You mean, I should act as you and just fart baseless assumptions into the internet?
Contrary to you, I cook professionally on a regular basis and I have tried out air fryers for various products and recipes and stand by my judgment.
In comparison to fat fryers or conventional baking ovens, air fryers provide an extremely uneven heat distribution and dry out the product without creating a roasted crust.
But if you like heating your hot pockets in them, go ahead.
Just proving my point! On paper…. maybe Practically…. another universe
Tell me you have no clue about cooking, without telling me you have no clue about cooking….
Air fryers are utter toad-crap! Absolutely ridiculous compared to either fan ovens or deep fat fryers!
When I got heavily involved in karate and kickboxing, training barefoot 5x per week, I lost almost two shoe-sizes. After I stopped, I gained them back year by year. Now I wear mostly barefoot shoes and again have lost at least one size. I attribute it to the ability of your feet muscles to maintain the arc and keep your middle foot together,
When you dissolve instant coffee directly into hot water, the amylum contained in the granules hardens, creating a powdery taste and consistency. By mixing the granules with cold water first, they dissolve more gently once introduced to hot water.
I found this technique makes for a richer and more flavourful coffee experience. Allegedly also because aromatics evaporate slower.
I used to avoid instant coffee until I read this somewhere and tried it. It definitely changed my coffee game. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.
Absolutely. Quality instant coffee tastes as good as a regular brew, when prepared correctly: dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water.
CBT for actually getting out of a rut and sitting meditation (zazen) for staying out of it. There are many more things that help, like reducing alcohol and caffeine, regular exercise…. but meditation is what really changed the game for me.
I’d just recommend you start it with a qualified teacher. Or at least read up on it (I recommend https://www.mctb.org/ and “the mind illuminated”).
Seriously though, the German liberal party (FDP) has dubbed renewable energy “freedom energy”.
By personal (yet anecdotal) evidence, I can testify that at least camomile works. The regular tea is not concentrated enough for me to have any noticeable effect, but the oily extract (apigenin) does wonders for my stressed-out brain!
How is it negligence when I follow the official recommendations? So no, I do not feel guilt as the probability of me being the reason of somebody’s death is practically zero.
No, I said I stick to the official recommendations but do not exceed them, because I do not believe it is reasonably justified.
I am not saying I go out socialising. But having to care for a family often makes it necessary to go out and get stuff. Especially when your symptom free vaccinated kids still go to school.
Anyway do I believe I pose a significantly smaller threat than those individuals that transmit the virus despite having no symptoms at all.
So I understand your concern and I agree that it is sensible to minimise exposure and take precautions but I also believe in commensurability of measures as there will never be 100% protection of infection. And I say that having dealt with two covid infections and months of heavy post-covid symptoms.
Because there are so many people completely free of symptoms that still transmit the virus.
I stick to the official regulations of my administration and they do not state mandatory isolation any more.
I‘m not saying I go out and about coughing in peoples faces. I try to be sensible and stick to high hygiene standards as mentioned.
So if somebody is vulnerable or feels anxious about getting infected they should also take proper precautions. And by everything I’ve learned through the pandemic, the risk of transmission should be very minimal.
As I said: I limit social interaction to the most minimal. And from what I‘ve understood during the pandemic, my precautions should reduce possible infection by over 95%. And at least where I live there are no signs that Covid poses any bigger risk to public health than the common flu (where I also get my shots and behave accordingly after living through a full blown infection).
It is my very personal take on this and by no means a recommendation, but here is how I do it:
If I feel seriously sick, that means: more than a common cold, I limit my social interactions to the bare necessary minimum. I will still do my own groceries (if possible outside rush hours) but sanitise my hands thoroughly, wear a fitting ffp2-mask and generally make a conscious effort to take hygiene much more seriously
By now, anybody vulnerable has had the chance to get sufficiently vaccinated so that I don’t feel it is justified to lock myself up.
But that would require switching the medium wich again takes conscious effort.
However, I find myself reading 2-3 books for exactly that reason.
That is complete and utter nonsense! If you‘d seen a commercial kitchen from the inside, you’d know that an air fryer is absolutely useless, as you already have appliances that do the job and do it way better.
And as you are only stating second hand opinions and clearly have no personal experience in cooking on a commercial level regarding neither quality nor quantity, I stand with my point and boldly call you an uncritical believer in advertising and an idiot.
