HYSapientia HYS AFO 01A Air Fryer 07

REVIEW – I’ve used an air fryer for several years and appreciate its utility, speed, and convenience. I use it far more than my oven, it doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna in the summer months, and reducing the amount of oil I consume is a healthy bonus. HYSapientia’s Air Fryer Oven has impressive

REVIEW – When it comes to serious blending of ingredients in our kitchen, there’s no doubt that our Blendtec blender is the tool of choice.  There’s no blending task that it can’t handle.  Some recipes, however, don’t really require that kind of power, and it would be handy to have a smaller, hand blender available.
