I do most of the cooking at our house. Wife doesn't get home until 6pm or later. I use the blackstone when I can. We have an air fryer but it's put up somewhere.
Ours is a round black appliance, about the size of a basketball, maybe a tad bigger, that the wife thought we couldn’t live without. It is designed to take up valuable counter space when you are trying to do some REAL cooking and is OBVIOUSLY much more difficult to put away than it is to get out. Actually though it does do a better job on things like chicken nuggets, fries, onion rings, fish sticks, etc… that’s what we use it for mostly
I'm looking pretty hard at an Emeril one. How do you clean the inside, like a microwave? Does your's have any nonstick accessories? I'm not a fan of nonstick. Description says stainless steel doors, what's the inside of yours?
We've had one for a few years:gift. My wife is going through some health issues and I got It out for convenience. After putting in the hours at work it's not real fun trying to cook and clean plus take care her and myself. I tried the burgers on a whem. They were surprisingly good. I'm most others, I like em grilled. The fryer does cook fries, tots, and rings better.
I thought I had all the kitchen appliances until my sister got me a panini maker one Christmas. I have yet to figure out (except for the stripes) how it is better than my cast iron pan.
That's what she does. I put the last one out on the sidewalk for her. Gone in an hour. Those oversize toaster ovens that are the size of a microwave oven. She's 91. It takes a few years to get "dirty".
You get to 80 and 90 years old and you change quite a few of the rules you live by. There was a time I would walk up the street to her house and if I heard singing and piano playing I would turn around and walk home and come back later. Now that she is almost totally deaf the music is gone from her house and there is dust on the piano keys. That's figurative dust, my two sisters help keep her house clean. She still gets around though, she's going on a Viking Oceans Amazon cruise in December.
Awe. Mine's 77 this year, she's visiting her High School bestie in HI though they visit eachother every several years this trip's purpose is to see if the altitude and humidity helps her idiopathic pulminary fibrosis.
