Air fryer on French sites?

[Sidders]

Off to France on our jolly’s next month, would French hook up on Campsites be able power something like the below. I believe they run at a lower power supply than we do on sites.
What air fryer do you guys use (if at all)?
We have barby etc already for outdoor cooking, it was more to do stuff for the kids like fish fingers etc

 

[Sidders]

Ours is 1460watts and was chosen as it works on 6amp which the majority of places we stay abroad are.

It’s been thoroughly tested and doesn’t trip the electric on 6amp.

Can I ask which one you have?

 

[Jackdog]

I have used one side of the ninja duel without issues on a 6 amp supply in Spain.

See post #25.

We’ve got a ninja foodi smartlid 11 in 1 6L It’s a multicooker as well as an airfryer

Can I ask which one you have?

Yes you can - see above. We got it from Argos

Thanks, it looks great
Can I ask if you use it much as an air fryer? Just reading some reviewing saying it’s a great multi cooker but not so good at air frying

I’ve had a couple of air fryers and i am addicted to my ninja because it’s so versatile. I have used it just on airfryer for chicken wings, oven chips, bacon etc. But the Steam airfry mode is a revelation. I do complete meals in it - a joint of meat or a chicken or kebabs for example, surrounded by potatoes on the rack and underneath some liquid with vegetables. I also use it for risottos and pasta dishes in sauce or pasta bakes. The pressure cooker is great too. It might not suit everyone but it’s been a revelation for me. We’ve just done 2 weeks without hookup and I miss it

We use a Remoska. Much simpler and only 400 watts draw.

Standard Remoska Electric Cooker with Glass Lid

Perfect alternative to an oven, bread maker and for baking cakes. Order the Standard Remoska Electric Cooker 2L online at Lakeland. 3 year guarantee.

Or 580w for the Grand Ramoska, if you want the bigger version.

It's also much larger than the standard one. More storage space need3d when on the move. We find that the standard size is adequate for two adults.

We thought about the sizes and decided that frozen croissants and pain au Chocolat fit better in the big one as not stackable!

Also, we have a huge garage to fill!

Ours is 1400w-1600w which could therefore top out at nearly 7amps. So with fridge on we could be in trouble on lots of sites (albeit for just 20mins it takes most things to cook!)

 

[weekenders]

So would a 4 litre 1500 watts work on on French 10am site? Depends if we buy it tomorrow

 

[CRD]

We’re on the way back from a 7 week trip in France. We found a few sites stated that they had 10 amp supplies, when in fact it was a lot lower. We tripped one EHU post four times with our Tower Air frier/oven.

Interestingly, we also came across one site that stated on their website and at reception that they had 6 amp EHU when in fact they were definitely using 10 amp circuits. I only found this out as a neighbour on the site was an electrical engineer who had checked out the EHU posts before hooking up. The site was trying to limit people’s electrical usage!

1500W at 230V is 6.52A so you should be ok on a 10A supply but not on a 6A supply. However it does depend what else you are trying to run at the same time because it all adds up. Simply divide the Watts by Volts to get the Amps.

I always check the breaker limit when I hook up. With the exception of the big clubs even in the UK sites are moving away from 16A.

I manage well with a small 1000w (4.5 amps) 30 quid effort from I think Currys on 6 amp sites. If its for the kids etc it could work well for you, its also smaller size for storage. 1000w is your limit for 6 amp EHU.

I expect with the price of electricity more and more sites will reduce the current capacity. Metering is a better option as you pay for kWh used over the period, but is not a cheap solution to install, so the only way is to reduce what people can draw. However, when you see tents and awning with electric heating on, even at 1kw (~4 amps), if on for 5 hours is 5 units of electricity, so well over £1 at current prices. So using a 1600w air fryer for 15 mins would be cheaper for the site but how do they control it?

A cheap option could be deciding when you book in do you want no electricity or a 5 amp supply or whatever and the post is changed to suit for the duration of your stay.

Even in the UK it is not safe to assume you will get a 16A EHU. The last 6 sites we have visited with EHU have included 3 at 16A, 2 at 10A and 1 at 6A. One of the 16A sites was metered. Whenever I plug in I check the breaker to see if it is rated at 16, 10 or 6. Some sites have recently changed from 16A to 10A to reduce their costs because some users are plain greedy and wasteful.

Plain greedy and wasteful. Or they are paying a premium for electricity and like to get value.

A lot of marinas offer a card system. You buy a card and load the bollard there's no refund for what you don't use and if you get a berth with a bollard with charge left you just use it up it generally evens out in the end sometimes you leave a bit for someone else. No one seems to get too worried about it.

The smaller wattage air fryers I.e 900 are usually small capacity, the 1500 watt is 4 litre and the site in France have said there ehu is 10amp, as we are there for 2 weeks, and paying for electric, would sooner use ehu than lpg, so it should be ok then

 

[PrettyandFluffy]

I bought a 2 litre 900w Daewoo air fryer from Amazon to use in the motorhome, cheap and very good, I have cooked a home-made moussaka in it. 2 tips: 1. Buy silicone liners, you can pre-make things and freeze them and it makes cleaning up so easy. 2. Use it outside to avoid making the MH unbearably hot. I also have a low wattage hair dryer and stick blender; they will all run from a portable power station which makes using aires or staying off grid a little more comfortable. Whilst none of these things is essential it makes longer trips a bit easier.

Totally agree. I suggested to CAMC that rather than invest in metres at a huge cost, just replace the breakers to 6 or 10 amp and watch the usage drop dramatically. No longer would you be able to plug a 2kw heater in for your awning and leave it going full belt 24/7.

 

[Trappa]

We bought a Toshiba one from Argos £80 and used it all over France on our recent five week trip no problems whatsoever with tripping etc.

We use a Ninja 3.8 Ltd 4:1 Air Fryer. We have used it successfully all over France without tripping the electric. However always make sure it’s the only item drawing power.

Our Ninja works ok. even our Air con will run including fridge and not trip 6 amp. If it trips turn everything off whilst using air fryer.

As much as I enjoy a fish finger tortilla in the Ninja it's worth the extra euros and eat local ?

Unfortunately some of use firstly don't have the funds now to eat out or like us the other half has a stoma. We can't take the risk of a blockage from unknown ingredients and the risk of a hospital stay.

 

[stewartwebr]

The Aire at Calais is 6amp with one socket at 16amps, think the sparkie put the wrong breaker in. We always try and get that one.

I use a Russel Hobbs 1350watt air fryer. That draws 5.63 amps at 240v so I’m hoping that will work ok in France. It’s big enough for the two of us although you have to juggle things a bit!

You probably won’t get 240V in France, in theory it should be 230V the same as the UK but I believe they often run below that.

We have a Cosori air fryer at home so we bought the small Cosori (900 watts) for the van. However, we found it really too small to cook for two people (15 x 15.7cm); you can't get 2 chops in it for example. Instead, we now have a Tower Vortx Colour Display 3L one (1200 watts), which is still pretty small (18cm square) but works better for 2 people and isn't too high wattage.

We don't have an inverter but we power the air fryer from our EcoFlow River 2 power station, which outputs 800 watts normally but can output 1600 watts on boost. We then recharge the Ecoflow — on EHU if on a campsite, or from the leisure battery when we are driving (when the leisure battery is being recharged at the same time via the B2B and solar). We do that so we don't need to worry about tripping the electrics.

We do also have a standard Remoska (400 watts). We sometimes use that, either in conjunction with the air fryer or alone. We can power the Remoska directly from EHU on a campsite as 400 watts won't trip a 6A supply (we did that a lot in Morocco).
