Why Air Fryers Are So Popular
An air fryer works by circulating hot air around food, creating a crispy texture similar to frying—without deep oil.
People love them because:
- They cook food faster
- Use less oil (healthier in some cases)
- Are easy to use and clean
The Expert Warning
While convenient, relying only on an air fryer instead of a full oven can have downsides.
