Or are they just collecting dust somewhere? I’m considering getting one, but it takes up a lot of counter space…

    The air fryer for me has become a way to much more quickly cook up something as opposed to the oven or stovetop, but without resorting to the microwave.

    Even something like a not-so-great frozen breakfast sandwich to eat on the go is way better cooked in an air fryer than a microwave, provided I plan enough to give myself the 10-15 minutes it needs.

    I love mine, but I mostly just use it for chips, baked potatoes, spring rolls etc. I’m never going to be one of these super air fryer cooks you see on you tube.

    We use ours all the time, we got the ninja one that is like a toaster oven/ air fryer, we use it daily for morning toast, and almost every time we cook, I toss a pork chop i there and some potatoes etc and bake it for 20 mins flipping it half way. I use it to reheat wings and frys when we pick up food and heat themup to give them an extra bit of crispiness as well

    My son is autistic, and eats almost exclusively breaded chicken for dinner (tenders, nuggets and the like), so the air fryer is a lifesaver. I can quickly could cook a small amount of these really quickly. So it gets used adviser l almost every day in our house. I also use it for all sorts of other food fairly frequently.

    Got one that is a toaster oven too. We use it daily.

    Additionally, it flips up vertically so it takes up much less counter space when not in use.

    Bought mine a year ago, still using it every week. Mostly for fries, croquettes and fried calamari.

    Convenient to use, and I don’t use as much oil as if I was deep frying in oil.
