Since I first heard about air fryers, I have regularly wondered if I should get one. Like many, I am a fan of fried food and I am always looking for fun and useful kitchen tools to add to my collection.

But as often as I have thought about investing in an air fryer, I have also questioned whether it is worth purchasing.

All I can say is that as we begin to host friends and family again, it is a good time to consider the air fryer. You can make nearly anything in an air fryer.

Some foods are obvious – French fries and roasted vegetables, for instance – but other people also love using their air fryers to cook everything from egg rolls to onion rings.

Unlike toaster ovens, which cook your food using a single heating element at the top or bottom of the machine, air fryers are essentially countertop convection ovens that cook your food from all angles using a heating element and powerful fan.
