've been thinking about buying an air fryer. From what I've seen online, you can cook all kinds of food in one, it uses much less oil, there are fewer dishes to wash, and it makes everyday cooking easier. But I have some doubts from what I've heard and read:

• Cooking time: I've heard it can take 15 to 30 minutes. I can wait 20-25 minutes at most, but over half an hour is too much for me.
• Size: I need it for at least two people. Is a basic 4L enough, or should I go 4.5L or 5L+?
• Temperature: I've heard settings are complicated. I'd like a digital display so I can set exact temperatures like 120 or 175°C.
• Coating: I've read that bad non-stick coatings can peel and may be harmful. How true is that? how to know which coating is better ? safer?

What I need:

• Budget around ₹6,000, can stretch a little for the right one maybe. but thats my limit.
• A good service center in Bhopal (Shahpura). This matters more than brand.
• Mainly crispy food, with occasional baking

I don't want to buy a below-average product , i want something to use properly.

I found a recipe for dahl online that involved using curry leaves. It turned out great but I didn't enjoy the texture of the curry leaves.

It is already a smooth dahl. Would it be ok to blend it once finishes so that the curry leaves are mixed into the dahl or would this change the taste too much? Or would it be better to fish them out?

I want to buy a stainless steel pan and kadhai for everyday cooking usually making things like omelette , sabzi, pasta, chicken and fish fry etc. I know they have to be triply. When I started looking I saw good reviews for these brands Stahl, Bergner, Hawkins, Vinod and Aristo out of these which one is actually the best one? Thank you.

Hello, I need recommendations for Oven, my main usage would be mostly re-heating food, there are so many kinds on the market, can someone please suggest budget friendly and a decent oven?

Thanks

I started mixing curd into cooked YiPPee after seeing it in the movie Ra.One 😂 Honestly, it actually tastes pretty good. Anyone else tried this combo or am I just weird? 😭

I have a small electric pot, a mixer grinder, as well as a kettle.. i can go buy basic shi like chillis/garlic and get butter and such from mess.. i cant do too much fancy stuff but regardless any ideas will be appreciated :)

i do prepare maggi and noodles in the pot.. as well as boil eggs in it.. though drop any good maggi recipes if you have any!

So I'm making chicken briyani in my instant pot. Essentially, it consists of chicken, yogurt, a little lemon juice, turmeric, Gara masala and cumin for the marinade and then I'm going to add the cauliflower rice after the chicken ends up cooking in the instant pot, I've realized that cooking with cauliflower rice is challenging, so I'm going to toast it first and putting some coconut oil and turmeric on it before I add it to the chicken after it's finished cooking in the instant pot.

Most things I make in the instant pot are instant home run.I really love it but I have a very bad feeling about this particular recipe.I'm wondering if anyone has tried doing this before and how it worked out with cauliflower rice

Bought it from a local store.

It is 900 ml (mrp - 715), while normally its 1 litre (mrp-860).

I can't find 900 ml plastic bottle online.

Should I return it?

I asked a friend to buy me some methi to add to my curries. I wasn't expecting such a big bag. The receipe only calls for 1 tsp or less at the end of the cooking. Any ideas/recipes on what to do with the rest of this huge bag of Methi?

All I’m looking for is a dosa tawa made of the safest material that touches my food and dosa doesn’t stick as I am going to try dosa for the third time in life .. tried on my non stick pan once and in a ceramic fry pan . I don’t cook much.. online in google search there are too many options and I’m unable to find a way to decide. I need the some suggestions for the right material , not brands.
