I don’t know how low the setting on the thermostat goes. Too much heat and the food just turns to dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is what I've always wondered. How the fook do you clean them? I've given up on the deep fat fryer I bought in lockdown as I couldn't be arsed to clean it. Almost impossible in fact, once dripped oil gets into hard to reach nooks and crevices it's not for shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost impossible in fact, once dripped oil gets into hard to reach nooks and crevices it's not for shifting. I threw the first one I had away for this reason (it caused it to stop working properly), and by cooking things for longer on a lower temp and more frequently rotating/stirring I find the build up of oil and fat is far far less and easier to clean.

rjw63 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Crispy bacon. Sausage. Crispy sweet potato fries. Marinated chicken breast. All brilliant. BTW I have had a cheap £35 Salter air fryer for around ten years, still going strong. Only drawback is it's not big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja one is a damn sight easier than most traditional cooking methods Take basket out, take plate out, wash them, dry them put them back in, no harder than washing a plate Compare that to cleaning an oven or even an old frying pan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an old Actifry that we never use, keep meaning to get that out again as it was great for chips and stir frys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Verse 1) In the kitchen, late at night, Got my cravings, appetite, Flick the switch, the power's on, Air fryers hum a familiar song. (Pre-Chorus) With a hunger in my eyes, I scan the fridge, no surprise, But I know just what to do, Dial for meal deals, overdue. (Chorus) Air fryers and meal deals, Satisfy my midnight feels, Crispy fries and juicy deals, Late-night feast that truly appeals. (Verse 2) Through the menu, I explore, Burritos, burgers, and much more, Texting orders, delivery, Won't you come and dine with me? (Pre-Chorus) With a hunger in my eyes, I scan the fridge, no surprise, But I know just what to do, Dial for meal deals, overdue. (Chorus) Air fryers and meal deals, Satisfy my midnight feels, Crispy fries and juicy deals, Late-night feast that truly appeals. (Bridge) The aroma fills the air, As I await my tasty fare, Impatiently, I pace around, Until the doorbell's familiar sound. (Guitar Solo) (Verse 3) Unbox the joy, unwrapping glee, A combo that sets my spirit free, In the darkness, we indulge, Air fryers and meal deals, a perfect merge. (Pre-Chorus) With a hunger in my eyes, I scan the fridge, no surprise, But I know just what to do, Dial for meal deals, overdue. (Chorus) Air fryers and meal deals, Satisfy my midnight feels, Crispy fries and juicy deals, Late-night feast that truly appeals. (Outro) In the silence of the night, Air fryers hum, a sweet delight, With meal deals by my side, Savoring each bite, we ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
