Gotta be honest, I do like this budget air fryer, but I think i'll upgrade soon, any suggestions for what air fryer to get would be appreciated, cheers Ingredients are above, recipe methods are here barrylewis.net/recipe/5-foods-that-are-better-in-an-air-fryer/

I got an air fryer for my birthday last September and love it. I have used my oven twice in that time, as my air fryer does everything else. As a disabled person, my air fryer is so much easier and safer to use; even though my oven is one made for wheelchair users with the door opening to the side. I have a bunch of reusable silicon baskets to make clean up easier and to also make lifting the foods out easier. These are a lifesaver as I can throw them in the dishwasher and then the actual air fryer never needs cleaning. Would love to make a video with you Barry about cooking as a disabled person, tips and tricks and gadgets. I do plan on doing one on my KZread channel, but I believe it’s something your viewers would find interesting for those who aren’t disabled (I get asked often how I manage to cook as a wheelie living alone) and helpful for those who do have disabilities.

Such a great idea. I am also disabled and in a wheelchair, cooking and doing every day things can be very difficult. These things definitely help ❤

Not sure what’s available this season but our bargain Aldi air fryer has been an integral part of our daily lives. It looks more like a mini oven with a drop down door. It also has a rotisserie and pizza stone attachment!

We just got the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Dual Air Fryer. The thing I like most is that it has one drawer with a divider so you have the versatility to cook different meals for two people or say a whole chicken in one big drawer. 😊 Oh, and the silicone cooking baskets are a must! You can buy generic ones to fit that model quite easily. 😊

The air fryer won me over, too! I appreciate these easy but tempting recipes!

I always make up a massive batch of taco seasoning and just put it into an empty herb or spice jar so I don’t have to keep making it up (and it means I avoid buying pre-made from shop)..great upload as usual Barry👍💕

Some brilliant ideas for the Air fryer & thanks for sharing Barry 😋👍🌮🥖🧄🧈🍣

I'd love to see you explore instant pots. with proper preparation and execution you can cook virtually anything in them in less than half the time. The hard part is learning all those techniques and finding which work best for you!

Best thing I got was an airfryer. So easy to use and makes yummy meals.

I could care less about cooking. I am just hooked on this guy. He has no idea how funny he is.

Caved in to the air fryer fad a year ago and honestly, it's THE most used thing in our kitchen! We got the Ninja dual (AF400) which is amazing and does NOT require any pre-heat (None of the Ninja ones do)

I've had an instant pot in my closet the longest and finally got around to using it. Went great, and I'd love to get some more ideas!

This is perfect. I just invested in a nicer air fryer to save energy and less heat in the house for summer. Been trying different things on different modes. Thanks!!! Love this.

I think the air fryer is the best newer kitchen appliance going. I researched many air fryers before my purchase and my recommendation is the brand “Cosori”. It has a square basket that holds more food and works great. I have been using it for years. Also have gifted several. They are around $100 US on Amazon and worth every penny.

Agreed! I had my ninja foodi imported from the US, as it wasn't available for EU when I got it🙈 but I absolutely love it. Ninja has a wide variety of options too. I got the 13 in one with the built in thermometer, SP351. My sister has the Phillips airfryer which is very popular in the Netherlands and it's a good machine, but the Ninja is way more versatile ❤

Thanks Barry, you have given me some great Ideas for the 2 air-dryers that we have. You got me, I've subscribed....

Cosori Dual Blaze is a hell of an aur fryer! From what I know it's the only one that hast two burners, at the top and the bottom, so you don't have to flip the food while cooking, And it's spacious enough to cook whole chicken of an impressive size in it

We have an instant pot that is also an air fryer! It's called a Duo Crisp I believe, and we absolutely love it. Really enjoyed this video, feels like Barry back to his roots!

It's great for a single person or couple, not great for a family with children though - the air fryer lid is heavy and not as safe as a drawer.

Love my air fryer. I've had it about 18 months and turned on my main over precisely once since i've owned it to a cook a pizza that was too large for the fryer.

My waffle stuffer has just arrived from Amazon U.K. and I am loving it. I can see you doing all sorts in one of those. The American version has a brilliant grip handle. I got mine out with a wooden spatula and it was perfect.

Oh no you have made me feel hungry now hahaha they all look great and i am surprised with some of the ideas. Thank you.

I love how enthusiastic you are about cooking after all the years! But seriously get an instant pot! That appliance has changed my life of cooking!!

I swear by my Instant Pots and yes I said pots. I have two and use them regularly to feed my large family. I use mine for so many things Berry you should definitely do that!

Great vid. Instant Pot is awesome so can definitely recommend trying that. It can do entry level sous vide and slow cook as well.

