Home Bargains shoppers say anyone with an air fryer 'needs' £1.29 buy that guarantees perfect food EVERY time

Shoppers are flocking to Home Bargains for a £1.29 Special Buy that makes air fryer food 'perfect and crispy' every time. The budget item has been created to be used by anyone with an air fryer, but also works perfectly for food cooked in the oven or in a pan.

Home Bargains is stocking shelves with £1.29 tubs of 'air fryer seasoning'. Which, if you know anything at all about seasoning food, is just seasoning.

Flavours in the Home Bargains Kerala air fryer seasoning tubs include Thai, Chicken, Red Meat and Crispy Coating. Each tub of seasoning costs £1.29. The seasoning has already gone viral on social media, but shoppers are divided.

Sarah Hughes shared a picture of the Home Bargains air fryer seasoning on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, writing: "New air fryer seasoning in Home Bargains."

Tracy Fury said: "Surely all spices are the same ? Use on airfrier or any other way." Linda Mcgregor agreed: "Any seasoning works along with a spray oil or fry light. Been doing that for years."

Paul Townsend added: "Just a name regular herbs n spices do same job." Somebody else said: "Spices are spices!! Just a gimmick."

Janet Allen exclaimed: "Same stuff just different labels, jumping on to the "Airfryer" bandwagon! And probably charging double?." Chantal Bedford asked: "Really? What's the difference between this and regular seasoning"

Kyle Truitt mocked: "This is like saying, saucepan seasoning, oven seasoning.... Toaster seasoning." Penny Sanders suggested: "Just use ordinary ones they aren’t any different and far cheaper than these."

Natalie Wright joked: "'Air fryer seasoning', compared to oven or hob seasoning?" Maggie Nyalugwe Liwawala said: "Not this again anything to do with airfryer people go crazy."

Angela Tavener joked: "The next prime lol." Samantha Durcan said: "I picked these up, they are the same, but I think people who dont normally use spices etc but use an air fryer will use them as it's something new (if u know what I mean), plus they are good value for the size."

Mark Wilson said: "I have way too many rubs I use for BBQing and to be fair the Kerala Chinese salt & chilli pepper one is amazing. I don't blame them slapping airfryer on their label with it trending and the price is cheap for rubs."

Tracie Nightingale told the group: "I bought not tried it yet though." Sammie Jayne said: "ooo these would be nice I bet."

Lauren Hallam said: "These look good." Sarah Thorn commented: "Best rush to the bargs tomoz." Carolyn Clough said: "We’ve got this my hubby says it’s fab!"

Bev Latham exclaimed: "I've not got any room left for more spices!!! But I like the sound of these!" Jackie Thompson said: "Tried it on a a airfried rump steak on Saturday, twas great!"

Angela Cartwright said: "The crispy coating is tasty on fish and even on chips." Lauren Brace Lozzy raved: "Used this a couple of weeks ago. Really makes the chicken crispy and like KFC."

You can find the Kerala air fryer seasoning range in Home Bargains stores for £1.29 per tub now.
