Hi Dave,
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
RH> purpose air fryer.
DD> Overall the toaster/convection over is easier to use. And with my very
DD> limited counter space the single purpose gut will be headed for the
DD> Habitat for Humainty op shop to be re-housed. Bv)=
RH> Our toaster/convection oven is a Cuisinart. We had a bigger one that
RH> held a 13x9 pan but when we upgraded our fridge a few years ago, the
RH> bigger toaster/oven had to be rehomed. The old fridge didn't quite fill
RH> the niche and the oven overhung the counter into the empty space so
RH> when the new fridge filled the space, I couldn't use the oven. It was
RH> new-ish, only a few months, so one of our friends adopted it. I miss
DD> Cuisinart is most generally well built/designed and gives great
DD> service. My stand mixer and coffee maker are of that brand.
We've had a few small appliances from them over the years. IIRC, our ice
cream maker and hand mixer are both Cuisinart. I bought that mixer back
in Tucson in the late 1990s and it's still going strong.
DD> I just finished MMing and placing in the queue a wad of air fryer
DD> recipes. Wathc for it in coming weeks.
OK, I'll be a bit more erratic on here for a while. We're hitting the
road tomorrow, going to range from upstate NY to Salt Lake City area for
destinations, with stops in between. Should be some good in camp eating;
I set aside meals in the freezer (beef stew, Moroccan chicken, corned
beef and cabbage, etc) as I made it for supper over a couple of months.
Not enough for the full time we're going to be gone but just to give us
a change from the usual in camp meals.
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)=
RH> Looks interesting; we've never tried air frying vegetables. This may be
RH> a first. (G)
DD> Another good fit is 'taters --- eith home fries or French fries. Not
DD> sure how an air fryer would do with tempura. But tempura is one of my
DD> favourite srispity-crunchity snack food preprations,
Hmm, you need something to catch the drips yet let the air circulate.
That's a head scratcher. (G)
