I used my slow cooker all the time in winter, batch cook a large casserole then freeze a load, works well for me, you can usually pick one up in Lidl for a reasonable price.

It’s pretty much all I do for meals through the Winter. I slow cook everything from soups to stews, curries, chillies, bolognese, cottage pie, shepherds pie, fish pie…

I don’t do chicken in mine, texture never seems right, great for beef and game though.

The ninja ,you pressure cook it for 22 mins and then air crisp it comes out nice and moist with crispy skin.

We got a ninja dual air fryer a few months ago for about £180 in the sale. Not used the oven since, paid for itself in leccy savings already. Seriously brilliant piece of kit and does everything we need it for

As others have probably mentioned, they do a ninja all in one thing that does slow cooking, pressure cooking and air frying I think.

pressure-cookers and air fryers are the way forward for cooking

got myself one of the tefal 2 in 1 actifry air fryers and I must say you have to do bacon and sausage and you will never fry again

Is there anything with the 15-1 that I'd need over the 11-1?
Has it got an Alexa built in?
Curious how they do a Roast Chicken (although it's mentioned above tbf) as that would be a strong selling point.

Get a ninja foodi ,I haven’t used the hob or oven since we’ve got it.

Same here, best thing we ever bought, we very rarely use the oven, more so the hob, but you can pretty much do everything you could before, plus you can steam, pressure cook, bake (cakes/bread), slow cook with it.

It needs a bit of patience to master everything, but if it's only a one person household it must save on fuel.

You can also buy accessories to go in it, like a scewer rack making it even more versatile.

Did one yesterday, just put it in the bottom and roasted it using the bake option. One thing to be careful of, is not having meat too close to the element, it can/will burn, a mistake I made early on before I really thought about what it was doing.

They even make a good risotto
