My kitchen is long and narrow, quite an awkward shape really especially as one end of it is full of my son's large dishwasher.
Today I decided to sort the kitchen out, I was given a microwave but I never use it, so I've moved it to the other end of the kitchen, my daughter has offered to take it to the recycling centre next time she goes. Hopefully someone else can make use of it.
Moving the microwave means I have all three of my main appliances in a row. I have my slow cooker, air fryer and two ring hob side by side. The air fryer only arrived today, Steve used one at the flat but as he used it to heat up frozen food that had already been fried and never washed it, it used to stink the flat out.
I need to read up on what I can use my air fryer for, I'm hoping it's cheaper than using my oven. Which although it only has one shelf is a fairly big area to heat if I only want a jacket potato.
The air fryer came with some paper liners, the same sort I bought for Steve that he never used. I shall have a look online for suggestions about what I can cook.

You can use your airfryer for most things you would put the oven on for. I use mine to batch cook jacket potatoes and wrap them in foil to freeze. Fish and chips cook really well, and roast veg. I've made tray bake type cakes too. Have fun!
I cook jacket potatoes in my slow cooker too on low with a dash of olive oil
My friends were raving about their air fryers the other day. Saying they cook most everything in them and are always happy with the results. Hope you enjoy yours!
I don't have an air fryer, but use the microwave lots and also my small top cooker oven and grill.
The microwave is clean and quick, great jacket potatoes done in 3 mins and turn for 3, defrosts, warms up my tea that's gone cold and heats up cheese rolls and quiche. You can even bake cakes in it. Not forgetting
2min rice. I would be lost without my microwave
The micro is handy for jacket spuds, cook them in a few minutes, then use the air fryer to crisp them up on the outside side, I do my wedges in there too micro the spud first then wedge it oil them and into the air fryer on roast for a couple of minutes, saves a lot of time using both things. Google for an air fryer conversion chart to guide you on times and temperatures . I even do " boiled eggs" in the air fryer.They take a little longer than doing them in water but at least I don't have to faff around with boiling water and pan on the stove top or have the steam in my little kitchen. I make mash in my microwave too use Jacket potato setting then just scoop out and mash , no peeling no boiling on the stove again, there only two of us so it's ideal for small amounts.
I cook chicken pieces for my dog every night in the air fryer come out beautiful chicken drumsticks hot chips meat pattie home made from mince if i dont feel like using a pan fish fingers once in a blue moon
By the way you can get silicone liners for air fryer that you can wash so you're not buying new paper ones all the time. Just look up silicone liner on Amazon or ebay then add your air fryer make and model to the search and you'll find the ones that fit yours the best
