Let’s talk equipment….

Which air fryer? I use the Ninja Food MAX Dual Zone 9.5L Air Fryer with an extra large capacity. This means it can cook two different foods at the same time. I got mine from Very and but do have some other alternatives. Click here to see their full range.

The main reason I went for the dual air fryer was because I am constantly cooking different meals for my kiddos! This has made life much easier because one can have nuggets and one can have a pie and I can sync it all to finish at the same time! Win win for any busy mum! 

What is an Air Fryer?

Air fryers are small kitchen appliances that operate like a convection oven except in a smaller, more concentrated space.

The air is circulated at a high temperature and evenly around the food, which makes the food cook more quickly than in a conventional oven and helps give foods a crispy coating without the need for lots of oil and fat.




Can I save money by using an Air Fryer?

Air fryers cook food fast at a really high temperature with a fan. A typical air-fryer (1,000W) costs just 34p per hour, which is roughly the same wattage and energy consumption as a conventional oven, but it heats up quickly and you can cook meals in a fraction of the time, making it a great-value cooking method.

For example: I can cook an entire roast chicken in the air fryer for 1 hour with no pre heating…. In the oven it takes approx. 1.5 hours and at least 15 minutes of pre heating. Also the chicken tastes amazing from the air fryer as it retains all of the moisture!
