I think I mentioned that Vince wasn’t real happy that I had ordered a new air fryer when the one we have worked so well. It was just small air fryer that we got when they first got really popular. We used it a lot and it really does still work fine but I figured if I got a new one, I could get rid of the toaster oven and do more with the air fryer.
On the recommendation of the same friend who twisted my arm to buy the Lowery frame, I ordered a Ninja Foodi that turns on its side to take up less space when not being used.
Vince grumbled . . it wasn’t his idea so he will never admit he likes it. He used it to toast bagels and he had to turn it down because his bagel was getting too dark. “It doesn’t cook like the old toaster oven did?” I told him . . just give it time . . you’ll love it. I’m not sure he loves it yet but the old toaster oven was also small and we coud only put three pieces of bread it in. The new one, we can put at least six. In fact, yesterday I made sandwiches and was able to put three bagels in there, tops and bottoms.
Yesterday I thought I’d take some cookies out to the guys working in the shop. I had frozen cookie dough in the freezer that I had bought from a fundraiser at Addie’s school so I made nine cookies in the new air fryer. The cookies, start to finish, were done in less time than it takes for my big oven to heat up.
When I told Vince I had made them in the air fryer, he was completely shocked that it would bake cookies. I can win him over and he’ll be happy I bought it but he’ll probably never admit it.

We just bought an air fryer. Have used it twice so far (fried chicken and french fries). So far we like it!

Isn’t this the man that buys things in threes? ?
Judy Laquidara says
Or in sets of 10
DarW says
Hmmm…… do you have a favorite or recommended French fry cutter? Cuz if I got an air fryer….. well…. LOL
Judy Laquidara says
I’m a bad wife and I buy frozen fries.
Terri says
I have the same one and I love, love, love it.

I’m completely innocent on your new frame! 🙂 Or did someone else recommend the foodi too? I pick the lowest darkness level for my bagels and it does make a difference if you don’t say the number of bagel slices you’re toasting.
Judy Laquidara says
Oh, I forgot it was you who recommended the Ninja. I’ll have to get Vince to add you to his “list”. Consider it an honor to be on Vince’s list. 🙂
I didn’t realize there was a place to say the number of bagels you’re toasting. It always helps to read the instructions.
CHRISTINE MILLER says
Oh my! I do feel honored!! LOL
Judy Laquidara says
We should start a group “I’m on Vince’s List!” 🙂
Susan says
I didn’t know that was an option. I still don’t have one, but I can’t justify it, either. I hardly use the toaster oven as it is.
Judy Laquidara says
We just reheated pizza in the air fryer. I love it for that.
