Roast spuds are the best part of any roast dinner. You know how it is - you have to cook extra because everyone around the table has room for more!
If there's one thing I've learned, is that you can't beat cooking them in the traditional way. The question is, how can we get the taste of a traditionally cooked roast potato, with the speed and convenience of using the air fryer? Ta-da! The answer lies in this video.
The air fryer offers health benefits and allows us to cook food using the minimum amount of oil. The crisper plate helps the hot air to circulate around the food and food is crisp and cooked much quicker ...BUT, using the crisper plate with just a spray of oil can result in quite dry roast potatoes.
I've experimented and tried this different ways and cooking them in a more traditional way on the base of the air fryer in a few tablespoons of oil, results in a far superior roastie ...and they'll be cooked in a fraction of the time it takes in a conventional oven.
Follow my tip for that crispy exterior and use a good quality floury potato for that soft, fluffy interior.

Being a retired chef there’s even a easier way to, prep them as usual, then microwave them for approximately 4 minutes, allow steam to evaporate, then cook them in your air fryer approximately 20 minutes 180c seasoned with a little spray of oil. No other ingredients needed 😊👍👍ps no need to parboil 😊😊

It certainly is Andrew! If I was cooking these potatoes in my regular oven, they'd be going in on 180°C-190°C for about an hour ...and they'd still need basting/turning every so often, just as you have to in the air fryer. You need to spend time on your roasties - I think they're the best bit! 😁 I regularly cook an entire roast dinner in my dual zone air fryer - meat, veg, the lot ...in fact, I think I've only used my regular oven about 3 times since Christmas! 🤪

They look lovely, i could just eat them. I made some roasties the other week and they were lovely. I par boiled mine first, i have a cosori dual blaze, so i took the crisper tray out, then put some oil in the bottom and some flavouring, added the potatoes and coated them in the oil and flavouring, half way through cooking i squashed them down with a potato masher so they burst out of their skins a bit. They were the best roast potatoes I've ever eaten. That was a good tip how to cut them up into the same size pieces

My experience. Boil pots with cold water. (Use this water afterwards to make gravy, it’s packed with vitamins etc) This allows time for heat to get to the middle of the potatoes meaning a softer, creamier middle. When boiling, move them around so the ones at the bottom don’t cook quicker then the top ones. It’s risky but I take them as far as I can before they start falling apart. Fluff them up. Pop into plenty of sizzling hot olive oil and baste. When they start to crisp, gently squash them until they crack open, Baste well again and the oil will get into the cracks and just help make the most crispy, soft centred creamy roast potatoes ever. Season with salt and eat! Yum!

I must try semolina when doing my roast spuds for Christmas Day dinner as, like most people, I love them crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Cheers for this. Oh, I do them in my air fryer but the basket comes out in two parts, the bottom half and the part with the handle. I use spray butter when doing roasties normally but will give this a go.
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
The semolina is a wonderful addition. As your air fryer model is the kind that has a basket in 2 parts, just give the potatoes a good spray of oil all over to make sure there are no dry areas. Hope they turn out well for you! 😉👍

However, I still think roasts in a carbon steel baking pan in the oven is the way to go. And I do Heston's method of boiling them AT LOT with their skins in a hessian bag. Be gentle and you're fine. oil and butter and job done.

Yes, same here. The prep is the same, it's what gives you the same results. The only difference is the air fryer does it much quicker and with much less energy. The cubic capacity of one of my air fryer drawers is 14x smaller than my oven ...so that's 14x less space to heat up. If you were cooking for a large group and had many things to roast all at the same time, it would still make sense to use your oven. The air fryer just offers you a quick, energy efficient alternative when an entire oven isn't needed ...or, when your oven's full of other things and you need to cook something but you've run out of space! 😉👍

What type of semolina do you recommend? Flour, coarse or ?
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 9 місяців тому
Hi! In the UK we have a widely available semolina made by a company called Whitworth's. It's traditionally used for hot and cold puddings and desserts. In their description they say, "Following harvest, the wheat is carefully milled to produce fine golden grains of Semolina." It's more like flour and not at all coarse, so if you can get your hands on semolina flour, that is what I'd recommend 😉

Hi Donald. You want to use a floury potato which which has a dryer flesh/lower water content. In the U.S. your best equivalent would be a Russet. Russets have a softer, dryer flesh that is suitable for mashing and making french fries. They should work perfectly! 😉

