As I told Nanook, I have both the countertop convection/toaster oven as
well as the more usual 3 liter sized "air fryer". I use both on a fairly
regular schedule - else they'd be gone to the ReStore because my counter
and storage space is limited.

And, as I also told him - some things just need to be deep fried in
hot oil.   Bv)=
