Promising review: “I wanted to simulate air-frying in a countertop or conventional oven. This product does the trick, more so in my conventional oven; it has a ‘speed-bake’ feature that simulates a confection oven. It’s small enough to fit in my countertop oven.

I cook-spray it prior to use, then treat it as cast iron while cleaning it (i.e., very hot water and a scrubby sponge — no soap on the baking surface). I use a little soapy water on the rim and ‘feet,’ so there is no oily buildup there. (I also foil- or parchment paper-line the drip sheet, to make cleanup that much easier, but that’s just me. I’m pretty sure it’s not necessary as the non-stick finish seems pretty danged good so far.)” —Joanna Aislinn

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, laminated brows can best be described as brow hairs that lay plastered and sleek against the skin in an upward direction. Part […]
