These inventions, however, pale in comparison to mankind's true magnum opus: the simple air fryer.

Advantages of An Air Fryer

  The air fryer is more than just a beautiful looking appliance, it is also functions better than its lowly counterparts. The air fryer requires much less oil than a deep fryer, which means you will be able to greatly reduce the risk of heart disease by replacing oily fast food with healthy food cooked in an air fryer (Eldridge, 2023). Furthermore, since air fried food contains less oil, it also contains less saturated-fats. Replacing deep-fried food with air-fried food would reduce obesity in its consumers, which consequently reduces chances of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, etc… (Teruel et al, 2015). But the benefits do not end here! Using air fryers instead of a gas stove or deep fryer will reduce the risk of cancer!

It is truly a versatile tool that cannot be overlooked.  In addition, since the machine provides different settings depending on what you want to cook, you can turn it on and leave the room without worrying about your food burning! Furthermore, your food will always be cooked to perfection as long as you place the correct ingredients.   The following images were taken with my phone then resized. The first shows the air fryer being used to make brownies., the second shows the end result (after I ate some of them).
