[@JoannaLamont333]

I love Sharon’s eye rolls. She really doesn’t need to say a word. Love it 😂 I fancy that noodles meal, but I’d give the roast chicken dinner a miss.

[@tecnogof]

The large tray, (Chicken dinner) is divided into three sections. You can cut the tray along where they join into three separate smaller individual trays, using scissors. Then arrange the smaller one's around the larger one that contains the main dish.

[@lorrainehamilton5051]

Love the straight talking! "We did bugger up (the peas)..." Telling it how it is, yeah! 😁

[@catherinetasker930]

Talk about Johnny and fanny craddock you two are a comedy team in the making 🤣

[@janetroberts2262]

You can always replace the plastic foil for tin foil for cooking so the food doesn’t dry out too much and it would be easy to open, stir and recover, and a foil pouch for the carrots and peas on the roast dinner. We will all learn as we go but you are highlighting some issues and coming up with solutions that we can all benefit from 😊❤

[@louisjames1062]

Hi Martin,’would love to see a typical butlers weekly shop. Like what do you look for, brands, foods and brands to avoid, even film it as your going round would be great

[@butlersempire]

Glad you like them!

[@briboy2009]

You two bounce off one another very well. Such a giggle, well done.😊

[@Paul_W.E_Ingham]

Definitely keep the film lids on next time. Both these items are budget (I've bought both in Poundland in the past), so you get what you pay for. Even so they are tasty. Maybe next time try the Air fryer with an up-market ready-meal to see if the quality suffers at all.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

I agree, you deserve a show of your own. There's no competition between the pair of you , but pure joy and laughter and very good ideas. Your friend from New Zealand.

[@butlersempire]

Thank you so much.

[@andylawrence7869]

I lifted the corners of a ready meal recently as instructed, shortly after could smell burning plastic. The fan had lifted it & it was stuck to the element. Good to hear Iceland giving air fryer instructions on some of their products, hopefully N America follows this lead.

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

You could also take the potatoes out, do that in the air fryer and the rest in the micro. The mayflower chicken gravy is gorgeous

[@melvinwhitehead8472]

WARNING. Don’t leave the plastic film on the tray. The fan above creates a strong enough draft to pull the film off some ready meal trays. This happened and the film stuck to heating element. We have now got the problem of trying to remove the film without damaging the element.

[@maevereynolds6344]

Thank you!!!! I'd been waiting to cook my dinner trying way too long to find the answer to this simple question & I was *so freaking hungry* lol Then i clicked this vid & there your comment was w an attention grabbing "WARNING" & everything, you angel 🥲😇

[@shazzabbegg9934]

Totally agree with you. So I removed the film and replaced it with foil. It worked out fab. 👍

[@Ashleighsmum1]

Could you put a rack on top of the meal to stop the film lifting off?

[@debradickson7816]

I think you’re both fabulous, love all the info you give us regarding food, air fryers etc… You both make me laugh out loud so much 😂 that I’m sure my neighbours thinks I’ve lost the plot.

Kershaws meals use to be a lot bigger and served in a metal tray my mum use to get them from Morrison's in the 80s. Going to try those noodles too they look well yummy.

[@annarthur6070]

They're tiny, not enough for an adult portion.

What a very genuine couple. Extremely likeable! I am sorry but that roast looks bloody lovely for the price! Thank you both. I look forward to catching up with your vlogs.

[@butlersempire]

Thank you! 😃

[@dronezoneessex5551]

Not related to this video but I've just discovered a great new use for my air fryer:) If you buy fish & chips and have them wrapped to bring home or have the old deliveroo delivery, they are often cool and a bit soggy when you get them home. A 3 minute burst at 200c in the air fryer heats and crisps them back up perfectly ( I have a dual so fish in one drawer, chips in the other). I'm not a youtuber so your welcome to show this on your wonderful channel 👍

[@butlersempire]

Great tip!

[@linkedinfred]

Had my air fryer for just three weeks. My go to channel for air fryer cooking. Keep up the great work!

