    Rant about kitchen appliances:

    People should learn to use the things they most probably already have in their kitchen.

    1. slow cooker is just a tiny pot shaped low temperature oven with a timer

    2. Air fryer is a tiny oven with a fan

    Why do people get so hyped about a smaller and more limited version of the thing they already have? Just use your oven which most likely already has all these features. I haven’t seen an electric oven without a fan or without a timer in my lifetime

        That your oven is heating slow is a flaw of your oven. You can get half height convection ovens who heat up much faster and have all the benefits of a normal oven but the convection works just as well like in an air fryer. some even have microwave functions so you save another device.

            And I guess your oven is also full size so that’s not the type of oven I’m talking about. There are one 2/3 of the height and have basically zero heat up time like an air fryer. I value my time and kitchen real estate so if I can have something that does both I will always choose that
