Thanks for all the tips  I have the smaller airfryer, bought from Costco last week. So I'll have fun with that when I'm not using my thermomix.

Cashew nuts, air roasted to perfection. 4 mins, 170C. Preheated first.

Oh yum. I love warm cashews.

The rack is useful to stop anything flying into the fan.
BZB , mum bought the rack for me I think $20 odd.

Where do you get the rack from ?

Thanks Denise. Is it dishwasher safe? My kids groan when I use the airfryer, if they happened to have the washing up chores 😁

So excited I found this thread! I got a air fryer recently but so far I've only used it for store bought things. Can't wait to try some of the recipes from this thread!

I wish the basket was easier to clean. It's so quick to heat up and use but depending what I make in these the basket is so hard to clean because it's not non-stick.

Also does anyone have issues with it setting off the fire alarm? I think it's the grease from cooking meat stuck up on the top (which you can't clean?).

I have a philips AF and find it pretty easy to clean. I either soak it in the sink or shove it in the dishwasher. You can clean the inside of the AF  by turning  it on it's side and  reaching  in to clean the element  and top. If you do it frequently you will not have a grease build up to set the alarm off.

like Gert,  i stick my Phillips AF ,  base and basket in the dishwasher.

[bluebear_74]

Alas no dishwasher for me . I will try turning it on it's side to better access the element on top though.

Bluebear, fill the basket and base with water as soon as you remove the food then wash after eating.  Sometimes I spray a little oil over my basket before I put the food in and if I am doing veges etc I shake frequently as they are cooking.

Not sure how many of you have iPhone but there's a Phillips Airfryer app! There's some cleaning tips too  and of course recipes!!

[chrissa]

I have the app on my ipad.

I am still thinking about getting one of these but cant decide between this and one of the other sort; I think they are called Actifry. Not sure what the difference is other than the shape.
