Air fryers – part 2

Many thanks to all of you, both far and near, who joined the discussion about air fryers. It seems many of you have bought these as gifts for young friends with some positive feedback. In order to further my research I called in to our friendly local electrical supply shop where the young assistant was more than happy to chat. In competition with the widescreen TV displaying the rowdy House of Commons and our latest Prime Minister all shouting at once, he told me that they had almost sold out of air fryers after they had been promoted as money savers. There was just one on display, quite chunky – about the size of a bread machine. It had a single basket which looked similar to a deep sandwich tin with a perforated base. The price was reasonable by comparison with the 2 basket versions which he said were more popular. Interestingly after some discussion he decided that I probably wouldn’t get enough use out of one and, to his credit, he certainly didn’t try the “hard sell”. So, to date, my best advocate is the lady I told you about last week, a nonagenarian, who deserves a special mention, still using hers every day. Will I buy one? Probably not, but one of our young friends has added one to their Christmas wish list!
