15 odd minutes at 200c which was a bit too long I reckon.
So next time will do 180 degrees and check it at 10.

200 for 5 minutes (pre-heated) if not frozen and a bit of oil/butter (or maybe brush it with egg?). The calamari should be done by then and the batter crispy. If frozen, 180 for 10 minutes. I would put it on some baking paper so it doesn't stick to the grid, unless you have the fancy extra grill pan.

Yeah this was frozen.
I spray and cook the grid whenever I remember so no sticky problem there.
But I did also do it alongside chips which is why the temp was high, next time I'll split it out.
Also I won't buy calamari rings again, but rather steak strips.

Steak strips, butter garlic, 5 minutes?. Yummy! Think I'm gonna try it when I have money again.

There were pre-battered which was kind of the point.
But in retrospect I think that's part of the problem and should just batter myself.
It's journey.

Has anyone tried vetkoek or a variant of this?

Shoe that would be an interesting one, but I'm pretty sure vetkoek just won't be vetkoek without the oil.

Was thinking the same thing. I will give it a go this weekend. Suggested temp? 200?

Remember some baking paper.. you might just vetkoek your basket too, if the dough starts seeping through the basket..

that's probably too hot - burn outside before inside cooks?

I shall test and find out!
Doesn't look ilke much but it was damn tasty.
3 Layers of sliced courgette, sliced onion, grated cheeder cheese, salt, pepper topped with a mixture of butter, cream & xantham gum (keto recipe).
Had it going for 25 mins @ 190 and it was perfectly done with just the right amount of crunch.

I can't make out what that is.
Lol.. the "outside" is the butter/cream sauce and the darkened "inside top bit" is crispy cheese.

Has anybody here made a whole head of cauliflower in the airfryer yet?
Any guesses on timing and temp?

But why?
Because I want to make roasted cauliflower and the oven is being abused by mom and daughter for birthday cupcakes. While I am at it might just as well try the whole head thing. And cutting into chucks always leaves plenty of smaller pieces making for uneven cooking.
And cauliflower with a pepper cheese sauce is delicious.
For convection ovens (read airfryers) it's advised to reduce the heat by 25F or time by 25%.

Well, if you do go ahead, please REMEMBER to take a picture and post it here, before the sauce goes on.
