@@timellam1918 People need to make a living, especially in this economy. Let the man make his decision to support his family however he wants, mate. This whole selling out thing is so old, time to grow up brother.
A couple of years ago I gave in to people telling me I needed an air fryer so purchased the cheapest one I could find (£30 from asda) and it was a revolution for me! It cuts cooking time by 40%ish , is super easy to clean and cooks loads of the things I like very well indeed. I am now desperate for it to break down so I can go buy one of those two drawer ninjas but the bloody thing just keeps going and going.
I'm looking for an air fryer myself and one of my biggest considerations is a safe non-stick coating in the interior. It's surprising how many of these machines have dangerous non-stick coatings.
Ninja Foodi 15 in1, for me is excellent. I've made pies, cakes, roasted meats, it is well worth the money, so much so, that I barely use my oven. I've also got a Hysapienta counter top 22L airfryer oven, which for about £140 has been a great buy and it makes great pies, you can even do a rotisserie chicken in it!
I`ve got both and can highly recommend an air fryer. I`ve had mine 2 months now and in month 1 it saved me £26 on my Electric bill and it only cost me £58. They`re perfect for single people or doing bits and pieces if you`ve got a family.
i found the crock pot did not cook potatoes well even after 6 hours the meat was tender but the spuds were hard,so i got an instant pot which can slow cook as well, but never use that function and the meat and spuds are perfect
@@debeeriz I think you need to cut the potatoes a bit smaller. I don't usually cook pots in the slow cooker as I like them roasted, but I put other root veg in with pork or chicken, and they cook perfect. I cooked some pork shoulder steaks in cider and an oxo cube with leeks, swede and carrots and it made my mouth have an orgasm.
Very different ways of cooking, Crock pots just give you hot mush after half a day of waiting, air fryers can cook pretty much anything in 1% of the time
I use a Cosori dual blaze. It's brilliant. I do like that Sage tabletop oven you use. It sounds perfect. There's always updated appliances coming out. Lakeland have a good selection. I definitely agree with one of your subscribers' comments suggesting you approach the companies to review their products. We'd love to see your honest reviews. Thanks Gareth 👍
Just relying on an; "Air Fryer" would never do for me! I cook four meals a day; Breakfast, Dinner, Tea, and Supper, with my mid-day Dinner being my main meal of the day. For that, I have always used my Gas Cookers; High-level Grill for toasting stuff, four mid-Gas Burners for all my multiple Pots and Pans, and the bottom Gas Oven for all my Roasting! To time everything correctly for the meal I need 3-4 saucepans on the go, with Boiled Potatoes, Boiled Fresh Vegetables, and Boiled Gravy, with a spare burner for warming my Dinner Plates placed over the grill. Meat/Pies, etc, will go in the Gas oven for however long it takes to roast, and everything has to be "timed" independently! I cannot imagine a single "Air Fryer" being able to perform all those separate timings and temperature requirements! My trusty Gas Cooker and Kitchen Timer are on the go, all day long, serving all my daily needs! As long as the Gas Man supplies me with Gas, I am a Happy Bunny!.....LOL...😊....😊....!
People pounced on airfryers etc to cut rising cost of electricity and gas. Have found them cheaper and faster to use. Heard a lot about a Kafree/Cafree? recently.
Rik the back yard chef has some smashing results with the HySemptia oven, it looks and performs like it's a decent bit of kit. Air fry / oven and it might be grill as well.
I considered buying an airfryer but they were so small. I eventually settled on a halogen oven which has a 12 litre capacity or 17 litre with the expander ring.and for under £40 was much cheaper too. Another advantage is the glass bowl and lid so you can see the food cooking [or burning] It cooks a whole pizza, whole chicken plus vegetables or chips at the same time.
@@debeerizthough I never had a glass halogen cooker granted my slot in electric cooker has halogen hotplates and fan oven to be honest I find halogen hotplates easier to keep clean than solid sealed electric hotplates 😊
I just recently watched a video about airfryers. Both the side-by-side, and the stacked variation. The lady in the video after some deliberation, picked the side-by-side one. Based over many perhameters.
Eh, it's always a question of where to put a new addition. I live in an apartment with a walk-through kitchen, and there isn't a lot of counter space. Got a toaster oven, a microwave, and a rice cooker -- that filled it up. Was gifted a pasta machine, and it sent me into a tizzy -- where to put it? It would be nice to have an air fryer and a slow cooker, but... Oh, and the cupboard's full of stuff, too.
Hi Gareth, if your keeping your ninja for the pressure cooking part and you only want an air fryer, i can recommend the Cosori dual blaze as it's got an element on the bottom as well as the top. Also it's got a crisper tray in the bottom instead of a basket inside so it's a lot easier to clean.
I have a Ninja Foodie XL, and one of the Sage Cookers.( Influenced by your Good Self) My Ninja can cook 6 burgers, or a whole Chicken, with Potatoes. The Sage is Awesome for Cakes, Pies, and does the Best Toast and Crumpets ever..
We have just bought an Integrated double oven from Zanussi that's also got an Air fryer in it . That could replace your existing Oven ,it's ideal as its great for our small Kitchen and leaves more space on the Work tops
I have a Halogen and do pies, fish, chips, roast chicken etc etc. I also have an Instant Pot which is an electric pressure cooker with a saute function so you can fry your onion, garlic, meat etc before throwing everything else in there before pressure cooking. Very quick - I make an authentic Paella in 20 mins. So much choice out there. x
Good luck. There are drawer ones, basket ones, and ones with rotisserie options. One drawer or two drawers side by side or stacked. One I saw had a steam clean function, others non stick, or soak to get the residue off. Some had windows, others did not, and finally high powered, medium or low powered. Dn't forget the size either! Rather you than me as I haven't bothered with an air fryer!
i went with the small af100 ninja as i live alone and it fits away perfectly in my kitchen cupboard. cooks things i need and saves me using my oven. the new stacked af looks pretty cool guess it depends how many you're cooking for
I'm fairly new to air fryers, having got my first one earlier this year. I decided to go with an in-house brand from a catering equipment company called Nisbets. Ended up with a 6.5 litre one for 80 quid which is built like a tank lol. It has fairly simple controls, which is fine with me.
air fryers are good but notice how much nicer the food tastes if i cook in the normal oven rather than the airfryer but they have their place for convenience
We have recently bought what looks like an updated model of your existing one. As you say, a minefield. Depends on what you want it do, and how much you want to spend.