I suppose it depends how big your air fryer is, but yes, if you need to cook a lot for a large family, you're better off doing a large tray of them in the oven - especially as people usually go for second helpings!! 😋 You can still follow the same recipe and the principle is the same. You can either cook them slowly in your oven on 190°C for 50-60 mins ...or faster on 200°C for about 40-45 mins 😉👍 Enjoy! 😋

Just tried it. As expected, there is no substitute for using a lot more oil. They were crispy and fluffy but completely lacked that glass finish. So yep, they do look the part but just as with deep frying chips, you cannot get the same from an Air fryer. If you happen to like the taste where there is not a lot of oil then you'll love these. So the big question is, has anyone actually put a good layer of oil in their fryer?
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 5 місяців тому
You can add more oil Dave. In fact you should spray with more oil periodically to ensure there are no dry areas. I also add butter towards the end to give them that little bit extra flavour. You can also cook them for longer if you like them crunchier. It's down to individual taste. There are no hard and fixed rules. Don't feel afraid to add more oil and increase the cooking time slightly if you want a more fried potato taste and texture.

They look delicious, I've yet to discover they joys of cooking in an air fryer but they take roughly the same time to cook in a conventional oven without the need to attend to them quite so much. When I use the oven, I've par bolied, tossed them in either flour or semolina, dropped them into an oven tray containing oil that's been brought to an almost smoking temp. I make sure to cover all sides of the potatoes with the oil, pop them in the oven and check/turn them once. After 20-25 mins they are cooked to perfection...plus you can fit way more into an oven tray so I'm struggling to see the benefits of using an air fryer for this particular recipe.
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 11 місяців тому
Hi Karena, I only tossed them 3x in 20 mins, so they didn't need tending that much! 😁 I think the nature of the air fryer, with its high speed, instant, forced ultra-heated hot air means they do cook much quicker in the air fryer than in the oven. I mean for example, my Neff oven has an internal volume that is 14x greater than a single drawer in my dual-zone air fryer ...that's 14x more volume to heat up and energy to pay for. My oven would take 10 mins or more to preheat and if I was cooking potatoes to get them to this standard in the oven they'd take at least 40 mins at 200C. If I wanted to get potatoes of this crispiness on the outside and fluffiness in the middle, I'd probably end up cooking potatoes at 190C for an hour to be honest. There is actually no need to preheat an air fryer, but I do for 5 mins in this recipe just to heat the oil ...but I mean, chicken breasts cook instantly (without any preheating) in the air fryer in about 17 mins, and a whole chicken cooks in 55 mins from start to finish with gorgeous cripsy skin and a perfect internal temperature of 80C. I whole joint of pork with THE most amazing crackling is cooked in 55 mins and cakes cooked - again without any preheating - in 15 mins! Stop resisting Karena, I think you need to go out and buy one! 🤪😁

Your thoughts on adding baking soda to the cooking water?
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 11 місяців тому
Ha yes! I've tried it, but I thought it was awful. 😖 I get the theory, in that making the water alkaline may help to break down the potato flesh, but I've always thought if you're not careful with bicarb of soda, it can make things taste a bit soapy. 🫤 I only did it once and when I added it to the potato water, I thought it created a sliminess that I just didn't like. 😬 In my experience, I don't think you can't beat boiling them in just clean plain water. But each to their own! Is the baking soda a technique you use?

@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
I found something online called 'corn semolina' which is interesting - I've never used it so don't know what it's like, but that might be a good alternative. Either that or a light sprinkle of buckwheat or rice flour might even give you a similar texture. Remember that potato is in itself a starch, just like semolina/wheatflour, so if in doubt, just give the potatoes a good shake after par-boiling to roughen up the exteriors (you're almost creating your own potato starch flour exterior) a nice seasoning of salt and pepper and this will still crisp up nicely in the hot oil 😉👍

Semolina is a pale yellow, semi-milled, coarsely ground durum wheat that's high in gluten. It's traditionally used to make puddings and is readily available in the UK. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same (or if it's available in Canada) but somebody in the US mentioned 'Cream of Wheat'? I'm not familiar with it so can't guarantee it's the same thing, but it certainly sounds the same. You could try Durum pasta flour perhaps if that is available?

