I haven't thought of using an air fryer. Might be a good thing to have, tho. I'll go check out some recipes when I have more time and see if it will allow me to make things I am either already using my convection oven for, or can't make at all.
Thinking zucchini stix.
SIX, how much starch are you allowed? When I make fake "fried" food like "fried" chicken or "breaded" zucchini stix, I use two parts parmesan to one part panko (extra puffy-crunchy Japanese bread crumbles) to reduce the starch but still get the crunch.

Is it a decent size. I know they can come pretty small. Mine wasn't the biggest, but it was a free hand-me-down so I can't complain.
You'll have to tell me some good easy recipes once you know your way around it. I've used the thing twice since I got it and I know I'm missing out on a lot by not using it.

I've been looking at then for a while since I found out you can actually bake in them. Things like cupcakes and such. Very versatile.
This one is smaller and fits perfectly in the spot I picked out for it. I could carry it home in its box. So for me that's not too bad.
I will let you know. Like I said my first test will be chicken legs for tomorrow. It's suppose to be really good for meats and I can make things like stews and such in it too.

Out soon on a bright day. Things to do then come back and drop them off. Pick up the toaster oven I have to donate to a thrift store not far from me. Temp is sitting at around 68F.

Done for today. Having a sit down now. Still sitting at 80F in my area.

Well, I took the dog in for a senior dog wellness check, to update her vaccinations, and have her incisions looked at.
I was kind of dreading the news because one of the emergency vets detected a heart murmur stage 3-4 (max is 6) but THIS vet didn't detect anything, and the other emergency vet didn't either. So IDK how a heart murmur can come and go, but it's good news that it's gone. Yay!
Hubby's biopsy came back benign. All is good for now, so I can kind of unkink myself and put the focus back on decluttering. Looking forward to spending another productive morning boxing stuff up for donation. Another yay!

Oh, cool. Mine probably isn't too much bigger than yours is then. I've seen smaller than mine before, but not too many. My buddy and his wife gave me their old one when they got a Ninja branded one that was twice the size. Those lucky bastards somehow got picked by Amazon to be in their "freebie club" where they get tons of free stuff from Amazon every year, and all she has to do is write product reviews and take pictures and videos of the products in use.
Everything they get though is counted as income, and at full price of the product and not any of the sale prices either. I'm guessing some form of 1099. I'll bet they pay on way more income every year just from free Amazon stuff than I have in any year since 2009 when I last had a good job.
The new Ninja was free, and the smaller one they gave me was free before that.
I know it does a hell of a job reheating GOOD pizza. A few years ago my Aunt came over for Easter. We knew everything was going to be closed, so she got a pizza from our favorite place by my Grandma's the night before and we just heated it up in the air fryer and you could hardly tell it hadn't come straight out of the oven. No microwave is going to do that. It's possible to do with an oven, but it's a lot more difficult to get it just right with preheating the big thing compared to that little one.
I'm not surprised you can bake in it. Aside from the limitations of the size of your thing, I bet you could do anything with that which could be done with an oven.

Good for her.

And good for you too.
Let me borrow some of that motivation. I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere around here during that storm.

That's fantastic news on both fronts SIG.
Decluttering that kind of work is never done.

Yeah, I was talking to someone who had one and they said doing chicken legs is great in it. So we shall see. You have to leave it on for 20minutes before using to get it used to being on.
I bet it would be great on pizza. Well, I don't need anything big just for me.
