Re: [CnD] air fryers
Hello, Sorry about my slow reply, however, it's been a busy week. We have a Phillips Air Fryer which we are enjoying. We have liked everything we have made in it. Things we have cooked include frozen French fries and onion rings, frozen salmon bergers, and sliced mushrooms with a little olive oil drizeled over them and tossed to make sure they were covered. No oil was added to the other things cooked. There are a number of models, some of which have touch screens. The one we have is easy to use; simply set the timer; let it heat up, and put your food in the basket, and cook. Shake it aobut half-way through cooking. Enjoy!

Re: [CnD] Nonstick Foil
I never heard of that type of oil as well. But when using oil in the porkchops wouldn't it come out a bit greasy? Or would it help moisten the porkchops better?

I have a silicone liner I use to line the pan when I bake veggies. I haven't tried it for meat. Nothing sticks so you can clean it easily for the next use.
