I have a convection oven regular size and a Breville small oven. Would I be just as wise to buy the copper basket and tray to use in one of those instead of another counter space stealer???
Which would you prefer?
TIA, Jennifer
ps: it needs to be easy to push in and pull out. I'm getting weaker than I use to be, I hardly use my cast iron pans any longer.
I read a few of the replies first to see what kind of feedback you got on this. I have the NuWave Brio and love it. I love fries (frozen) made in it. It was a gift, but I love not having to use an oven for just the two of us.
I have made pork chops (breaded) that turned out really well. Frozen bread sticks are great. I have made delicious brownies.
One thing to know is on some brands you have to slant the cooker to get it back into the main unit. I think this happens with the larger size...mine is only 3.2 quart.
Haven't used it lately but since we both volunteer daily at the animal shelter, no real time to fool around with cooking much.
Good luck. Like I said, I really like mine and would not get rid of it.
