Cooking & Baking

(3,105 posts)I love it!
The interior and all but one of the utensils are stainless steel and can be put into a dishwasher ( if you're lucky enough to have one, I don't).
The oven has multiple functions ( I won't be able to name them all). Besides air frying it can rotisserie cook a chicken or small roast, it can bake, it can proof bread dough, it can broil and it does a bang up job of reheating food. I hate microwaves, so this oven is perfect for me.
It came with a small cook book and I purchased a couple of more extensive ones as well.
Mine is too big for me to pull out and put away, so it sits on a tea cart in my dinette. I use an extension cord to hook it up to a grounded outlet.
I have cooked frozen chicken fingers and fish sticks, made French fries from both frozen and real potatoes, and used it to broil country style ribs as a finishing touch after baking them in the oven. It makes great toast and reheats food much better than a microwave IMHO.
I know my oven has a lot more capacity, but I am recovering from a pulmonary embolism. Today was my first day home from the hospital. My whole house is a disaster, especially my kitchen. Now I know why I have been experiencing a steady loss of energy. I almost joined my ancestors, one week ago today. Glad to be alive, even though our current time-line is horrible.
I hope you have great enjoyment of your new air fryer. .
I am intrigued to hear that people have enjoyed cooking pork chops in the air fryer. I like to bread mine and bake or braise them in a cast iron pan, like my mom did. I will have to check out recipes for air frying the chops.
Thanks for this thread.
