Does anyone have an airfryer?
Are they any good and can I buy one in Pattaya??

I will put that on my shopping list

So that's what those things are. I've been wondering what they were for ages whenever I see one.

I just bought a Tefal air fryer from Central in Pattaya for 6,990 baht.

lets see some results then Kurgen.

What About The Tefal Air Fryer? | Air Fryers

Here's the one I bought at a much cheaper price than I paid!

Edit, looks like I paid the right price for the one I got afterall.

According to the write up they are great for chips. I'm going to try frozen chips tonight but will do fresh ones next time and will get back to you.

I do a type of oven chip in mine. Parboil a thick cut spud and then spray with oil and bung in the oven for 20mins of full whack. I prefer the result done this way than deep frying.

I decided to go for fresh chips and they, like me, are lovely.

got the tefal actifry; cost about 6 grand here
its pretty good for meat and veg so far

I've got two of those Otto's (don't ask why) Make fantastic Yorkshire puddings.
I've just got into making pizzas and they work a treat.

Deffo should be on your shopping list...

your yorkshire puddings looks good...but the photo illustrates my chief complaint with these circular convection ovens.....bakery items end up weighted to one side....particularly cupcakes and muffins.

has anyone figured out a way to avoid this?

Oh Yes, never thought of making Yorky Puds with it.
What's your recipe?

Those Otto convection ovens are the bees bollox, every home should have one!

I think they look rather cute!

2 eggs, black pepper, salt. Whisk. Add milk. Whisk. Slowly add plain flour and keep whisking until it has a 'creamy' consistency. Cover with clean damp cloth, leave for an hour or so at room temp or shove in the fridge for an hour.
Heat oil until it's 'smoking.' Then add the mixture and cook at a seriously high temp.
Hope that helps.

my wife calls them platypus cupcakes

I find I need to parbake the pizza crust a bit of it ends up soggy. That is for proper man's pizza, not the girly cardboard crust ones.

^ Totally agree Marm...I pre-bake!

Makes nice roast pork and crackling.
