That sounds great for this weather!

We got ours at Costco about six months ago. I never heard of the brand before but my sisters in SoCal tell me they have stores there. Sur le Table is the brand, but there were a number of options and prices, we went with just under a hundred bucks. But I wanted a bigger fryer than I had, a simple basket type that I inherited. I wanted the kind I saw in ads with the multiple trays! When I started looking at this model I liked it because it is 13qt, has a drip tray and two screened trays, a large basket, rotisserie w/3 attachments, easy to clean and the right price. Essentially it's a countertop convection oven set up to do numerous things. I use it a lot.

There were some others that were larger and I think one was the oven that cooks with light but I stopped looking when I got to the top of my budget on the shelf. So I got what I got and I have no regrets. Convection ovens are great, they save time, I've used them in restaurants, and everything tastes great. It's really hard to mess anything up other than poor timing and forgetting to baste some things. Even the charred parts of anything taste good.

So I recommend one that has more than one tray/position and a rotisserie, the drip tray for the bottom is essential. I'm sure there's more than one brand that have similar options and attachments. I found that those that are in the $99.00 and up range are the better investment.
