I've been a cook for 15 years as a job and me and the chef are huge advocates of getting an air fryer in the kitchen cause it actually covers SO MUCH MORE. You can make fries without blanching the potatoes! It makes great toast for when we need garlic bread and you can hold it at thar temp, it's a dehydrator, toss some whole mushrooms in oil and blast em in and you'll get amazing toasted mushrooms. A standard ass frozen waffle buttered on both sides and thrown I'm for 4 minutes is an amazing way to make a shitty treat great. I had huge doubts before getting one for Christmas cause basically my parents found one om sale for so cheap they had to get it for someone. Its not a glorified easy bake oven and it does have some serious utility. I have a bread knife and my good chef's knife and no other knives or peelers or wherever. I don't Iike gadgets generally. Air fryers deliver
Air fryer makes fries so consistently good I struggle when I get those limp soggy ones at restaurants
