Convection oven: model selection, advice, reviews (2)

I recently got a box of wood chips from an apple tree. I soaked them in water, shoved them into the holes near the heating element, but there was no special smoke and smell, it was necessary to put it even closer to the heater

Dries at 70 degrees, 5-6 hours

cooked jam yesterday - well, just a bomb! well, not quite cooked - just covered the apricots with sugar - boiled them, and so they stood in the pan for a week, there was no time ... and then I remembered about our miracle - help - just rinsed the cans - put jam from the pan and 15 minutes at 170 g, With only lids - cool - cool and done!

I recently got a box of wood chips from an apple tree. I soaked them in water, shoved them into the holes near the heating element, but there was no special smoke and smell, it was necessary to put it even closer to the heater

In the instructions, they generally recommend putting these chips on the bottom of the flask, in my opinion there is zero benefit from this. The chips should smolder like in a smokehouse, (because the temperature there is very high on the pallet where they lie). In my airfryer nothing smoked in this way, only with liquid smoke, look!

[Asya Klyachina]

Asya Klyachina, I had a little smell, the air blew the pieces of wood to the side of the piece of iron covering the heater. The chips have darkened, some have turned black, now I will somehow try to bring them very close to the heater. I don't understand how it can smolder at the bottom - the temperature is not the same

I saw this in the store


Sugar bowl, price 119 rubles. I’m thinking, why not use it in an airfryer (like a pot)?

Risky. Usually on glass containers it is indicated whether it is suitable for use in a microwave oven or heat-resistant glass or not. It can fly into thousands of pieces. Or maybe not scatter.
My husband once had a case at work. We were sitting in the office, working, and at one of the table at the edge of the table there was an empty glass-ceramic cup on a saucer. This black one, with flowers, they were sold in all markets. I have 6 such things in the sideboard. She stood and waited for lunch break, so that tea was poured into her. And suddenly it exploded - it exploded into hundreds of smallest fragments, miraculously not injuring anyone. Moreover, no one touched it, neither pushed nor poured it. By her own. Riddle. That's it - you won't believe it. And this was with a dozen witnesses. Maybe some stresses in the glass during production turned out, the Chinese made poor quality bugs. After that incident, I never take these cups out of the sideboard at all. And to throw out the hand does not rise - a gift.

I had at work too: a glass cup (you know, there are a lot of such SCHs for sale) - I pour tea - it will crack with a crash))) - I barely managed to bounce back.

It is better to use old Soviet 0.5-liter cans in AG, they are not afraid of anything

I use them. But I would also like aesthetics

Well then, just buy a glass saucepan, there are a lot of them right now, I have one, it was written on the package that you can bake in it. True, she did not use it in AG, she is small. I bought it for my yogurt maker. But also, I used it once and again make yogurt in jars, it works out better. And in a glass saucepan in the microwave, I mostly roast food.

I want these

But they are sold only in Moscow. Horror!

hachu-hachu-hachu !!! A fan of thin glass.

hachu-hachu-hachu !!! A fan of thin glass.

HURRAH!!! I found them in St. Petersburg !!! I'm going to buy food tomorrow. And the price is normal -190 rubles

it will not work in a glass saucepan, I tried it repeatedly, because of the thickness of the walls.

That. what i want is thin-walled glassware. The pots we use in the microwave (thick-walled glass) are not suitable. Or did you cook in such pots?

no, in a thick-walled saucepan for microwave ovens.

I didn’t want to buy an airfryer - and so there is enough equipment in the kitchen. And the day before yesterday my husband and I brought me to Auchan - and there Blaze AG 201. What kind of animal - I have no idea, I was led to the price - 600 rubles - it's cheaper than a marinator and a salad dryer! What to do with him now?

Use it for your pleasure! With a purchase!

You can dry grass on a small scale, grill vegetables, hot sandwiches. I use it almost every day for baking. I like it until I get disappointed.

I have this and the chicken in it is just wonderful, it doesn't dry at all, but juicy and fried.

Thank you, ladies, for your support! Well, for herbs I have the simplest dryer, and a bath. Vegetables yesterday - eggplant - baked, like nothing happened Next in line - a chicken. Do you need to use a special dish for baking?

