The stronger it is the less palatable it becomes ok if you only wanted to look at them on the shelves but we eat ours
Well so do we, if we make em OK.
We have no trouble preserving fruit in alcohol, they turn out lovely, Creme de Cassis was a miss last time as we must've got the mix a bit too hot or simmered it for too long.
Our jams. marmalade and jellies usually turn out absolutely fine and if they don't we know how to correct 'em.
But I can make "cornichons" over and over again and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Tis a mystery. :stars:
 
The old one is well over 10 years old
Old oven or old Air-fryer? I'd be well flipped off if an oven packed up after that time.
Of our two airfryers, both identical one in each country, both from John Lewis via China, both have the ptfe coming away. One we noticed in time so the basket is ok and we wash it up by hand, the other we must have put in the D/W a few times as the PTFE is coming away slightly in the basket, which I am not happy with.
W reckons they were one of the first out and cost about £50.
Typical of something she bought as a gadget, we hardly used it until the price of electric shot up.
 
Wind sets our house alarm off sometimes.
It happened yessdi when I was upstairs getting changed. I shouted down to W to use the remote to turn it off. She tried, it didn't work.
So I had to come down, got the spare out, it didn't work either, so tried to remember the code to turn it off, that we never use. All this with the internal alarm doing our heads in.
Finally remembered it and turned it off. Phew.
Opened up the remotes, (never looked inside them before) one of the aerials promptly fell out and the red LED fing with it. :mad: (Shucks). Expected to find button batts but no, were both the little 12 v 23 amp numbers. No wonder they have lasted absolutely years!!
But no wonder the neighbours who look after our house when we are away said theirs wasn't working!

Hey ho, off to Amazon, or somewhere, we go!

I have been "told" to "write the code down somewhere" (It is in fact in the handbook, and I don't remember where it has got to! Shhh!)

It's the old air fry that's 10.. it could even be 15.. i think that's not bad for something with an elephant and mooving parts

An elephant and moving parts. Like a fan oven you mean??
Only ever had to replace one element in a fan oven and strangely never the fan!
Let's face it, an air-fryer is just basically a counter-top fan oven with a removable basket and holder.
Or are yours much more complex than that? Ours admittedly are simple ones.

Take your point and yes it's a simple one, but the rotating bit inside makes bad noises..
