My trip to Budapest - Holocaust day

 It is the second time I have traveled to Budapest, only this time; it is in a different lineup. This time I went with the family. It was a slightly different experience from being with friends. We were in many restaurants of all kinds - authentic Hungarian food, steak restaurants, Italian, and occasionally we also sinned at Burger King. I tasted Curtosh, delicious, but I do not understand the big rush around this dessert. We were in stunning landmarks. But I think the most remember event for me from the trip is not the most positive one. I drove with my dad to a flea market half an hour from the city center; it is considered the largest market in Eastern Europe. My dad loves antiques and jewelry, so I did not want him to miss this experience. The market was huge and clean, and all the merchants had already arranged their things; from jewelry to furniture, everything was well kept and beautiful. As we continue to the depths of the market, I see that more and more stalls are selling Nazi things - passports, pictures of Hitler, uniforms, pins. I was shocked. Why would anyone even buy these pictures? I went back to reality. It was not pleasant to go back to reality.
Now that Holocaust Remembrance Day is approaching, I think it is worth noting that Hungary was one of the cruel states against the Jews; they were accomplices to the Nazis and killed about 600,000 Jews.
Many of the Jews were thrown into the Danube River in Budapest; it is said that the river was red from the blood of the bodies for a long time

The Ninja air fryer device

The Ninja air fryer device


. As you might know, I'm a healthy vegan, which means I avoid eating animal products. I eat whole food plant-based foods, like fruits and vegetables. Obviously, I don't need to cook Fruits, but vegetables like potatoes or broccoli need to be cooked. I searched for healthy ways to cook vegetables until I found the Air fryer. In my previous blog, I reviewed the steaming method for cooking food; today, I want to share information about another healthy way to cook your food - Air frying. 

The Air fryer is a relative newcomer to the world of kitchen devices and is an advantage in a whole-food, plant-based kitchen. With the capability to push hot air faster and more powerfully than a convection oven, cooking times are reduced, and you get crispy and crunchy textures—no oil needed!

 Compared to deep-frying food, I use significantly less oil when using an air fryer. Less oil means fewer calories and less saturated fat, which is more health-friendly food. Remember that cooking with little or no fat doesn't necessarily make something "healthy. The ingredients are what make the meal–so focus on lean proteins and vegetables.









Foodi Dual Zone fryer


 Air fryers are great for low-fat dinners, but only being able to cook one part of your meal at a time isn't exactly ideal. That is why Ninja's Foodi Dual Zone fryer has two separate cooking baskets – both baskets can be set to different times and temperatures but will finish simultaneously. So you can cook two different foods simultaneously.


   

What I Like 

Dual cooking zones

Smart Finish for a coordinated finish time

Extra space for large batches of food

What I Don't Like

Takes up a lot of space

Large batches cook longer

Relatively expensive


In conclusion, this air-fryer device is an excellent tool for cooking food, even if you are not vegan. If you are looking for a substitute for a traditional oven, consider trying this air fryer device. I am using it, and I am satisfied with it.
