I’ve seen “Betty Crocker” here several times. I just googled it and it comes up a pizza maker. Can someone please tell me what imamothers mean by it?

Wonderpots. I “baked” pesach cakes on the stovetop with the wonder pots.

A few years ago some people were talking about the wonder pot, I had no idea what they meant so I googled it.
I found a pot that you can boil water in it while recharging your cell phone, I did not think that is what the women were talking about.


It was a large flat circle you put on a burner..

You could put a tube pan or bundt cake pan on it.

Then it had a large cover so the pan was in a round box.

You could bake a cake inside.

But it would not fit a 9 x 13, only round cake pans.

That is it, it’s officially a pizza maker but you can honestly make whatever you want in it. It’s essentially a griddle with a cover.

I started my first pesach with a double electic burner and a crockpot.....then the next year, adding a larger toaster oven.

An air fryer is a mini oven that works faster than an actual oven where you can cook, roast, bake, dehydrate food, etc which is perfect for pesach if you dont have access to an oven. Crockpot for shabbos (or you can just leave the food regular on the stovetop with a blech which works as well), the rest (like making eggs for breakfast you can do on the stovetop.

Here are some air fryers you can look into:

There is a thread about it and recommendations for other air fryers as well (although make sure it has features that include roasting, baking, dehydrating, etc)-- https://www.imamother.com/foru.....92661

There are also tons of blogs and videos that help you figure out how to make things in the air fryer if you need help using it.

The first year I made pesach, I killed my oven when I ran the self-clean cycle 😨

We did not have any kugels or baked desserts, which is definitely different than the pesach menu I had planned for, but no one went hungry.

I only had a stovetop and a crockpot. I made mashed potatoes and quinoa, stewed or sautéed chicken, yapzik in the crockpot, hard boiled eggs, tuna latkes, etc. I ended up buying lots of chocolate, nuts and candies for dessert and making compotes in my crockpot.

A convection toaster oven starts at about $40.
Cheaper than the specialty pans needed to bake on a stovetop.

is the air fryer option important?

I can get a small convection oven with or without air fryer the one without being cheaper?

am I losing alot by taking the cheaper one without the air fryer?

I love my air fryer. It also uses less electricity, then an oven, because it heats up a smaller area

If you Need to make Kugel and cakes, and other things, you should invest in something. We go without these things for the week.

I was never a fan of the convection oven but love my air fryer and actually use the air fryer setting the most (it has a few different settings like bake, roast, dehydrate, etc). I have a 5 quart one that has several preset cooking options and use it all the time. I got some disposable foil pans for it which works great (and you can buy silicone pans or use parchment paper as well) and keeps it nice and clean. I would totally invest in an air fryer for Pesach (although I wouldnt buy a smaller one) if I didnt have an oven since you can put it away and use it every Pesach. There are recipe blogs and video tutorials that you can look up if you want to learn more tricks on how to use it (like I have seen videos on omlettes and fritattas, eggplants, etc).
There are some cheaper ones on sale now which I will link some (although you would have to read the comments to see if they are good) but feel free to research it to see what else is available especially if you can afford to invest in better ones because there are tons of options:

There’s a cookbook that someone from Detroit put out (Julie Hauser maybe?) and the entire premise is cooking for Pesach without an oven. Maybe someone who knows what I’m talking about can chime in?

The first few years we made pesach, I only had a stovetop and everything was made on the stove. I don't remember what I did about cakes and cookies though. We had a small oven for a time but it never really cooked properly and things didn't bake evenly.
2 years ago I bought a full sized oven for pesach and it was a gamechanger. We pull out the regular oven and put this one instead and it's like I'm cooking normally. It makes life so much easier. Could I manage without it? Sure, but it is sooo much easier being able to bake and cook as normal.
