Good luck with the air fryer, Uff! I love mine. I do part cook potatoes in the microwave first, then drizzle a tiny bit of oil over them before crisping up in the air fryer. Mind you, I did microwave them first when cooking them in the oven as well. Cuts down the cooking time. I do the same with jacket potatoes.
Edited - looks like you were way ahead of me, Uff. They do look good!
Just checked my watch, it is still showing the 1st! Thankfully will not have to adjust it again until December ! Also have a video call with daughter to look forward to in an hours time.
Just eaten mine @Ergates plus I made some Yorkshire puds to go with the roast beef. So simple and very nice indeed. Ten mins to cook for the puds which is about average but a fraction of the cost to cook than an electric oven. I'm so confident that I will use it that I cleaned the big oven this afternoon and no plans to use it any time soon.
Wow, Uff! I didn’t know you could make Yorkshire puddings in it! I’ve waited until I had to put the big oven on, made a couple of dozen, and frozen them to rehear in the air fryer. How did you make them? Do you have to preheat the ramekins first, or can you just pour the batter in? I shall wait with bated breath for instructions! OH will be so happy, he would eat Yorkshire puddings with everything.
I made 4 although only 3 are shown. I found a tip for easy measuring. Get 2 tumblers the same size, an egg in one and equal amounts of flour then milk, salt and pepper. Beat well. Put a little oil into ramekins or similar and heat to sizzling hot in the fryer. Pour into batter into ramekins and into fryer about 190c for about 10 mins or so, perhaps a bit longer. And that's it. I guess you could make one big one in a small cake tin and vary cooking temp and time.
I shall try airfrying the Yorkshires today! Might even double check the quantities too,I’ve got so used to just making the batter ‘by eye’ over the years, but they always seem to work. Haven’t heard about adding vinegar, but might try that. No salt added, as OH is supposed to restrict that, and we’ve got used to it.
You’d usually use an acid like vinegar (or buttermilk) to work with bicarb as a raising agent. But the recipe doesn’t contain bicarb … nor should it … proper Yorkshires are made with plain flour.

If the NHS can be awarded the George Cross, shouldn’t the London Marathon get a similar accolade? Everyone of those charity runners, and on the Great Northern Run too, is inspirational. I would give them all MBEs if I could, so much more deserving than the bulk of those who are currently honoured.
Collectively, the amount of money raised by all the runners over all the years is staggering. Hats off to all of them.
