Thanks, dstr.:) The air fryer, yes, I just recently bought a Philip's Avance airfryer, their newest model. Never thought I'd buy one of those things until a good friend told me he ordered one. We usually like the same tools so I researched where to get one in Canada and immediately placed my order. BTW, mine arrived weeks before he got his. Used frozen fries in the fryer, 400F for 10 mins. same for onion rings bought a bag of frozen onion rings(my first ever) 400F for 10 mins and you saw the pix. Awesome, just like deep fried except no added fat. BTW I have always hated frozen fries until now and in the airfryer they turn out perfectly. Please don't take those times as the Time. because I think it may change on the volume of fries you put into the fryer. There is no heat up time, put the rings in set the temp. set the time press start. Done in 10 mins. no smell of oil, no oil to deal with, no safety issues. Can you tell how thrilled I am with this purchase. https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/philips-avance-airfryer/?cm_src=PIPRecentView Mind you I can't see doing meat/poultry in an airfryer when you have a KK. I seriously doubt you would be as happy with the results. BTW, the onion rings stay crispy for the whole meal and the frozen fries are very crispy too.

I hate when things don't work as expected. Glad it still tasted good.

dstr, funny, homemade fries are not nearly as good as the frozen ones. Never thought I'd say that.

Dang. I am seriously regretting my switch at the grocery store today from burgers to shrimp.

Requis, Congrats on your new grill!! Did the kids pick out the colour? cuz I gotta say that grill will be handed down for ages !! Good call on the build out, cottages are nice but getting up the 400 is a nightmare ,assuming yer anywheres near the GTO. You are going to have an absolute ball cooking on that beauty ! Meat, veges, pies, cookies and PIZZA!!!! Zo0

No torch, I used the gas grill in the oven.

@CeramicChef Fess up, MacKenzie. Did you use your brulee torch on that cheese on the bottom bun, as it looks absolutely perfect!! Or, was it done in the Air Fryer?

Another winner dinner there Charles!

The hipsters have resurrected the classic "Shrub" for cocktails. They are essentially fruit/herb mixers that have vinegar in them. Originally they were made by letting some of the fruit ferment/sour.

Glad to hear it went well. You may still see some venting depending on how high the temp got last time. I discovered I needed more when doing a pizza cook at about 600 degrees. I hope you will post some pics of the new deck.

Funny, when I was mixing up the mayo and sriracha I thought someone is going to get a surprise, no ketchup.;)

Would love to hang and sample beers, but VA is a tad far for me to drive!

grills have arrived, great packaging Dennis! Teak table crate was smashed from the bottom, but table is fine!! used a skid steer to get it to the back out door kitchen, the smaller one is still crated as the deck is being built. It took 4 of use just to get it off that little box in the middle of the crate, unbelievable build quality seeing these things for the first time is impressive! getting ready to burn in today so that we can cook tomorrow for Father's Day. Quick question would rain affect the burn in process if I have it rolled out from under the gazebo? High-class problem do I burn with coffee wood charcoal or coconut charcoal...this is gonna be great! thanks Again Dennis! oh where do I find the grate...for the bottom? Is that in the box with the wrench? cheers, BJ
