Honestly, that 'zombie for three days' line is so true. I tried pushing through weeknights last month and it wrecked my sleep for days. Tbh, I've started setting a hard cutoff time even on weekends, or I'll pay for it. Ngl, treating it like a job with weird hours is the only way to not burn out. You really have to listen to your body and sometimes just call it a night.

Seen too many close calls from ignoring simple safety steps.

Plastics can leak stuff into food, mostly when they get hot. I heard that this stuff can change how your body works and might fog up your thinking. Going plastic-free probably does add up for your health in small ways.

Isn't everyone maybe being too careful? I blast everything at 400 and my veggies come out fine. I mean, for stuff like asparagus or zucchini, high heat gets that good char without making it soggy. Even bell peppers can handle it if you cut them thick. I see what @nancythomas says about 350, but that just steams things in my experience. You gotta commit to the high heat and just shake the basket a lot more.

Man, a clean install always gets a happy nod from my clients.
