Wife wanted an air fryer for X-mas. Sure, it’s a bit on the “stereotypical gender roles” side of gift giving, but who am I to deny her what she wants?

I unboxed it for her and it says to do a 30 minute cook with no food in it to get rid of the burning plastic smell, so I cleaned everything and now it’s baking away the extra plastic.

The kitchen smells like burning plastic.

I can’t wait for some crispy fries and other assorted foods.

    I have an air fryer, but I dislike using it because it’s annoying af to clean and I’m lazy.

    If I microwave something, there is either no mess or I can chuck the plate or whatever in the dishwasher. If I use pots and pans on the stove, I can chuck them in the dishwasher (blah blah blah Teflon I get it but whatever, it’s just me).

    For an air fryer? I can’t exactly chuck it in the dishwasher and it seems to need to be cleaned after every single use or else it’s disgusting. I have been using those circular pieces of parchment paper which do help loads but still.
