I have an oven, a large microwave with a convection oven, and an air fryer. They all serve different purposes.
I use the oven for baking and things like making a full roast (i.e. multiple trays). The convection oven is my "normal" oven as it's smaller but still large enough to do stuff like a massive lasagne (I have a 4 litre Pyrex dish that fits!).
The air fryer on the other hand is amazing for crispy stuff, reheating junk food leftovers, scorching vegetables, and so forth.
The combi oven is not the gold standard. The smallest vessel for the task at hand is.
I own a toaster oven slash air fryer that makes cooking such a breeze. So so much so. I no longer own a microwave.
Oven has a reheat button that I set for 5, 10, 15 minutes. A little bit slower, but so much better
homemade pizza 12 minutes homemade burritos, 6 minutes homemade cookies, 8 minutes.
This includes prep time.
Can you give me your recipes?
That's fairly simple. brown a pound of meat chop it up really fine after it cools. Then put it on the freezer.
For burrito, I'll take a tortilla, spread refried bean on top. Sprinkle cheese. Throw on meat and any other toppings I have chopped up at the time
Put it in the toaster oven air fryer for four and a half minutes. Add salsa hot sauce. Perfection.
For pizza, I'll use pita bread or naan-bread.
apply pizza sauce cheese maybe some pepperoni sprinkle on the meat a little pizza seasoning about nine minutes in the air fryer toaster oven.
Slice and eat. Maybe dip the crust in my choices of sauce. Who knows?
To make it even easier and quicker, I keep all my ingredients on a small sheet pan so I can just grab it out of the fridge all at once
Oh, and if you don't want to chop up vegetables yourself, you can usually get frozen pre-chopped onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
Total price for one pizza is probably about $1.50, $2.00, burritos, even less.
