Hubby of course was mortified, "Don't go ruining perfectly good shallow fried crispy chicken wings just because you have a new machine" he stated.
I replied "You know that you have to use a new machine every night for the first two weeks!"
Then I cooked beautifully crispy potato chips, one of his deep fried staple foods and he thought they were simply amazing. He said "you can actually taste the potato and not the oil".
So safe to say we are now Air Fryer Converts 😊
Plus it's nice to have a new 'toy' in the kitchen one which will not only cook healthy fast food but also it is always stimulating to learn how to use a new cooking item.

Have you discovered the joys of an Air Fryer and if so what is your favourite air fried food?
Buon appetito, enjoy Merryn xx
A very practical kitchen gadget! Both chips look really crisp :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie I am so pleased with my air fried efforts this far. Crispy coated chicken wings were cooked perfectly ascwell in 20 minutes so this is a wonderful addition to our kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI'll be eager to read about all the things you air fry!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I didn't love my airfryer because I got a similar result from my fan forced oven and I don't like taking up too much space as we're in a small apartment. But a lot of people love them!
ReplyDeleteMy parents have one which I used when I was there last year. It certainly makes for great chips! But, Dave does not like the idea so we don't have one :)
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about getting an air fryer, but haven't made the plunge yet. And I do have a convection oven, which can produce similar results. Still, when you want to make a small batch of something, the air fryer is probably the way to go. And who doesn't want a quick snack of chips from time to time? :-)
