“In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my gas oven died. It was an inconvenient time to try to buy major appliances, as there were shortages due to the manufacturing plants being shut down. However, I was not a fan of the gas range that was here when I bought my house (to put it nicely), so it was a good opportunity to upgrade to an electric range. I was excited to find that Frigidare had recently come out with an oven with an air fry function. I’d also been wanting an air fryer, but the counter-top versions are large and I have limited space, so to get two in one was a fantastic find! The first thing I did, as recommended by my Mom, was try reheating leftover Costco pizza. What amazing results! It brought my pizza back to life, about 95% like pizza fresh from the pizza oven. I’ll never reheat pizza in the microwave again!” – April Ferre