Hi i have the Cosori dual blaze i can do 2 Aldi frozen sausage rolls in about 12 minutes (always check my food with a temp probe) 2 large jacket spuds 10 mins in the microwave 10 mins in the air fryer to crisp up the skin also use pressure cooker for spuds then bang them in the air fryer till brown .It help when this fryer has heating elements top & bottom . I'm only cooking for one so i don't know what it be like cooking for larger family just depends what your making .(just as side note mine had a plastic smell for for a while but thats gone now ). Chips from frozen 10 mins and you don't need to shake them half way through.
They're perfect for what you do on the channel, i.e. cooking one thing at a time, and I must admit that I got hooked on mine, especially when electricity prices were going through the roof, but I think they have major drawbacks which have led to me using them less and less. One is that you can really only do one thing at a time, and we often need to do several things at once. For that reason I would say the ones with two drawers must be better. I found myself cooking the protein element, keeping it warm in the oven while I did the spuds. Not much point having the speed, temperature and electricity saving if you're still heating the oven. Another thing is noise. The ones I have are really noisy and I like to listen to music while I'm cooking.....shush! If I got another one it would have two drawers!
A couple of years ago my pressure cooker packed in so I decided to buy an Instant Pot so I got the one with the two separate lids,air fry and pressure cook,I liked the way it performed so much I bought the 5.7 Ltr Instant Vortex Air Fryer with the window in the drawer,I then decided to get another one and bought the 8.5 Ltr Instant Versazone with the big single drawer that you can divide into two separate drawers,they are now the only way I cook food,I would like an air fryer oven but I have no room for it,my oven is now a cupboard for air fryer accessories,each to his own Gareth but I can't see by the ''Instant Brand'',good luck with whatever you pick big pal and you're looking great by the way
I'd suggest getting one of the ones with one large drawer that can be divided in 2 when you need to cook 2 different things. The ones with 2 separate drawers are I think too small. We have an "Instant" one, which we got from Argos a year or so ago. With the single huge drawer it will cook any sized whole chicken if required. The drawer ones are easier to get stuff out of than the top-loading ones and fit better under cupboards as well.
I have a Ninja Duo Airfryer & have had it since it came out . Absolutely love it , has various programmes even dehumidify 's . Love it . Depemds what worktop space you have as it will not be something you stick in a cupboard between uses
I hear the chefree on Amazon are good with dual baskets, sync function and windows with lights inside so you dont have to open the thing to see how your food is coming along. Not got one myself but watched a review and it looked great and very reasonably priced!!
Been looking at air fryers since the fad started, but decided they just do the same thing as one of those rotary health fryers that I bought during the last fad. Got the Breville Halo+ and like the air fryer, it does some things well but others not so much. Great for chips, though to make them tumble rather than just slide, you have to cut them into cubes rather than strips. Fantastic for chicken wings too. Reminds me, I've got some in the fridge that need eating. Probably a bit awkward for pies.
Hi Gareth. I don’t personally own an air fryer however I follow someone on TH-cam called The Dinner Lady. Both her and her husband cook some delicious meals. She has many different kitchen gadgets including the Ninja air fryer. But the one she uses all the time and seems to love is the Cosori air fryer. I hope this helps x
Ninja Foodie Max Pro will give you so many more options for your channel. Not cheap, but you will have an air fryer, hot plate, grill and griddle covered along with temperature sensor cooking.
Like you Gary, I bought a multifunction Ninja A/F about a year ago. Its only drawback is its size. Limiting. So I bought a Ninja Duel recently, and I have to say I can now cook using both together. Its quick and still economical. Our built in oven rarely used. Pies are quite easy if you use the rack so that hot air cooks underneath, same with quiche lorraines etc...great results. The Duel is great for steaks, sausages etc.
We I first married we moved into a house that the previous owner had left the built in oven. I was at work one day when my wife phoned me saying the oven had caught fire because of all the grease that had been packed behind the fan. The fire brigade came ripped out the oven threw it in our yard then we bought a stand alone cooker. My Air Fryer was a Christmas present it was made by Tower and came with a grilling plate. So we could air fry and Grill on the same device.
I'm thinking of getting a new air fryer too & am looking at one of the ones that has the flexi-drawer where you can have it as 2 seperate zones or one big drawer for big joints and casserole dishes etc.
Cosori dual blaze Gaz, the only one with top and bottom elements, only 300mm wide. I cook everything in them, even curries. That good I have two. If you have any problems, Cosori sorts it out quickly. I also have the same Sage oven as you, which I only use now for toasting. I mainly use dual blaze, pressure cooker and Sage combi air fryer microwave. The cooker and hob is redundant.
I've got the same SAGE as you, and I love it too. Recently purchased a drawer air fryer from B&M for £39.99 manufactured by TOWER. Love it! Use it every day. It's very basic, no digital screens, just twist knobs, one for timer and one for temperature (less to go wrong). The drawer can go in the dishwasher.
We have the big Ninja, we found the same with pies and stuff like that. Sunday joints are done in it perfectly every week. So we bought a salter twin drawer. We added the silicon liners and grill wire racks from Amazon. We use it almost everyday, reheating croissants etc. it does bacon and burgers a treat. Pies perfectly. Having both means the oven is only used like you for Xmas day.
I have a Ninja and for pies, eg Pukka pies etc., I generally turn the heat well down from what they say or it'll burn the crust, maybe 170c or lower. I use a probe thermometer to check when it's cooked through.
Cosori all the way , especially with a square or rectangle basket , round baskets are just not good when you have to do bacon or square slice , sausage rolls , etc , I always cook between 10% -15% under the cooking and heating times , and it works out great , quick 1 minute blast at the end for crispiness if needed
We had Halogen cookers for years, which were great. However, they took up a lot of room and were a pain to keep clean. We have now got an air fryer called 'Uten', which we bought off the 'jungle' website. It works pretty much like a halogen oven, but without the fragile 'bulb'. The genius bit, is that it has a rotisserie basket which does cracking chips and things like chicken wings etc. Best bit was it was only about eighty odd quid, and has been running perfectly for a couple of years now!
I have two Cosori's , the dual basket is brilliant , at the end of the day they all have a heating element and a fan , then you get the turbo blaze , no need to pre heat element's top and bottom. It's all about budget and the room you have never seen any reviews on the stacking version.
