    Exactly:

    • It reheats food quickly with a better texture than the microwave
    • It keeps food warm once I’ve cooked it and i can use it to keep part of dinner warm while I cook the rest
    • It cooks food evenly because it is a convection oven, and starts the process quicker because it is small
    • It replaces my toaster
    • I can bake one thing in the oven (fish potatoes, broccoli) while the other cooks in the air fryer, especially helpful when they have vastly different cook times and temperatures









  • I cut my indoor basil and mint plants way back because they were making a mess. I hope they bounce back! This week, I’ll go out looking for a couple pepper plants to try kratky for the first time outdoors. Basically, I make a big nutrient solution in a bucket, I leave the plant’s dirt slightly submerged in the water, and hopefully the plant roots into the nutrients and grows like crazy. I have a small backyard and no hose hookup so I want this to be a simple solution to grow red peppers or poblanos’ as well as a spicy pepper like a jalapeño or Thai chili. Step 1 is finding the seedlings!









  • I dont have much space or a hose hookup, but I want to try kratky outdoors with some Thai chillis and poblanos. I recently started the plants, and I plan to go to a garden center for starters if they fail. I’m excited!

    Kratky is a hydroponic method where you stick plant roots in a mix of water and nutrients, and the plant grows as is! I’ve only done it indoors, so an outdoor grow will a new challenge but a fun one.
