Countertop Oven Is Impractical for Small Kitchen
Great so far!
I've been using the Oil-less fryer for a few months now, and it is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance. I'm on a fairly restricted nutrition plan and eat TONS of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Broiling or baking turns chicken breasts into nasty little hockey pucks very quickly, and I could never quite figure out how to fully cook the chicken without drying it out. The Oil-less fryer makes it easy: I pop the chicken in, set the timer for 15-20 minutes, and get chicken that (really is) crispy and browned on the outside and moist on the inside. It's awesome. I've only been able to achieve comparable texture with my steamer, but the steamer takes much longer and doesn't cook the chicken as thoroughly. I've also "fried" potatoes and sweet potatoes with very good results.
As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of this oven, and I hope it keeps working for a long time! Some brief caveats, though:
As other reviews have said, it's not very big. You probably...
Useful, I think...
I've never had such a hard time deciding whether I like a product or not. I've put off reviewing this item, because my opinion is wishy-washy and I can't decide how many stars to give it.
My biggest question about this fryer is, who is the real target market for this? Is it lazy cooks? Is it health nuts? Or maybe it's potheads who want to stand around watching their munchies cook. I'm just not sure. So instead of focusing on my opinion, I'll share my experience.
I had a rare Friday evening to myself where my wife was out with her girlfriends and my kids were at a pizza party. In an uncharacteristically boring move, I decided to put this thing through its paces without having anyone to look over my shoulder--to either succeed or fail, but without an audience.
Since I had some time on my hands, I stopped by the market and picked up a few potatoes, some onions, a whole fryer chicken, and a couple pounds of catfish pieces.
Before the kids left...
