  • I’m not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven’t used my full size oven in the 3 months I’ve had this one.

    The “Trivection Oven” (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

    Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I’ve not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.










  • I’m a salt mine over this.

    I like that expression.

    People are dying, poor families with disabled children are losing healthcare, trans people are under federal attack, science and education is being gutted, and on and on

    According to the people we’re both salty at, that’s apparently an acceptable price to pay to “teach the Dems a lesson”. (That was one of the most common reasons they’d give last year, and yep, I’m still salty about that too).

    But at least they saved Palestine ¯_(ツ)_/¯