We have a GoWise 7qt. It has a grill, reheat, bake, air fry, roast, and dehydrate setting. Best thing I've every purchased, ever. We use it every day. I even bake canned cinnamon rolls and biscuits in it and they are Amazing!

I really really enjoyed you post..... your recipes are easy and awsome....

I love how everything turned out it would make a nice date night meal As for a new air fryer I've owned a ninja foodie air fryer for years & it'll be better than your budget buy too

Yes, I definitely appreciate the air fryer recipes. I'm still learning the limits of mine. I bought one of the twin drawer Ninja ones as while there are 3 of us I'm the youngster at 50 so being able to do 2 things at once is better than having a larger capacity. Also the silicon liners are readily available and well worth using as you just pop them out to clean rather than needing to do the whole drawer all the time :)

This was a fantastic pitch. Happy for him!

I love my Instant Pot. I've made yogurt, cheesecakes, brownies, used it to raise my bread dough , stews, soups and broth oh and veggies. I have 2-8quart (incase one dies on me) and a 3 quart which I do my veggies and rice in. I'm keeping your air fryer ideas for later.

The burritos in the air fryer is a great idea 🎉❤

We've got a Russel Hobbs airfryer, it's got a big one piece non-stick bowl that's diswasher safe. With heating element on the bottom adding more control, it's an oven, a frying pan and a slowcooker. Also comes with a metal griddle for grilling. I can just do a whole casserole in the bowl itself with little hassle. We've been happy with it, we needed to upgrade to a bigger one since our first one was a regular one with the pull out basket so this one has been perfect.

I have my Ninja multicooker now for 4 years and it's still being used all the time. Mostly as airfryer but also for baking, pressure cooking and steaming. They may be a bit big at first but it's also replacing a lot of individual appliances.

I LOVE my Instant Pot Pro Crisp. It replaced my Philips All-in-One and cheap-ass air fryer that I had, best purchase I ever made a couple of years ago. Use the thing all the time, cooks soups, corned silverside, etc... in a fraction of the time.

Yup, we use our instant pot (pressure cooker) and Air fryer for almost every meal, being able to do a pasta sauce in the instapot, then add noodles for a few more min for the kids dinners for a few days is such a time saver.

I have the Cosori TurboBlaze. It’s brilliant.

I use a ninja foodi toaster oven/air fryer and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend!!!

You are so funny. I love your enthusiasm.

I've tried several air fryers and my favourite by far are the ones that identical to a mini oven. I.e. there's 2 or 3 rows of wire racks to put food on. I use the Tower Xpress, the rotisserie function is fantastic if you can find a small enough chicken.

Saved the best for last? Sorry, but you had me at garlic-bread. So simple, yet so delicious. The easier the better!

My wife and I got an unopened Instant Pot brand air fryer combo at a thrift store. It’s brilliant. It air “fries,” broils, bakes, and dehydrates, though I haven’t verified that last one. It’s shaped closer to a cube than the odd egg shape many are. I vote for a multi-function, whichever the brand.

I have the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer with ClearCook Window and its great! I love it so much I bought my mom and gran each one.

So helpful.

Ninja all the way Barry, they have many options depending on what you want from an air fryer. I have also heard that the Cosori dual blaze is good too Love the videos!

I finally broke down and got an air fryer to play with. I bought thr emeril lagasse wvery day 360. It was 149$ on amazon about a year ago. It can be an oven or air fryer. It has elements and a fan in it, and various positions for the over grate. I love it, it even has a rotisserie and spit included.

The cauliflower bites look good, I'm not sure enchiladas are better in the air fryer but I do think some things are. Anything like onion rings, spring rolls etc from a frozen packet are better because they don't have soggy spots like oven baked ones do. And those part baked bread rolls are great because you can just put them straight in, no faff of preheating and quicker than the oven. I do drop the temperature to about 160C so the middle gets heated thoroughly before the outside gets overdone

Those look so good, been a while since I made enchiladas, I'll have to give them a go

I LOVE pressure cookers. They cook everything soooo fast, even Fr frozen.

That Salmon looks stonkin! Digging out my air fryer!

Phillips xl airfryer best one I have tested had it since 2016 and still going replaced my oven and deepfryer and always better results then my fan oven

I have the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer which has a pressure cooking lid and an air fryer lid and it's brilliant,I also have another two Instant air fryers,the Instant Vortex Plus 5.7 Ltr with the clear front and the Instant Vortex Plus Versazone 8.5 Ltr which has a large drawer that you can put a separator in the middle and use it as two independent drawers with different times and temperatures,they are all amazing appliances and I wouldn't buy any other brand,my oven is now a storage unit for my air fryer accessories,a great video,thanks for the recipes

The thing about air fryers is it really doesn't matter what brand of size you get, they're all doing the same thing. What it really boils down to is how big you need it for your portions you're cooking and how much you want to spend.

