What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

Dutch herring salad with a failed attempt at air fryer dutch bitterballen. I have done these successfully in the past using a tin of stew thickened with a roux and then stirring in bloomed gelatine. I didn't add enough gelatine this time so the chilled stew was not congealed enough to roll into balls before coating in flour, egg, oiled breadcrumbs and air fried.

This time the hubby remembered to buy beets for the salad but forgot to add capers.

I knew a Dutch couple who moved to Chicago and when they craved bitterballen she made them from scratch which was a 3 day affair. Day 1: Make a very gelatinous beef broth using a lot of bones. Day 2: Make a thick veal stew and chill overnight. Day 3: Roll congealed stew into golf balls, coat in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs and deep fry.

Soup looks fab, love the dash of oil for a snap @pjg2015

@acpgee bitterballen sounds amazing... enjoy the variety in your meals. Almost tempted to try an air fryer.

Readymeal picked up on way home, blackened chicken, broccoli, mashed red potatoes, and (salty) mushroom gravy. Warmed and stirred a bit for a stew like bowl.

Served with a plum, decaf black tea.

Cheat's Hainanese chicken rice. I peeled off the skin for chicken crackling air fried on top of some courgette drizzled with olive oil. Rice done in the rice cooker using chicken stock instead of water with the naked chicken thighs poached on top. There are typically three condiments served with chicken rice. We had the ginger/spring onion pesto leftover from the last time I made this. We used store bought chilli sauce and store bought sweet Indonesian soy. It's a dinner I could put together despite getting home late from work.

Ravioli & tortelini with several leftover meats, fresh mozzarella - split, served with a cut veg tray and berries

Leftover remainders meat pasta casserole over bed sauteed cabbage & zuchini, and roasted spaghetti squash - gently stirred into a bowl. A few chilled apple slices with cashew butter. Tea.

Lunch salad of spinach & kale with diced yellow summer squash, cabbage, roast butternut, raisins, pecans & sunflower seeds, ceasar dressed tuna.

I’ve only got the one air fryer. I often later potatoes under a roast. I also sometimes roast vegetables in advance and warm them up in the microwave while carving a roast. Basically I stopped using the oven after getting an air fryer, except at Christmas when I roast a whole goose or leg of lamb. Being smaller and better insulated it uses less energy and doesn’t heat up the kitchen.

I recently switched to an inferior performing air fryer because of better looks. Still trying to figure out how best to make focaccia bread in it which comes out either too crusty or soggy in the middle. Roast potatoes take 20% more time on the highest temperature setting. But hey, look how great it looks compared to the old one.

Excuse the staye of my kitchen.

I had the Ninja before the Xiaomi I currently have. I just tossed the basket and tray in the dishwasher. The harsh dishwasher detergent does damage the non stick coating but once that happens line the tray with silicon mat cut to size. The kind sold on amazon made for preventing small items like shrimp and asparagus from falling between grates on the BBQ. Nothing sticks to the silicon.

I got home late from work. Hubby put on the rice cooker and defrosted some beef rendang in the freezer. He has become quite adept at making air fryer roast cherry tomatoes.

I'm getting a meat delivery on Thursday from the organic butcher so we are trying to make a little room in the freezer. Hainanese chicken rice gets rid of some chicken but more importantly a tub of chicken stock. Condiments of chicken crackling, ginger and spring onion pesto, store bought sambal, and sweet Indonesian soy. Sides are leftovers from a Sichuan lunch out, with an ex colleague.

Homemade broth soup with canned vegs & diced roast chicken for dinner.

Wow, glorious! Food looks delish!

Made a broth and used some for a tomato based soup with mixed beans, vegs and roast chicken. Served with dinner salad and cut mango & strawberries. Hot tea.
