My friends air fryer

He’s got an airfryer this weekend.

Never used one before. I’ve only used mine for a few months. I got a bit motherly, trying to explain how it works, that it’s not a deep fat fryer.

When you get something new it’s not always simple to understand. Which buttons do you press? What’s suitable for cooking in it? What are the hazards, risks.

But the good thing is it seems more economical than a full sized oven. They need regular cleaning and drying or food can bubble up and stick on surfaces

You can get charts to tell you cooking times and heats.

I once used a greaseproof paper sheet and managed to char it’s edges. An airfryer is not a microwave. It gets very hot, and removing food from the baskets can be… Ouch… Hot.

Still I would recommend this piece of technology for cooking. I just want one big enough to roast a chicken.

Drought?

Oh for some rain, but today came the news that there is an amber heat warning for parts of Britain. That means there is some danger to health for people, especially for the  vulnerable ones. There might be a cooler week next week, but that doesn’t mean rain.

In other news we had reports that we can expect temperatures of up to 40°Celcius in future years, that’s a lot higher than we are used to. Britain has a maritime weather system, meaning weather coming from all directions and all sorts of types. Rain, wind, sleet, hail, snow, sun, fog, mist, drizzle, gales, thunder and even tornadoes and water spouts, we get it all!