After 2 tower ones each went faulty within 8 months I'd never have another, argos refunded us and we got the Ninja double 4.5 litre drawer version and never looked back. For those interested both tower ones stopped cooking evenly in the right side basket. The first lasted 3 months and the replacement lasted 5 months.
Whatever make you get I recommend a dual basket air fryer. I have a oven air fryer similar to yours and a dual basket Air Fryer and I never use the main gas oven anymore.👍
I recommend the Tefal airfryer, it's called the Genius XL 2 in 1, with a large bottom bowl and a smaller upper bowl, you can time either of the bowls, or both. The bottom bowl also revolves with a stirrer, if you want, so you don't need to turn the chips, etc. I love mine!
Ninja af500 - 3 zones to cook in, left, right, and remove the partition and open up the two baskets into one big one. Also good at sync cooking, say your chips take 20mins and something else 10mins, you can sync it so when the chips get to 10mins the other basket then kicks in, plus other things it can do.
I went with a De’Longhi Multifry, because it has a removable rotating paddle that can stir the food, top and bottom heating elements, and can also slow cook which is great with the stirring paddle for soups, stews, currys, etc.
My wife bought a Ninja IG601 Foodi XL 7-in-1 Electric Indoor Grill Combo. It's bakes, broils, air frys, dehydrates, grills etc. She uses it a lot and loves it.
I recon the ninja 12 in 1 multicooker looks good with steam function. Although I’ve just bought a tower vortex elite from Tesco and it’s bloody brilliant for the price, it’s just a two basket one no pressure cooking etc
Looked at replacing our Ninja 15-1 because it started to burn pies. Decided to keep it for slow / pressure cooking. Saw this demo on Consori and Chefree and decided to but the Chefree. Very pleased two baskets and lights to see the cooking and sync cooking. No regrets
Have a large capacity Gourmia (drawer/basket style) and if something happened to it i would hope to replace it with the exact same thing - my experience with the Sage type has been disappointing - particularly with the heating elements on the bottom it really is useless - basically a glorified toaster oven and i don't consider it an air fryer as the results are just not the same A "real" air-fryer makes a whole chicken that is crispy on the outside and so moist on the inside - the same with pork chops - turkey fillets should not be cooked any other way, so moist - and of course all the other prepackaged food like tater-tots/french fries - chicken thighs - crispy vegetables.....
I have a one pot pressure cooker which is great for soup etc. I upgraded my air fryer and bought a Beko double air fryer which is well prices and comes with lots of extras with it including skewers. It's quieter than my old one and has the option to put two different things in and you press a button and they are ready at the same time. Oh and the baskets are dishwasher proof which my old one wasn't.
Thank you for bringing up the subject. I also need a new air fryer, and it's a "jungle out there." Your knowledgeable followers have provided some great suggestions for a good air fryer. As I mentioned, I follow your channel even though I live in Denmark and cannot buy the products you review, but in this case, I can participate. The recommended air fryers are also available in Denmark.
Whatever appliance you consider, firstly consider the bench top real estate it'll occupy. Most airfryers are Bulky, especially draw types. Happy shopping Gareth.
Replace the broken plastic bit, we done that on our Ninja Multi OP500UK as we love it for both pressure cooking and slow cooking (we have two of these, don't ask lol). When it comes to air frying, we have the 2 drawer Ninja AF400UK and love it, but then there is only the two of us so it suits. Mate of mine down the road from you in Barrow (We'll call him Tall Brian) has just go the Ninja with the big Drawer that you can split into two AF500UK and loves it. My Mum got the Ninja double stack SL400UK and hates it and has gone back to her older Ninja AF100UK, she's on her own and this is much better for her. Ultimately it comes down to personal choiceand what you expect to get from it. Excited /interested to see what you get though.
I was looking at that Ninja combo cooker the other day and thought to me self it doesn’t look too bad to be honest. You are right air fryers are not always suitable for everything. Hope you find what suite you. To be fare you look as though you’ve got a good set up in your kitchen with the smaller oven in conjunction with the Ninja combo. I’ve got a small Ninja air fryer. I find it’s great for doing pukka pies in for example and fries etc. Just a matter of choosing the right setting I find. All the best
Hi Gareth. We have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp with pressure cooking and air frying, and the Instant Pot Vortex. Love them both and they are much cheaper than Ninja but have been excellent. The Vortex is used by my daughters straight after school every day.
Hi Gareth, glad to see you doing research. We bought a very cheap supermarket air fryer at first just to see what they can do. We were impressed, so we did our research. There are only us two as our children have now flown the nest. We decided on the Ninja Speedi. It has ten functions and suits us fine. We can cook a whole small chicken. It can roast, bake, and slow cook. We can cook a whole meal in it, for example recently we cooked pork loin, potatoes and two veg. It all cooked perfectly. You may find it too small for your family but it is worth checking out . My wife was a professional cook before retiring and found it easy to adapt to the Speedi and likes using it very much. It is also far, far cheaper than using our modern fan oven. It has certainly reduced our electricity bill. Hope you find this useful.
Good luck picking a new one, I don't have one so can't really help recommend etc, that smaller oven you have looks great tho. Jaw looks like its healing up nicely, keep up the great videos, cheers
Cosori dual blaze it has heating element top and bottom reduces need to turn food over being square basket much more versatile i love using this i have cosori pressure cooker and ninja foodi max15 in 1 i definitely use both cosori ones more.
I got a Ninja dual jobby and it's been great, only the smaller one but can get whole medium chickens stuffed in there and done in 56~ mins. Has Bake and Dehydrate setting too which is nice.
Just as a heads up , Currys has a trade in offer running at the moment until August on some of the Ninja air fryers. ,you can get around £25 off the ticket price if you trade in any old electrical appliance ,it can be a kettle ,iron etc . Just thought this info would be helpful .
Still using all my stuff as started with my Halogen oven for cooking my meat joints and roasting chicken. Pkp 3ltr as stuff sticks to it Rice pudding , Philips Air fryer for my chips and onion rings while the steak is cooking in the Halogen oven. My cousin was thinking of getting an air fryer and i bought her a Halogen oven years ago and not sure if used much. As you said Oven is old might you be replacing it with another one that also has an Air fryer mode.? as less of us are using ovens now due to the amount of energy used and everybody told to buy an air fryer. The latest add coming on phone is everybody ditching air fryers to use the halogen oven. Very like years ago from vinyl records to cds and now back to vinyl again. I am lucky as have a shelf in passage way to store my units and when needed brought into kitchen. All depends on what you need to cook and the space needed.. Dont worry if you buy the wrong item we will let you know. SPOT ON.
