Air fryer/Slow Cooker vs Oven

Nina 5.2l air fryer max…this is what I’m thinking of up grading to. Anyone got and advice? I’ve also just ordered a 22” blackstone hot plate for Xmas. Anyone got any experience?

but what about stuff you maybe dont want to mix together, it seems the large ones you can cook one type of thing at a time, say a roast chicken, then youve got to put veg in after?

You can effectively "steam" veg whilst using an "air fryer" like the Nija 15 in 1, just put them in foil with butter and some water.

On this there are "steam roast", and a "steam meals" options, these effectively air fry the meat, with gravy/stock below which steams, though I've found putting veg in foil as above as effective, with the steam meals if you have enough stock in the pot, you can cook the veg in the stock like you would boil it in water.

We regularly cook a whole meal in there at the same time, though obviously what you have in there at what time varies, as I like meat to rest, and I don't like overdone veg, so I put things in and take things out as required.

Chers @Mancitydoogle i have grabbed it going of the comments from most in here. I thought they were a gimmis at first but to many of you in here speak to well of them for it to be that.

I'll be sous vide'ing some stuff with it @somapop so i shall report back, it should be ok really unless i wanted to cook a lot. The bowl for that is 5.6 litres i think.

Yeah, pleased do mate.

I was umming and arring over to just get an air fryer or go for a 10/11/12 + in one so I can experiment more.
Slow cookier built in might be a good idea as I was planning on one of those too.

Like the idea of sous vide'ing stuff however....perked the radar of my inner chef back up.
