@andycarolan My secret tip is to add a bit of red (or even green) pesto to the sandwich to elevate it to the next level

@mandaarrr Ooh, that sounds good. Thanks, will try that!

@andycarolan We just got an air fryer - what are your tips for a successful / delicious grilled cheese sandwich?

andycarolan, 10 months ago

@macpsych As I've only done it once, I'm speaking from limited experience here, but thin to medium sliced bread, plant based spread on all sides of each slice, finely grated vegan cheese (I used Violife Epic Mature). Keep an eye on it, and depending on your air-fryer, flip the sandwich part way through. I did mine on 200°C for about 7 mins I think.

@andycarolan I'm going to have to try this. And soon!!

@andycarolan I need to get an air fryer, there's so many things that people do with it

andycarolan, 10 months ago

@Emi Yup, I completely recommend getting one. We rarely use our oven now.

My only suggestion is to get a bigger one that you think you will need, so you can spread stuff out in it to cook efficiently. I have a Cosori Dual Blaze https://cosori.co.uk/products/cosori-smart-air-fryer-6-4l-12-functions-caf-p583s

@andycarolan Vegan grilled cheese? 🤯 Have you found a good vegan cheese?!

andycarolan, 10 months ago

@hryggrbyr Yup, Violife is pretty good, and Morrisons own brand is ok. There's a lot of very good cheeses now. They used to be awful.

@andycarolan The last time I tried I got an unpleasant aftertaste of coconut from the one I bought (can't remember the brand). We don't have a Morrisons near enough to us but I'll try the Violife, thanks. 😄

@hryggrbyr Good luck finding one that works! I know that some are cashew based.

I'm sure you already know this, but if you're looking to add a cheesy flavour into a dish, Nutritional Yeast (Nooch) works well