My first air fryer was a Cosori but I have the ninja dual zone 9.5L and I love it but I would go back to the Cosori Dual zone if I had to replace my ninja. The Cosori turboblaze or the Dual Blaze are good if you like the oven style air fryer Cosori do the air fryer oven. I also have the ninja speedy which I really like, (but don’t use as often) if I am doing a pasta dish with chicken, the idea is cook pasta or rice dish at bottom and cook your meat on the top shelf so all your meal is ready all at once, you just press the speedy meal button. Hope you find the best air fryer for you
Cosori duel blaze , fantastic piece of kit , heats from below as well so better even cooking and no need to turn things over and shake chips 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 and good luck with your sobriety bud , wish you all the best ❤️
Have an instant pot which I presume is similar in what it does to yours. It is fine on the whole for two but difficult to cook whole meal other than one pot recipes. If I could I would buy an airfrier as well that has 2 drawers so could cook bigger variety of meals with the drawers one on top of the other so saves space in kitchen. Obviously has to be easily washable too.
It'll be of interest to me I'm also in the market for a new air fryer,and what ever you have I'll have the same, I really trust your word,many thanks for your honesty, Terry
I picked up a Daewoo branded air fryer from £19.99 from Farmfoods at the start of the year, it's the big glass bowl type with a halogen lamp in the top, it's absolutely fantastic. I've seen the same halogen air fryer with different brand names and various prices, I can't fault it, very basic temp/clockwork timer but hands down is the best of the 3 (fancy electronic, bucket types) I've owned previously.
Hi Gareth, Firstly may i say you are looking very well. This is a very relevant video. I have thought about buying one but there's so many out there i don't know where to start. Something i will look at when i get time. Looking forward to future videos from you on this and i will follow your advice. (no pressure) Ha Ha. Stevie in Fife.
Have a look at the Ninja Woodfire XL outdoor BBQ / air fryer and reclaim some counter space. Just bought one and it’s ace for hassle free midweek BBQ. Have used the air fryer function a good few times as well. Has bags of real estate for coming. Coming up to the right time of year also! It’s pricey but I’ve smoked ribs, briskets and chickens with no issues.
I just bought the Philips essential XL and more than happy with it, in fact it's superb! I guess the question is what kind of things are you looking to cook in it? That Ninja one you have is great for whole chickens especially in the pressure cooker but if you're looking for one for things like chicken breasts, chips, chops etc then the Philips one is excellent imo.
We have almost everything that Ninja make! We love the 15 in 1 smartlid, the air fryer grill & the multi oven most. Our old traditional oven is used as a food cupboard now.
Ģet a dual drawer. Make sure you can take the crisper bit out to cook in the drawer. My old Corsori the handle is attached so you cant take the crisper bottom out.
I can't wait to see what you get, and then what you think of it. I especially am thinking myself, of maybe getting one of them small bench ovens like yours, but I haven't a clue what to get.
I'm seriously considering buying one. I have used a mini oven for years and they are great, the model I have now has an air fryer setting but I haven't really used it. My friend showed me her air fryer and it has a couple of shelves in it like an oven instead of the drawers in the front and looked easy enough to use, the reviews were quite positive except a common complaint was that the shelves aren't very secure. I've recently watched Jamie Oliver doing air fryer meals and he uses different types and makes it look so easy. Sometimes it's the worst thing to ask for opinions because everyone thinks their own is the best! My only problem is I have a small kitchen and need the bench space and I have no room to store a big appliance. I'd still like to try one though although it would be just another method of cooking along with the main oven and mini oven, I don't think I'd be using it exclusively. I'm in Australia and never heard of one combined with a pressure cooker, I've never used a pressure cooker! Hope you find the model for you 😊
I have been using a Halogen oven for about 20 yrs ( not the same one from new) and once you learn and remember the cooking times it's perfect. A lot more economically priced than the latest Air Fryers and very easy to clean.

I just bought the cheapest which made the job choosing a bit less stressful lol
Cosori dual air fryer! The sync functionality is absolutely great.
I have the sync function on my Instant versazone and it's great,no need to watch the time till your ready to put something else in the other drawer
A couple of years ago I gave in to people telling me I needed an air fryer so purchased the cheapest one I could find (£30 from asda) and it was a revolution for me! It cuts cooking time by 40%ish , is super easy to clean and cooks loads of the things I like very well indeed.
I am now desperate for it to break down so I can go buy one of those two drawer ninjas but the bloody thing just keeps going and going.
Nice one!
cosori air fryer is what you want, brilliant bit of kit
I love my Cosori. I use it almost everyday. 👍
Is that the one with the turning chip basket?
Which model / size?
I have the dual blaze. Nice size basket. I upgraded from their 5.5L and gave that to my parents.
I haven’t got one of these but this is the next one I’ll buy.
I'm looking for an air fryer myself and one of my biggest considerations is a safe non-stick coating in the interior. It's surprising how many of these machines have dangerous non-stick coatings.
@@ellesmerewildwood4858 I agree, I don't want to cook food in plastic.
Bought a Ninja Foodi Dual a few months ago, never done me any wrong. Definitely recommend.
Cheers John
Yep ! i have the Ninja AF300UK great machine it's a dual one also,one of my best purchases 🙂
Mine has replaced my gas oven use by about 90% over the last 6 months . No complaints with it at all.
@@GG-ml3vr My main oven hasn't been used for over a year now because of air fryer ! just been switched off.
Have to say the same I done use my oven anymore, however I cook for no more than 3 and use my hob 👍🏼 hope that’s helpful 😊
I bought the ninja combi and I love it , I haven't used my oven since. It does everything including cooking pasta and baking cakes, steaming veg etc
Ninja Foodi 15 in1, for me is excellent. I've made pies, cakes, roasted meats, it is well worth the money, so much so, that I barely use my oven. I've also got a Hysapienta counter top 22L airfryer oven, which for about £140 has been a great buy and it makes great pies, you can even do a rotisserie chicken in it!
I don't know much about air fryers, but my favourite cooking accessory is a Slow cooker. Very cheap to run, even if it's on 8 hours.
