Hi Dave,
DD> And here's the fried pickles recipe I am going to convert from
DD> "archives" to "kitchen" status. Possibly using the big (toaster oven
DD> size) air fryer.
RH> We still don't, and probably will never, have an air fryer. Closest
RH> thing to it that we have is a toaster oven that has a convection
RH> feature. I've thought about trying to see if it works as an air fryer
RH> but haven't done so yet. One of these days, maybe...............
DD> All an air-fryer is, in reality, ia a small, convenient size
DD> convection oven. I have a Bella (Best Buy house brand) toaster oven
DD> that fits the description perfectly. I also have a smaller, single
purpose air fryer.
DD> Overall the toaster/convection over is easier to use. And with my very

Our toaster/convection oven is a Cuisinart. We had a bigger one that
held a 13x9 pan but when we upgraded our fridge a few years ago, the
bigger toaster/oven had to be rehomed. The old fridge didn't quite fill
the niche and the oven overhung the counter into the empty space so when
the new fridge filled the space, I couldn't use the oven. It was
new-ish, only a few months, so one of our friends adopted it. I miss not
being able to put a bigger pan into this oven, especially in the summer,
but have been, overall, happy with it. Just have to try it as an air
fryer.
DD> I just finished MMing and placing in the queue a wad of air fryer
DD> recipes. Wathc for it in coming weeks.
DD> This recipe worked better in the toaster/fan forced oven than in the
DD> dedicated air fryer. Another reason the single purpose guy is getting
DD> a new home Bv)=