Here in this area of America, we call your Enchiladas, smothered burritos. Taco Bell had the same recipe and called it The Enchirito. They bring it back every now and then. It also is basically the same recipe. Great use of your fryer! I love watching your videos! Especially when your wife is with you, her expressions and quite comments are epic to me!❤

We love our ninja foodi flex basket air fryer 11 qt. It has one giant basket that can be divided into two, so you can have two different programs running, or one big one like a whole roast chicken. The basket, crisping racks, and divider are all dishwasher safe. We use it all the time.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9867/90 is the one if you wish to upgrade. We are using it on a daily basis for very a long time now. It is big enough and for standard things it calculates cooking time based on food weight. On top of that it has a lot of additional accessories you could buy (grill, pizza kit, baking tray for cakes and etc.).

Cosori blaze. It has elements on top and bottom. Love it.

I love my Cuisinart digital convection air fryer. It has no Teflon or PFOAs so it’s less toxic than the Teflon lined ones. Thoroughly recommend it!

Ninja do some good products, I've got a few in my kitchen, haven't used my oven in years. P.S love your channel I have cooked a few of your recipes, will be trying some of these Air fryer recipes.

I don't know if Ninja ships to the UK but I love my ninja air frier and instant pot pressure cooker! Thank you!

I'm hungry now 😂, have an air fryer since the last 2 and a half year will never miss it again. I bake my bread, lasagne, cake and almost never used my oven since

My husband loves the chicken wings and ribs I do in the Air fryer. The pressure pan (Instant Pot) is great too.

I have a prosenic that I can control from my phone. It’s the only reason I got it over other brands. It’s the best feature about it, it’s also got some recipes but don’y think I’ve followed any yet as I tend to google recipes.

One that will give rotisserie function, hysapientia which I have is so versatile, you can do anything, also instant pot which gives you the cooking meat without losing moisture, it makes great stir fry and really good mixed rice recipes in alot of the time 3 x as fast, and less washing up bonus hope this help with your choice.🤗

I love an air fryer. Especially cooking a full roast chicken in it. Super crispy and juicy.

I took the plunge couple of months back and bought the Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 smart lid. It's changed the way i cook. It does the lot from pressure cook to air fry to steam cook. I even make my own bread in it. Plus it has a probe so any meat you cook will only cook to the temperature you tell it!

I have basic aitrfyer. Cooked lots in it have BBQ space ribs yesterday was delicious

As someone with two air fryers I cant wait to make all of these.

The brand I have is Ninja Foodie it also bakes, pressure cooker and many other features including the air fryer. Parts like the inner bowl or wire racks can be purchased on Amazon at reasonable prices. They have release a double air fryer now but I'm happy with my original model which is awesome.

I have the Ninja toaster oven/air fryer. I have a small kitchen, so I opted for the fold-up model and I love it! It even opens on the bottom for easy cleaning. They make a taller version, which fits whole chickens. I’m in the US, so I’m not sure which models you’ll have available.

Me and my wife both love the air fryer, but love our instant pot more. I usually stuff 2 chuck roasts from Aldi in there with water(or cheap beer!) on the bottom, and just seasoned salt the whole thing and add yellow mustard/hot sauce. I have yet to have better pot roast, I leave it in for 1 hour 20 minutes to make sure it falls apart. 😁

A few months back, I did a prime rib in an air fryer. Omg, it came out soooo good.

I was not sure if I'd use an air fryer so first I bought ha half liter basket model. it's a little bigger than an American football size. I was so in love with it that I bought the bestest ever possible: Philips HD9880/95 (also 7000 series XXL) and I'm in heaven. Wish everybody experienced that model because it's nothing like you'd buy from a budget supermarket.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already. But I seriously recommend using ramekins for various recipes. Especially for a sauce. But they're also great for making eggs in the airfryer.

Love my air fryer so much and use it nearly every day. You should def get a pressure cooker. I have an Instant Pot which is just a brand of pressure cooker.

Garlic bread you should try this a wrap, cheese I use mozzarella garlic granules and mixed herbs then do another layer on top cook for around 9 mins on 180 wow this bread is to die for

never thought about doing this in the air fryer

I'm pretty sure you could put a bowl or ramekin in the drawer to reduce the sauce without having to wash the drawer afterwards.

Hi, I think that you really need to think what you want the air fryer for. I have three. A 12 litre cosori oven, this can give you a much bigger area than the basket type and bonus, you only need to wash the trays you used a quick wipe inside with a damp cloth. I also have a 24 litre oven, this does whole meals, for my family of three, sometimes 4, theres loads of them on amazon and I have a ninja speedy, which do whole meals for up to 4 meals, this a basket type and requires a tad more washing up. It does, the carb, veg and protein in around 20 mins, set it and walk away. Loving your content!
