Question:

Are air fryers worth it? Helpful?

— Amy Sherman

Answer:

Yeah, I guess they are, you know, uh, it also depends on your situation. Um, I don't have, I guess I do have an air fryer, but I don't use it. It's more like a toaster oven that doubles as an air fryer. Um, but my in-laws have one that I actually like much better and that's one of the bucket kind of ones that you push in and it works much, much better than my one that's like a toaster oven. Um, are they worth it? I would say if you have the space to store it, sure, you know, it's one more of those devices or things that I have to store under a cabinet somewhere. And that's usually the reason I don't like things like that as much is because it has basically one function and I'm figuring out where I'm going to put it in the kitchen or pantry area for it. Um, but they're great for cooking, having a shelf top kind of a thing to be able to make it kind of quick and easy. A lot of the things you can do in an air fryer, you can do in an oven just as easily, but if you don't want to use your oven or don't have one, an air fryer is so it's a great alternative for that.
