Frozen arincini balls (approx 2.5cm diameter)
Spray lightly with olive oil, in tray on baking paper for 5 mins 200 then remove paper and cook further 5 mins at 200.
This gives them a brown outside and hot all the way through. This is with no pre heating of the machine.

Pork BellyThe pork belly turned out perfect and no mess.
I used Teninas recipe from the Christmas Ebook. I cooked as per Teninas recipe up to placing into the oven before work this morning then after work rubbed in some additional salt mix, oil and vinegar before putting in the airfryer at 160 for 30 mins then an additional 30 mins at 180. DH wasn't home so I left in the airfryer for about 15 mins then cooked a further 5 mins at 180 when we were ready to eat. All the skin was perfectly crunchy and the meat moist and full of flavour.
Wonder
Apple PastriesSliced apple, sprinkle with brown sugar and encase in puff pastry.
From start to finish, 15 minutes.
Cook in a preheated 200
o air fryer for 6 minutes.
Wonder
Potato WedgesPar cooked 5 large potatoes cut into 6 wedges for 10 minutes in the microwave, drained and patted dry then put in a container with oil, salt and lemon slices and left in the fridge for the day.
Into the airfryer for 15 mins 200 degrees and stirred twice as the drawer was quite full and I wanted them all to brown.
Wonder
Homemade chipsI've been peeling and cutting into chips then soaking in water for about half an hour and rinsing until water is clear. Once soaked I then microwaved for about 10 minutes until partially cooked, emptied water and then dried on a tea towel before placing in the fridge for the day. When cooking I sprayed with oil and cooked at 200
o for I think 10 mins or until crisp turning a few times to ensure they were all nicely browned. This method suits me because I can make them to the airfrying stage before work and then leave in the fridge drying out during the day. The type of potato does have a big impact on the final product.

Sweet Chicken DrumsticksSweet chicken drumsticks 180
o not preheated, for 30 minutes turning halfway then increased heat to 200
o for 10 minutes.
Placed a casserole dish into the a/f, added the 6 skinned drumsticks and the following liquid.
125g pineapple juice
50g brown sugar
40g light soy sauce
Thickened the juice later with 1 tsp cornflour but would add it at the beginning to save time. They are delicious.

Toasted sandwichButtered home-made bread on the outside, cheese and tomato on the inside and toasted directly on the wire basket 180
o for 6 minutes. Probably not necessary to turn but I did so at the 4 minute mark to make sure it was toasting evenly which it was. Lightly toasted but crisp and crunchy and so tasty. Bought bread may cook faster so check as you go.

Carrot & Zucchini Stuffed MushroomsJudy
Potato casserole - 2 serves but can be increased depending on the size of your dish.
Grease a dish which will fit into the a/f basket. Par-cook 2 medium sized potatoes (300g total weight). I cooked for 2.5 minutes in a 1200w microwave but you could par-boil them. Cut into 1cm thick slices, slice 4 small spring onions. Layer the potatoes and the onions in the prepared dish. Mix 1 tsp garlic paste with 1 cup cream and pour over the potatoes. Cover with alfoil and cook in a preheated 180
o a/f for 15 minutes. Remove alfoil, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons or more of tasty cheese on top and cook 5 minutes 200
o. If serving straightaway, rest the dish for 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to soak up any excess cream. Reheats well.

potato skins & carrotsMicrowaved a 280g potato for 5 minutes and a 130g carrot for 3 mins (1200 watt microwave). Allowed to cool then cut the potato into 4 wedges and the carrot into 1 x 5 cm batons. Removed all but 1 cm of flesh from the potato and coated the skins both sides in a mix of 3 tsp olive oil, pinch cayenne, 1/8 tsp paprika, 1/8th tsp salt and 3 tsp grated parmesan. Added the carrot and tossed it into the remaining coating. Cooked the potato skins in a preheated 200

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Dijon & GarlicJamberie
Roast ChickenWhat I did: I used a 1.4kg chicken (washed, dried and then rubbed a mix of lemon zest, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp dried oregano, 2 tsp chilli flakes, 2 tsp dried coriander and 2 tbsp lemon infused olive oil all over the bird) and cooked it for 30minutes (including warm up) with a few cut up potatoes around the bird. At 30 minutes, the juices were running clear and I'm sure it would be fine, but I gave it an extra 10 minutes just to be sure it was cooked properly. Yum. If I use my airfryer for nothing else, it will be for roast chicken.
Jamberie
Roasting tomatoesI used the airfryer to 'roast' 2kg of tomatoes for
MJ's passata. I stirred them through some rosemary infused EVOO before dumping the whole lot in the AF for 15 mins at 180oC. It was handy as the tomatoes didn't cook/steep in their juice as it drained through underneath. After 15 mins I just tipped the tomatoes into the TMX and poured in the juice that had collected in the bottom too.
