This week saw us trying to buy a new fridge. You can imagine the moment when I realised the old one just wasn’t cold enough and didn’t respond to a change on the dial. Finding a website where a similar one was available was taking too long, so we made a quick trip to our local independent store on the High Street and explained our crisis. Immediately the young man booked us a delivery slot before we discussed exactly what I needed. Within 5 minutes we’d chosen the replacement and knew exactly when it was coming (today!). I’d been planning to discuss air fryers with you this week, in light of the growing anxiety about forthcoming fuel bills, and had hoped to have done some research by this morning, but with the fridge situation that’s been curtailed! Up to now I’ve only met one person who actually has one and uses it frequently and swears by it. The initial cost can be quite high and it seems that, on average, I’d need to use it 83 times before I recoup the cost. It uses super-heated air circulated at high speed and very little oil needs to be used so food cooks very quickly. They seem great for small quantities of food, so probably not economical for family meals. I still haven’t made my decision – it would need to be put away when not in use, but would it then be a case of “out of sight, out of mind”? Have you bought an air fryer? Any thoughts and feedback would be appreciated x

Hi Becky, I have an air fryer and couldn’t do without it. Not a recent purchase had it for years, just a cheap one think it is either Morphy Richards or Tefal, you can do so much in it only really limited by the size of what you are cooking. Cooking time is quicker as preheat not needed and saves getting the oven dirty. Recent uses have been jacket potatoes (cook in microwave and finish off in air fryer for nice crisp skins), croissants, sausages (the husband has been known to do a full English minus the egg) baked oats, homemade chips, chicken breasts. Mine does sit out on the worktop all the time but only because I don’t have cupboard space. Hope this helps?

Thank you Lynda, that’s really interesting. It seems you are using yours to the max. Does it have 2 drawers? Bx

No, it just has the one drawer, very basic but functional. I do like the look of the 2 drawer Ninja air fryers though. I’m only cooking for 2 people so don’t need anything too large.

I bought 3 air fryers for Xmas presents a few years ago a certain shop had them half price hence the purchase . Not sure any of them use them but they are compact and we enjoyed the chips produced at a friends . I’m edging towards one . That’s probably no help whatsoever but glad u got fridge so quickly xxx

Interesting Jan, let me know if you buy one. Thanks – we have another small fridge so it hasn’t been a total disaster. Looking forward to the new one! xx
