I was told we need an air fryer. Not that we eat very much deep fried food. Or any at all, since we don’t have a deep fryer. But for some reason we need one.
I don’t mind the concept of an air fryer. But I live in a house with limited counter space. As it is, we have too many small appliances that are taking up what little of that space we had to begin with.
Even in the cupboards, it’s difficult to find space. Putting away pots, pans and small appliances is very much like a game of Tetris. If you spin this to the right, and that one to the left and put this on top of that one, then you can slide this in on top of the whole works. And if you close the door really quick, it might stay there. But it is quite likely you will discover the cat is missing and been buried behind the pots and pans. So you have to start over.
And the worst part? Even if you get the combination just right and managed to get everything stacked just so, unlike actual Tetris, it doesn’t all disappear.
So we have an air fryer currently sitting on the counter by the toaster, coffee machine, microwave, Instantpot, slow cooker, rice maker and… is that a George Foreman grill? Where did that come from? Not to mention all the other small appliances which have migrated to other parts of the house, supposedly for storage, but we may never see or hear from them again. So maybe some of that stuff does disappear.
But I have an old house. Counter space is limited. And when the house was built, they didn’t have a separate appliance for every single cooking task. To the point where I’m going to have to put on an addition, just to store the small appliances.
So maybe an air fryer isn’t such a bad idea. If we only had a place to keep it.
But those French fries do look really good. If I could just find space to cut up a potato.
