  • Squirt bottle for (olive) oil. It is a lot more precise than simply pouring oil out of the bottle the oil comes in.

    Electric kettle. No fancy features, just a switch to start water boiling, which shuts off once it’s at a rolling boil

    Multishelf airfryer. It’s great for roasting small batches of vegetables (baby carrots, potatoes, cauliflower etc) without the guilt of firing up the big oven. It’s also great in the summer because it doesn’t heat up my apartment

    1.5qt sauce pan. It’s great for heating up small batches of soups, bbq beans etc. This is what I used to heat the water for my tea prior to purchasing the electric kettle

    I pretty much use all of these on a daily basis


  • Frozen french fries are fantastic! I have an airfryer with shelves instead of a basket, but I’m sure it’d be the same. I just grab store brand waffle, steak, or curly fries, drop a handful or two on a single shelf spread them out so thy’re not bunched up and hit the fries button - no additional oil necessary, and I may or may not add seasoning at the end.

    The thicker fries do really well with my airfryer, and the preset, but you may need to adjust your cooking times and temp depending on your air fryer and the type of fries. I also roasted red potatoes and baby carrots for Christmas. Chicken breasts are a little trickier if they’re varying sizes and thinknesses, but checking the temp with an instant read thermometer makes it super easy, and you don’t heat up your entire kitchen when checking the temps. Same with the carrots and potatoes, I just poke them with a fork to see if they’re done
