Hullo all.
Thinking about energy prices I've turned my freezer off as I don't think it warrants being on at the moment.
I also have an oven that I consider being an enormous energy sucker (I live alone). Imagine that being on 200 degrees just to cook one thing (whole roast chicken aside).

Looking into Air Dryers vs slow cooker (and there are hybrids but apparently the air frying capabilities aren't great).
Air fryers are super quick and have their limitations whereas slow cookers would be on for quite a bit longer (although I could batch cook and place the rest in the fridge then heat up).

Or just stick to using my hob and oven (those air fryers aren;'t particularly cheap).
Not sure how longer I'll be in this flat (and I've never really cooked in this kitchen given it's not much bigger than a bloody wardrobe.....)

Any thoughts on these?

I have both a Ninja Air fryer and a slow cooker. Both good additions to the kitchen. Cooking meat and chips in the fryer is ideal, quick and tasty and using the slow cooker for a curry or a sweat & sour is also ideal. Don’t matter if you live alone or not. Make a batch and freeze what you don’t eat. Hate using the oven so avoid if possible. Trial and error on the fryer, some of the food was not great at the start until you get used to it.

I cooked sausages then soda in the air fryer and made a tasty breakfast the other day. You need to use oil in my opinion. I put some in a bowl and brush it onto the food. Especyfor chips you need to shake them every 6/10min and put bit oil on. Bit of a hassle but worth it. 5 potatoes pealed and cut will take about 20-25 min. 20 min on 190 and the last 5 on 200.

The mid range came out good but the smaller ones seem ok, depends on your needs and budget, the big arse fuckers are pretty big and not cheap but seems cheaper to run than an oven it seems

I only use my oven now to store all that bulk buy pasta I got during lockdown.
Can even cook pizza in my air fryer.
(small pizzas)