[Olga]

Olga, ha, 600 rubles is a laugh, not a price. Girls are right - enjoy the tasty treats. Even if you later push it further or use it only for a certain number of dishes, then 600 rubles will justify itself in a week.
Congratulations!

Thank you, Ksyusha! Therefore, I bought it under the disapproving glances of her husband.

and I finally made friends with the grill in such-and-such heat .. For my birthday I did everything in it and chicken breast and pastries .. Everything is cool!

Do you need to use a special dish for baking?

No, not required. I bake on the bottom rack, on parchment, on a steamer. Bread, rolls, puffs, pies. I baked small casseroles in silicone molds and bought ready-made molds from foil. If there is no lower lattice, then on the middle, upper - an expansion ring should be placed. Learn, make friends
We have a lot of interesting recipes for AG here.

For that kind of money, of course, in terms of ours, I would not calm down alone. I would take both mom and daughter and son (for the future) Is there a guarantee for him? Is it shade or halogen? I love my AG and the cartoon too (so that no one is offended)

It can be taken because of the additional flask. Wasp, in my opinion, did not get along well with the flask. And here such a price is magical! Yes, for a miracle unit!

And how many liters does he have? I need mine cracked slightly. Really very cheap. And I bake a large covered cake in a form from the Price-fix store, where everything is at the same price - 37 rubles. There, such non-stick thin metal square molds are sold, with low sides. So in them everything is fine in the airfryer baked fried. And the pies are just on the grates included.

Volume - 7 liters.
Girls, there was a sale at the end of the month - there were also HP for 1 thousand rubles, steamers, a Philips juicer - and everything is two or three times cheaper than usual.

Yes, I have a factory marriage of the bowl, which did not make itself felt for a whole year. I am not overjoyed with the second grill, especially the middle grill included. And it roasts harder than the previous one. Oh, what a red-haired crispy chicken in him today turned out - feast for the eyes and delicious!
PS While looking for a grill, I picked up three more devices for a penny at a local flea market

Mash, is this grill like a heating element?
And I also want to ask. You once wrote to me, sho little kitchenette, nothing intermeddle, but right now the same or better. If the same, then where do you fit these AG + three additional devices from the flea market and so on. Share the secret of how to expand the walls of the kitchen?

I already wrote somewhere that the devices moved to the balcony, we stretched a couple of extension cords there, and now I can grill and bake pies even in the very heat. I myself am chilling under the air conditioner. The multicooker and the pancake maker sometimes live on the bedside table near the computer, when something needs to be fried (that is, stir), and I was asked to do urgent work and send it. Plus, after buying the second AG, I collected up to a heap of lids, pots, metal shovels, pans, cast iron - transported to my mother, she has gas, they will come in handy. They only took up space, more than a year in the locker and did not look at them. So now + two free shelves!

Hi) Girls, dear, the second day I'm sitting on the site - I've read a bunch of recipes, I want to cook something already, but for a start I just can't make a choice, because my old Chinese honestly served almost 3 years and began to die. And yet which is better Ten or halogen, brand or smile. Brand 35128 or Smile AG 1905 I just can't decide which model to buy (((

And yet which is better Ten or halogen, brand or smile. Brand 35128 or Smile AG 1905 I just can't decide which model to buy (((

I won't tell you about brands, but about the heating element - halogen, then knock on Masha (Wasp), she recently acquired both, she will tell you which one she likes best.

Brand 35128 or Smile AG 1905 I just can't decide which model to buy (((

I'm here: hi: I don't have Smilies and, I hope, won't. There are a lot of complaints about this brand (more than once I wanted to order something the cheapest, but after googling the reviews, I stopped). While the heating element AG is ahead of the halogen one in speed and beauty of cooking. But as they wrote on the forum (I can't find where), even two heating elements can be cooked in different ways. The only thing I adhere to is that in all very hot devices, the controls are mechanical
How much to pay for glass with a heater and a fan - everyone decides for himself. If mine both break, I'll go to the flea market and get something similar, but rather with a metal bowl.