@AirFryerFella 6 місяців тому
Aha! Yes, well to save you watching it again, here's a rundown! 1. Cut the potatoes (use Maris Piper or King Edwards) and soak them in salted water for 30 mins - if you're in a rush, don't worry, simply rinse them until the water runs clear. 2. Remove crisper plate and put about 3tbsp of oil into the bottom of the air fryer basket. Get the oil hot by setting it to Air Fry at 200°C for 5 mins. 3. Meanwhile, par boil your potatoes for no longer than 5 mins. 3. Drain the potatoes and then (optionally) sprinkle a couple of spoons of semolina onto the them. Replace the saucepan lid and give them a gentle shake. 4. When the air fryer's preheated. Place the potatoes into the basket. They should sizzle in the hot oil. When they're in, immediately turn them over and spray any dry areas with a little extra oil. 5. Set the air fryer to Air fry at 200°C for 20 mins. 6. Give them a shake and turn after 5-6 mins and season with salt and pepper. 7. After 12 mins add a knob of butter for flavour, or any other spices/herbs you might like and give them another shake to coat them in the butter and flavourings. 8. After the 20 mins, give them a final check. If you'd like them more well done, air fry for a further 5 mins 👍 Pop them in a bowl with a final sprinking of sea salt (they'll be really hot) ...dig in and enjoy!! 😋

Except this channel is all about how to use your air fryer. An air fryer is essentially a compact fan assisted oven, so yes, of course you can do them in your oven if you want. My oven has a cubic capacity of 65ltrs. One drawer of my Ninja Air Fryer has a cubic capacity of just 4.7ltrs ...that's 14x less than my oven and 14x less the internal volume to heat up. The air fryer will also cook the potatoes in around 20-25 mins - Your oven is likely to take 30-40 mins to achieve a similar result. So as you can see, the energy savings are considerable ...in fact up 75% less in some cases. But of course, you are free to follow the video, or not, and cook them whichever way you choose! 😉

@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
Yes you could! It would still cook them the same. The only difference is, the Roast function has a lower speed fan. I find that the high speed fan of the Air Fry function on my Ninja gets my potatoes cooked through crispy and quickly. 😉 However, different models do differ... For example, on my Cosori Dual Blaze, I use the Roast function for my roast potatoes. On the Cosori, the Roast fan speed is the same as Air Fry, but more heat is directed from the bottom element than the top element, which sort of cooks them from the underside and makes them delicious, crunchy and very similar to how they'd cook in a traditional oven. The Roast function on the Ninja (with its lower fan speed) cooks slightly slower allowing the inside of food to cook gradually, without the exteriors overcooking too quickly. This is perfect for roast joints of meat and potatoes that haven't been par boiled as it allows the insides to soften slowly during the cooking the process, and the exteriors to become crispy over time. Some air fryers don't have a separate Roast function (many just have one 'air fry' function and that's it) so par boiling and using a method that utilises the general Air Fry function I find gives great results, similar to a traditional oven, in the shortest amount of time ...whatever model you use 😉👍

You need a floury potato which is one that has a dry texture (as opposed to waxy). There seems to be a lack of potato diversity in North America and the closest thing you'll get will probably be a Russet. Although some will say it's only 'semi-floury', the Russet has a lower moisture content and therefore a drier texture, so Russet would be at the top of my list 😉👍

It may seem a lot of steps, but it really isn't. If you're short on time, don't soak them, just rinse under the tap until the water runs clear. You don't have to add semolina - just shake and roughen them up in the pan. ...and you only need to turn them a couple of times during cooking - at 10 and 15mins. Feel free to add extra oil if you want or cook for a little longer for extra fried potato crunch and taste. Follow the steps for the very best results, but modify as much as you need to suit your requirements. 😘

