Freezing chicken breast
We use a lot of chicken breast. I typically buy large packs and then portion them up to freeze. I’m trying ( like many others) to reduce my use of plastic bags. Currently I’m finding it easier to use small plastic/freezer/sandwich bags to portion up the meat - both on convenience and storage in the freezer. What other…

Ninja air fryer recipe book
We recently bought a Ninja dual basket air fryer. Have been looking around for a decent recipe book to use but there seem to be so many. Also, some seem to give American units of measurement so prefer imperial measurements to use. Can anyone recommend one that they have used in the past, thanks for any help

Ninja?
A friend raves about his Ninja multi cooker. What’s the collective wisdom? Is it worth the money ? Is it cheap to run? Is it too big for a singleton? Is it easy to use? Would it replace any of my existing gadgets (microwave, food processor, soup maker, toaster)?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but keeping lettuce in a sealed box (Tupperware type) in a fridge will prolong its life for several weeks. We buy iceberg and that will still be fresh for at least 3 weeks.
