If you’re within the marketplace for a tiny, speedy countertop oven, you’ll most likely be glad. And whereas the air fryer was good with brussels sprouts and eggplant, the results from my broiler were very shut behind. But I already have a big oven that I don’t mind utilizing every day.

But what was even worse was that every one that air-fried food only made me crave actual fried meals, aggravating the itch somewhat than scratching it.

With just slightly sadness, I gave my air fryer to a buddy, who makes use of it to make meatballs and sweet potatoes for her 5-year-outdated. And I’m glad to have my countertop again, which leaves me loads of room to wield my sheet pans without knocking into my Instant Pot.
