It’s official – air fryers can save you money. But there are even cheaper ways to cook

Haha. Can’t wait for the Fryer Tuck version. The problem there is that the people who are most likely to buy and use an air fryer wouldn’t know Friar Tuck from Pope Francis.

I like my air fryer. Like every kitchen appliance I own, it has its limitations.

I should, in a spirit of full disclosure, state a non-interest in the subject. I do not own an air frier; nor have I any desire to do so.

Fair enough. But out of curiosity, are they at all popular in China? I couldn’t imagine they would be given the nature of their cuisine.

I've seen them advertised online, but never in a store. I don't know anyone who owns one.

 

They would, I suppose, have some applications in Chinese cuisine, but not many.

 

The thing to have currently is an Instant Pot clone, but then they've long been into pressure cookers. I don't have an IP or pressure cooker,  either. Just a wok, a rice cooker and a slow cooker. I'm happy.

Thank you. I must say that I am surprised about the use of pressure cookers but that probably just reflects my ignorance of the scope of the cuisine.
