Looks good, kind of makes my teeth hurt just looking at it.

When I was on vacation, prime day happened. I was browsing, and found something worth it. Oh but my prime was ending. But wait, I had one day left, and jumped on this for $58.99. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I then used $15.38 in Amazon points, and when we got back home it was delivered. Still haven't gotten around to using it though. Still need to figure it out a bit more, and figure out some good recipes.

Oooh! Sweet!! We have one of those! So far though I've only used it to fast-cook meat things that usually take forever in the oven and/or crock pot.... roast, ribs, corned beef, etc. I was about to post a link to a bunch of recipes but one of them has my real name so I'll PM it to you. There are also lots of books with recipes too. I wish these had been available when the family was larger and I had an hour or less to get a meal on the table. You can make sauces, soups, chili, etc. as well as the big meaty things.

The only thing I don't care for is that it is loud and hissy and freaked both me and the birds out the first time I used it.

We get a bit of noise with the airfryer as well. It never seems to bug Hazel, but we'll make sure to let her outside when pressures released. The only thing that bugs Hazel is Fireworks, and the family raising there voices at each other.

How do you like the air fryer? Does it work any different than, say, using the oven? I love fried chicken but usually "fry" it in the oven to cut back on fats.... have you made it in your air fryer? What kinds of things have you made in it?

I have been thinking about buying a sous vide set up, but just cannot bring myself to do it.

It can do chicken, but they tell you not to use a wet dip batter. I like popping a egg roll or two, or fries in. I'd try homemade stuff, but I never feel up to it lately. Mom put a little foil on the bottom of the thing for easy cleanup.

About 5 minutes preheat, and 10 for cooking most things.

That sounds fast enough, although I suppose a dense food like a chicken breast might take a bit longer. Does the food come out nice and crispy?

It depends what you make. You're supposed to be able to cook veggies, and even bake some things, but the closest I've gotten to that is brussel sprouts. They don't do good, cut in half. I imagine you'd have to do quite a bit smaller, otherwise they are overdone outside, and still not softened inside.

I love when the local corn is finally available! Got some yesterday at the farmers market, along with shrooms: lion's mane, lobster of the woods, chicken of the woods, and shiitakes.

Fried up some chicken of the woods mushrooms a couple days ago. They really *do* taste and chew like chicken.... meaty and firm texture, mild taste.
