Subj : Air Fryers To : DALE SHIPP From : JIM WELLER Date : Sun Jul 03 2022 19:55:00 -=> Quoting Dale Shipp to Jim Weller <=- JW> And the latest new thing, air fryers, don't tempt me at all.

An air fryer would be compact, quick, efficient and probably not overheat a kitchen as much as a range's oven on a summer day but I manage quite well with a toaster oven for small thin items and my stove (just conventional not convection, but it goes up to 500 F) for large ones. I lightly coat my oven "fried" foods with an oil spray. I don't buy Pam but use a refillable, hand pumped, stainless steel sprayer.
