i never thought an air-fryer was "a totally new way to cook" . . . i just like the idea that i can do a batch of fries without having to use a platter in the big oven . . . i live alone and it's convenient for cooking small amounts.

someday i hope to get around to cooking a lasagna . . . and it won't be in the air-fryer!

The thing about a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is that it basically works. Recipients tend to use the money to stabilize their lives, and to purchase necessities. Unlike Republican fears that they money would be spend on hookers and blackjack. As for Ken Paxton, a man more corrupt than the teasonous orange blob, is that he is always injecting himself into matters beyond being a state Attorney General. Abortion ruling, election results, firing whistleblowers, etc. That he would want to intervene in Houston's experiment is typical. The man puts the Fas in fascism..

I'm old enough to remember when microwave ovens were the air fryers of their time. They're both still kinda neat!

Paxton must have filed a thousand bullshit lawsuits since he was cleared by the Lege last September.

And after the whistleblower ruckus, I'm sure he's been careful to staff his office with only conservative frat-boy bootlickers straight out of law school.

You’ll take my air fryer when you can pry it from my cold, dead hands. In the back of my mind it has seemed like a gimmick, but it is actually much more efficient and at least somewhat faster than a convection oven. It also allows me to bypass our gas oven which takes much longer, and has a tendency to overheat the house more often than not (in Los Angeles). And foil on the very bottom with vented parchment paper for air flow in the top level tray makes for easy clean-up.

A large solar prominence was visible during the eclipse. (That's an astronomer's "large".)

Air Fryers are just toaster ovens with a PR team.

Well, Air BAKER just doesn't have a marketable ring that "fryer" does. That said they are convenient for folks who don't have the space for an actual oven.

If you should find yourself cleaning cooktops and the microwave this morning, painstaking, principled and rigorous scientific research has revealed that Bonnie Raitt singing 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯' 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯' 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 is a good choice of tune.

Back to the k̶i̶t̶c̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶ laboratory...

Ugh. Yes, and air fryer is a convection oven. I grew up with a convection oven. I’m not sure a hoax is an appropriate term. They’re small, definitely more affordable than an entire damn convection oven, and keep the heat down when I cook during the summer.
