Also can use that time to thicken if necessary.Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-63766402261753237832021-02-21T15:10:56.736-05:002021-02-21T15:10:56.736-05:00We haven’t been tempted to get an air fryer yet in...We haven’t been tempted to get an air fryer yet in spite of the fact our son and a few friends have been raving about it. I have a limited space now on the counters.<br /><br />Your info about slow cookers came at a good time. Mine now needs to be sprayed with Pam or everything sticks. And lately, for whatever reason, thanks of been coming out rather dry weird thing is I’m using the same sort of recipes and cooking time, so it doesn’t make sense it would be dry now.<br /><br />Can’t wait to get the new skinny taste cookbook!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553212447308502910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-74921649911145147962021-02-21T13:33:10.730-05:002021-02-21T13:33:10.730-05:00I had to look up what the air fryer lid was, becau...I had to look up what the air fryer lid was, because I still don't have an InstaPot! I do a fair amount of breakfast and lunch meal prep, usually, for workdays, and then eat the same meals every day for 4-5 days, depending on my work schedule. I'll have to check out the new SkinnyTaste cookbook! It sounds good, especially as I'm back to trying to eat more healthfully again, after a long slump into bad habits after the holidays!Laurie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177559207735782406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-32988402184003798762021-02-20T23:18:18.738-05:002021-02-20T23:18:18.738-05:00We recently got a sous vide, so I'm going to h...We recently got a sous vide, so I'm going to hold off on the air fryer until I've mastered my new kitchen appliance. My Instant Pot sits in the pantry gathering dust and I don't want the same to happen with the sous vide. I do have a fairly new crockpot and love it, but need to remember to add more of those recipes to my menu plans. Love Skinny Taste cookbooks and have found so many great recipes. Sigh. I'm in a rut with my cooking right now and need to get back to some of those newer recipes.

I'm so curoius abt the air fryer! I'm glad to hear it's not just for frying -- I didn't realize that -- so I might investigate it this year as a possible holiday prezzie for my wife.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-7657286031826050752021-02-20T10:37:50.305-05:002021-02-20T10:37:50.305-05:00I finally caved and bought an air fryer... it'...I finally caved and bought an air fryer... it's being delivered today.

Maybe I just haven't looked recently and someone has come out with one -- or will soon. Here's hoping. I also love Skinnytaste and have had great results with Gina's recipes. And the COVID wall is real -- I've certainly slammed into it several times over the past year.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00306005714241105263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-19273969325754096702021-02-20T10:10:24.455-05:002021-02-20T10:10:24.455-05:00I love air fryers.

I love that it doesn't heat up the kitchen. <br />We love the air fryer broil function for our steaks, I have moved our grill to the pantry. We don't fry much, we had bought a deep fryer just for wings and fries but have yet to try them in the air fryer.<br />You had mentioned a few weeks ago about your toaster dying, we have not had any success with the toast function so my toaster Cusinart is still being used.<br />I don't meal prep but I do have a loose plan in my head for our weekly meals. Due to lockdown my freezers are well stocked so I try to think of new ways to use the stuff.<br />I bought a mint plant with the idea to use it more in cooking. It died in a week so there goes that idea. Mint hasn't been that available here either.Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-64418879876314392692021-02-20T09:16:04.273-05:002021-02-20T09:16:04.273-05:00Like you I had been very curious about the air fry...Like you I had been very curious about the air fryer for a long time. I finally broke down and bought one that also serves as a toaster oven, oven, and air fryer. Could I live without it , Yes.. but I do enjoy using it. I think I could accomplish the same in my oven for what I make. However, It doesn't heat up my house in the summer the way the oven would.I use it mostly for air frying potatoes and other veggies .gluten Free A_Z Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651624214552275164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-73517906546275933602021-02-20T09:01:30.189-05:002021-02-20T09:01:30.189-05:00We have an airfryer but don't use it much at a...We have an airfryer but don't use it much at all.

I bought the Cuisinart countertop, Air Fryer, last year at Costco with my rebate check, it is a disappointment, or I am simply unskilled at using it, probably a little of both!
