Only -6.8 C Sunday night, just -0.7 last night, hoorah!
I have never been one to jump on the latest band wagon for anything. However, after months of watching people use them, I got really interested. We ordered a Ninja Dual Air Fryer on Tuesday and picked it up on Thursday. During the week, we used it to cook a previously prepared pasta dish:
First lesson to learn, cover the top with foil for the first half of cooking to prevent it slightly drying out and browning too quickly.
Second lesson, don't put the cheese on top for the first part of cooking. Add it once the foil is removed.
It took 20 minutes with no warming up of an oven. Nuff said!
The next meal was cooked from scratch in it. Onion browned, followed by browning the pork mince (something we have never been able to achieve in a frying pan), 15 minutes in total with no warming up of the pan! It was nice to see the crispy brown bits (drawer contents not covered for this part) and the semi roasted tomatoes:
Gravy was made from the strained juice and some added to the meat before being topped with potato. Foil covered and cooked at 200C for 10 minutes (needed 15 mins). Uncovered for another 10 mins or until its internal temp was 75C.
It was delicious but I forgot to do a final picture - doh!
It will take a bit of time to get used to, especially what to select to cook it on and what temperature and for how long etc.
