Being a bit of a technophobe I will need a good cookbook but most of the Ninja ones on Amazon say they are in black and white with no pictures. Can someone on here with a Ninja recommend a good cookbook. Thank you. We have this one available on Amazon, it’s in colour and has U.K. Metric measurements. It’s a self published book, but one of few not written for the US market and it’s weird measuring system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted October 29, 2022 #39483 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I paid our first (increased) electric bill yesterday, and I'm sure the air fryer was a very useful investment. It was only 26 days instead of the usual month so I divided the bill (before the discount) by 26, multiplied it by 30 and estimated the approx increase from last month. If my calculations are correct🤔??? then it is a monthly increase of about £22 We've used the same appliances as we normally would, so any saving is down to the air fryer. Maths isn't my strongest suit so I may have got this totally wrong. 🥴 All replies gratefully accepted😊 Avril . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember, a Denon. And my first two CDs - Dire Straits and Mozart ( no idea why !). Have bought stuff from them over the years. Though last time I was in the market for stuff, Currys had a slight edge on price and proximity. As others have said though great customers service on things like extended warranties. Might have another look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it ,our cookery instruction book say's "turn oven to 180 degrees " Now Its facing the wall and I can't get the food back out ! 😐 We have been using the slow cooker and the microwave a lot, which are very cheap to run anyway . I suppose the oven will have it's day when it comes to the Christmas lunches ? A little fact about ovens 😀 Did you know that 'Muffins' spelt backwards... ...is what you do, when you take them out of the oven ? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our monthly standing order is £35 per month, which will incease to just over £50 from November. That is for basically for the same appliances as you, but two freezers, and using a tumble dryer twice a week or so in the winter. However our hot water is gas heated, which could explain some of the differential, but it still seems a high figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
