I mention why I got one , and the model I chose . I was in no hurry
as my CSO did most of the things I was interested in , and my counter tops were clogged w junk stuff .
that log jam has been cleared , so on w the AF , initially for CharASui.
I tried TJ's fish sticks , which I easily have been baking in the CSO.
my model has a preheat , a beep 2/3'd or so through the cycle for a turn over reminder
Im sure most AF's have the same thing. but I decided to ignore both . pulling out a hot drawer
twice is something I decided to avoid. I like the idea of putting the stuff in the AF , picking a temp and time
and it beeps when done, Id adjust the time and temp as I go along , by keeping track in a new
red notebook ! I(ll continue to turn the Char Sui . but hopefully that's the only item
so TJ's fish sticks :
note the perforated parchment paper Im trying out . 1/2 sheet to see the difference with and without.
frozen FS ready to go . temp 400 F 15 minutes , from start , ignored preheat and flip
10 minutes
let it go for the full 15 :
these were very crunchy , moist , and terrific ! no turning
of note , the FS only stuck to the parchment paper ! clean up was easy let the try cool completely, then
by hand hot water w a few drops of dish soap.
much quicker than the CSO , and 15 min was very very crispy , yet still moist.
seasoned AF'ers already know this.
vey pleased I have this , and the counter space
as its very easy to use.
BTW the second down on the L FS was the best .
