Hi all there are so many reports about the advantages of air fryer against oven but I haven't read any real reviews can anyone give me a reason to buy one ? I must admit that oven chips aren't great
Someone techy will post a link to previous thread(s) on this topic.
BTW, any model with half way decent reviews from Which? or Good Housekeeping or UKCS, is currently out of stock, when my OH looked last week. Prices from about £60 to over £200, from memory.
I have a cheapy 1.5L Tower one at home to cook the occasional chips, Padron pepper and shop-bought onions rings for a steak dinner at home.
I don't have one in my van as it will take up too much counter space in the kitchen, and I already have a mini conventional oven and a 2-burner induction hob!

We've had two different make and neither of them produced good chipa which is mainly what we got them four so have gone back to a deepfat fryer,.
Triple cook chips by boiling them for three minutes, let them cool then into fryer a 160c until just before they start to brown them lift out and crank up the temp to max then lower and cook for a few minutes until the perfect chip is produced.
SIL has one, visited recently, jacket spuds were lovely, she swears by it. We don't normally eat chips but will try some when we get one. Still away ATM, hope everywhere has not sold out when we get home.
As well is two words!

Weve got a 4 litre tower one - the chips are fantastic, but we also cook lots of other things in it - they arent fryers at such, more small very-fan ovens. Really good for doing cheese on toast as you dont need to wait for your grill to heat up, and things like eggs cocotte and homemade kfc/katsu.
Theres a facebook group for tower air fryers which has a lot of recipes, and a lot of idiots trying to "boil" eggs in them.

We have a Ninja airfryer system which also acts as a pressure cooker. Does baked potatoes chips, soups and even bakes cakes.
We are still playing with it to find what it can't do.
It is faster than other methods and more economic. Ovens and grills draw around 3kw, airfryer system draws1.7kw.
At the end of cooking there is only one pot to clean up
We have the Ninja foodie. I use it for almost everything - air frying, pressure cooker, slow cooker, roasting and baking. Yes I had all those things before individually but collectively they took up a lot of space and often I couldn't be bothered with the faff of dragging them out from deep within my cupboards. I have a tower air fryer in our static caravan which is great for heating pies, oven chips etc. Must add I did resist for a number of years but now I can't see past them.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
