By Smythe Richbourg / February 21, 2021 / Reviews / air fryer, Cooking, Food, Home and Kitchen / 1 Comment

REVIEW – Pandemic cooking is a thing. Other than bread baking, I think the most articles I have seen have mentioned air fryers. I tried one in the before times but returned it due to its size and the noise. But recently, an opportunity was presented to the Gadgeteer Squad to test the Nuwave Brio

By Julie Strietelmeier / January 6, 2021 / Reviews / Blender, Food / 28 Comments

REVIEW – I often like to drink a protein shake after I workout and getting my full-sized Ninja blender out of the cabinet each day is a little overkill to prepare one smoothie/shake. Being the minimalist that I am, I like appliances that are easy to use, easy to clean, and don’t take a lot
