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 3,153 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 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 4,275 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Sorry my terminology offends you Oz., but when I purchased my cooker, it said 'Airfryer' on the box. So that's what I 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 571 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 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 YUM the chips were done in the Airfryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 5,364 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 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 6,353 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 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. Yesterday I did my second set of weights. It's already working. Tomorrow I'll be able to go for a swim. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,752 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 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.

DJ360 6,353 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 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

Jill Sparrow 9,575 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Whoops. Forgot it was Saturday. Got nabbed by the Jehovah's Witnesses this morning. I listened politely to their script then gave them a lecture on Buddhist philosophy. As expected, their eyes glazed over as the brainwashing kicked in. Don't listen, don't listen!!! Basically, said I, you're looking at God right now and so am I. If you look at the cat in the window, you're still looking at God and that earthworm on the path is also God. We are all the same. No difference. They scuttled off to bother someone else. One day, they might wake up? Bothering people on a Saturday morning gives them something to do, I suppose... otherwise they might start robbing banks (but not blood banks, of course). 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,153 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Chuffed with myself this morning . Managed to get into 98th position in the virtual team challenge - a global event run by Concept2, the gym equipment manufacturer. Been grinding out the kilometres every day to get into the first 100. Not bad considering that there are 10,141 entries 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
