I resisted buying an air fryer forever because I thought it was another “internet appliance,” but honestly it replaced like 4 things in my kitchen. My apartment kitchen is tiny enough that opening the oven heats the entire living room. The air fryer lives out because I use it almost daily — salmon, roasted vegetables, reheating pizza, even frozen dumplings. Weirdly the biggest win is psychological - cooking feels less exhausting now.
