Air Frying
Fast, crisp, and no pan of hot oil to deal with.
An air fryer is a small convection oven, and every recipe here is written with that in mind. There is no oil to conduct heat, so browning has to come from sugar, fat sprayed on, and a surface that is properly dry.
The other constant is space. Crowded food steams; two batches beat one full basket every time.
