Our relationship with air fryers is complicated – equal parts love and frustration. While there's no denying these compact ovens have revolutionised quick, healthier cooking, they're not without their quirks. Thankfully, I've been using my air fryer for a long time now and like to consider myself somewhat of an expert. After testing all of the best air fryers on the market and making countless batches of chips and (finally) perfectly cooked chicken, I've battled the most common air fryer annoyances and developed simple workarounds that have saved my sanity. This experience has taught me exactly what you need to know before buying an air fryer of your own.I've also chatted to fellow air fryer pros who have shared their in-depth know-how about these irritating issues to help me compile this ultimate troubleshooting guide.
