The air fryer has become an integral part of our kitchen – it has even replaced our toaster oven. It’s quick, quiet, and so easy to use. The most important thing to consider when picking a model is the size of the basket. You should pick a model with a large enough basket that you aren’t forced to cook multiple batches for a single meal. Go big!
