Not had this in over a year thanks to covid and lockdowns... Mum once came over to see the wean with what turned out to be a sealed container of enough mince and tatties to feed a small army as "she'd made too much, sorry, is it OK to give you some for dinner?" - to which the answer was obviously YES!!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted April 20, 2021 Put a family-size sticky toffee pudding in the oven at 3am (the occasion called for it). The premade pudding was delicious but the cooling fan started going like the clappers when I turned off the heat. It's been 2 hours and I've had to leave the door cracked open with an apology note to whoever finds it in the morning. This cooking thing's not for me.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 28, 2021 Logan Cemetery in Utah is home to a headstone that is gaining notoriety around the world thanks to photos posted online. Aside from birth and death dates for Wade and Kathryn Andrews, the headstone displays a recipe for Kay’s Fudge. Actually it’s a great obit and greater story; I rarely advise reading obits. Do read this one. SC 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,399 Posted January 25, 2022 Just tried a McPlant. I’m actually quite impressed. Almost enough to occasionally allow some cows to live. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte's Controller 195 Posted January 26, 2022 Three of my favourites Salmon pasta, spirali with pesto, smoked salmon (off cuts for taste) and pesto. Nice quick tea. Chicken curry, Peri Piri garlic sauce I like mine hot, onion, tin of coconut milk and a sweet red pepper. Boiled rice. Teriyaki sauce, fish, chicken, a good standby excellent with noodles and chips.

Charlotte's Controller 195 Posted January 26, 2022 Frittata started off with plenty of red onions, paprika, chorizo and then half a dozen eggs. Great with Reggae Reggae sauce. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,143 Posted September 7, 2023 I don't mind pineapple on a pizza. It's chicken that has no business being on a pizza, in my opinion. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,055 Posted March 7 My brother decided it would be a good idea to get an air fryer, especially as they are clubcard discounted at Tesco. So he's delivered it today. Tbh, I'm terrified of the thing, but it will take some getting used to. Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eat nothing but moist air-fried chicken and chips for 7 days to develop your skills. You won't die, and by the second week it should taste slightly better. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no cooker, the microwave has been my friend for many years, but I have missed certain things. If this thing does all its bells and whistles, I'll be back buying bacon and pork chops and the like. I'll get the hang, hopefully. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The important thing to know about an air-fryer is that at the end of the day, it is just an oven. A smaller and more fashionable oven admittedly, but an oven none the less. Turn it on. Put your food in. Take it out when it is done. You are welcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted March 7 Stuff chips. Baked potato king - 10 mins microwave - 10 mins air fryer (maybe a little longer both, depending on size). No cleaning needed. Result. Mainly as AFB says, its just an oven. But its a fkn sight cheaper to run, most ovens are about 7KW or something awful which is ok if there's 5 of you I suppose but terrible for one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
