Air fryers

[Nine Elms]

Good morning All and a Happy New Year (bit late I know!!)

May seem an odd question for this Forum, but I am canvassing opinion. Does anyone have an Air Fryer and are they any good?

hi, is this an air fryer for chips etc. If so, best thing we ever bought. Can give model etc, if this is your question. john

Thank you "yelrow". It is indeed to fry chips ect. I have a oil fryer that stinks the kitchen out and leaves a sticky mess everywhere and thought the Air variety might be a better bet.

Blimey do people still deep fry.

Haven't seen any Fish & Chip shops using air fryers as yet?
Best home cooked chips are oven chips cooked from frozen in a deep fat fryer. They are gorgeous!

While we don't own an air fryer our friends purchased a Ninja air fryer (not sure which model?) It works very well but should be supplied with ear defenders, as the noise it makes is ridiculous!

SEB Actifry, may be Tefal in uk. Would not be without it. Beats Oven chips any day.

Making me hungry.

Tried an air fryer essentially to produce healthier chips. Very, very noisy [large fan] and the fryer had to be placed on a heatproof surface. The element seemed in this one, Tower brand, to be about three times the size of that in a kettle. On top of all that the end result was soft chips. Gave it to a relative. Come to think of it we didn’t get a Christmas card from them this year. R-

Sorry Roger but can you please explain the meaning of "healthier chips", I don’t understand the concept.

A relative has recently bought one, a Ninja I think. She thinks it is fantastic and it allegedly makes the best roast potatoes ever.
