I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

Am I getting this right, you paid 20 USD for a plastic cover for plates in the microwave? I mean, yes, you should have one to avoid splatters, but I once upgraded from a 2 USD one to a 5 USD one due to better usability, I can't imagine paying 20 USD for it

Yes I did. And it’s brilliant.

I can't imagine using a microwave for anything other than popcorn!

Oh, melting butter

This is why I never believe the hype about air fryers. Most of the reviews come from people who've been using a popcorn machine to cook god knows what 😂

Air fryers are perfect for cooking small amounts of chicken. I use an oven all the time and prefer the air fryer for drumsticks or thighs.

It's half the time because it's smaller. You literally just coat the chicken in whatever spices and put it in.
