tbh I do get your defensiveness, air fryer owners. I once shelled out £8 on a slightly fancy potato masher which was ultimately uncomfortable to hold and bad at mashing potatoes but I insisted on using it for years to justify the expense.
@stavvers I thought they were crap but got one as a random gift (I suspect a regift?) And it turned out I love it. But we don't have a convection oven (not super common when we bought our oven)
