Air fryers have surged in popularity for their ability to produce crispy, evenly browned “fried” foods without the need for a deep fryer. Utilizing hot air circulation akin to a convection oven, they drastically reduce or eliminate the need for cooking oil. Many models are equipped with versatile cooking functions, serving as multi-purpose appliances that can also function as toaster ovens, convection ovens, warmers, rotisseries, indoor grills, and more. Even the simplest air fryers boast the capability to cook an array of dishes, optimizing kitchen space and energy consumption. With rapid preheating times, minimal cook times, and easy cleanup, air fryers streamline the cooking process while delivering delicious results.