I am not criticizing you in any way. I do have some observations which for many who are very experienced cooks and being a Brit, love my Roast Dinner, am new to the air fryer idea and am trying to learn it and find any benefits. This looks pretty much the same as good roasties in a normal oven and the timing looks almost the same. A normal oven is larger so do not need to turn as often. Not sure what the benefit of an air fryer/oven is? Would you please explain the benefits? It's smaller so heats up faster. The elements are about the same W so use the same elec per min of use. Im not a fan of par boiling but know many like this method, put that to a side. I use a very fine cheese/lemon grater to roughen the edges of the spud to add crispy flakes/ peaks etc. In a normal non fan oven, I will cook at around 180C for 30 mins. Peel to oven to plate. I turn once after about 15 mins. The flour I agree adds a nice coat, I use polenta flour, its the same idea. With the air frier being smaller, I'd need to cook in batches, a normal oven I can use a normal roasting tin and cook in one. Would you please expand and explain more on why I should move from a normal oven to a air fryer. Ive brought 2 of them so would like to know how to use them and create better than I have created the old way for many years. Thank you and please help us to understand why we should make the change.
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 7 місяців тому
Hi Jessica, thanks for your message! I think you've answered your own question! There is no right or wrong way of doing it and it's not about moving away from an oven and towards an air fryer, it's about perhaps adding an air fryer to your kitchen arsenal and using it to complement the way you cook. I still use my oven. If I was cooking a large Sunday roast for many people, I would have a much larger roasting dish and do a whole batch of roast potatoes in the oven, along with parsnips, a whole joint of meat and perhaps some stuffing balls, all on different shelves, all cooking at the same time. But, if I'm cooking a smaller batch, the air fryer is quick, clean and convenient. Also, my oven takes a good 10-15 mins to preheat to a high temperature and the roast potatoes take a good 40 mins or so to roast them how I like them, so I don't agree that the timings are the same - the air fryer is instant, there's no preheating and they're done from start to finish in about 25 mins. In terms of economy, the air fryer savings can be up to 75% less than using an oven and this has been tested and demonstrated by Utilita. For example, it's not about the size of the element, it's about how much work that element needs to do in order to cook the food. For example, my Neff oven has an internal cubic volume of 65 ltrs. One draw of my Ninja has a cubic capacity of 4.7 ltrs ...that's 14x less than my oven. The element in my oven has to heat up and maintain a temperature in a cooking chamber 14x greater than the air fryer. The oven also has to be on for longer and generally at a higher temperature. The concentrated forced hot air, from a high speed fan, in a cooking chamber 14x smaller than an oven, in less time, at a lower temperature and with no preheating, means the energy savings of using an air fryer are obvious. In my Ninja Dual Zone, I can have chicken breasts in one drawer cooked in 15-20 mins, whilst potatoes and parsnips roast in the other drawer in 20-25 mins. I steam broccoli for 5 mins on the hob ...that's an entire roast dinner for up to 4 people cooked in 25 mins. The 9.5 ltr capacity of the two drawers combined mean the elements have to heat up and maintain the heat in 2 cooking chambers that is STILL 7.2x less than the oven. I use my air fryer every single day and I find is so incredibly quick and easy, but I'm not here to convince you to use it instead if your oven, I'm simply here sharing some of the recipes I do in my air fryer, to hopefully help people get the best out of theirs 😉👍

Drain potatoes and sprinkle a couple of tbsps of semolina over them (optional) whilst still hot and steaming in the pan. Replace lid and shake them up, to coat and roughen the surfaces. 5. Place potatoes into hot air fryer drawer (they should sizzle as they hit the hot oil) and then immediately turn them over, spraying any dry areas with oil. 6. Set air fryer to Air Fry at 200°C for 20-25mins. 7. Shake after 8-10 mins and season with salt & pepper. 8. After another 5 mins or so, add a knob of butter and shake again to coat. 9. After 20 mins, they should be done. Check to see if they're cooked enough to your liking and if you'd like them darker, give them a final shake and put them on again for a final 5 mins. Enjoy! 😋

Can you use olive oil? 😃
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
Hi Tracey , Yes! You can use 'light in colour' refined olive oil, but not extra virgin. As I stated in my reply to you on another video, extra virgin olive has a low smoke point of around 190°C and would burn at the temperature needed to cook these potatoes. When oils with inadequate smoke points are used for cooking at high temperatures, they burn and nasty chemical compounds are produced which can be harmful. 'Light in colour olive oil' is refined and has a smoke point of around 210°-220°C, so it would be perfect for this recipe. The fact it is refined means some of the nutritional value is lost, but conversely, 'extra virgin olive oil' (which is unrefined, healthier, but has a much lower smoke point) would burn and should only be used for dipping, drizzling and salad dressings. It normally states this on the bottle. I used rapeseed oil in this recipe as it has an even slightly higher smoke point still. I try and buy cold pressed whenever I can as it has better nutritional value. Rapeseed is readily available in the UK and has a smoke point of 220°-230°C making it even more stable for cooking at high temperatures ...but light in colour olive oil will work just fine. 😉👍 Avocado oil is even better still with a smoke point of 250°-270°C, but unfortunately it is very expensive! 😬