I`ve got both and can highly recommend an air fryer. I`ve had mine 2 months now and in month 1 it saved me £26 on my Electric bill and it only cost me £58. They`re perfect for single people or doing bits and pieces if you`ve got a family.
i found the crock pot did not cook potatoes well even after 6 hours the meat was tender but the spuds were hard,so i got an instant pot which can slow cook as well, but never use that function and the meat and spuds are perfect
@@debeeriz I think you need to cut the potatoes a bit smaller. I don't usually cook pots in the slow cooker as I like them roasted, but I put other root veg in with pork or chicken, and they cook perfect. I cooked some pork shoulder steaks in cider and an oxo cube with leeks, swede and carrots and it made my mouth have an orgasm.
Very different ways of cooking, Crock pots just give you hot mush after half a day of waiting, air fryers can cook pretty much anything in 1% of the time
I use a Cosori dual blaze. It's brilliant. I do like that Sage tabletop oven you use. It sounds perfect. There's always updated appliances coming out. Lakeland have a good selection. I definitely agree with one of your subscribers' comments suggesting you approach the companies to review their products. We'd love to see your honest reviews. Thanks Gareth 👍
You're welcome 😊
Just relying on an; "Air Fryer" would never do for me! I cook four meals a day; Breakfast, Dinner, Tea, and Supper, with my mid-day Dinner being my main meal of the day. For that, I have always used my Gas Cookers; High-level Grill for toasting stuff, four mid-Gas Burners for all my multiple Pots and Pans, and the bottom Gas Oven for all my Roasting! To time everything correctly for the meal I need 3-4 saucepans on the go, with Boiled Potatoes, Boiled Fresh Vegetables, and Boiled Gravy, with a spare burner for warming my Dinner Plates placed over the grill. Meat/Pies, etc, will go in the Gas oven for however long it takes to roast, and everything has to be "timed" independently! I cannot imagine a single "Air Fryer" being able to perform all those separate timings and temperature requirements! My trusty Gas Cooker and Kitchen Timer are on the go, all day long, serving all my daily needs! As long as the Gas Man supplies me with Gas, I am a Happy Bunny!.....LOL...😊....😊....!

People pounced on airfryers etc to cut rising cost of electricity and gas. Have found them cheaper and faster to use. Heard a lot about a Kafree/Cafree? recently.
Rik the back yard chef has some smashing results with the HySemptia oven, it looks and performs like it's a decent bit of kit. Air fry / oven and it might be grill as well.
I considered buying an airfryer but they were so small.
I eventually settled on a halogen oven which has a 12 litre capacity or 17 litre with the expander ring.and for under £40 was much cheaper too.
Another advantage is the glass bowl and lid so you can see the food cooking [or burning]
It cooks a whole pizza, whole chicken plus vegetables or chips at the same time.
My halogen is excellent but my small air fryer is great too.
I love my halogen too. We got it at the good food show and it’s fabulous. I wouldn’t swap it
i dumped the glass halogen cooker once i got the airfryer, takes up too much space and was messy to cook with
@@debeerizthough I never had a glass halogen cooker granted my slot in electric cooker has halogen hotplates and fan oven to be honest I find halogen hotplates easier to keep clean than solid sealed electric hotplates 😊
Had a halogen. Binned it after I got my second airfryer. Not as good. It was great though, but air fryer “blows” it away.
I love my cosori dual blaze, it's a great bit of kit...and it warms pies to perfection😊
I just recently watched a video about airfryers. Both the side-by-side, and the stacked variation. The lady in the video after some deliberation, picked the side-by-side one. Based over many perhameters.
Cheers Richard
Eh, it's always a question of where to put a new addition. I live in an apartment with a walk-through kitchen, and there isn't a lot of counter space. Got a toaster oven, a microwave, and a rice cooker -- that filled it up. Was gifted a pasta machine, and it sent me into a tizzy -- where to put it? It would be nice to have an air fryer and a slow cooker, but... Oh, and the cupboard's full of stuff, too.
Hi Gareth, if your keeping your ninja for the pressure cooking part and you only want an air fryer, i can recommend the Cosori dual blaze as it's got an element on the bottom as well as the top. Also it's got a crisper tray in the bottom instead of a basket inside so it's a lot easier to clean.
Thanks for the tip!
I have a Ninja Foodie XL, and one of the Sage Cookers.( Influenced by your Good Self) My Ninja can cook 6 burgers, or a whole Chicken, with Potatoes. The Sage is Awesome for Cakes, Pies, and does the Best Toast and Crumpets ever..
Cosori, removable basket, perfect pies and pasties. Does everything, I’ve not used my oven in 18 months since getting my air fryer.
We have just bought an Integrated double oven from Zanussi that's also got an Air fryer in it .
That could replace your existing Oven ,it's ideal as its great for our small Kitchen and leaves more space on the Work tops
I have a Halogen and do pies, fish, chips, roast chicken etc etc. I also have an Instant Pot which is an electric pressure cooker with a saute function so you can fry your onion, garlic, meat etc before throwing everything else in there before pressure cooking. Very quick - I make an authentic Paella in 20 mins. So much choice out there. x
Mine is Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Dual Air Fryer 10.4L. I love it and use the sync function regularly.
Hi. Never owned one. Not one on my list. But, still interested which one you go for. Lovely to see you back with a smile! Good luck in your search! 💕
Hey, thanks!
I don't use airfryers but i would recommend one without plastic inside. Doesn't sound too safe when heating to high temps.
Good luck. There are drawer ones, basket ones, and ones with rotisserie options. One drawer or two drawers side by side or stacked. One I saw had a steam clean function, others non stick, or soak to get the residue off. Some had windows, others did not, and finally high powered, medium or low powered. Dn't forget the size either! Rather you than me as I haven't bothered with an air fryer!
Strong recommend Cosori. Simple, effective and customer services have been absolutely bob on replacing things that Ninja have dragged heels on.
Cheers pal 👍
i went with the small af100 ninja as i live alone and it fits away perfectly in my kitchen cupboard. cooks things i need and saves me using my oven. the new stacked af looks pretty cool guess it depends how many you're cooking for
Anyone considering the Sage oven, bear in mind there are two models, your one has the air fryer facility but the one I bought doesn’t.
I'm fairly new to air fryers, having got my first one earlier this year. I decided to go with an in-house brand from a catering equipment company called Nisbets. Ended up with a 6.5 litre one for 80 quid which is built like a tank lol. It has fairly simple controls, which is fine with me.
air fryers are good but notice how much nicer the food tastes if i cook in the normal oven rather than the airfryer but they have their place for convenience
Yes good point Mark that is
@@markparsons5497 ninja incorporates roast bake function
We have recently bought what looks like an updated model of your existing one.
