Air Fryer & Crock Pot
Due to my chronic condition, I am always looking for ways to simplify my life. In the end, it's all about embracing life's twists and turns and making the most of them.
The Air fryer
Air fryers are designed to be user-friendly, even when you're not feeling well.
With simple controls and pre-set cooking functions, you can quickly and effortlessly prepare meals without having to spend too much time in the kitchen. This convenience is especially valuable when you're feeling weak or fatigued.
An air fryer is essentially the healthier version of the deep fat fryer, a grill, or a small oven.
Instead of cooking food by submerging it in hot oil, the air fryer cooks by using air alone - or, if you like, just a tablespoon of oil.
As the air circulates around the food, it creates the tasty, crispy texture you get from traditional deep-fat-fried foods but with a lot fewer calories.
After extensive research, my top choices for air fryers were Ninja, Cosori, and Philips. I decided to go with the Philips Essential XL and have not regret it!
The Crock Pot
My choice was the Crockpot™ Express 6-Qt Pressure Cooker, Black Stainless Steel
Just like the Air fryer, the Crock Pot sits on your countertop and saves you from having the stovetop or oven on all afternoon. It's easy to clean and can cook up enough food for a whole crew all in one pot.
The Air Fryer and Crock Pot have almost completely eliminated the need to use the stovetop or oven;
My cooking style has changed a great deal since I began using them. I’m amazed at how efficient they are as they allow me to put all the ingredients in one pot, set the timer, and walk away from the kitchen.
You don't have to keep checking on the food, and the food comes out perfectly cooked every time.
In order to achieve the proper pressure, the Crock-Pot always require some type of liquid in it.
MEAT/POULTRY, BEANS/CHILI, RICE/GRAINS, YOGURT, DESSERT, SOUP/STEW, BROWN/SEAR, SAUTÉ, etc.
