I've had This One for a year and a half and I have used it a lot. It works well and is pretty affordable.

I was looking at that one - thanks. I was hoping it is good.

I have GoWise 8qtr pressure cooker and I love it. I have instant pot 6 qrt but their 8 qrt was too much IMO. Someone recommended GoWise - it is as good, if not better, for much less money.

I like my scale as long as it shows under my personal goal. But I call her nasty names when she shows me a number that is higher than that. One time Keith heard me cursing.... He taught I got bad email from work...

I absolutely love my electric pressure cooker. What an amazing invention.

I have the NuWave 36001 (3.5 qt.) and use it several times a week. It takes an awful lot of counter space. Even so, if I had to do it over again, I would get the XL, which is 5.3 qt.

I use steamer parchment papers to make clean-up easier. I've found loads of recipes on Facebook: Weigh****chers Air Fryer Recipes... many are easily adaptable to our eating style.

I had that. Used it 2-3 times? It is big, and takes a lot of counter space. And with the few items I want to "fry" - it is just not practical for me. I thought I would love it. Nope. I sold that - like new - for $25... Someone got a great deal. It was gone in 1 hour from posting on FB. Any it had the extender ring, the "full size thingy".

I want something more compact. We have a large convection toaster oven. Every love that thing. Use it often for stuff. But... Fries don't turn good from that.

Fyi - I gave no problem trying things in a grease. Just to much mess to clean. Plus some fat my gut does not like. So frying in peanut or other oil (,except coconut oil) is "a no go".

I can use bacon fat, or coconut oil, or ghee.. but I don't fry enough to waste so much oil for one time thing. I do have a small oil fryer. I may need to think about a way to clean and reuse good "fat-oil". Hmm....

I feel like an idiot. I read your signature and while on the phone in the sun I thought that puzzle piece was an H. I was like "What the heck is hembrace hdifferences?"

I was told that image is in support of autism. Once I put it there I just left it there.
