Another Angry Womantired of the artists discourse. lemme try something a little different: air fryers are shit.
some of you have *enormous* kitchens and it shows 💅
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.
running a quick calculation based on the numbers here, if I were to invest in a low-end-of-mid-range air fryer (£120), I would need to eat 632 portions of oven chips in order to break even. at my rate of consuming oven chips, it would take me 158 years to start saving money (less flippantly, even if I were to use it daily it would take two years to start seeing savings) https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/oven-air-fryer-slow-cooker-or-hob-comparing-the-cheapest-ways-to-cook-a0kmu7Z7tBhJ
karen@stavvers I got myself a ninja 14 in 1 - it definitely saves money, but, and here's the big but which isn't talked about enough, I am cooking largely for one or two and I cook from scratch. So on a steam meal (for example) I can cook salmon, carbs and veg in 10 mins, costs about 15p. Pressure cooked soup or stews on a batch cook, about 10p. They don't teach u how to cook tho, and if u don't preserve, bake, and make soups etc loads of functions won't be economical
