Simon said: "The newest way to cook a haggis. I'll leave you to work out if you can air fry neeps and tatties!"
Scottish food influencer Lauren Gourlay, said cooking haggis in your air fryer saves both time and money.
She added: "Cooking haggis in the air fryer is a great idea. It’s quicker, uses less energy and you don’t need to wait on the oven to heat up. It’s also portable so if you were having a Burns Supper outside of the home you can use it to cook your haggis and re-heat your mash and neeps.
"One of my favourite ways to serve haggis is for breakfast and the air fryer is perfect for small servings. I love a slice of sourdough toasted, plenty of salted butter and slices of haggis done in the air fryer. Delicious!”
