All my porridge is made with milk, however my luxury version before big rides has Golden syrup on top.

Or made with milk or water

...or milk and water. For me, 1/3 water left to sit a minute then 2/3 semi-skimmed milk.
Unless I'm feeling extravagant then it will be 100% water but fresh cream added after cooking.

Normally I would agree with you but.......
Without boring you, now I am on my own and not enjoying the best of health, sometimes it's a case of getting something simple down my neck so............
A C T pizza in one draw and some chips in the other it fills a hole.
Maybe you're doing it wrong.

Now that Accy has come out as a vegetarian I will revise my original advice and say DON’T buy an air fryer! Without using it for meat, what is the actual point other than chips?

In fact, I now change my advice to buying an airfryer and abandoning vegetarianism!

Well, pescatarian to be honest, bordering on veganism, seeing I hardly eat any dairy produce now. The one below is now out the reckoning as that 60 quid offer on a Tesco club card has disappeared, and it's digital which might be too complicated for me. I asked one of the staff in Tesco if I could put 'sloppy' food in one. He said they make/sell things that make the baskets able to put liquid in, or you can just use tin foil to line the basket. Everyone I've asked in there, and it's a lot all say they'd rather have an air fryer than a microwave, but wouldn't give up their microwave. Tonight I saw some garlic and herb potato wedges in the reduced section. I always fancy them when I see them half price or less, but don't buy them as cooking them in a microwave isn't a good idea. I think you can still use an air fryer for many none meat foods like fish, jacket potatoes, pizzas, chips, fruit pies etc and of course with my dog still being a carnivore, I could use an air fryer to cook raw meat for him.🐶

Anything you would cook in an oven can be done in an airfryer if the portions are a suitable size to fit. And done more quickly, using less energy.

Cheaper than a gas oven ? Gas is about a third of the cost of leccy. Our oven which isn't that large can cook oven chip in 16 minutes
if you thaw them out before hand
