I have been thinking about getting an air fryer, but I'm debating how much we would actually use it. We rarely eat fried food, but I've seen videos and recipes for fish, chicken, vegetables, and some desserts that look quick and easy. Still, I'm not sure if it would be any faster or more convenient than using the microwave or oven. Not to mention it would be one more appliance to clean and store (the latter is a big concern in our small kitchen).
On the other hand, I rarely bake anything in the oven because it takes so much time and energy to heat it up. Especially if I'm only sticking a piece of fish or something in there.
I bought a dehydrator a while back (only $20 or so, no big expense) thinking I would make a lot of jerky and dried fruits. But we quickly tired of jerky (sticks in teeth and too much salt) and we rarely eat dried fruit. I've probably dried tomatoes more than anything. The novelty wore off and it has been sitting in the cabinet for a few months. I would rather not repeat that experience with an air fryer, especially considering the higher cost.
Anyway, do you have an air fryer, which model, and how often do you actually use it? What do you use it for most often?
