Magnetic clasp, no fumbling in T2. Fits all numbers.

Aero position gains free watts. Giro Aerohead fits most head shapes.

My third one in 15+ years. Set it and walk away: perfect rice every time, and the quick-cook setting earns its keep on weeknights.

I've used it for years. Air fryer and convection oven in one: crispy chicken, fish and sweet potatoes without a deep fryer.

My weekend cooker. Load it in the morning and dinner is ready by evening. It has a temperature probe and a lid that locks for travel.

Where my beans and batch-cooked food live for the week. Glass, airtight lids, and they go from fridge to oven.

I cook by feel, and this is how I check. Two seconds and I know the salmon is at 145°F and the chicken is at 165°F.

The salt I use on everything, kept separate from my seasoning so I can salt to taste. I'm a heavy sweater, so I use more than most.

Goes in my sauces, and in the shake bag as a coating for chicken and fish instead of breadcrumbs.

The jarred sauce I build my two-hour sauce on. I add fire-roasted tomatoes and nutritional yeast and let it go low and slow.

When I want the sauce spicy. Same two-hour method, more heat.

Goes into every sauce I make, for texture and a little smoke.
