I am completely obsessed with my air fryer. Since my husband decided during the early days of my pregnancy was a good time for him to go on a diet (I was not bitter at all 😒) and super oily food during pregnancy wasn’t sitting well with the baby, the air fryer has been one of our favorite kitchen gadgets.
BONUS: you don’t have splashed oil to clean off your stovetop and backsplash. Anything and everything I can make in the air fryer is a win win.
Post-baby, the airfryer is still one of our primary kitchen appliances. Now we can’t live without the microwave, Instant Pot and Air Fryer. It was worth every penny — or Jordanian Dinar (JD) in my case.
