Just trying out a meatloaf.

180 degrees 25 minutes flip the loaf and 12 minutes





I put a small piece of foil under the loaf but really not necessary as there was very little fat.

All these meals look amazing!  :o

I'm terribly tempted, but I don't have the bench space. As it is, my microwave is in the laundry (which opens to the kitchen). I think I'd be able to do most of these things in my microwave as it's a convection one. I already use it to cook cakes and bread, and have often done roast vegies in it.

I think it's probably something my son and his fiancee would like, as their oven is hopeless. Might get them one for Christmas if they think they would use it. I asked them if they'd like to share a Thermomix (I wanted to get another one for our house in Albany so I'm not carting mine back and forth) and my son said 'no, he wouldn't use it'. I was quite surprised, but he's never been to a demo. He's seen me use mine over and over, but still not convinced. I think once they have children it will be different.

Sorry, hijacking this thread!!

Back to air fryers. Does anyone who has a convection microwave think it would be a useful gadget still?
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I have put mine in the garage which is just a few steps away and I love it in there. No smell in the house and not taking up bench space.

I have a toaster oven with a large capacity. I have it in the laundry and I haven't bought a an airfryer because the T/O does everything and has a larger capacity than the airfryer. Not quite as quickly but I'm sure a convection oven would be quicker MJ.

It's a Breville. Has a very large capacity. Comes with loads of accessories, such as a rotisserie (which I haven't used) pizza tray, grilling tray, extra tray  ???. $139.00

I use it regularly - at least daily. Have cooked a baked dinner for 6 in it.

What did you buy Gert? No shame in buying if it is going to be used.

Apart from the chiko rolls Gert, it all sounds good to me.  I only like the end bits of chiko rolls  ;D
