I was a sceptic for so long over these air fry thingys...bought one last year and it has changed the way i eat. Everything goes in it and comes out perfect, no ovens to clean, minimal power unlike 3Kw ovens. My missus makes her own hash browns from fresh gratted potatoes and throws them in the air frier...game changer with salt and black pepper.

The fat floats to the top when it cools, dig through and throw away the fat, the dark layer at the bottom is all the remaining meat juices and very small particles of the meat that sink to the bottom during cooling, eat the juices/meat on bread that's the good bit....Noooooo way! Just the thought of that ................

Decades ago we had a metal box on site with a hole low down that you pushed a hot air stripper nozzle into, it heated food and warmed the room, you could also.put the tea pot on top to keep warm, I know I should have copyrighted that

We make our own chips from potatoes...it's just so simple to cut up a spud and throw it in.
Mine is a multi cooker...I steam roasted a chicken at the weekend. It has a food probe so auto cooks...was ready as I finished work.
This evening I'm doing salmon using the bake function....always comes out perfect.
My brother was totally against them...it's just a fad apparently! Now cooks everything in it
Do you toast the bread first? Or just make up a sarnie and stick it in there?

I do both, depends on mood and time. My favorite is to fully toast one side of the bread, this faces inwards, then toast up the outside while the cheese melts

That's how I do cheese on toast...it's quicker than the toaster I think as it's up to temp as the cheese is added.
My multi cooker has a removable pot....buying a spare pot has really worked out well. It means I can lift out one pot with my chicken (and leave it to keep warm) and then add a new pot to do the chips.

I use the air fryer for everything I can. Triple cooked chips come out nice, as do poached eggs

I do mine by toasting the bread, adding the cheese, tomato, other stuff, then putting the lot in the microwave for 40 seconds. That melts the cheese and heats the rest of the stuff up nicely, a little too much really but any less time and the cheese isn't altered. I'll have to look at trying them in the air fryer, but I can never get it properly clean as it is.
Ah, I see you've got as much understanding of how microwaves and this work as our H&S bloke. He had to be educated in some fairly basic ideas too.

Go ahead. Edumacate me.
Different technology. Plenty of people do infra red ovens, but not using this specific tech. Rather a lot of patents on it, taken a long time to get where it is, waiting for technology to catch up with the idea. Spun out of a major US company, it's quite exciting stuff.Ahh I see - an infra red cooker!
A British company does a much better version
