Our electric company sent mom several texts about conserving electricity during the especially tricky days earlier this week.
Turn off the hot water heater, turn the heater way down, don't use the oven. Things like that.
Not being able to use the oven made us wonder what small appliances could be used in place of the oven.
The first thing we tried out was the air fryer for roasting poblanos. Just 15 minutes at 400° and that poblano is ready!
I placed it in a bag for 10 minutes and it peeled perfectly.
Roasted chiles are the best and we use them in so many recipes. It's nice to have another handy method of roasting them.
