Lidl Air Fryer

[levithecat]

I make good use of my big Air Fryer at home, but it is too large to easily carry and store in the van.
Iidl Silvercrest 2 litre 1000 watt Air Fryer. £19.95. - last week's offer. Great size. Ideal for 2 people. You need hookup, or a higher power generator/power pack. I'll take the air fryer when we're expecting to use it.
1st meal was chicken & chips with salad. Cooked the chicken 1st, kept that warm in foil, cooked the chips and reheated the chicken for last minute. £25, including the air fryer - cheaper than a pub meal.

How is it on exhaust fumes? Our home unit runs a really efficient filter.

As an alternative, we carry a small two serving slow cooker. Really neat for stews/casseroles/curry etc.
Leave it on all day, ready on return.

Can you whip this up in 15 minutes with no mess or faffing about?

I love my Cosori Mini Air Fryer. Max 900 watts but very efficient and once it reaches temps it drops to 20 watts. And the optional silicon inserts make cleaning a breeze.

No more cooking smells than normal frying etc., probably less. Keep windows, door and vents open as needed. Of course, with an extension to ead, you can cook outside.

I use and love my Cadac BBQ too. The air fryer just gives another option and uses hookup electric if your paying for it anyway.

A small air fryer has been my best purchase ever. Cadac's are great except in freezing rain and a bit less that that, but air fryers are all year round and a 900w one runs 0ff my little eco flow delta so can be used outside as well. The air fryer and my Vango induction hob are the two items that led me to be able to say "no gas" in my new van.

Why “no gas”?

Why “no gas”?

Because Baked Beans creates more than enough

I would whip that up in a few minutes at the local chippy!

Why “no gas”?

I've never used it in the last 5 years of camping.

All my cooking stuff is low wattage, easily managed by my delta flow power station, and having no gas frees up worktop space, cupboard storage and safety checks. Being portable, both power source and equipment, means also I can cook wherever I want to without buying or storing lots of outdoor cooking stuff.

My power station just sits virtually out of the way by the rear n/s door, plugged into it's own dedicated 12v socket and happily recharging either on the move or off my big lithium battery which in turn is recharged by the solar panel on the roof.

A nice, and accidental, aspect of a rib bed is at night the bed folds over the power station which means I can plug in loads of accessories and recharge with them all under the bed and out of the way overnight. I never planned it that way when opting for no gas but it works brilliantly.

Would be nice to see a picture of your set up if you have time

It’s just one of these

Sounds good - does this all work without a hook up? We've been thinking about getting solar panels but not sure how much they would do, and we rarely use a hook up.

Which Delta Flow Power Station do you use Jen? Enough power/capacity or would you choose a different model with hindsight? Thanks

I am not intending to pay for hook-up with this camper. I am only intending to use it for short stops, anything over 3 or 4 days in one place would see me glamping or in hotels. no difference in lifestyle really as I rarely have stayed more than three days in any one place.

My solar panel shoves 270w into a 300a battery on a good day. I have a 2kw inverter permanently plugged into a 12v socket. It means I can run air fryer and Remoska at the same time, air fryer and induction hob, Kettle and air fryer etc.

Delta flow 3 and very happy with it.. It can comfortably run on 2kw but in basic form only has a 1kwh battery so I have an additional battery pack giving me a comfortable 2kw. Very pleased with it as the ability to just add extra batteries gives great flexibility. If I'm only going away for one night the extra battery stays sat at home. Currently there is a great deal on Deltaflow 3, basic unit plus spare battery for £975.

I also have a very old Anker 1kwh which now I just use as a self-contained extension socket when outside at home. I found 1kwh quite restrictive, why I bought the delta flow. 2kwh is quite enough for what I want and so far one extra battery gives me so much power I feel I'm never going to run out, given that they all recharge overnight.

Yesterday there was a free electricity period with Octopus so my house was humming with everything being charged up

I give my gas bottle a hug every day. Simplicity itself.
