Gotta be honest, I do like this budget air fryer, but I think i'll upgrade soon, any suggestions for what air fryer to get would be appreciated, cheers Ingredients are above, recipe methods are here barrylewis.net/recipe/5-foods-that-are-better-in-an-air-fryer/

I have the tower, it has 3 slide in trays like a mini oven from tesco. I use it all the time for everything. You get a chicken rotisserie attachment with it to 👍

@@dacot27 Chicken attachment sounds awesome

[@Elwaves2925]

I don't know much about the types you can get but considering what you do, I'd go for one with a lot os space/compartments. I remember you having to fry things separately, one after the other, for a single meal before.

I got an air fryer for my birthday last September and love it. I have used my oven twice in that time, as my air fryer does everything else. As a disabled person, my air fryer is so much easier and safer to use; even though my oven is one made for wheelchair users with the door opening to the side. I have a bunch of reusable silicon baskets to make clean up easier and to also make lifting the foods out easier. These are a lifesaver as I can throw them in the dishwasher and then the actual air fryer never needs cleaning. Would love to make a video with you Barry about cooking as a disabled person, tips and tricks and gadgets. I do plan on doing one on my KZbin channel, but I believe it’s something your viewers would find interesting for those who aren’t disabled (I get asked often how I manage to cook as a wheelie living alone) and helpful for those who do have disabilities.

Cosori Dual Blaze is a hell of an aur fryer! From what I know it's the only one that hast two burners, at the top and the bottom, so you don't have to flip the food while cooking, And it's spacious enough to cook whole chicken of an impressive size in it

[@orientalmoons]

The cauliflower bites look good, I'm not sure enchiladas are better in the air fryer but I do think some things are. Anything like onion rings, spring rolls etc from a frozen packet are better because they don't have soggy spots like oven baked ones do. And those part baked bread rolls are great because you can just put them straight in, no faff of preheating and quicker than the oven. I do drop the temperature to about 160C so the middle gets heated thoroughly before the outside gets overdone

[@terribowles5085]

Yup, we use our instant pot (pressure cooker) and Air fryer for almost every meal, being able to do a pasta sauce in the instapot, then add noodles for a few more min for the kids dinners for a few days is such a time saver.

[@MrGrimsmith]

Yes, I definitely appreciate the air fryer recipes. I'm still learning the limits of mine. I bought one of the twin drawer Ninja ones as while there are 3 of us I'm the youngster at 50 so being able to do 2 things at once is better than having a larger capacity. Also the silicon liners are readily available and well worth using as you just pop them out to clean rather than needing to do the whole drawer all the time :)

Hi, I think that you really need to think what you want the air fryer for. I have three. A 12 litre cosori oven, this can give you a much bigger area than the basket type and bonus, you only need to wash the trays you used a quick wipe inside with a damp cloth. I also have a 24 litre oven, this does whole meals, for my family of three, sometimes 4, theres loads of them on amazon and I have a ninja speedy, which do whole meals for up to 4 meals, this a basket type and requires a tad more washing up.

I jumped on the Air Fryer bandwagon several years ago with an Instant Pot Vortex Plus. Although mine works great, I don't necessarily recommend one, as I think the company may not be great. I do recommend an oven shaped (square) air fryer, as it fits more neatly on counter. I love it for cooking hot dogs and sausages quickly the way I like: I like them getting little burnt dots on the outside. I've made fried chicken in it a few times, but (because I used a rather dry coating) it made a huge mess, with the air blowing all the coating everywhere. We got it to eat healthier, but it really just allowed us to make slightly better versions of less healthy foods lol. Like, I never ate frozen chicken tenders, fries, or all those premade appetizers before I got one. I think my husband uses it more than the microwave. I love my Instant Pot Duo bought many many years ago. It is so easy to use, you can brown your meat in it before slow/pressure cooking, you can go from dried beans to bean soup in about 45 minutes, you can make great soups/potatoes/ribs in it. Mine also does yogurt, but I've never tried. I even cook some types of pasta in it - rotini, elbow macaroni, ziti - in the sauce or soup.

[@MrJohnMDay]

Hey Barry, Yes Instant Pot is basically a pressure cooker, just a smart one (Awesome bit of kit BTW, Very versatile.). Anything that needs to be cooked for hours like a brisket can be done in half the time. You can saute the meat in the instant pot before cooking to get some browning going as-well, no need for a separate pan. Instant pot as a brand also make air fryers. I bought a double basket one after i had bought an Instant Pot Pressure cooker and both machines are well used in our house. I liked the idea of a double basket being able to separate different things and cook at different temps and times and still have both come out at the same time, the only downside is the baskets are slightly smaller than the single basket options. Instant pot was the first "Smart pressure cooker" i think and do both machines. Cosori is a respected brand in the Air fryer market and also Ninja, And i think both do smart pressure cookers now as-well. Personally i am happy with the Instant Pot brand so far, which Ive had and used for a couple of years now. I can recommend you invest in a Smart Pressure cooker as-well, not just to you Barry but anyone who cooks.

I love my Cuisinart digital convection air fryer. It has no Teflon or PFOAs so it’s less toxic than the Teflon lined ones. Thoroughly recommend it!

I'm pretty sure you could put a bowl or ramekin in the drawer to reduce the sauce without having to wash the drawer afterwards.

That Salmon looks stonkin! Digging out my air fryer!

When you get a new air fryer don't get one you have to preheat. I got Innsky 8QT Air Fryer Oven with 2 Baskets and use it daily. Can fit a whole chicken in one basket. It sync so both baskets done at same time.

The thing about air fryers is it really doesn't matter what brand of size you get, they're all doing the same thing. What it really boils down to is how big you need it for your portions you're cooking and how much you want to spend.

There are definitely quality differences between brands. Yeah, they all do the same thing, but they’re not all made the same.

One that will give rotisserie function, hysapientia which I have is so versatile, you can do anything, also instant pot which gives you the cooking meat without losing moisture, it makes great stir fry and really good mixed rice recipes in alot of the time 3 x as fast, and less washing up bonus hope this help with your choice.🤗

I have the Ninja toaster oven/air fryer. I have a small kitchen, so I opted for the fold-up model and I love it! It even opens on the bottom for easy cleaning. They make a taller version, which fits whole chickens. I’m in the US, so I’m not sure which models you’ll have available.

Ninja makes a large basket air fryer that you can divide into two smaller baskets. I find those are the most-flexible designs.

Instant make one like this too, called VersaZone. There's also a similar one by Duronic but it actually has separate drawers - you can swap between two smaller drawers or one big.

Great vid. Instant Pot is awesome so can definitely recommend trying that. It can do entry level sous vide and slow cook as well.

My husband upgraded our air fryer last year. We went from a basic like yours to the Ninja deluxe. It has air fryer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, dehydrator, oven. It basically has it all. Its very nice in the summer months. Gets hot here in the US. I do not like using the oven.

Could you do some desserts ideas in the air fryer? Any quick and easy sweet fixes when you need them asap! :)

[@berylharding9762]

I have one similar with single container and bought a silicone liner with divider from amazon for the odd occasion.

I got a 9” dual blaze Cosori air fryer. Cosori Air Fryer 6.8qt, Dual Blaze with 360 Thermoiq Tech - Using Upper and Lower Heating Elements for Precise Temperature Control and Even Cooking Results, No More Shaking and Preheating, Time-saving

[@crypthick]

This was a fantastic pitch. Happy for him!
