Air Fryer, Toaster Oven + More. Enter to win a Sure-Crisp Oven from Hamilton Beach

November 16, 2020 by Jill 14 Comments

 I constantly fight the battle between “I want that kitchen gadget” and “I need more space on my counter.” The Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Oven allows me to have both. 

I was gifted the Sure-Crisp Oven by Hamilton Beach to facilitate my review. Hamilton Beach will gift one of my readers with this item as well. Affiliate/commission earning links may be used. All opinions mine.

Doesn’t take up much room on my already crowded counter top and it’s super deep.

Air Fryer, Toaster Oven + More. Enter to win a Sure-Crisp Oven from Hamilton Beach

I have never owned a toaster oven before now. My grandma did and I was always fascinated by her gadget that toasted the bread but did so many other things. I remember making S’mores in her toaster oven once, which you could totally do in this one – I just haven’t tried it yet. 

So far, I’ve mostly used mine to toast bread and make chicken nuggets but it can do a lot of different things.

I’ve always been happy to toast my bread the regular way. I have toast with avocado mash for breakfast a couple of times a week and my kids love cheesy toast with a cup of soup for a quick weeknight dinner. 

This is my favorite weekday breakfast – mashed avocado with olive oil and Everything Bagel Seasoning.

Easy to read and use dials and settings.

What I like about the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Oven:

  • It’s easy to clean. The crumb catcher trap slides out easily.
  • All the pans you need are included. 
  • Everything is dishwasher safe
  • It’s EASY and you can cook lots of different things without using your oven and heating up the house. It’s hot in Texas most of the year and I like the option to make real food without turning on the oven.
  • The depth. You can fit a whole frozen pizza in here or six pieces of toast.

The Sure-Crisp oven comes with all the pans and trays you need.

So far, I’ve used my Sure-Crisp oven to air fry chicken nuggets and to reheat leftovers that would dry out or become tough in the microwave. But, I mostly use it for toast and I’ve retired my countertop toaster. 

My kids love this cheesy toast. We have it on fall and winter evenings with some soup.

Win one for yourself!

    Our toaster is dying. I’ve been contemplating replacing it with a multipurpose countertop appliance like this one- I love that it does air frying as well as just basic toaster oven stuff!!

    Love that you could air fry chicken nuggets in this! It looks like it would be good for reheating leftover pizza, too. And we’d have to try some of the cheese toast you made; I think my kiddo would enjoy that. Thanks for the chance!

    This would be an awesome addition to my kitchen….maybe I could actually make a crispy gluten free pizza, instead of the soggy mess I usually end up with!

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.

Anyone else having massive “This time last year” moments?
.
2020 started out so fine. We extended our kids’ winter break to take them on a Disney Cruise- no better reason than that, amiright- and I was excited about all the Disney Cruise blog posts I was going to write. Disney Cruises are (errr...were?) one of the most searched terms on my website and how a lot of people found me.
.
Early 2020 was such a time of hope and light that pretty much everyone took for granted.
.
While it’s become glaringly obvious the change in the calendar isn’t a magic potion, I still have hope for this year and still believe there magic yet to happen.
.
You know...the good stuff.

We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the holidays and finally dug into it this weekend. Our box had a cold-weather theme which was perfect for this cold weather we're having (flurries in San Antonio can you believe it?!)

Each box contains three recipe cards, a culinary tool, an iron-on patch and Table Talk conversation starter cards. A shopping list is included and also emailed to you in advance in case you want to be ready to cook as soon as your box arrives. You buy all the groceries yourself. 

We made homemade chicken and dumplings this weekend and they turned out amazing. If you need modifications (i.e. gluten or dairy free) you can hop on to the @raddishkids website and go to the "Bonus Bites" section. You'll find modifications, food videos, extra recipes, parent info and more fun stuff. 

The price ranges from $20-$24 per box depending on what type of subscription you choose. Boxes are designed for kids 4-14+ with varying degrees of supervision needed depending on your child's skills and age. Kyle and i have done two meals from this box - we still have cookies left to make - and worked together about 50-50. It was a lot of fun. 

To order yours, here's my affiliate link https://raddish-kids-monthly-delivery.sjv.io/edoAr or read my full review (link in bio)

I think today would be better if I could hang out I think today would be better if I could hang out with donkeys all day. 

There's a reason animals are used in therapy - they are both comforting and fun. This picture was from our October outing to Wassermann's Wranch outside of Alpine (in West Texas.) I love my beautiful state and the landscape of West Texas fascinates me because it's so different than what I see every day here near San Antonio.

Wassermann's Wranch is located just a few miles outside the city. It's a private hobby farm that sees visitors by reservation. It's absolutely worth planning your day around and you can check out more in my blog post linked in my bio.

I didn't realize I liked donkeys until I got to know these guys. The owner, Heidi, told me "I think you might be a donkey chick."

I think I'm OK with that.
