger bloomer sandwiches landscape (I'm not sure if you'd stuggle with a smaller size airfryer or the volume comes from more height than width)

 

Chicken breast wrapped in bacon with garlic roule.

 

1. Get 2 chicken breasts and make an incision with a sharp knife creating a pouch in the breast. 

 

2. Stuff pouch with garlic roule cheese.

 

3. Wrap each chicken breasts with 2 bacon rashers.

 

4. Place in tin foil and put in airfryer for 20-25 mins on 180. 

 

Also I can confirm the Aldi in beef dripping chips (a little more expensive) are as good as those chips you get at a posh restaurant where you think "why can't I make chips like this?"

I'm mostly cooking for just me, MrsG eats weird concoctions. I've found it very useful for that reason and rarely use the oven but still use the hob and microwave.

 

The 'ovens' on mine aren't dishwasher proof so are hard to clean so I use these and chuck them in the dishwasher.

Steel (non coated) loaf trays or round steel bowls are essential in my opinion. I put everything in them and cover with foil. I then usually cook at 200 degrees for 25 minutes. If you need to crisp the top of a dish such as lasagne. Whip the foil off for the last 5 mins. Works a treat.

I’ve got the ninja 15 in 1 fryer, does everything, 3 tiers for full meals and lots of lovely one pot stuff we do in it too. Wasn’t cheap but all the food tastes nicer in it and after however long you’ll make the money back on the energy saved. Highly recommended.

Air fryers are great if you can't cook and/or don't value the taste of food
