I hope this isn’t to personal subject to discuss in the forum threads.

I decided to pitch my old all-clad cookware and just ordered a small 7 piece hybrid set of cookware with wok made by HexClad. I figure if Gordon Ramsay can promote it they can’t be too bad to cook with. Anyone else have experience using HexClad stuff?

Found some old cast iron skillets(Good American stuff not the foreign scrap metal crap) tucked away in the old family camping gear. Use them almost exclusively.

You should have even cooking throughout with them. I made the mistake in 2016, while thinning things out, of throwing out 7 well-seasoned iron skilets my wife had accumulated.

Since I bought an air fryer I rarely use a frying pan except to make an omelet or scrambled eggs.
The air fryer saves a lot of clean up time in the kitchen.

I don't recommend it Chat. The recipe book says you can make eggs in the air fryer. My daughter did it and the eggs went all over the inside causing a big job to clean them out. Stick to a frying pan for eggs.

I bought a nuwave air fryer a couple years ago. It must have been a lemon. Took longer to cook food, made a lot of noise and took up a lot of counter space on. I placed a new cheap electric mixer in 1/2 its space.

I'm guessing that the Nuwave air fryer was also a toaster, also a broiler, also a dehydrator.
I learned a lesson many years ago not to buy an appliance that does more than you want it to do.
If you buy a stereo that is also a turntable if the stereo breaks down to the point that it can't be repaired then you also have to throw out the turntable.

If you really want a good air fryer think about buying this one which is what I have.

I thought the George Foreman 'cook in another pot' concept was a great idea but let's be honest here shall we? It was just a cold winters lamb shank on the stove as my frozen veges boiled to a crisp.

Don't get me wrong. I'm always into new ideas but c'mon, waiting 3 hours for a piece of meat is just not kosher, halal or groovy.

I think George Foreman has a lot to answer for and regardless of the free set of steak knives, I think we as consumers deserve out money back.

That Nuwave was one of the first air fryers that came out about 5 years ago.

One other thing Gal, the air fryer that I bought has the best non stick interior that I've ever seen.
Most of the time I just wipe it with a paper towel when it's done cooking.
But if there is grease I wipe the grease and then put it in the dishwasher.

I’m glad you have a better air fryer. Mine was a pain in the butt to clean. Thanks.
