No need to apologise, I'm not upset at all. I was giving my opinion about the thanks thing.

I don't think it's that people are not impressed with the return of so many old posters. I'm sure everyone welcomes more posters and more glitches. The more the merrier.
It's rather that to a lot of people it would seem that the return of so many old posters is more about having a go at and trying provoke one member of the thread in particular. I'll point out that I'm not that poster's greatest fan at times, but if I see anything I don't like I try to pass it by.
I think it has got totally out of hand now and people who have complained of being bullied in the past are becoming the same thing themselves.....but this time there a real 'gang' mentality about it. I personally think it has gone too far. The point has been made and there's nothing to gain from keeping it up anymore

It makes the regular posters on the thread uncomfortable and it's worth remembering that whilst all the old posters have been absent from the thread, new posters and other existing posters have kept it going. Some of the new posters are just as good at finding glitches, it hasn't exactly been a glitch free zone. It's also worth remembering that a lot of newer members of the thread don't know the history here and are oblivious to what's going on.

So yes, it's great to have all posters here.....old and new, as long as no one is using the thread as a battleground.

Just my opinion, apologies to anyone who doesn't like it

Well said fc.

Mrs stink awww I remember sitting in my car outside nursery after dropping dd off, if I wasn't crying in my car someone else was. There will be better days.

I had one of these http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/small-kitchen-appliances/small-cooking-appliances/fryers/breville-halo-health-fryer-white-12424925-pdt.html?gclid=CLW8wc7Apr4CFdMftAoduj0A7w&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mc!!!!!gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!30420925764!!!g!64556302404!&ef_id=U2-4sgAABbKWq3nU:20140512133645:s great for chips but then after a few weeks paddle started sticking and I had read loads of reviews saying how big the chips should be and to make sure they had a coating of oil etc and had followed that so eased the paddle up slightly worked ok for about another month or two and then paddle stopped working altogether. Googled that and seems it is a common fault so took it back. Also realised they are big and that we only used it about once a week so never replaced it .
So my advice steer clear of this one

I've done LOADS of things. I just use it as a small oven but turn temperature down. The chips - that was for 800gm OR for fish added on top half way through cooking. We normally do 500-600gm just for the 2 of us. 1 portion does in next to no time perfectly.

I've done ham (succulent), individual pastries made with Jus-rol - perfect! Chicken crown (succulent). Crsipy seaweed - yum, yum using 10p for HUGE bag of whoopsied Kale. I always turn the temp down 20-30C less than in oven and time normally 2/3rds of time it says.

It's trial & error but TBH I'm seriously considering whether we now need an oven as haven't used ours since we had this. I do have a small combi microwave.

The ONLY things I think we might need an oven for are large joints of meat (there are just 2 of us so rarely buy larger joints) and for bigger pizzas. Of course if you bake loads of cakes - which I no longer do then you'll need an oven.

I'd try anything in it that you can bake in an oven. As long as it fits in the basket then it should work. Just turn oven setting down and keep an eye on it - after 2/3rds of time it'll probably be done.

The flora cooking liquid I've found is MUCH better than the spray as it really seems to coat everything well with just a very, very small amount. I'm using some we got at some time for free, it's OOD and NOT kept in fridge. IMHO doesn't need to be - I forgot and now don't bother putting in fridge.

I bought one of these, they're now cheaper than when I bought & they are AMAZING!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FQKCSAY/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Chips come out perfect - I use just a 2-3 ml of the Flora cooking Oil (£1 for 500ml) and coat potatoes in a plastic bag. Found this was better than spray oil as you never need to add any more. Just turn chips once or twice. I start them off at 160C for 15 mins and then turn up to 180C for 10min. Might turn up to 200C for 5 min - depending on how many chips are in basket. Chips taste amazing, of potato not oil. Different varieties of potato taste different. My favourites at moment are Charlotte and Harmony (2kg for 55p in HB).

I've cooked small joints in there . Fish tastes FAR better than done in oven. Pies/pastries/bhajis etc. taste how they should. I'd buy another tomorrow if it went.

I've come late to this party but just wanted to say that I don't regret buying my air fryer at all and am very grateful for the encouragement and help I got on here. The Acti-Fry is too large for me but the Amazon one, which I also got when it was cheaper, fits very nicely. (I checked that before I bought it.) I gather that the Acti-Fry's paddles can bash breaded fish, but it's brilliant in this. And this is where I cook the ciabatta! Though they need cutting in half first to fit. (Are they still glitching? Used them at a family party at the weekend and everyone most appreciative!)

Love the kale idea. You can also coat things in oil (or flour) by popping them in a airtight plastic box and shaking gently.
