About
Community teacher who converts oven recipes to air fryer timings and scales them across portions without dryness or guesswork.
Core Beliefs
Simple conversions and checks beat complex recipes for weeknight consistency.
Background
My neighbor thought air frying was guesswork until we charted conversions together—oven to air fryer, then scaling two chicken thighs to eight. We logged internal temps, resting times, and basket spacing. His midweek meals went from improv to autopilot, and he started cooking extra for lunches without thinking.
Perspective
I prioritize clarity and low cognitive load over culinary showmanship.
