honestly, i like my little air fryer. i have a very tiny galley kitchen in a building that was repurposed from an old folk’s home to apartments maybe 15 years ago, so the counters are all low, the cabinets are small, and my oven is hardly bigger than an easy bake oven. the air fryer works really well to feed two… Read more

‘“Essentially, it’s a convection oven,” Janeway says.’ THIS - so very much. And it’s a hella expensive, oddly shaped, hard to store, unwieldy variety of convection oven. Read more

I once did an Easy Bake Oven Thanksgiving, complete with green bean casserole, powdered mashed potatoes, stuffing and mini-marshmallowed yams, just to see if I could. Turns out, you can. It’s not delicious, it takes forever with one lightbulb and you may have to pry the back off your oven to release whatever gets…

The expected ship date suggests I’m not getting one of the first round, but I’ll report back whenever it does show up.  I only use a microwave to sanitize the sponge, but my wife uses it all the time, so an all-in-one replacement seemed like a decent idea. Read more

my SO’s friend works in the consumer testing division for one of the manufacturers so we got one as a “tester”. due to it’s size, we don’t use it often, but we do use it for wings every few months, and it’s pretty great. The skin gets real crispy without having to batter it. Just a little bit of oil. My only gripe is… Read more

I think air fryers are going to survive the test of time for a simple reason. It replaces so many alternate methods of cooking that either are healthier or taste the same. convenience is a huge factor and having one appliance that can handle normally fried foods while also making a good grilled cheese (seriously, I… Read more

I’ve never really messed with the convection oven settings on our oven. I feel like I should. I burned some stuff years ago, and never tried again. And Ursa leaves the heavy lifting cooking to me. Read more

It doesn’t feel like 2019 should be the year of fried food. Read more

I’ve had an air fryer for a couple years now and I use it almost weekly. I agree with this article- if I want real deep fried food it doesn’t fill the void. However I think it does wings pretty well for at home- far easier and better tasting than any other method I’ve tried. Read more

I have an air fryer, and it does a pretty decent imitation of fried food. Is it the same? Of course not. And some things it just can’t do. For instance, I haven’t found a good way to make fresh calamari. Read more

I disagree. I rarely used my slow cooker but love my Instant Pot. Having meals that cook all day in a slow cooker ready in about an hour in the Instant Pot is totally worth it. To be fair most of what I cook in the Instant Pot could be done on the stove or oven in about the same amount of time but I still prefer the… Read more

I pre-ordered the Amazon microwave/air fryer combo.  It’s a little silly, but I’m excited.  To be honest, we already do oven wings instead of deep frying them, so I don’t think it will be a huge shock to the system for me.  I tend to get over-excited by trashy convenience food, so frozen appetizers are the main appeal.

The Instant Pot has a slow cooker function in addition the pressure cooker function and other things. My slow cooker got broken at a holiday function and instead of replacing I got the Instant Pot. I use the pressure cooker function at least weekly.  Read more

Definitely could have happened.. if the guy was drinking the gin straight I could see his point but he’s mixing with tonic so the tonic could just not be his jam !! The glass could still have some residue fromt sanitizer or cleaning solution.. definitely some variables that could lead to the different flavor profile… Read more

Impossible is significantly better than Beyond. I keep thinking Beyond will be close, and it never is.
I’m certainly ready for cheaper options. Idgaf if they put that on the “kids” menu, I’m getting 3 Impossible Cheeseburgers and eating them like sliders. Read more

This is the type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put. Read more

There are people who can tell the difference between brands of gin? Read more

From standpoint of european. If you work in FD restaurant etiquette doesn’t change (in US you just serve from left and bus from right) you still ask if food is okay (customer may need salt, pepper or dish doesnt meet guests expectations. And yes we do refills, just make sure you visit FD restaurant. Yes we smile, and… Read more
