Air fryers have come a very long way in a short period of time. Now they’re essentially little ovens that can do everything our big oven can do PLUS a ton more. I love my air fryer oven and I use it regularly to avoid having to heat up the whole house in the summer, making a mess in the larger oven, and just to handle smaller jobs that I don’t feel like cleaning all the pans out of our oven for 😉
