tired of the artists discourse. lemme try something a little different: air fryers are shit.
@stavvers now this is the #Discourse i log on for!
@ancient_catbus have you picked a side, Catbus? I'd *hate* to have to block and report you

@stavvers I am air fryer flexible, so I'll take the winning side here (yours)

Now if we were talking instant pots...i will fight and die for the honor of THE GREATEST KITCHEN GADGET OF ALL TIME

@ancient_catbus I very much understand the appeal of these for anyone with an electric hob but good stoneware casserole dish + gas hob is my jam
@ancient_catbus @stavvers I think it’s a tie between the Instant Pot and the Vacu-Sealer
@Porpentina2017 @ancient_catbus I have always wanted a vacu sealer
@stavvers @Porpentina2017 @ancient_catbus
Vacusealers are πŸ”₯πŸ†πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌβœ…πŸ’–
@stavvers @ancient_catbus Oh my! They are absolutely critical to freeze for later β€œfile-o-food” (as my husband calls it).
@Porpentina2017 @stavvers @ancient_catbus
I love how soon this app soon turns to Knowledge rather than Outrage.

@stavvers @Porpentina2017 I would love a sealer but I've maxxed storage capacity w my current gadget lineup (instant pot, toaster, microwave, molcajete, espresso machine, food processor, stand mixer)

I had to cut my cookbook library in half to reclaim two shelves for storage bc i haven't enough counter space 😭

@ancient_catbus @stavvers @Porpentina2017 A bit sheepishly I'll admit I'm on the "too much kitchen space" side of things. I don't have a dedicated air fryer, but my toaster oven fills that role. The toaster oven and coffee maker are the only things with permanent places. All the other gadgets are in constant flux.
@geekyonion @stavvers @Porpentina2017 I'd love a toaster oven for convince sake, but my stove has a good broiler so i can't justify it πŸ˜”
@ancient_catbus @stavvers @Porpentina2017 I got hooked on a toaster oven when I was living alone and just cooking a tray of tater tots and nuggets. With just me and my wife, it's been so much more efficient to use that than the full oven.
@geekyonion @stavvers @Porpentina2017 yah the oven is a pita for little things, i wish i had the space to justify a toaster oven
@stavvers @ancient_catbus now it depends on the type, if it has a rotary arm that tumbles the chips over, well those are the business, if it a static one, meh.
