i love chips.

Beef Dripping in proper fryer, not these namby-pamby round tefal/ninja things. High flash point as well, excellent for chips

Not interested in the other rubbish they give you with this. (should give choice take few £ off not to have that stuff)

The steak is all you really want.

Overpriced 10oz steak is not worth this back in US I used to go direct to farmers and buy highest quality meat and it would be half the price of this (I know different country but that is not the point most of the markup I expect is going to the restaurant)

Mrs KD bought it for my 60th last year,SB.
it is certainly pricey but i'm a convert since ive been useing it.
Easy to light, easy to use after a little practice,gets up to nearly 800 F /400 C, so you get a proper steakhouse sear if you wish.
Pizza good also.
unless its pishing down, I use it 3-4 times a week, so a very average £8 bit of ribeye comes out like a £30 plus restuarant cut.
Obviously you can marinade or use rubs etc if thats your thing.

You've changed

I'm not sure about the beef dripping which is a coronary waiting to happen but I agree with how to cook the.

I succumbed to the advertising surrounding these air fryers and bought one but although they may well have cooked healthier chips they tasted horrible, just like oven cooked chips so I ended up giving it away.

I replaced it with a deep fat fryer dubbed "professional style" because of it's rectangular aluminium look.

It makes superb chips but is a right bugger to clean so I don't have chips that often as I hate cleaning it even though most of it goes in the dishwasher

Just cut potatoes into wedges, skin on, coat with olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Bake for 30mins until golden, better than any fried potato equivalent and much, much healthier.

this is very nice & a good alternative.
I use large baking spuds chopped in wedges or giant chip shapes.
However, if you need a proper chippy fix, it wont do.
Bar buying from a chippy, deep fried in lard is the way
(very bad for you I agree, but if its not too regular..)

Sounds great King, if you or anyone needs a good chip tip, try lidls homestyle oven chips, you can fry them to, which is my option, and they come out great,best out there in my opinion, and at £1 a bag, its win win!

I recommend McCain Home chips, must be crinkle cut. Never used to buy crinkle cut but these crinkle edges get them a good level of crispy.

When I can be bothered, this is, indeed the form of chip

Agree about cleaning & yes, that's the type ive got. The good thing about dripping is you can leave it in the fryer & it solidifies, then reuse as n when, general rule of thumb, lasts about 8-10 weeks, then spoon it out as a solid, I sometimes add to it from when I've done a roast(beef or chicken).

Never use flavoured or olive oils for chips, low flash point & will burn & taste bitter.

Olive oil shouldn't be used for cooking and these being healthy nope far from it.
