Air Fryers,Right For Me?

[NoseyNose]

Having watched the TV programme this evening,about air fryers, my question is:~

As I am (now) a single household,is it worth me buying one?

I think that one person heating,and using, a large fan assisted oven(me)wastes money,and it seems take much longer to cook food.

So a small air fryer might be cheaper,and easier for me.

I have yet to work out the way to cook using the main(fan) part of my cooker,so use the small top oven(which works),but I think that even this is more expensive than the air fryer would be?

I don't have the instruction book for my cooker,lord knows where my partner put it.LOL

So I could start all over again with an  air fryer,and know just what I was doing.

Any comments/advice would be most welcome/

Thank You,Gordon.

I don't know why that posted twice?

I will eat most things,but as I get older(76) I can't be bothered with a lot of fuss and preparation.

That's why I thought of an air fryer, it has less time and ease of use?

I am going to have a look around  the sheltered housing that I would like to live in, next week.

I will update this post when I have.

Things are moving,at last.

I live on my own,  was gifted an air fryer last August, its a Tower single draw.  Haven't used my main oven since.   I cook everything in the AF,  from cheese on toast to roast meat and roast potatoes, had apple crumble last evening   I do use my hob for vegetables,  but i wouldn't be without the Air Fryer.

Looks lovely, Gordon.  Good luck

Barsel, Making a fruit cake last Sunday was a toss up between a slow cooked one or using my MW oven.

I opted for the *six minute* MW recipe as it didn't need cooking parchment. It took far longer than that to assemble and mix the ingredents and as a cake I reckon about 8/10.

15.05 That place looks very nice - hope it will be your future home.  A lovely part of the country - used to visit Icklesham and loved Rye - so quaint.

I see that some air fryers have little windows,to let you see the food that is cooking.

Is there really any reason for this,or is it just a gimmick?
