Air fryers are the most trendy kitchen appliance there is right now! An air fryer works via hot air that circulates around food placed in a fryer-style basket. It’s a simple concept that works fast (faster than an oven!) and is healthy, so you can get fried-type food with little or no oil.

Everyone already knows it’s a great way to make wings or fries, but the best air fryers can be used to make everything from steaks to burgers to roasted vegetables and so much more. And with ever-expanding features and lots of budget-friendly options, it’s a great addition to a kitchen, large or small.
