Is it worth getting an Airfryer?

The Pro’s

Air fryers make it easy to whip up frozen foods, and they can do so in a way that is slightly healthier than deep-frying. The results are much better than oven-frying, and your kitchen stays cool.

The Downside

Air-frying also produces high temperatures at a very rapid rate, thus making it extremely easy to burn food. And charred food may be carcinogenic. In addition, because most devices cook 1 to 3 pounds of food at a time, it can be challenging to air-fry meals for a large family.
