This Christmas my lovely sister and brother-in-law got me a Philips Airfryer, which was fantastic as I’ve been wanting one for months. And last night I was able to test it out “frying” some home made chips (fries for our friends outside of the UK). The result? Success! I’m a little surprised to be honest. Even though they lacked the greasy-ness of fish ‘n’ chip/takeaway chips, the texture and crunch was pretty much the same. It did lack that distinct chip shop saturated fat flavour… Oh well, I’ll have to do with an extra year in my life saved then!

I also fried some sausages in them… You can’t really go wrong with sausages so they were fine. But I like the whole set the temperature, stick your food in, set the timer and then leave it technique. MAKE WAY FOR THE LAZY CHEF!

Anywho, I’ve marinated some chicken drumsticks with a cumin/tumeric/paprika/salt/garlic/soy sauce dry rub and left it in the fridge overnight. Tonight I’ll be testing those and if they’re successful, I’ll be moving on to the ultimate test… SCOTCH EGGS!!! (the main reason I wanted an airfryer in the first place).

Fingers crossed… TO BE CONCLUDED…
