PS. You're ALL Champion's if you're still here and you're still logging and chugging along!!9 -
Question for the day:
If you have an air fryer would you buy it again?
Do you feel it lets you have healthy foods?
Thanks we are considering purchasing one and was looking for feedback thanks in advance.5 -

I have two forms of "air fryers". The first one is a multifunction countertop unit that serves as a toaster oven, air fryer, roaster, etc. Has heating elements on top and bottom, a fan to circulate, with 3 rack height levels, and came with a rack, basket, sheet pan and rotisserie. The second one came in the form of our new oven which can also do convection and air frying.
I think of them as tools and love them. I don't air fry anything for myself specifically. That really requires either a starchy thing (which I don't find healthy for me) or something like chicken wings which I haven't had in a long while. For the most part the only fatty meats I do are fish or an occasional steak or sausage.
But those settings are useful depending what I might like to do with something. Cook times and textures can be radically changed for someone with the knack. Thus why I say I consider them tools and not "recipe enablers", if that makes sense.2 -
Thanks @WhatMeRunning i should check our new stove I know it has convection 2 ovens and a dehydrate mode. I was thinking things like califlower Brussels sprouts homemade mozzarella sticks etc. We have the instant pot and really like once again thanks2

We have this air fryer:
https://www.amazon.ca/CUISINART-TOA-60C-AirFryer-Convection-Silver/dp/B075BL334F/ref=asc_df_B075BL334F/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292899321329&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5897398161075668584&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001346&hvtargid=pla-523065677418&psc=1
We bought it at first to use at our trailer instead of firing up the oven, but we like it at home too. Again, a lot of the times for us it's just easier than using the bigger oven. We are a family of two so it always fits our portion size.
We made some buffalo cauliflower wings for football a few weeks ago and they were good. But we don't even bust out recipes that often - just use it to cook frozen things or finish meat, etc.3 -
@snowshoe072 Yes to the air fryer. It does a great job with unhealthy foods, lol, but I use it regularly to roast veggies. It preheats quickly and the small space really makes a difference in concentrating the heat to brown/crisp foods. I made Brussell Sprouts just yesterday and they were great.
I have the Ninja Foodie Grill which is an air fryer combo.2 -
@snowshoe072 We have a Gourmia 6 Quart Digital Air Fryer - picked up at Costco for $64.99 🇨🇦 Used it quite a bit during this past super hot summer and continue to use it. Makes the easiest and best easy peel hard boiled eggs - and I do up a batch most Sundays. Makes the best baked salmon, chicken breasts from frozen, roasted veggies of all kinds, and baked (russet or sweet) potatoes. It reheats leftovers so I swear they taste better than day one (and I throw a Costco rotisserie chicken into it to “finish” it). It has been a great purchase for our family.
I used to use my Instant Pot regularly in the fall/winter, but am using it less time goes by.4 -
No air fryer or insta here.

I'm sorry I've not been writing for several days.I had my bariatric surgury on wensday, came home Thursday night, yesterday I just tried to make it. Having a hard time, getting this meal and drink schedule down without going bloated all the time. Today I'm doing better with it. I'm not sure If I should stay in group next month. I'm on liquid diet for 3 weeks. Not able to do too much activities for that long as well. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.15 -

Exercise – yes, but just walking
Tracked – yes
Calories – no
I had a day out today – to the theatre – and we were intending to have dinner out but changed our minds. Lunch was a wrap from a café with calorie info on the pack, and in the afternoon, I succumbed to a blondie from a place which has nutritional info online so I was able to track. I had dinner at home so that was fine. I did get plenty of walking done but it didn’t generate enough extra calories to cover the blondie.
So today is pass day #3

@lesdarts180 <> a day out to the theatre is a good reason to take a pass day. 😂 Still in line for Champion.
Great job so far for Saturday. I will check back in the morning.5 -
Exercise - yes 30 minutes of yoga
Tracking - yes
Calories - yes
I’m back from my very wonderful holiday in Spain…I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated a holiday this much. Wall to wall blue skies and sun were a real antidote to the feeling I’ve had of just slogging away for the last two years. My first two days in terms of diet and exercise weren’t bad but weren’t great. I made excuses (no yoga mat, heated pool was closed) but then I got around it…I did Pilates on the rug every day and then swam in a pretty cold pool with a super shallow end for toddlers so I had to turn early each time I got there to avoid beaching myself. And that set the tone for food. I didn’t track but I didn’t go crazy. I did enjoy a couple of lovely ice creams and a bit too much vino blanco though. But it was easy to go back to normal today.
So no champions or winners circle for me but I’m back to it and feeling great. Picture is me in the cold pool! 🥶🥶🥶

This is what we have - the Ninja Foodie Grill. We love it. It's an air fryer, dehydrator, and an inside grill. Hubby used it alot more than the outside grill this year. (He's getting lazier in his old age!) Lol.
@jamcnewman how many minutes and what temp do you do your hard boiled eggs in the air fryer? I've not tried that before... and just HATE peeling hard boiled eggs!!!3