As you say, a minefield. Depends on what you want it do, and how much you want to spend.
Cosori dual blaze cooks pastries beautiful on the bottom no need for turning over as it has a heating element at the bottom as well as the top
I could watch you all day long, it’s your mannerisms 🤣🤣!! Every time you say pie I laugh lol! Just one of them people xx keep being you
You're very welcome thank you. Have a good one 👍
Hi i have the Cosori dual blaze i can do 2 Aldi frozen sausage rolls in about 12 minutes (always check my food with a temp probe) 2 large jacket spuds 10 mins in the microwave 10 mins in the air fryer to crisp up the skin also use pressure cooker for spuds then bang them in the air fryer till brown .It help when this fryer has heating elements top & bottom . I'm only cooking for one so i don't know what it be like cooking for larger family just depends what your making .(just as side note mine had a plastic smell for for a while but thats gone now ). Chips from frozen 10 mins and you don't need to shake them half way through.
They're perfect for what you do on the channel, i.e. cooking one thing at a time, and I must admit that I got hooked on mine, especially when electricity prices were going through the roof, but I think they have major drawbacks which have led to me using them less and less. One is that you can really only do one thing at a time, and we often need to do several things at once. For that reason I would say the ones with two drawers must be better. I found myself cooking the protein element, keeping it warm in the oven while I did the spuds. Not much point having the speed, temperature and electricity saving if you're still heating the oven. Another thing is noise. The ones I have are really noisy and I like to listen to music while I'm cooking.....shush! If I got another one it would have two drawers!
A couple of years ago my pressure cooker packed in so I decided to buy an Instant Pot so I got the one with the two separate lids,air fry and pressure cook,I liked the way it performed so much I bought the 5.7 Ltr Instant Vortex Air Fryer with the window in the drawer,I then decided to get another one and bought the 8.5 Ltr Instant Versazone with the big single drawer that you can divide into two separate drawers,they are now the only way I cook food,I would like an air fryer oven but I have no room for it,my oven is now a cupboard for air fryer accessories,each to his own Gareth but I can't see by the ''Instant Brand'',good luck with whatever you pick big pal and you're looking great by the way
I'd suggest getting one of the ones with one large drawer that can be divided in 2 when you need to cook 2 different things. The ones with 2 separate drawers are I think too small. We have an "Instant" one, which we got from Argos a year or so ago. With the single huge drawer it will cook any sized whole chicken if required. The drawer ones are easier to get stuff out of than the top-loading ones and fit better under cupboards as well.
I have a Ninja Duo Airfryer & have had it since it came out . Absolutely love it , has various programmes even dehumidify 's . Love it . Depemds what worktop space you have as it will not be something you stick in a cupboard between uses
I hear the chefree on Amazon are good with dual baskets, sync function and windows with lights inside so you dont have to open the thing to see how your food is coming along. Not got one myself but watched a review and it looked great and very reasonably priced!!
Been looking at air fryers since the fad started, but decided they just do the same thing as one of those rotary health fryers that I bought during the last fad.
Got the Breville Halo+ and like the air fryer, it does some things well but others not so much. Great for chips, though to make them tumble rather than just slide, you have to cut them into cubes rather than strips. Fantastic for chicken wings too. Reminds me, I've got some in the fridge that need eating.
Probably a bit awkward for pies.
Thank you
Hi Gareth. I don’t personally own an air fryer however I follow someone on TH-cam called The Dinner Lady. Both her and her husband cook some delicious meals. She has many different kitchen gadgets including the Ninja air fryer. But the one she uses all the time and seems to love is the Cosori air fryer. I hope this helps x
Cheers yes she is a great cook isn't she. It's a minefield to choose one. X
She's a great cook❤😊
@@BaldFoodieGuygreat upload could you possibly do a review of your washing machine please i have Austim and love washing machines it ok if not
@@Fishyman543 Just go hang out at a laundromat.
Ninja Foodie Max Pro will give you so many more options for your channel. Not cheap, but you will have an air fryer, hot plate, grill and griddle covered along with temperature sensor cooking.
Like you Gary, I bought a multifunction Ninja A/F about a year ago. Its only drawback is its size. Limiting.
So I bought a Ninja Duel recently, and I have to say I can now cook using both together. Its quick and
still economical. Our built in oven rarely used. Pies are quite easy if you use the rack so that hot air cooks
underneath, same with quiche lorraines etc...great results. The Duel is great for steaks, sausages etc.
We I first married we moved into a house that the previous owner had left the built in oven. I was at work one day when my wife phoned me saying the oven had caught fire because of all the grease that had been packed behind the fan. The fire brigade came ripped out the oven threw it in our yard then we bought a stand alone cooker. My Air Fryer was a Christmas present it was made by Tower and came with a grilling plate. So we could air fry and Grill on the same device.
I'm thinking of getting a new air fryer too & am looking at one of the ones that has the flexi-drawer where you can have it as 2 seperate zones or one big drawer for big joints and casserole dishes etc.
Cosori dual blaze Gaz, the only one with top and bottom elements, only 300mm wide. I cook everything in them, even curries. That good I have two. If you have any problems, Cosori sorts it out quickly. I also have the same Sage oven as you, which I only use now for toasting. I mainly use dual blaze, pressure cooker and Sage combi air fryer microwave. The cooker and hob is redundant.
I've got the same SAGE as you, and I love it too. Recently purchased a drawer air fryer from B&M for £39.99 manufactured by TOWER. Love it! Use it every day. It's very basic, no digital screens, just twist knobs, one for timer and one for temperature (less to go wrong). The drawer can go in the dishwasher.
We have the big Ninja, we found the same with pies and stuff like that. Sunday joints are done in it perfectly every week. So we bought a salter twin drawer. We added the silicon liners and grill wire racks from Amazon. We use it almost everyday, reheating croissants etc. it does bacon and burgers a treat. Pies perfectly. Having both means the oven is only used like you for Xmas day.
Sounds great!
I have a Ninja and for pies, eg Pukka pies etc., I generally turn the heat well down from what they say or it'll burn the crust, maybe 170c or lower. I use a probe thermometer to check when it's cooked through.
Cosori all the way , especially with a square or rectangle basket , round baskets are just not good when you have to do bacon or square slice , sausage rolls , etc , I always cook between 10% -15% under the cooking and heating times , and it works out great , quick 1 minute blast at the end for crispiness if needed
We had Halogen cookers for years, which were great. However, they took up a lot of room and were a pain to keep clean.
