  1. I have used lots of those particular ones, only bought mine off Amazon.

    Made an area for a two ton caravan by doing about four inches of hardcore, then a couple of inches of MOT Type One. Lay weed fabric supplied with grids followed by the grids, then filled with stone chippings.

    Also did a large patio are without the hardcore, just Type One.

    Here, the left hand side just needed completing.

    Why dont you need to preheat an Air Fryer? If you select,say, 200c and put your food in ,it's not going to hit 200 for 3-4 minutes.

    The only time I have preheated the air fryer is when I made a loaf of bread. I have not yet tried bread without preheating as I have only made one loaf as of yet.

    You haven’t said how long it takes for your conventional oven to reach 190c. I would imagine it is far longer than two or three minutes?

    Because the air is blown at a higher speed than a fan oven and heats up very quickly, like a hot air gun, it will hit temperature in seconds rather than minutes.

    I do a cherry tomato dish in olive oil and balsamic vinegar that takes 40 minutes in a preheated conventional oven. In the air fryer, it takes 20 minutes. Any longer and it would be burnt.

    From experience, buy the biggest , cheapest that you can, make sure you can get a Chicken in the tray. You dont need all the fancy buttons as 99% of the time you will use it manually, a dishwasher safe tray is a bonus. Dont fall for thinking that it will save you money, mine is a 2.4kw which is more than my electric oven on the range cooker. 

    But you don’t need to preheat an air fryer. That’s where your savings come from.

    Also, I find they cook food quicker than the conventional oven.

  5. We have both Nespresso Vertuo and a Sage espresso machine.

    Both are excellent, Vertuo for a quick coffee and Sage if you like to dabble with beans, latte art, etc.

    Vertuo coffees are more expensive, but have a terrific selection of strengths, sizes from espresso to an extremely large mug.

    Milk is taken care of with a Krupps milk frother. It’s by far the best frother we have found (outside of steaming it yourself with a  great deal of skill required).

    The Sage is like a traditional espresso machine, but much of the process is automated with a massive amount of adjustments available. It really is an excellent machine (I used to own a commercial espresso machine and grinder, so I have a bit of experience). The big downside is the price, here’s a link to the web page: -

    Hope this helps with your quest for coffee nirvana.
