Just cook some burgers in Jumbo and you have a lovely clean countertop rather than greasy splatter to wipe up.

Or maybe some cheese nachos 🙃

Oh, I will have to check it out next time toasting.

I would definitely check the temp of your upper cabinets when you use the oven...toasting will likely be ok but on convection or broiling it may get hot....I see some pot lights also. I have not considered countertop protection. Mine is on arborite counter tops in the pantry and it has not done any damage...so far...now I think I will get some protection.

@Smithyyou may have to pull it out from under your upper cabinets when you use it, especially on steam.

Looking through America’s Test Kitchen’s Air Fryer Perfection Cookbook, they list these seven simple uses for an air fryer: roast garlic, 400f for 20 min roast peppers 400f for 25 min croutons 350 for 6 to 10 min shaking every two min toasted nuts and seeds 150f for 6-10 min Refrigerator cookies 325f for 10-14 min crispy shallots 300f for 10-12 min toasting burger or sandwich bun 400ffor 2-3 min

I found a few recipes for these...described as being similar to gougeres.

It's a 'picking' pig...see post up thread. Those who toil over the beast are rewarded. 😋

It is a manual set up. DH tends the pig and turns as necessary.

Oh, is that just for one 220 gram patty? Yikes.

Kelowna! No, no....Naramata or Penticton. We have over 35 wineries between us and Penticton...amongst some of the best in the valley. And you are nearer to Oliver and Osoyoos. Kelowna is a gong show in the summer. Book early. Like I said, usually the second weekend in July unless some catastrophic thing happens. The July long weekend is the busiest in our area which is why we do it the next weekend. Where are you coming from? I think we are going to get moved to a new topic soon...derailing the Dinner thread......me bad.

Keep it near and dear to your heart where it is easy to use.. Wipe it out after every use. Empty it's dredge drawer. Sanitize it's water tank. 😍

$8 to $9 for mushed up beans!

Trust a Librarian to think of that! 😂

You could do some wine touring while you are here. We have friends who have the most wonderful cabin rental. http://thegrapeescapebandb.com

Ok, there are rules associated with our pig roast. It is a 'picking' pig. This means one can pull meat from between the shoulders and the ham...basically the belly. You can't use anything except your fingers. No napkins as an aid. No forks or knives. Just fingers. Someone showed up with a hemostat one year. It which was promptly confiscated. The reason being, if it doesn't come off easily, then the meat isn't done. Usually the pig is picked clean with the ribs showing...ribs are fair game also. The cracking is usually shared with early comers but this year I think our family/helpers ate most of it 😬..there were 7 of us. No feeding the dog (we usually hang a sign around the dog's neck "I hate pig") 😃 In the morning you know you've been to a pig roast because your fingers are burnt, you smell like smoke and you are a little hung over. Here is a picture of a friend just getting started. She has a nice pull of belly going.

I have an Oxo, like this https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Stainless-Splatter-Screen-Folding/dp/B00FS7ACK8/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=splatter+screen+for+frying+pan+oxo&qid=1563239129&s=gateway&sr=8-9 and find it to work really well and cleans up nicely in the dishwasher....it is nice and big to cover most of my large pans.

Oh, you didn't get one? It's an annual event...second weekend in July. This year we had some rain but that did not deter us. 77 lb pig cooked to perfection served with 9 different salads and my infamous baked beans which were simmering away all day...the whole pot was gone, as usual.

No chance on earth of shutting us up😜 Edited to add you could use the block function!

@robirdstx You're kill'n me. That looks so bloody, ridiculously delicious...carrots, celery, onion and are those chunks of potato in there too? We're having K Paul's chicken and Andouille gumbo from the freezer served on rice with a salad of zucchini, olives, mint, parsley and pecorino...not really photo-worthy as have been most of our meals lately....except maybe the roast pig on Saturday 😍

I've done something similar with a different book...only it got delivered....my brother got it for his birthday. 🙂

I've seen your kitchen...it's big enough for two CSO's. 😬

We forgot a CSO 😲

Ha, ha. I just enabled a friend to get her second little oven.🤗 And emailed another friend who has been thinking of getting one. my spare is downstairs in his birthday box.😎 Edited to add...apparently first friend above has forwarded my email to her kids! 😬