@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 8 місяців тому
Hi Clive, have you ever cooked a chicken or meat joint in your air fryer? There can be as much as ½ pint of fat and liquid in the bottom of the Ninja after cooking. It is perfectly normal and safe for there to be small amounts of liquids in the bottom of the unit. In terms of the oil in my roast potato recipe, it's only a couple of tablespoons. If you watch the video, you will see that once the potatoes are added, all of the oil is completely absorbed ...in fact, I give them an extra little spray to moisten any areas that look a little dry. The 'no liquids' in an air fryer refers to the deliberate adding of large quantities of liquids that come near to the top of the pan, such as in casseroles etc. as they can spit and damage the element. Adding just a couple of tablespoons of oil to meat or vegetables is completely normal and many recipes even in the Ninja manual call for it. The difference being that a couple of tablespoons of oil ultimately coats the food to assist with that 'fried exterior' and a portion is absorbed - as opposed to the food being immersed completely in oil such as in deep frying. No real visible liquid remains after cooking and the chance of any spitting is minimal ...quite unlike the amount of fat and liquid that is naturally left in the pan after cooking a chicken or meat joint! It is perfectly ok for this to occur during normal use - the unit and depths of the pans are designed for it.

@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
It's a widely available ingredient that has traditionally been used for puddings in Europe for generations. Semolina is semolina, just as sugar is sugar. When I use semolina, asking me to pay 'a little more attention to detail' is like asking me to pay more attention to detail when I use flour or sugar. I don't normally describe the chemical structure of every ingredient and Google is a marvelous tool if you are not familiar with an ingredient or if for some unknown reason it is not available in your country. Semolina is in itself, pale yellow, high protein, semi-milled or coarsely ground durum wheat flour. There is nothing added to it, so I guess you could say yes, it is a pure ingredient. Although it is yellow in colour, its high gluten content means you cannot just substitute with polenta or corn flour - the two things are not the same. Someone in the comments section mentioned a brand name of 'Cream of Wheat' in the U.S. This is a brand I am not familiar with, but after Googling it, it certainly sounds similar. Failing that, unbleached, coarsely ground durum wheat pasta flour may also be a good alternative.

They're absolutely delicious!😋I've had people come to dinner and rave about my potatoes and they say, "these are delicious, how do you get them so crispy?" and I say "semolina" ...and they're like "...er? What?" 😆

Why not use the roast function on the air fryer? I have a Ninja fryer but I don't know the difference between air fry, roast, bake etc.

You could use the Roast function if you wanted to, Air Fry is just a bit faster. The difference between the functions is the fan speed and the temperatures available in each setting: "Max Crisp" is the "jet engine", fastest fan speed and has a temperature range of 210°C to 240°C. Great for extra crispness and to prevent coated frozen foods going soggy. "Air Fry" has a high fan speed and has a temperature range of 150°C to 240°C. Great, general, all-round setting for foods you would normally deep fry or cook in a hot fan oven for crispy exteriors. "Roast" has a slightly lower fan speed than Air Fry and has a temperature range of 120°C to 210°C, great for roasting joints or anything that might benefit from having a very slightly lower fan (i.e when you don't want the exterior to over do before the interior has cooked through). "Bake" has an even lower fan speed than Roast and also has a temperature range of 120°C to 210°C. Perfect for baked goods or when you want to cook with a much slower fan speed i.e. when doing recipes with grated cheese - the low fan stops the cheese blowing around! "Reheat" has a slightly lower fan speed still and has a temperature range of 130°C to 210°C, so great for just warming things through without them over cooking. The lowest fan speed is "Dehydrate" and has an ultra low temperature range of 40°C to 90°C, perfect for proving yeast based doughs or slowly removing moisture from food over many hours, i.e drying herbs, beef jerky, apple slices, banana chips etc. The fan speed basically decreases with each setting on the dial, from Max Crisp, downwards. Once you know your way around the settings, it can really help you to get the best results. Hope that helps 😉👍

