She replied, “I’m bad at this kind of cooking but some of my mom’s friends said, ‘Do you have an air fryer?'” And I said, ‘No, what do I do with one?’ But I have one now and there are some things that I’ve learned and they’re easy.

Editor-in-Chief Heather Young agrees: “I have 13-year-old twins, and the air fryer is our go-to when we try to juggle meals around different hobbies and activities. My son is actually the biggest fan of the air fryer, and often uses it himself to help prepare quick-to-cook meals.
The fact that it’s easy and safe enough for him to use with confidence is a great plus point. The most popular thing he cooks is chicken and fries, but he often tries new recipes he sees on TikTok or Pinterest too.
