Air Fryers: Do they live up the hype?

Air fryers are the rage right now, and in our opinion, justifiably so. We bought one in early 2021 when several of us were on a diet. We were eating a lot of raw vegetables and getting tired of it. So, bought an air fryer mostly for the purpose of quickly cooking great-tasting vegetables.

Today, we are still fans.

If you live in the south (as we do), you know that the south loves fried foods in spite of the health risks. While the idea of making foods with a “fried” taste without frying them in cooking oil seems almost too good to be true, an air fryer pulls off this feat. How? I am not exactly sure, but try it if you don’t believe me.

If you think about it, it is very rare to find situations where you can make a particular food healthier without giving up taste. That is where the air fryer shines; the most obvious example is french fries, which taste just as good when made in an air fryer and contain a fraction of the calories and fat.
