A mate of mine had those on offer at his dad's wake.When my dear old dad was alive, he loved beef dripping on bread - personally the thought makes me barf!!

A quick skim reveals it uses solid state devices to generate the em radiation which they claim is in the mid infra red.
Microwave radiation is next on the list of arbitrary naming convention for the continuous EM spectrum, infra red all the way down to 1mm, microwave all the way up to 1mm (or v.v either way you look at it, they meet at 1mm). Like I said, if people want to call air fryers glorified fan ovens, then Altatherm is a glorified microwave oven...

So wheres one get the air to fry with?
The air fryer fries the air, just as the name suggests. The air gets all hot and bothered and tries to cool itself down on anything it comes into contact with. Simples.So wheres one get the air to fry with?

It's hard to explain just how handy they are.
Today's dinner was roast salmon, mash sweet potato and some Kale.
The sweet potato goes on for 10 minutes....then after 10 minutes the salmon goes on for 12 minutes. About 6 minutes before the end I do the Kale.
Yes I could have used the oven...but for 2 bits of salmon this is easier.

Thats my morning routine most mornings, since the toaster went wonky and I cant be bothered to fix it. Then some worcester sauce sprinked on top.
The other advantage is if the loaf is cut super chunky or irregular, it doesnt get jammed in and have to be fought out.
Mrs makes sourdough fruit loaf and regular bread, the fruit loaf toasted in the ninja cookpot is amazing, especially if I got control of the slicer that batch and "accidentally" set it to doorstop instead of thin stuff. if its normal bread I treat myself to some cheese on it quite often. Our cooking pot one sits on glass chopping boards that live on top of the hob. If we really want to use the hob, we just move it.
For the thread, we have the og double air fryer with the drawers from when they first came out, the cookpot one, a ninja slushie and the ninja icecream maker. The only one I think is pointless is the slushie, but my mrs would argue the toss because she makes up alcoholic slushies in it all summer and retires into her spa with them. I hardly drink and never cocktails so meh... The ice cream maker is great, because we make sugar free ice cream in it but that digresses from the airfryery aspect of this discussion. Both my kids have the cookpot ones at their uni places too, in a small apartment kitchen theyre compact and versatile and less risk of son setting fire to apartment experimenting with new forms of fusion cookery. When we go out in the motorhome, we take the air fryer with us and use it when hooked up
Silicon drawer liners make it a lot easier to wash up afterwards, and you already discovered the silicon egg moulds.

We got one at Xmas on a bit of a whim and it hasn’t let me down yet. Fantastic device. It comes up to temp so quickly and probably the biggest advantage for us is it gives the kids some autonomy to cook more for themselves without the risks of the oven. We don’t have a microwave (never have) so this is the only “gadget” in the kitchen but can only see it getting used more and more as we learn more about it

Mix the desert spoon of ground nut oil ( or extra virgin olive oil) with a dash of light soy sauce , a pinch of dried mixed herbs and if you like a 1/4 teaspoon of dried garlic granules. stir the spuds in the mix ( better than a quick squirt) 12 minutes at 160 roast then 2-4 mins at 240 max crisp. If you can be bothered you can Part boil them first ,dunk them in cold water to stop the cooking ,dry them and carry on as before but only cook at 160 for 10 mins before giving them the Max Crisp treatment. keep an eye on them during the last 2mins or so to avoid burning.
