Went off them for about 18 months as the quality was going down as prices went up

Given them another go and glad I did


I used to use them too but they dont seem to have any good specials anymore.
I got a delivery yesterday from Meatonline, you must buy a carton which is about 20kgs worth and cut it yourself, but the grass fed T bone i got was amazing $24.5/kg
Also got grass fed Rib eye on the bone, ordered 5 star at $26/kg but they were out of that so they offered me 6 star for $30 down from $36. Havent tried that yet but looks the goods.
They currently have a sale on until Sunday

Nothing wrong with frozen meat as long as you vacuum package it.
Ive even become somewhat of an expert at Air frying from frozen in emergency, allows you have your desired rare to medium on the inside and nicely crusted and cooked fat on the outer


They have weekly specials but not really that cheap

Air fry frozen meat?

What type/cut of meat have you tried in there from frozen?


Scotch fillets, rump and wagyu rump. I wouldnt do fillet steak, not enough fat content.
Air fryers are pretty variable but i do about 10 -14 minutes at 200 depending on thickness of cut and desired level of pinkness.
Im trying to go back to carnivore lifestyle again, so if im cooking a piece of steak for lunch that im going to microwave again i cook that pretty rare, get a crust on it and the fat rendered and then by the time i zap it for 3min its about medium.
Sometimes a nice slice of garlic butter over the top

As in? Crispy outside, chewy inside? My choice of pork belly can differ to others.


This method never fails.
Take the belly out of the packaging and store in your fridge uncovered for 24 hours. This is key!
Rub salt into the skin, generally they dont score the rind enough and its poorly done, i recommend about 5-8mm apart, a fat max stanley knife is the best for this, pretty much just score again in between the cuts they already made, get plenty of salt in there.
25mins at 200 degrees, dont warm up the air fryer, just straight in
20mins at 150-160 degrees
Perfect everytime.
I prefer to use a belly with no bone.
As a rule the Aldi pork bellys are quite fat and good for this, you dont want a real lean looking belly.

I actually cooked a pig on the spit at the cricket club only last Saturday night, best meat you can get i reckon

Drumsticks are great as a snack if youre going down a bit of a carnivore path, always handy to have in the fridge ready to go so youre not tempted by other crap

Does anyone have any recommendations for Beef jerky?

I currently rate the Mt Pleasant Butcher very highly, nice and chewy yet moist, if anything maybe a little to much moisture retention.

No, but it's OK to stick it in the air fryer...

Minute steak seasoned and put in a food dehydrator, it really is that easy.
