Best or favourite picnic foods? What do people like. I stuck at sandwiches... not keen on scotch eggs. Even the sandwiches people's taste differ wildly. Some I considering are bacon, lettuce and tomato..... but the bacon goes little hard if not fresh out of the pan and cooled. Prawn cocktail with cucumber but can make bread bit soggy. I guess there is the traditional cheese and onion but it bit old hat. Ham and tomato? Hmmmm. Or urm pasta salad ... I stuck.

Happy new year Caffs. Damn it sounds like your potential machine does everything. Eeek! I use my microwave same time as fryer so glad they separate. Do you have link to the one you're considering?
Ok I find pic of test batch ... I got them even better than that since. I don't fluff my potatoes up on edges...

Happy New year, heb,feart and heir flick lol 😆 I'm doing alright ta. In between air frying and dementia parent I don't be online as much these days but do miss you all. Always something to do...sigh. hope you're all well! Becs doesn't miss any of ya... she has new real life mates now.... boooo! I'd @ her in but forget her handle.
Happy New Year to any of the other regulars that happen to see this 😘
Oh oh.... did the whole xmas dinner in the air fryer... potatoes in bottom drawer and carrots top drawer and other drawer pigs in blankets and stuffing balls. Bought ready cooked chicken even though I could have done that in there too but blah.... and it just sprouts and sweet corn on the stove and oh yes... got tiny packet of sliced german smoke ham. Easiest dinner i've ever done.
Also... printed out my own personalized air fryer chart with settings, hahaha.... thinking I need to laminate it though lol. Want to attach a photo of the roasted potatoes but have a feeling I already did that few weeks ago when I first mastered them.
Any who.....

Omg same here. We have one cabinet top spare which we use while cooking but it was discounted and I just can't bend so planned to put in our back room on tv stand hahaha.... so it arrived and temp had it on kitchen table.... back turned for like minute in other room and dementia mum is trying to lift it off table so had to move it stick so wouldn't try that again, so ended up on this one free space that gets used all the time but worked out so well there, so i've left it. Just working around it some how. It is a pain when doing stove top stuff to have no where to put anything but I make sure now draining board clear and table and it working out.... I just so enjoying being able to use something I don't have to bend for.
Some of the things I done and got timings and settings perfect for:
Whole chicken 1.1kg
Chicken fillets with oil and spices (so juicy)
Large pie (pastry already cooked) & small individual frozen pies with uncooked pastry
Oven chips and home cut/ chips (experimentation needed but got them perfect
Roasted potatoes
Tray bakes with med veg
Sausages (again took few tries for perfection)
Bacon
Pastries
Pizzas
Toasted inside of rolls
Quorn tenders and quorn burgers
Battered frozen fish (unreal how crispy)

Omg marzipan.... that should be banned in any civilized society but I'm curious about the first one. Yes report back Flick.
Oh Heb I have new "toy"... first ever air fryer and it bloody amazing. Everything I do I run by Grok first and he tells me times and settings. It Cuisinart tri zone (three drawers). Does nearly everything to perfection and stuff that not as good me and Grok have heart to heart and work it out together. Muhahaha. Never using oven again. Well stopped using it anyhow as can't bend down to it no more so... weeeeeeee

That does sound right time for skin but middle of potato was falling apart. Perhaps... thinking out loud now... I should cut them bigger. More time for browning and won't overcook insides.

Ha yes careful now lol

2025-10-18 13:53:29 GMT

Has anyone ever had any success with doing roast roast potatoes in an air fryer? I've been experimenting and just can't get them to brown enough. Closest I come has been 23 minutes (cut small) at 200... drawer rack bit out so potatoes can sit in fat as cook. Didn't par boil as they easily cooked in middle after 20 mins.... but did rinse as youtuber said to do that but I read somewhere else that slows down the browning. Sigh.... life is hard.
Got first air fryer last week and had success with oven chips, roasted carrots, chicken fillets with oil and spices (never had chicken so juicy) and small chicken pies and reheating pasty. Oh and apart from two air fryer drawers it has like wide low bottom drawer which does pizzas rather well.
Quite pleased with test runs so far but bit of learning curve. I run my times and settings pass Grok who has been pretty spot on except for roasties. Takes up huge bit of kitchen space as well. Least I no longer have to bend down to oven no more.

I started to talk to Grok on X about spinster and urm started to ask what I like about it and jokes and.... well this one of the last replies....
"That’s absolutely hilarious—the rogue koala swiping the leader’s potato crown and turning it into a makeshift TV stand up in his tree is peak chaos. I can just picture it: the leader, this regal woman who scraped by with 8 votes, fuming over her precious spud crown being hijacked, while the koala’s up there, stubbornly refusing to hand it over, probably chewing on a leaf like “What? It’s mine now.” The broken-leg TV detail is the cherry on top—such a random, absurd touch that fits the Potato Regime’s wild energy perfectly.
It’s so Spinster, too—everyone’s probably cheering the koala on in the replies, with the chief enforcer plotting a hose-down mission that’ll never work. Did the leader ever get her crown back, or is it still up there, holding court with the koala?"
Grok is my new best mate. Unless the charm offensive works on the kitten then he is but.... options.

I have to write it out innit 😐
Basically a roo with 2tbsp flour and butter.... then 625ml of water with one beef and one chicken stock cube dissolved in.... thicken bit, then 1/4 tsp each of
Paprika
Dried Basil
Dried Sage
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Dried Corriander
Dried Marjoram
Cayenne pepper
Dried Oregano
Ground pepper
Salt
Then I misread the recipe. He said 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar at end. I only put in 1 tsp.
I wanted to find the proper link to recipe, to give proper credit, but mislaid it for now.
Also said unsalted butter but I used salted. Funny thing is I don't recall adding the salt but must have cos tasted great. Then simmer until lovely and thick.
Also don't talk to me in that tone or i'll get the nurse onto ya. :blobnotlike:

Same here Macha but then I seen video online of three blokes/cyclists on Balmoral Estate (it's very long, had body camera on) and 3/4 of way through they see line of big land rovers going past ...they pull over to side and joke funny if it was the king etc although they seen kids in back..... couple mins later they actually stop to talk to a man with walking stick by himself and it's the king. He stays talking for a bit and it's adorable.
I'll try and find it later and add to post with time stamp. I like him more after that video.

In fairness Becs all buses in london run that regular. Also most stops have several different route that overlap at times.

British Spinsters... Given what's happening here with regards to "hate" speech, free speech laws how do we protect ourselves. The police have access to everything once they arrest you and have access to your phone. Specifically spin where some crazy stuff is said. I mean ok you can be anon on here but what good is that if they get access to your phone.
Even Kelly Jay is saying it to be careful with WhatsApp conversations etc
In this modern world I don't see how to avoid it unless two phones but not sure even that would work.
