My vote is the lack of rain that’s plaguing the Panama Canal is affecting the banana crop this year. Pure speculation though.
The Panama Canal is low on water, therefore the fewer bananas that they ship, then the boats will float higher requiring less water, simple 🥸
My local Walmart sells them for $1.30/Kg and organic for $2.14/Kg 😒

Seems Tupelo honey is available on Amazon in Canada, should be available in US as well - and of course Amazon is close to everybody 😀

Well at least it's a fast turn-around 🤪

A recall in Canada - whereas US owners should/should not be concerned?
EDIT:
Yes US owners should be concerned!

I think the air fryer is underpowered (just a scosh more air movement than the convection setting), and the AF rack usually requires rotating.
Air frying is not one of its strengths although it does everything else well, btw have you ever tried to clean those baskets after a messy cook - easy-off is just a starting point

@dtremit this one has two separate baskets, two separate heating coils and two separate fans, so basically you're getting two separate air fryers, however the control functions for both are integrated into one unit

@dtremit no, it has 2 separate baskets
I tend to use only the one, although a couple of nights ago I did use both baskets for different foods at different temperatures and different times and using the sync finish feature they were both ready at the same time 😀

As lindag has mentioned the Instant Vortex is a fine machine - I have the one with dual baskets that can be individually controlled as per time and temperature and can be synced so both items finish at the same time

What is a toaster oven?
Considering the price of the top end Breville (a wonderful machine) would the APO qualify?
Sure it's bigger (counter space), but it does everything and more!

Which air fryer are you using as if I don't flip one side is definitely "browner" than the down side

I think the law of diminishing returns would rear its ugly head in those kitchens

what did the outlet / plugs look like?
Leviton 5822-W 20-Amp, 250-Volt - I matched it up with the induction burner I was using

it's exceptionally rare to find a 220v circuit with an outlet in the kitchen. the cooktops/ovens/etc are "hardwired"
If you're handy and do your research, it's not that difficult or expensive to add a 220 volt socket in your kitchen - I've done it - all you need is a breaker, wire and a socket - again I stress "do your research"
p

50 amp/120 volt circuits require 6 AWG copper, which is expensive, not very flexible and of course the circuit breaker is not cheap. Obviously this route is not followed in many (all) kitchens.

btw re parchment paper - I use a silicone liner which can be cut to fit

Smart Kitchen Appliances: Pros, Cons, Developments

I have an APO which has Wi-Fi, a phone app and pre-programmed recipes that I can set up from my phone... but I never use them. It's easier for me to just set the temp, set the steam % I want, put the food in and ask" Alexa" to set a timer for when it's done. So it does everything you want plus convection and adjustable steam.
