"My Experience with the Big Boss Air Fryer: A Candid Review"


As someone who values convenience and health in cooking, I was drawn to air fryers for their promise of seamless meal preparation. After my mother's passing, I sought simpler cooking methods, and air fryers seemed like the most convenientsolution.

My journey with air fryers began with a Farberware model, but it was short-lived, lasting only six months. Disappointed but undeterred, I tried a Mainstay air fryer, only to encounter issues with the coating peeling off after just three months of use. Concerned about the potential health risks associated with this coating, I explored other options.

Enter the Big Boss Air Fryer – a behemoth fryer that promises quality and capacity. While initially enticed by its largesize and affordable price point, I quickly realized it was impractical for my lifestyle. The bulky design and cumbersome cleaning process outweighed its benefits, especially for someone like me who prefers simplicity and efficiency in the kitchen.

One aspect I appreciated about the Big Boss Air Fryer was its use of glass. This eliminated concerns about harmful coatings and allowed a clear view of the cooking process. However, the weight and heat of the control on top made it cumbersome to handle, and cleanup became a daunting task.

In hindsight, I acknowledge that the Big Boss Air Fryer might be better suited to larger families with ample kitchen space and high-capacity cooking. Unfortunately, for someone like me who values simplicity and functionality, it ultimately proved to be more of a burden than a boon.

While the Big Boss Air Fryer may have its merits, I ultimately returned it not due to its quality, but rather its impractical size for my needs. As I continue my search for the most effective air fryer, I remain hopeful that I will find one that strikes the right balance between convenience, health, and practicality.

An honest review of the Aroma Glass Air Fryer

Image
As a self-confessed lazy cook who values convenience, I recently tried the Aroma Glass Air Fryer. My purchase was based on its compact size and glass construction. Previously, I used the Big Boss Air Fryer , which, although also made of glass, was more suited to a large family due to its size. Here’s my honest review based on my experience with the Aroma Glass Air Fryer. Initial Impressions and Design The Aroma Glass Air Fryer immediately caught my eye with its sleek design and manageable size, suitable for single people like me. One of the features I appreciated about the Big Boss was its temperature control. This is essential for any appliance that heats food. Unfortunately, this is where Aroma falls short. Cooking performance Aroma Glass Air Fryer operates at a predetermined temperature, heating and timing foods accordingly. For example, potatoes are cooked at a fixed temperature for 20 minutes. This lack of temperature control is frustrating and limits the air fryer's versatili...

Eat healthy with breadfruit

Image
 Crazy thing is, I bought breadfruit 5 years ago to eat healthier. At the time, I had no idea how to cook breadfruit or what benefits it offered. It's funny because my neighbor has a breadfruit tree, and last year my yard was overrun with fruit. The fruit ranges widely in size and can reach 50 pounds with tough skin. Opportunity presented itself right in my yard, so I decided to try some recipes. The tough skin and sap make breadfruit one of the most challenging fruits to handle. Sap is sticky and attracts insects. I had difficulty cutting the fruit; my small knife couldn't even dent it. I chipped away at the beast for hours to extract the flesh. Breadfruit is often called a vegetable when fully ripe. Similar to bananas and plantains, it can be enjoyed as sweet fruit or an underripe vegetable. It can be roasted, sliced, or mixed with coconut milk and sugar. There are many different ways to consume this versatile fruit, making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet. Whet...

Reflections on Beauty, Strength, and Courage

Image
Recently, I watched a K-drama on Netflix featuring an actress so thin she resembled a walking pencil. Her appearance, marked by a noticeably pointed chin and an incredibly small waist, left my jaw dropping. It brought to mind the societal stigma attached to beauty and size for actresses. But beyond that, it reminded me of my own breast cancer journey. During my fight, I developed a theory: I believed that excluding certain foods would prevent a recurrence. This belief led me to forgo chemotherapy, a decision that was echoed with warnings all around. Instead, I turned to juicing and maintained a diet with relatively few to no carbohydrates. Despite my skinny appearance, I looked gaunt. My friendsnoticed the drastic change but never voiced concerns. My pants size shrank, my pictures told a different story, and my weight dropped to the point where I appeared older than my years. However, when I was upgraded to one mammogram per year, a wave of confidence in my food choices washed over m...
