Perhaps because my air fryer is a cheap $20 model which is really only

cooking in a convention oven. :)
It may not look like a convection oven but basically that's what it is.
It has a heat element and a fan to blow the hot air around for faster
and more even cooking. My first one was a Phillips model they don't even make anymore. I was pretty happy with it, but then my friend got a
Cuisinart model. He and his wife were so happy with it that I got one. I liked my new one that I bought one for my son and DiL and they love it
and use it all the time.-a It will bake,broil, toast and air fry.

Sure, but my air fryer doesn't look anything like that and a decent lamb chop or two wouldn't fit in it.

The younger generations are into gloopy, sloppy, burgers. It's not
really something that old folks can handle.

And always the damned mayo, who's idea was it to slop that on an
otherwise perfectly decent burger?
Some people like mayo.
It became a defacto element, needlessly for those who prefer to taste
their beef, not spreads.
Same thing holds for guacamole burgers...why?

If mayo is a default addition, I order the item without mayo.

I remain baffled, but it rocks a mean salsa when made that way:

Jalapeno peppers! I love 'em! He has some really good recipes.
I don't like avocados and avocado based foods. However, I do like avocado oil and often use it for cooking. Go figure :)
