Anyone used an airfryer?
I want to cook sweet and sour chicken balls.
I found a good recipe for the sweet and sour and now want to do the balls. Eve this recipe must be mega calorie laden I don't have a deep fat fryer and don't really want to submerge my food in all that oil. Is an airfryer any good and will it cook chicken balls? macafee2 |

We were considering an air fryer to replace a deep fat fryer, mainly because they're messy. After looking into them we thought they were no better than a fan oven so didn't bother.

I do have to reduce cooking times, sometimes considerably with it. Have experimented too with reducing the temperature by around approx 10-20% (eg 160 degrees instead of 180). 10 minutes at 160 instead of 180 for 15, for some frozen chicken strips recently. Apparently you can make cakes with it too, even pizza, but it is too small for that lol.

Much faster to cook than a fan oven.
Faster to warm up. Much easier to clean than a fan oven (apart from the lid, needs stainless steel wool). More energy efficient. Fewer calories as any fat drops into the bowl. To keep food moist, spray with spray oil, several times during cooking. Recommended for people renting a place short-term as it saves the hassle and cost of having an oven professionally cleaned, to satisfy letting agent and recover deposit. Highly recommended for £30. |

Go on to YouTube, there is lots of info and recipes. Like others have said there’s limitations with them and batter is one of them as it needs deep frying

I've had a Tefal actifry for a few years now and cook all sorts with it. Experiment and you'll be fine 👍
