Will she/won’t she….

…. buy and air fryer? Having bought one as a Christmas gift for a young friend, I had the chance to try it out this week. The accompanying recipe book was excellent, full of imaginative ideas, so I decided to have a go with hassleback potatoes. Admittedly mine were larger than recommended and so took longer to cook, but they were great. They should have taken 25/30 minutes and came out crispy and golden on top. Later in the week I saw a stack of air fryers for sale and paused…..would I regularly use one? Based on energy and time saving evidence, yes. But it’s yet another appliance to store when not in use. Having a tidy kitchen and clear work surfaces matters to me, so I couldn’t leave it on view. Would I be bothered to get it out of the cupboard and put it away each time I use it? The jury is still out but I have to say I was sorely tempted to buy one. Have you succumbed?
