Yes, I do.


What You Need:

School glue
Borax (Sodium tetraborate)
Food coloring (optional)
Water
Two bowls


1.) In one bowl mix 1 oz. glue (about ¼ of the glue bottle) and ¼ cup water. If you want colored slime, add food coloring to the glue and water mixture. Lift some of the solution out of the container with the stir stick and note what happens.
2.) Add ¼ cup of Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution to the glue and water mixture and stir slowly.
3.) The slime will begin to form immediately. Lift some of the solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1.
4.) Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. This is a messy experience but is necessary because it allows the two compounds to bond completely. Don’t worry about any leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out.
5.) When not in use, store the slime in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep it from growing mold.

I just ordered the "Big Boss 16 QT Air Fryer" because of this thread and some research I've done. Sounds like air frying is the way to go and I wanted the larger capacity.

That's one of the ones I have for bigger jobs. It works great and I like the glass so you can see what's going on (it's heavy and unwieldy to clean, though). I also have a smaller one (Phillips, iirc) that I use for small jobs like a load of fries or a chicken patty.

I have a GoWISE 5.8-QT that I forgot about until this thread. It was a gift and I really need to dig it out of the basement closet and fire it up.

I just bought this used on Craigslist for $30. If it sucks and I don't like it, no big deal. I'll just put it back on CL and resell it.

So long as it works, I nearly guarantee you'll love it. If it quits, it's probably not worth trying to fix. But that's increasingly true in the evolving disposable tech society. But unless someone cooked a bunch of nasty stuff in it making it permanently smelly somehow [never heard of it, but I assume it's possible], or unless the body of it is cracked, it's nearly foolproof and does it's job quickly and quietly.

I'll inspect it and if it's messed up I'll kick her ass in the Quik Trip parking lot!

Here's the one I have. Got it for $80 from Bed Bath and Beyond. They had a sale on it, plus they send you like 20% off coupons which I used to order it for store pickup online and then I also had another 20% off coupon for when you buy in store. They basically stacked both of those.

This thread inspired my lunch choice today - wings. Stuck em in frozen and hit the fried chicken setting - let them go until done and tossed them in sauce. Easy and good.

I did try burgers in mine, didn't like how they turned out, the nuwave may be better for that purpose.

Since mine is a Nuwave fryer do I have to play Gary Numan while I use it??
