It's good fun playing with the air-fryer. Most things do really well in it.
We have discovered one thing it isn't worth doing in there though...........
Sausages!

Every thing is the same these days no quality control to much stuff made in China people not doing the job thay are payed for crap materials every one wants cheap cheap the list goes on.that's the trouble whith globalisation in for a quick buck and disappear on a different note its piissing down here got board yesterday going in the work shop to find something to do for my sanityOn another tack.....
Boy do I hate buying DIY stuff in France.
It has taken ages for a support bar for disabled peeps to come. It arrived yessdi and today I put it up next to the bog in the guest bathroom.
It is so badly made it is untrue. Stainless tube about 1" and a bit diameter about 24 cms long bent at either end 90 degs. Nut welded into the end so you can mount a mounting plate on it.
Three screw holes per mounting plate and a push fit cover plate to go over it, same diameter hole in the middle so you slide it down the bar.
How long to put it up?
Ages!
Cos the tube is so badly cut at the ends that the mounting plates, if tightened down on the nut at each end, the two won't sit flat on the wall in two dimensions.
The mounting holes were just a fraction too small to take a 4 mm threaded pan head bolt, so they had to be drilled out. (plasterboard so metal cavity fixings were needed.) so had to be really precise in drilling the wall and fitting the fittings
I thought about recutting at least one end of the tube, but the welds holding the bit holding the nut to the outer tube are so naff I didn't dare. (Don't have a welder over here).
So I ended up having fiddle around like mad to mount the plates in exactly the right position while allowing a bit of slack on the central bolt holding each plate to the tube/bar. So once all bolts were in tight the bar didn't move.
Tightened each bolt by hand then loosened off two flats and secured in place to plate with tape.
How utterly naff is that!
Still is now strong enough so W won't fall when leaning on it to get on and off the bog! and it doesn't move.
The other one in the downstairs bog I fitted years ago in about 1/2 an hour, (most of that would have been getting the tools out and putting them back) went in like a dream, is better looking and wider for grip. Prolly came from B&Q. And cost no more.
And why haven't I done this before you ask?
Well because she only needs to use it temporarily while I replace the downstairs bog. Neither of us thought it would be a big deal and, in the scheme of things it isn't and it's a good thing to have, as so many of our guests are getting to be a bit old or infirm.
Tis an age thing!
Anyway, bog replacement on for tomoz, maybe after we've been to market etc.
Sleep tite all!