We have now got an air fryer called 'Uten', which we bought off the 'jungle' website. It works pretty much like a halogen oven, but without the fragile 'bulb'.
The genius bit, is that it has a rotisserie basket which does cracking chips and things like chicken wings etc.
Best bit was it was only about eighty odd quid, and has been running perfectly for a couple of years now!
I have two Cosori's , the dual basket is brilliant , at the end of the day they all have a heating element and a fan , then you get the turbo blaze , no need to pre heat element's top and bottom. It's all about budget and the room you have never seen any reviews on the stacking version.
After 2 tower ones each went faulty within 8 months I'd never have another, argos refunded us and we got the Ninja double 4.5 litre drawer version and never looked back. For those interested both tower ones stopped cooking evenly in the right side basket. The first lasted 3 months and the replacement lasted 5 months.
Whatever make you get I recommend a dual basket air fryer. I have a oven air fryer similar to yours and a dual basket Air Fryer and I never use the main gas oven anymore.👍
I've got a slow cooker at home Gareth. But, if I take her for a night out, she speeds up a bit.😁👍
Cheers Ian
Has she got a rotisserie function, they can be more expensive to maintain but in for a penny in for a pound.
I recommend the Tefal airfryer, it's called the Genius XL 2 in 1, with a large bottom bowl and a smaller upper bowl, you can time either of the bowls, or both. The bottom bowl also revolves with a stirrer, if you want, so you don't need to turn the chips, etc. I love mine!
Ninja af500 - 3 zones to cook in, left, right, and remove the partition and open up the two baskets into one big one. Also good at sync cooking, say your chips take 20mins and something else 10mins, you can sync it so when the chips get to 10mins the other basket then kicks in, plus other things it can do.
I went with a De’Longhi Multifry, because it has a removable rotating paddle that can stir the food, top and bottom heating elements, and can also slow cook which is great with the stirring paddle for soups, stews, currys, etc.
My wife bought a Ninja IG601 Foodi XL 7-in-1 Electric Indoor Grill Combo. It's bakes, broils, air frys, dehydrates, grills etc. She uses it a lot and loves it.
I recon the ninja 12 in 1 multicooker looks good with steam function. Although I’ve just bought a tower vortex elite from Tesco and it’s bloody brilliant for the price, it’s just a two basket one no pressure cooking etc
I recently bought a cosori dual blaze with a burner on the bottom, and we love it, no flipping
Whole chicken in a roasting bag, one hour at 180c perfect
Looked at replacing our Ninja 15-1 because it started to burn pies. Decided to keep it for slow / pressure cooking. Saw this demo on Consori and Chefree and decided to but the Chefree. Very pleased two baskets and lights to see the cooking and sync cooking. No regrets
Thank you
Have a large capacity Gourmia (drawer/basket style) and if something happened to it i would hope to replace it with the exact same thing - my experience with the Sage type has been disappointing - particularly with the heating elements on the bottom it really is useless - basically a glorified toaster oven and i don't consider it an air fryer as the results are just not the same
A "real" air-fryer makes a whole chicken that is crispy on the outside and so moist on the inside - the same with pork chops - turkey fillets should not be cooked any other way, so moist - and of course all the other prepackaged food like tater-tots/french fries - chicken thighs - crispy vegetables.....
I have a one pot pressure cooker which is great for soup etc. I upgraded my air fryer and bought a Beko double air fryer which is well prices and comes with lots of extras with it including skewers. It's quieter than my old one and has the option to put two different things in and you press a button and they are ready at the same time. Oh and the baskets are dishwasher proof which my old one wasn't.
Sounds great!
thanks glad your giving advice on air fryers , thinking about getting one
Glad I could help
We bought a Tower T17100 double draw and it’s brilliant!. Easy to work and clean, great video mate!. X
Thanks 👍
Thank you for bringing up the subject. I also need a new air fryer, and it's a "jungle out there." Your knowledgeable followers have provided some great suggestions for a good air fryer. As I mentioned, I follow your channel even though I live in Denmark and cannot buy the products you review, but in this case, I can participate. The recommended air fryers are also available in Denmark.
You are so welcome!
I don’t have a recommendation on an air fryer but I think you’re awesome. You’re very good at your channel. Thank you from Canada.❤
You are so welcome!
Whatever appliance you consider, firstly consider the bench top real estate it'll occupy. Most airfryers are Bulky, especially draw types.
Happy shopping Gareth.
Cheers John hope you're well pal
I've got the Sage oven/air fryer. A brilliant all rounder, just a bit of a bugger to clean.
Replace the broken plastic bit, we done that on our Ninja Multi OP500UK as we love it for both pressure cooking and slow cooking (we have two of these, don't ask lol).
When it comes to air frying, we have the 2 drawer Ninja AF400UK and love it, but then there is only the two of us so it suits. Mate of mine down the road from you in Barrow (We'll call him Tall Brian) has just go the Ninja with the big Drawer that you can split into two AF500UK and loves it.
My Mum got the Ninja double stack SL400UK and hates it and has gone back to her older Ninja AF100UK, she's on her own and this is much better for her.
Ultimately it comes down to personal choiceand what you expect to get from it.
Excited /interested to see what you get though.
I was looking at that Ninja combo cooker the other day and thought to me self it doesn’t look too bad to be honest. You are right air fryers are not always suitable for everything. Hope you find what suite you. To be fare you look as though you’ve got a good set up in your kitchen with the smaller oven in conjunction with the Ninja combo. I’ve got a small Ninja air fryer. I find it’s great for doing pukka pies in for example and fries etc. Just a matter of choosing the right setting I find. All the best
Thank you
Hi Gareth. We have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp with pressure cooking and air frying, and the Instant Pot Vortex. Love them both and they are much cheaper than Ninja but have been excellent. The Vortex is used by my daughters straight after school every day.
Hi Gareth, glad to see you doing research. We bought a very cheap supermarket air fryer at first just to see what they can do. We were impressed, so we did our research. There are only us two as our children have now flown the nest. We decided on the Ninja Speedi. It has ten functions and suits us fine. We can cook a whole small chicken. It can roast, bake, and slow cook. We can cook a whole meal in it, for example recently we cooked pork loin, potatoes and two veg. It all cooked perfectly. You may find it too small for your family but it is worth checking out . My wife was a professional cook before retiring and found it easy to adapt to the Speedi and likes using it very much. It is also far, far cheaper than using our modern fan oven. It has certainly reduced our electricity bill. Hope you find this useful.
