It's on Amazon for $70 reduced from $120.
It's over 6 Quarts so you will probably be able to cook a whole chicken.
I have a 6 quart which is a good size for feeding up to 4 people.
Check out recipes online, there are lots of cool ideas.
I going for some fish & chips next.
Whole meal less than 1/2 hour cooking time.
Nice

Yea, you can't crowd the potatoes & must stir 1/2 way done.
Two batches would be better & keep the 1st batch warm in an oven set to warm.
Also potato wedges might work better (easier to keep separate to brown evenly.

Beautiful....
It only got that big when my girls were old enough to really help. I was a stay at home dad for many years , so i could devote the time to it and my indoor cannabis

When I started growing I had no idea the amount of work it would take to maintain a garden. I have a couple of pounds dried and cured and another pound to harvest. I plan on taking a break for a few months and start up again in the new year.

We have the Ninja unit and it works great. It also has a pressure cooker option which I use from time to time.

As others have said, air dryers do an amazing job with wings.

We have the pampered chef version and love it. It's great for falafels, mini pizzas, etc.

We've found that you can pile them in if you stir a couple of times during cooking.

I'm completely beat down from this seasons outdoor grow when combined w/work and work outs. I started chopping on Sept 22 as the coming rain forced me to thin out the herd. Everytime I came home from work and my plants needed watering we're talking 45 minutes and 130 gallons transported in 6 gallon buckets at the height of the grow. Had to bring plants inside for the threat of hurricane Henry, pretty rainy here this Sept. translated into covering plants w/tarps and taking big plants under 10x10 walled canopy many times. Glad it's almost done as I am just taking care of about 15 clones and 2 big plants which are under the canopy now as it is raining presently and my boss canceled work today. Everything else is hanging in my weight room and I'll trim a little as needed until I get laid off in early Dec. EXHAUSTED ccguns

It’s been a hell of a season, hasn’t it? I flowered out my clones as I knew I was going to take some time off. I have enough weed to last a long time. I had to deal with WPM and spider mites too so I’m looking forward to a break.

My wife and I are BOOSTED!

One of the strangest outcomes from it was I gained 3 inches!
My wife was concerned.
Concerned??
At her request I went to my P.C.P.
It turns out I had her glasses on.
(I was wondering why she looked heavier.)

I'm jealous, air fryer for Christmas it is.

Been roasting them lately by cutting into 1.5 inch cubes or so, boil in water with baking soda added for like 5 or 10 minutes, drain into a strainer and sort of toss around to create a roughed texture. Toss in oil and seasoning to taste. Roast at 425 or 450 till golden brown.

Edit: I think they are called kenji lopez roasted potatoes, some dude from serious eats. The baking soda seems important.

This talk......
Anybody remember the movie Fatso.

The smaller ones, like golf ball sized and smaller are peeled, cooked and canned. They're serviceable when baking or frying, but I wouldn't serve them just heated up in a pot or microwave

Try the shake and bake method. I'd cut fries usually, but it works the same with cubes. Put some olive oil in a gallon ziplock with taters, don't need a lot of oil, shake it up. Season to taste in bag and shake again. Put on a coated cookie pan at 400 to 450 until browned to taste, usually 15 minutes or so, turning once. This method is also crispy out and soft inside, it just uses the water already in the potato.

When I started to grow in my basement I used soil for around 4 years, then I said fuck this, hand watering & feeding/maintaining 27 plants was killing me/my back .
So I went hydro using a RDWC system in 3 rooms with 27 gallon reservoirs that I add water/food/adjust PH in every 2 or 3 days.
Easy as fuck & produces good plants.
4 plants or so in soil in a closet or tent is cool, but if you want more plants than that, go hydro.
This is the base system that I use, a GH Waterfarm, but I changed the res from a gravity feed 15 gal, to a pump driven 27 gal res that circulates, eliminating stagnation & provides more O2 to the plants roots.
