I have convection with my oven and I truly don’t need another small appliance in the closet! Thanks for sharing–it’s taken care of the temptation! I bought an instant pot, gave it away, then bought another when I found a good sale. And I’m still not using it. So not kidding when I say you saved me :)

Thank you for this very educational post. I don’t fry foods (at least not deep fry), and I’ve never been attracted to the concept of an air fryer (ditto for the other popular kitchen item of the moment, the instant pot). The stove we got recently has a convection option for the oven, and I find that using it helps to cut out the extra time usually needed for cooking at altitude (we’re at about 4000 feet). I love having convection. And it feels good to be justified in not buying every gadget that comes along.