Erm? Here's the transcript: "First I'm going to show you how to cut the potatoes, this is how I was shown how to do them, and how my Mother and Grandmother did them" For clarity, my Grandmother was born in 1914 and died in 2005, so no, she never used an air fryer ...but she did use a knife.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE SEMOLINA WHAT ELSE CAN I USE ??
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 11 місяців тому
Hi Ann! Semolina is essentially the semi-milled coarser grains of hard durum wheat, so a little durum pasta flour should do it. Semolina is slightly yellow in colour and is darker and earthier than regular flour. Although it looks a little like finely ground cornmeal, cornmeal would not be any good as it does not contain any gluten bulding protein. So, whilst I've found semolina is best, if you can't find it at the store, you could try durum wheat flour (the flour that is used for pasta making) or failing all that, a light sprinkling of plain/all-purpose flour. Either way, don't use too much, it really is just a light coating. If you use plain/all-purpose flour, I would also suggest adding your salt and pepper seasonings along with it prior to roasting. The alternative of course is to not use any flour at all and to simply shake them up after par-boiling to roughen up the outsides, and then leave them for a few minutes to steam and dry out a bit. The beauty of a floury potato is their low moisture content, so when you roughen up the exterior, it dries quite quickly and goes nice and crispy in the oil during cooking. I recommend a Maris Piper or King Edward potato, or if you're in the U.S a Russet 😉

Bread flour should also work. It is ground from a harder type of wheat with a higher protein content that produces a firmer, more crunchy crust.

@@marylockhart6586 semolina is made from durum wheat, polenta is made from corn, therefore it does not contain protein building gluten that semolina does. Although semolina is slightly yellow in colour and of a similar consistency to finely ground cornmeal/polenta, that's where the similarities end unfortunately. If you try it with polenta, do post up your results, I'd be really interested to see how they turn out! If they're successful, it would make a good alternative as a gluten free version! 😉

Semolina, what is that 🤔
@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 4 місяці тому
Semolina is a pale yellow, semi-milled, coarsely ground durum wheat that's high in gluten. It's traditionally used for puddings. Are you in the US? I'm not 100% sure if it's the same, but somebody in the US mentioned 'Cream of Wheat'? I'm not familiar with it so can't guarantee it's the same thing, but maybe that's something you could check out. If you try it, let me know! 😉👍

Not at all! These were done in just one drawer of my Ninja 400, which has 2 drawers and a total of 9.5ltr capacity. It's easily big enough to cook a meal for 3-4 people. You can roast a whole chicken in one basket in 55 mins. I also have a Cosori air fryer that has a single basket 50% bigger than one of the Ninja baksets, so again it's easily big enough for 4 people. You have to remember that the cubic volume of your oven could be up to 14x greater than an air fryer ...so that's how much extra space you need to heat up, and of course the extra energy needed to do it (not to mention preheating and a higher heat setting). I can have a whole chicken in one drawer of my air fryer, roast spuds in the other and some broccoli and carrots steaming on the hob. A whole meal for a family of 3-4 will be cooked up to 50% quicker than using a standard oven, with up to 75% energy savings.

@@reedy8585 The research was done by Utilita and their Cook Savvy campaign in partnership with Iceland. Average household energy usage was based on records from 2019-2021 using average prices as of September 2022 when the research was carried out. In their tests, daily use for an air fryer was 70% less than a standard electric oven. utilita.co.uk/campaigns/iceland The oven cooking time for a 1.4kg chicken is 90 mins at 190-200°C. In an air fryer, cooking time is 50-55 mins at just 170-180°C. I mean it's not rocket science. My Neff oven has an internal cubic capacity of 65ltrs. One drawer of my air fryer has a cubic volume of 4.5ltrs. That in itself is 14x less than the oven. In addition, the air fryer requires no preheating and uses concentrated hot air to heat up a smaller cooking chamber, therefore requiring lower temperature AND shorter cooking time also. It pretty much goes without saying. I see you are also a UKposts creator. I'm not really sure why you are so bothered and worked up about somebody using a kitchen appliance!? No-one is forcing you to do anything and you are free to do whatever you want and use whatever appliance you like, but please be respectful and ask polite, useful questions, rather than challenge and attack.

@AirFryerFella
@AirFryerFella 3 місяці тому
It's semolina. That's what it is. It's not a brand, it's a thing, just like flour is a thing. It is available on the supermarket shelves throughout the UK and Europe and is pale yellow in colour, made from semi-milled, coarsely ground durum wheat (a hard wheat) that is very high in gluten and was traditionally used in the UK to make milk puddings. In Europe it's used a lot for making pasta because its high protein, robust structure helps pasta to keep its shape during cooking. It appears that many people in North America have never heard of it and its not widely available over there. Durum wheat flour would be the best substitute if you can get your hands on it.