[@butlersempire]

That is awesome!

[@AvaT42]

I am so happy to see this video! I was just on another vlog and she did two different pre-made frozen foods. But i wondered about you guys doing these too as you two always are more thorough with your testing and cooking for us, we can trust you and watch for ourselves what works.

[@DavidSmith-pr1xb]

[@ASH.......................1976]

I've had both of those before,they turned out just fine in the air fryer ,I know that salt and pepper chickens got a bit of a kick ! 👍

Love you two I’ve had to buy a new oven but I haven’t used it yet because I’ve also bought an air fryer it’s fabulous 👍🏼keep my oven for Xmas x

[@rhonddalesley]

I had to replace my oven of 20 years last year then got an air fryer and I’ve only put the main oven on half a dozen times or so since I bought it, it’s more like an expensive ornament that comes out at Christmas 😂

[@armastat]

My Oven has become the table that holds my Air Fryer.

[@vanguard1427]

i was in Iceland the other day i bought some southern fried chicken strips and on the back i was pleasantly surprised too see air fryer instructions and i used my air fryer and they was absolutely delicious best I've ever had

[@AvaT42]

I am in Ontario Canada and i have noticed that too lately, instructions for air fryer cooking slowly coming on different products.

[@ruthkletke]

Hi Sonia....I live in Alberta, Canada....I was trying to decide between a crock pot or an air fryer. I'm a young 75 yr old and a year ago had a house fire and lost everything but, my new house is finished and I'm trying to replace alot. I love homemade soups and chili etc and don't usually buy frozen ready made stuff. Maybe it's time to change. What do you think! 🤔

[@chasmcl42]

Nice one Martin and Sharon love these videos great laugh, but I've learned to watch them just before dinner 👍👍

Thanks Charlie👍

This just came up, and although I've watched it before, I had to watch you 2 pair of aces. God bless you ❤

[@brianmorrison9168]

Although I am not really a fan of ready meals, as there are three of us at home, I realise for many folk living by themselves, they can be brilliant. Surely though for some meals at least, there will also be a microwave option for cooking them as well as the longer conventional oven method .. this will certainly be less time than even the air fryer method.

Bought my airfryer 3 weeks ago, really wish I'd got one a long time ago! I watched your video when you roasted a pork joint and it gave me the courage to roast a joint in mine, it came out perfect and the crackling was amazing. Love your videos guys, you do make me smile. Thanks

[@butlersempire]

Thank you so much 😁

[@Walesbornandbred]

Yes you can put ready meals in an airfryer, I cut 5 to 10 minutes off the time. Most glass or tin dishes you buy should have the size printed on them. Just measure your fryer pan before you buy😂 My tip, get an airfryer with shelves if you are going to heat ready made meals, it's much easier than cutting them up😂 Kershaw is quite tasty but the potatoes are smaller than you think. If you are cooking these meals prick the plastic film beforehand do not remove it.

[@jessicabull4324]

I never knew you could actually do ready meals in an AF but especially for someone on their own that would be an ideal thing to do. Thank you both for an entertaining and informative video. I shall be following along.....

[@janetcovacic3141]

Love this - amazing that you can cook ready meals. I usually cook from scratch - shepherds pie, cottage pie, fish pie - all topped with mashed potato and a little cheese, chicken and steak pies - which I cook double and put one in the freezer. I am now disabled and have trouble keep moving around the kitchen so it helps to have some meals in the freezer to just pop in the oven as well as chops, chicken pieces burgers and chips. Thanks to this information I know I can cook these meals in the airfryer, hubby won't use a microwave because of radiation so we don't have one now. He is not happy about having an air fryer - I can't make him understand that it dosn't just fry food with oil - he says if I buy one he won't eat the food from it - he will cook his own. Hmmm - we will have to see about that - don't think that will last long! I love your videos and the banter between you both - bless Sharon she's very tolerant - lol.

[@butlersempire]

That's right, it doesn't fry food at all, it's basically a turbo mini oven.
