The massive trend in households buying an air-fryer was sparked and sustained, to some extent, by the current cost of living crisis. Sales of the kitchen gadget boomed and it seemed everyone was dashing out to get their hands on one of the cost saving appliances.
There is, however, one downside to the cooking method that owners have discovered. But equally, some fans of the gadget are investing in a £1.75 Wilko staple that they are claiming to be a 'game changer'.
As Nottinghamshire Live sister publication Manchester Evening News wrote: "These days it's hard to find someone who doesn't have an air fryer in their household", the publication noted that while they are considerably cheaper than some other cooking methods, air fryers do have their downside, they can prove difficult to clean after cooking greasy items inside.
