For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

I know it's an annoying cliche answer at this point but I really do love my air fryer, it got me out of a cooking rut and made me more creative. I've had it for a year and a half an use it 3-4 times a week.

I am firmly of the belief that people with ADHD should be prescribed an air fryer.

It is such an incredible tool because it almost destroys the mental barrier that something like the oven has. I actually make myself food now!

Without having to fry. My executively dysfunctional ass has resorted to cooking (frying veg and tofu) the same meal every day so I don't have to think about ir

I just discovered the joys of the ninja double basket one. You can set the timer for both sides but then also set both sides to finish at the same thing. Crazy awesome.

Even just throwing tater tots into the air fryer makes 'em crispy on the outside with zero use of oil. About as healthy as you can eat potatoes and as easy as a microwave. Love it.

Aren't those ultra processed potato nugget things? Why not mashed potato

Depends on how they are produced

If you're reheating a pizza without an air fryer, you're just plain doing it wrong.

2-5 minutes, no preheat, and it tastes better than the night before.

Sorry but the correct way to heat up pizza is in a covered frying pan.

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Most bar food reheats well in it too lol

It's nice to have 2 extra mini ovens and my kitchen is small.
