Turbo Broiler

My uncle from Guam sent me an Aeromatic Convection Oven (a.k.a. as turbo broiler) like the one in the pic. He found out that we couldn't find any here in Canada. Ironically, the day after I got the turbo, we saw one in Walmart selling for $120 (steep price compared to USD$60, as was written in the customs declaration form).

We have limited counter space so I had to stow away my toaster oven and give its space to my new 'turbo'. It's super convenient, I can get the effect of frying without the oily mess. (My husband loves fried food, I guess using the turbo is a great compromise since the fatty oils can just drip down from the grill.) I've used it to cook chicken, sausages, and pork. It's easy to clean too - I just put foil at the bottom to collect the oil drippings, and after cooking, I just take it out and wipe clean the glass, all I really need to wash is the grill.  Best of all, I can just leave it as it cooks, great for a new mom!

Yesterday, I needed to heat up left-over pizza. I usually use my toaster oven for this to make the crust crispy, but my toaster oven is in a cabinet and I have nowhere to put it. I considered heating it up in the microwave but I hate soggy pizza. I thought what the heck, I'll just use my turbo. What do you know, it had the same effect as the toaster oven!

I love my new turbo <3