Yes ninja aye good arnt they just 2 of you so spot on.
Good luck picking a new one, I don't have one so can't really help recommend etc, that smaller oven you have looks great tho.
Jaw looks like its healing up nicely, keep up the great videos, cheers
Cheers
Cosori dual blaze it has heating element top and bottom reduces need to turn food over being square basket much more versatile i love using this i have cosori pressure cooker and ninja foodi max15 in 1 i definitely use both cosori ones more.
I got a Ninja dual jobby and it's been great, only the smaller one but can get whole medium chickens stuffed in there and done in 56~ mins. Has Bake and Dehydrate setting too which is nice.
Just as a heads up , Currys has a trade in offer running at the moment until August on some of the Ninja air fryers. ,you can get around £25 off the ticket price if you trade in any old electrical appliance ,it can be a kettle ,iron etc . Just thought this info would be helpful .
Thanks
Still using all my stuff as started with my Halogen oven for cooking my meat joints and roasting chicken. Pkp 3ltr as stuff sticks to it Rice pudding , Philips Air fryer for my chips and onion rings while the steak is cooking in the Halogen oven.
My cousin was thinking of getting an air fryer and i bought her a Halogen oven years ago and not sure if used much.
As you said Oven is old might you be replacing it with another one that also has an Air fryer mode.? as less of us are using ovens now due to the amount of energy used and everybody told to buy an air fryer.
The latest add coming on phone is everybody ditching air fryers to use the halogen oven. Very like years ago from vinyl records to cds and now back to vinyl again.
I am lucky as have a shelf in passage way to store my units and when needed brought into kitchen. All depends on what you need to cook and the space needed..
Dont worry if you buy the wrong item we will let you know. SPOT ON.
I always find combination devices a pain in the ass bro. I have a basic wind up timer, still not cheap but easy and reliable 👍
To 'Pellets' question,
It is a ProBreeze 12L airfryer oven.
Perfect timing, I had earlier today decided to upgrade our air fryer, so I am very interested to see what people recommend.
Hope you like it!
My first air fryer was a Cosori but I have the ninja dual zone 9.5L and I love it but I would go back to the Cosori Dual zone if I had to replace my ninja. The Cosori turboblaze or the Dual Blaze are good if you like the oven style air fryer Cosori do the air fryer oven.
I also have the ninja speedy which I really like, (but don’t use as often) if I am doing a pasta dish with chicken, the idea is cook pasta or rice dish at bottom and cook your meat on the top shelf so all your meal is ready all at once, you just press the speedy meal button.
Hope you find the best air fryer for you
the ninja one with the big single drawer and one handle, it’s the most expensive but it’s brilliant.
Really looking forward to seeing your new project on the air fryer ❤👌
Cosori duel blaze , fantastic piece of kit , heats from below as well so better even cooking and no need to turn things over and shake chips 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 and good luck with your sobriety bud , wish you all the best ❤️
Have an instant pot which I presume is similar in what it does to yours. It is fine on the whole for two but difficult to cook whole meal other than one pot recipes. If I could I would buy an airfrier as well that has 2 drawers so could cook bigger variety of meals with the drawers one on top of the other so saves space in kitchen. Obviously has to be easily washable too.
It'll be of interest to me I'm also in the market for a new air fryer,and what ever you have I'll have the same, I really trust your word,many thanks for your honesty, Terry
Cheers Terry
I have just purchased the ninja foodi combi oven and I absolutely love it.
And it does pies really well lol
I picked up a Daewoo branded air fryer from £19.99 from Farmfoods at the start of the year, it's the big glass bowl type with a halogen lamp in the top, it's absolutely fantastic. I've seen the same halogen air fryer with different brand names and various prices, I can't fault it, very basic temp/clockwork timer but hands down is the best of the 3 (fancy electronic, bucket types) I've owned previously.
Hi Gareth,
Firstly may i say you are looking very well.
This is a very relevant video. I have thought about buying one but there's so many out there i don't know where to start. Something i will look at when i get time.
Looking forward to future videos from you on this and i will follow your advice. (no pressure) Ha Ha.
Stevie in Fife.
Cheers feeling good
Have a look at the Ninja Woodfire XL outdoor BBQ / air fryer and reclaim some counter space. Just bought one and it’s ace for hassle free midweek BBQ. Have used the air fryer function a good few times as well. Has bags of real estate for coming. Coming up to the right time of year also! It’s pricey but I’ve smoked ribs, briskets and chickens with no issues.
I just bought the Philips essential XL and more than happy with it, in fact it's superb! I guess the question is what kind of things are you looking to cook in it? That Ninja one you have is great for whole chickens especially in the pressure cooker but if you're looking for one for things like chicken breasts, chips, chops etc then the Philips one is excellent imo.
Nice one mate cheers
We have almost everything that Ninja make! We love the 15 in 1 smartlid, the air fryer grill & the multi oven most. Our old traditional oven is used as a food cupboard now.
Ģet a dual drawer. Make sure you can take the crisper bit out to cook in the drawer. My old Corsori the handle is attached so you cant take the crisper bottom out.
I can't wait to see what you get, and then what you think of it. I especially am thinking myself, of maybe getting one of them small bench ovens like yours, but I haven't a clue what to get.
Same here lol
I'm seriously considering buying one. I have used a mini oven for years and they are great, the model I have now has an air fryer setting but I haven't really used it. My friend showed me her air fryer and it has a couple of shelves in it like an oven instead of the drawers in the front and looked easy enough to use, the reviews were quite positive except a common complaint was that the shelves aren't very secure. I've recently watched Jamie Oliver doing air fryer meals and he uses different types and makes it look so easy. Sometimes it's the worst thing to ask for opinions because everyone thinks their own is the best! My only problem is I have a small kitchen and need the bench space and I have no room to store a big appliance. I'd still like to try one though although it would be just another method of cooking along with the main oven and mini oven, I don't think I'd be using it exclusively. I'm in Australia and never heard of one combined with a pressure cooker, I've never used a pressure cooker! Hope you find the model for you 😊
Thank you good luck
I have been using a Halogen oven for about 20 yrs ( not the same one from new) and once you learn and remember the cooking times it's perfect. A lot more economically priced than the latest Air Fryers and very easy to clean.
Thanks for the tips!
