They are really not a good cooking tool imo, and to put it in the most forgiving way, good at only a few limited tasks.

I was given an air fryer against my will, and I'm a great cook that makes everything from scratch. I can say in my experience that it's an occasional time saver, but it's really good at ruining food and making it come out worse than literally any other method of cooking.

In my very unpopular opinion, there is nothing you can do in an air fryer that you cannot do with standard equipment and have it come out much better.

I get the convenience, and I get how life-changing they can be for people who don't want to cook, but I don't think they're good for everybody.