Thank you girls !!! I ordered Brand 35128 - they will bring it tomorrow, I am very happy - I will try your delicious recipes. And since I still have an old halogen one, then I will also write off my impressions in comparison with the heating element)))

Thank you girls !!! I ordered Brand 35128 - they will bring it tomorrow, I am very happy - I will try your delicious recipes. And since I still have an old halogen one, then I will also write off my impressions in comparison with the heating element)))

Vega_373 , and what happened to your old one. And so I realized that he did not die, but began to die, that is, it works, but it warms worse, or the fan jams or something else?

I don't know exactly what happened to him, but apparently something is moving away. You have to pull the cord for a very long time and stubbornly in order to find the position in which it will work, and the same trouble with the handle - the cover is removable, and the button responsible for turning off the grill when it is lifted has become too sensitive from time to time, therefore you have to look for a position for a long time. which the grill works, otherwise it is absolutely serviceable ((((But since I use the grill all the time, this is annoying, so I decided to take it on the bracket this time)

Oh, now aerogrills have become so cheap that you don't need to go to a flea market. This makes me happy. (y) Auchan is full of cheap different brands. Only my Hotter is not thinking of retiring. : girl_haha: And it's for sure that mechanical control and heating elements are much more reliable.Now there are jars with blanks in it every day, but not once, I sterilize him, too, at least henna.

But since I use the grill all the time - it's annoying, so I decided to take it on the bracket this time)

Good luck with your choice. Then write what you took and what your impressions of the work were.

Yes, I just bought the first one in Auchan for 3 kopecks - and I must give him his due for my 1500 - he honestly served almost 3 years. Brand 35128 will be brought in the evening - I will certainly write about my impressions

It will also be interesting for me to read about your impressions, since I have also been looking at this airfryer for some time (I will even say more - I want it). But he is very huge ...

Hello everyone. Well, it's been 3 days since they brought me my green brand))) So far I've tried a little - baked wings and apples. On first impressions - the model is very happy. The lid on the bracket is, of course, much more convenient, although I have a very small kitchen. Heating element differs from halogen insignificantly in principle, at least at first glance. It cooks the same amount in time - quite a long time (it took 40-50 minutes for the wings, as in the old one, it may not have adapted yet), but I liked the result more - less dried, juicy and excellent crust! True, the device itself heats up much more than with a halogen - in winter I will warm up with it)))) Well, the presence of a backlight from a halogen is already a convenient thing, whatever one may say - but it's a trifle. I also wanted to ask about warming up the bowl - should it be warmed up before cooking or not? But in any case, my birthday is tomorrow - I want to please my own with your delicious recipes - so I'll write more to do what and how)

[Vega_373]

Vega_373, congratulations on the "frog"! Show us at least him, that is. through the eyes of an eyewitness. And then we only saw in the picture.

And to warm up the AG or not - that's as you like best. I DO NOT warm up more often.

[Vega_373]

Vega_373, I also congratulate, let only vnosnyashki come out of him and wish that the guests really like what he cooks!

Thank you, girls) Tomorrow I'll take a picture of everything, post it and tell it)

I join the congratulations!

Nevertheless, I fell in love with the aerogrill very much, very much. I create something almost every day. Now, for example, magic meatballs

Natasha, how delicious! Did you do it in silicone molds? Baked in silicone?

Natasha, do you have minced pork too? but interesting, with beef probably will be dry? I haven't eaten pork for a hundred years, I must try. somehow I hammered into my head that it is harmful and I can't ... just as harmful as everything else, but I lost the habit ...

[Natusika]

did you do it in silicone molds? Baked in silicone?

Yes, Vika, I have 6 cupcake tins. silicone. Everything is fine and decent))) And why bake there? I first steamed meatballs in a cartoon, and then poured them into a silicone mold and filled them with an egg. By prescription Natusika she boils meatballs in water.
I cooked it from minced chicken, added onions and grated eggplant, an egg, a spoonful of flour, salt.

In silicone molds in AG I also cooked a manna-curd casserole, but covered the top with foil, otherwise it quickly sticks, and the rest is raw.

but interesting, with beef probably will be dry?

Tanya, I would add a little lard to the beef Or more vegetables, the same eggplant, carrots, onions. It will be great!
I also add eggplant to fishcakes I saw it somewhere on YouTube and I liked it.
