Funny . Had this house built in 2006 . Came with GE range and dishwasher . Replaced the range 2 (?) years ago , it was still working . I did replace the oven element , but the dishwasher is still going strong , no issues . I'm not praising GE , just got the life out of what I have / had for sure .

You got the life out of them for sure. I suspect 2006 was before that moved all the manufacturing to wherever the new crappy ones are made.

Ordered a Breville toaster oven / air fryer to get us through. It was 25% off. Ive wanted one, my wife doesnt think she likes appliances on the counter - unless its the mixer (no idea). With the oven down for the count, perfect excuse! I think we are gonna use it a lot.

Never tried or used an air fryer, but sounds fun. With all my cardiac stuff that came up over the last couple years...is there a "healthier french fry"? I do love real fried ones but seems like a poor choice given the expensive meds Im on to keep the arteries in better shape. Who knows?

An air fryer is just a small convection oven in roast mode. They work very good for smaller cooks or two people.

That is what I am finding out! It jsut two of 99% of the time. This site has so many good recipes. Very excited for the new toy!

I'll add that is is also much quicker heating up than regular oven. Less heat in the summer time also. I rarely use the oven anymore.

You'll like that .
I bought a 360 back when John was doing cooks with his , then bought a Ninja 6 + 1 .
Don't use the 360 much , if at all .
The Ninja got a work out , and does a great job .
The range I just bought has an air fry setting . Different cycle of the fans than the convection setting . I do a lot of stuff in there . Makes great fried chicken .

So using the Ninja has slowed down too , but there's times when I use it and the oven .
I keep it just off the kitchen , and set it up when I want to use it .

I do fries in both set to air fry . Key for me it to soak the starch out , then dry at a low temp before cranking the heat .
Make potato chips in the Ninja . Also wings , and hot dogs . Counter top oven / fryers are handy .

Love the sound of all that!

I've looked at the Ninja flip toaster oven / air fryer. I keep nixing as most of my oven bakes are sourdough breads. We don't make any fried foods at home.

My wife doesn't like anything on the counter outside of her coffee grinder, coffee maker, and tea pot. I'm allowed my espresso machine and nothing more

Makes me feel better knowing you have a similar situation.
