Can anyone tell me why they persist in calling them "airfryers' as they are just small fan forced convection ovens and do not fry food. Is it just marketing hype? most wall ovens have the same function and I can see why being smaller uses less power but fryers they are certainly not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Had a disturbing moment today. Bus overturned in Somerset and my granddaughter and her fiance were on it. They are ok though - just shaken and bruised. Just when everything seems to be going smoothly this sort of thing can happen. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Sorry my terminology offends you Oz., but when I purchased my cooker, it said 'Airfryer' on the box. So that's what IÂ call it. I KNOW it doesn't fry but my missus knows what I'm talking about when I cook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 792 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 In Canada they call them Airfryers suppose the end result is the same as using fat, just had fried eggs and chips and baked beans for tea YUMÂ the chips were done in the Airfryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Lying in bed this morning watching the Red Arrows. How many people can say that! It was just the synchro pair who are practicing at Syerston. I saw the others yesterday on my foray into darkest Lincolnshire. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,712 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Finally got my car back this evening. New ECU..or so I'm told. It's running very sweetly indeed. So after over a month I'll be able to get about again. Â Yesterday I did my second set of weights. It's already working. Tomorrow I'll be able to go for a swim.

nonnaB 4,893 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Had a scare yesterday morning. In my car I heard such a loud bang. I knew I hadn’t bumped into anything but looked in my rear mirror and saw what the damage was. A man was walking towards almost on his knees with apologies. He hadn’t looked before opening his own car door and knocked my wing mirror to bits. Whilst we were discussing I saw the carabinieri coming slowly towards us so I stopped them and they took over. The result was he wanted to pay there and then but he said he had problems as he had a rented car. Then he just wanted to exchange phone numbers. The carabinieri wrote everything down and checked mine and his license and his documents. We ended up swapping phone numbers and he gave me his business card. The strange thing was that he was a rep that came to our house when we were looking for new Ch boilers for our son and daughter. I vaguely thought I’d seen him before but didn’t realize that it was him til I got home and read his card. The car is waiting to be repaired and the bill sent to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Re: exercise. It's nor a new thing for me. I was a regular swimmer, walker and weight trainer for years, but knee problems have messed with that. On top, the cardio lot were advising caution..especially re: swimming. But I've had the all clear for swimming and weights, subject to common sense, decent technique etc. I'm walking better since getting one knee fixed, but the other is getting worse and limits me to about 5000 steps max on a good day. According to one leaflet I've been given 'everybody' should walk 10000 steps per day. Blimey!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
