@farm-mom My Mother bought me an air-fryer that is also a dehydrator, it will cook fish without all the oil and mess of frying. Makes a pretty good meatloaf. The dehydrator works good, too... I have never used a temp gauge but my husband bought one and is always testing the meat when I cook it, No need to it is done when I say it is done. Congrats on the new laptop. Yes, I always read the manuals, too. But hubby never reads them then he complains when something doesn't work right. MEN, right!!!
