Best Kitchen Gadget

The pizza thing was excellent but mine broke a few years ago

I don't like the taste of coffee - would have to drown it in chocolate

This thing is amazing for breaking up and crumbling ground meat.

I have two air fryers I use when I have more things to fry. One doubles as a pressure cooker. I'm hooked on the air fryer. No more greasy foods. The pressure cooker is great for cooking things without heating up the kitchen. We love artichokes with our dinner. When the grandkids spend the night we air fry those hashbrown patties with their breakfast. They love those things. And we don't worry about too much grease. Can't imagine how we got by without them.

Just had toasted ravioli in the air fryer. Amazing!

@CGI_Ram how do you get you fix up there in Canada?

 

[Pancake]

Can you make chips in an air fryer?

I got the Ninja Foodi on Black Friday this year but have only used it once because Ive been sick all through December.

I made chicken thighs the one tome and they were perfectly done.

Getting ready to start experimenting now that I can taste food again.

We got the biggest one. Not cheap.

Wine Key. It opens wine and beer. Never cook without it.

Im not sure. Pintrest has a ton of different recipes

I have never had a sip of coffee in my entire 36 years of life.

Same here. I don't like the smell, so why drink it. I've had coffee in cookies though. They were good.

Favorite? Man, I think hands down it has to be the immersion blender.
I make quite a bit of soup, and if I'm doing Mex or Italian, I'm not using store bought salsa or marinara.
I actually have 3 of them, 1 is just for fruit based foods, smoothies etc, 1 for tomato product. (we do quite a bit of make your own pizza and I refuse to buy that shit "pizza sauce")

We love our immersion blender. I'm not that adventurous with it but its great for smoothies. When my kids were younger the often wouldn't ear breakfast before school. So I bought one to make what they call banana milkshake. There isn't any ice cream. Just milk, Carnations instant breakfast and a banana. They have been drinking them for the last ten years. Much better than sugary cereal or a quick cupcake before they run to the bus stop.

Prevents tears. Onion dicer.

I have had one of these since I got married in 2005. This thing is great and so simple to use. I like to get a bag of onions and cut some into slices and dice some. Then we freeze them for use while cooking later. This works well for cutting sweet gherkins to use in tuna salad or making relish also.

Can you cook batter dipped fish in it? My kid loves when I make fish but he never wants it baked. Its obscene how much butter or oil I use for frying fish.

And is it easy to clean?

Yes you can cook batter dipped food. The mesh it's a little trickier to clean, but the metal is coated in a non stick surface, which makes it very simple to clean.

Like Faulk said, yes you can. But you want to put brush some oil on the basket. And turn it over halfway through. I use a coating recipe with crushed Rice Krispies. Mostly for chicken breast but I've done fish with it too. I roll the meat in egg then in the Rice Krispies. Put some seasoning and a couple 8 ounce chicken breasts take about 15-18 minutes. Really juicy and tasty.

I haven’t heard of that pizza thing, @Juggs

This baby is great;

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker. Best steaks I’ve made cooked this way before finishing on grill.

You can take lesser steaks and make them nice and tender. Great steaks simply become greater.

That is the one I have as well. I use it 3 or 4 times a week. It is wifi enabled so I can start it from work, top of a mountain, while at the lake, etc... My favorite of all gadgets I've bought in maybe 20 years.

Once again, I have that exact tool. I bought it for making my BBQ sauces. I love that the lower section twists off for easy cleaning. It's also way more powerful that my other units (I also have 3). Now, I mostly use it for building my Caesar dressing for the kitchens I manage.

I am about to purchase an air fryer before tomorrows game. Boneless chicken wings cook best out of an air fryer pretty damn amazing device. I wanna try french fries now.

Thanks. Mostly I make him the trout we catch. I just do the usual; flour, egg, breadcrumbs (panko). Maybe Ill watch some videos on how they work.

Lol, not liking the smell of coffee to me is akin to not liking the smell of bacon cooking in the morning, as the cliche goes, to each their own

Air Fryers for me, before that that new wave oven thingy wasn’t too bad

I got one of these as a gift last year.

Even regular non-breaded wings are so simple... pour in.... cook... pour sauce over wings final 5 min or so. BOOM! Crispy skin, sticky sauce. Excellent!

Fries are great out of this thing, too.

We use it as a targeted device for just a few items, like those two.

I do like bacon.
