Roasted almonds and walnuts with the Philips AirFryer

Before we had the Philips AirFryer, the microwave was our equipment of choice for roasting nuts. With almonds, spread a layer of almonds on a large plate, microwave on high for two minutes, stir them a little and spread them out again, microwave on high for another two minutes, and they were done. We had tried roasting nuts in a non-stick pot, but it required constant stirring and it took a long while for the nuts to roast. Leaving them in our toaster oven usually led to the nuts getting burnt.

Making apple chips with the Philips AirFryer

For a heck long time I have wanted a food dehydrator to make root vegetable chips like Terra's, to make snacks like dried okra and carrots, and "sundried" tomatoes for salads. The cheapest dehydrator in Singapore is an Ezi Dry; the smallest one with I think 5 trays is sold at Tangs S$218 and the bigger one is sold at S$318. I have seen an Excalibur at ToTT for more than S$600.
