Air fryer tips

[denislawsbackheel]

Great bit of kit, I’m no cook but I make great stews and soups with it
plus tuna melts and cheese toasties

It really is the dogs ganglies.
I’ve air fried, used as a rice cooker, roasted, steamed, baked, pressure cooked, fried, even dehydrated a surplus of herbs to keep in jars.

I do roast chicken in mine. Put it in upside down (breast side down, the juice runs into the breast and makes it more succulent). 30-40 mins on 200c then turn over for another 30-40 mins. 1hr 20 is probably max for it but keep checking and make sure it's fully cooked.

Roast potatoes are great, par boil and fluff up the edges, spoon over a bit of oil and give it 30 mins...bang on.

A lot of trial and error involved but it's a lot cheaper than using the oven.

Bought one last week and are still playing around with it. I have found that reducing the time by a couple of minutes and increasing the temp by 20' works best, makes things a bit crispier......we do put quite a lot in the tray though, maybe that's why, time will tell.

Warm up for a minute or so for certain foods or so they stay together, like meatballs for example.

I find that I drop the heat up to 15 degrees cos traditional cooking times are set by a standard oven in which hot air is blown in a big space.

The air fryer produces the same heat in a much smaller space, so negotiating the trade off is a must.

Steaks are absolutely shithot in an airfryer

Fish is delicious from the airfyer. You can wack salmon fillets in and they're done in 8 minutes at 180 degrees

Eleccy bill's gone down 20 quid a month because the oven is redundant now.
Rib eye steak, 3 mins either side and a blob of Lurpak on it for the last minute.

Did I mention the ratio of 3 parts paprika to 1 part garlic salt/ powder, mixed evenly and spread on on chips in the air fryer is... *mwah!* So Choice!

I bang some vinegar on them after when I've done me burgers in a bun!

Delish!

Don’t bugger about cutting up potatoes as suggested elsewhere. Get the frozen ones most of them have air fryer instructions. Takes 14 to 16 minutes with a few shakes along the way. Superb and a lot less faffing about.
