    Air Fryer Delights!-shepherds-pie-jpg

    First attempt at a Sheperd's Pie in the air fryer. Thanks to Headworx for the inspiration. I found some Lamb Oxo cubes on Lazada and used minced beef from Makro.
    It came out pretty well. A bit lambish, which was fine because the gf doesn't like lamb too much so this compromise suited us both.
    The potato topping browned more quickly than it might in a conventional oven, which left the carrots a little crunchy. I might parboil the carrots before adding them to the pie next time around.

    Air Fryer Delights!-spuds-jpg

    This one was for Topper. Parboil the spuds, drain and with the lid back n the pan give it a shake. All being well the spuds will get a little flaking around the edges. Sometimes it goes wrong and they crumble into mush.

    Then spray on a little oil and into the airfryer with a couple of large chicken legs.

    Those flaky bits crisp up nicely.

    Not bad for a first effort. TBH, not in the same league as spuds roasted in duck fat in a conventional oven, although probably the best in Nongbualamphu this week.

    Having got a few basics to work in the air fryer and being bored witless in deepest Isan I decided it was time to atempt bread. I don't recall ever having made bread before.

    Air Fryer Delights!-dough-jpg

    Step 1: make some dough and knead it until your arms fall off.
    Nothing fancy here, only all-purpose flour and standard baking yeast.

    Air Fryer Delights!-inthetin-jpg

    Step 2: Go away and read a couple of books while the dough rises. Then knead it briefly a second time and shape it for the tin. Cover and let it rise again. Then whack it in the air fryer for nearly 20 minutes.

    This is a new tin and a first effort so I wasn't too surprised that the doughball was smaller than the tin. I had expected it to be the other way around, that I'd have some dough surplus to requirements. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll adjust the quantities.

    Step 3: Admire the result. More like a large roll than a small loaf, it was at least edible.

    Overall it was a lot of work and a lot of cleaning up in the kitchen. On the other hand, I had naff all else to do and I know exactly what went into it. I was sufficiently pleased to have done it for myself and I'll definitely have another try soon.

    The potatoes look good!

    The 'Shepherds Pie'... I dunno, the purist in me... I mean what's next? A 'Cottage Pie' made with lamb and a beef Oxo cube?

    I've got a breadmaker that's never been out of the box. You're very welcome to it if ever you venture down to the bright lights of Korat.

    Shutree, green sent for your efforts and your spuds look very good. Aided by Google and YouTube, I've been experimenting with chips over the last few weeks and have come to the conclusion that we're up against it using local potatoes. However, the best combo I've come up with for airfryer chips with the least amount of effort are in the pic and they come out nice!

    Can't answer via repo (no ammo) but Talley's products like those chips and frozen mixed veg are in pretty much every supermarket here. But to be specific, I bought that bag from Big C Extra. Great products!

    They are good. I have a friend who uses hers every day. Well, her maid uses it, she eats the bread.
    Definitely a lot tidier than the DIY method. The kitchen was a disaster area, flour everywhere

    Here we have one Tesco and one Makro. The choices are pretty limited.

    ^ Talley's without doubt make the best peas in Thailand.

    Makro in Korat almost always have them, but it can be worth bulk buying of you use a lot!

    Bit of excess liquid there!

    It started here, but the idea ran so I decided to make a new thread.

    I am finding it a bit difficult to expunge that cottage pie from my minds eye.

    Re the parboiled spuds, great idea. How about parboiled, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with garlic, sea salt & rosemary, and airzapped? Sounds proper.

    That's basically something I did during recent chip-testing, but without fresh garlic. A lot of effort for what turned out to be a just ok end result, I was hoping they'd turn out great (like in the YouTube vids) and would have posted pics but we're back to square one: local potatoes aren't ideal for fries

    They are basically an electric, counter top convection oven. It accomplishes some of the crispness of deep frying , but not quite.
    It is very useful in many other ways and I use mine often, It warms up food almost as fast as a microwave, without making some thing like bread mushy. I bake my bread in it, then I store what I don't eat in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator.
    Well we all know abou bread after a few days. but with an airfryer I warm it up for 5 min, and it comes out as if it was just baked.
    Another advantage is baking without the use of a big oven, and heating up the house. or firing up a big oven for a meal just for two.
    If I would buy one , I would spend the extra money and get a good one, They come in different wattage , clean easier, lost longer, and have different functions.
    I have have the Ninja Foodie, but I am in the US if you are in thailand I am not sure what's available , with the pandemic I have not been there for a year. I looked on Lazada and did not see it there, but i saw many others
    And make sure it has a big enough basket to hold a whole chicken, if it does that it would be big enough to hold anything else you would want.

    Ok , so today I made Banana Bread in the airfryer, It took 30 minutes at 350F and then I put it back for 10 min at 300F.
    this time I used Almond flour for the first time, and though it tasted good the inside was not as firm as I would like, when I make it with flour, I also put crushed walnuts in it , and on the top I put sliced Almonds.

    you are absolutely right. Air fryers and for Heath conscious people who think they can make healthy chips.

    stop kidding yourself and deep fry that shit for optimum flavor.

    My wife makes Roti and I cooked 1 in the air fryer and it come out all puffed up and a little crispy.

    Absolutely perfect but you must brush a little oil on both sides before frying.

    About 20 seconds on one side and then turn/flip and 20 seconds on the other side.
