Dry Friers - are they any good?

Depends on how much you think you’ll use the other functions. We use ours at least 2-3 times a week snd sometimes a lot more. I bought it early March and reckoned it had paid for itself before the end of the month.

The best analog I've found is: Think of the food you wish that you could do in the microwave for ease and speed but can't and have to fry, bake or roast. Then this is the gap it not only fills but uses less energy than the oven and less oil than frying (only thing is you can't fit a pizza in it).

A very good analogy, you can do pizza if you buy the ones below.

One important thing you didn't mention is the fat drops into the outer basket so healthier eating.

We have seen the adverts and thought that they look good but don't know anyone who has one. I could be tempted.

You now know at least three.

We've got an air fryer that we use a lot, for cubed potatoes, doing roastie tats when doing the Sunday lunch, and cooking sausages, the eldests veggie stuff, that kind of thing.

Really tempted by a ninja foodie - especially the pressure cook / air browning combination.

We used to have a halogen oven which works on the same principle as an air fryer but after a couple of years constant use the bulb went and we couldn't find a replacement SWMBO saw the Air Fryer XL being demonstrated on one of the shopping channels and we decided to get the Air Fryer instead of another halogen oven.
