Air fryers, anyone?

10. I started out with a simple one...

With just a basket, I inherited it and I was thankful because I didn't think much of it. But a friend with whom I cook at times wanted to get one but didn't know what to look for, I decided I wanted the convection oven style after a year of not liking the first one. So we went to Costco and both bought one, the same thing. I see they have newer/improved models and they still sell most for around $100 wich is what ours cost.

What we got was a convection oven that has a dehydrate setting and several other options. But it has trays, grated and a solid one for a drip pan. Included where three rotisserie options including a kabob wheel (I use that a lot) and two basket sizes, one goes on the rotisserie and then a pair of blade for a chicken or the like. Had it for almost a year and I use it several times a week for bacon and whatever I think of. I like that it's only 13qts, big enough for one person, I don't like using the oven in the range because the things I would make are so small. When I make big stiff for oven baking, I do that at my friend's house where there is also food prep space.

I think it also depends on you style of cooking as well as the kinds of food you like. I started making new things because I was inspired, never had my own convection oven, used them when I cooked in restaurants but not at home. My diet has improved.

And best of all, everything tastes 100x better and is more flavorful. Trust me. Even sliced sweet potatoes.
