I heard Madam Kate has asked for a AK47 for Christmas so she can unleash at the family Sandringham shoot.

I love chix with guns.

Jacket Potatoes in an Air Fryer works very, very well.

What are chips like in an air fryer, if you've tried them?

ASDA are selling them for £32, and having just emptied and cleaned my deep fat fryer I'm tempted to get one. The big problem with DFFs is that once you've cooked chicken in them everything tastes of chicken!

I find big chunky fat chips do not work well in an air fryer, there is a degradation in taste but skinny chips (french fries) work well and I don't notice any degradation in taste.

Air fryers are incredible. We have two. The way the wife cooks the chips in the AF are just as good as deep fried.

I put my sausages and bacon in there also.... Top tip would be to cook on a lower heat for slightly longer.

I cook a lot of things at 170 in the air fryer.

Happy New Year Derek.

I've only just got the advice. I'll probably get on and use both, but in future I'll only cook chicken or fish in the DFF when it's nearing an oil change.

Which suggest the ASDA £32 job is a DON'T BUY.

Thanks for that advice greenmark. I've had my DFF for 15 odd years so it's probably worth spending a bit of money on a good air fryer if I'm gonna have it that long.

Be careful when doing fries, they are easily overcooked and become more like matchstick crisps!
