Air fryers are on sale - get on the train! (Photo: Amazon)
Last February, I finally gave in and bought myself a hot air fryer for my birthday. While everyone else was fixated on making bread, I really wanted to find out what was so amazing about the tabletop device that practically dethroned the Instant Pot as the # 1 best seller.
Despite my ambivalence about trends and my aversion to cooking elaborate meals, I got myself a Ninja Air Fryer XL, which is currently available on Amazon for $ 50 off. Six months later my hot air fryer has become an integral part of my kitchen. It has helped me diversify my menu (no small matter) and take pride in the healthy meals I prepare (air fryers use up to 75 percent less oil than traditional deep fryers). Everything is quick and easy. I believe that an air fryer can turn anyone into a confident cook.
I'm still going full throttle with my Ninja Air Fryer XL. And by the way, it's not the only air fryer that is currently selling massively.

I'm here to say it: you can and should believe the hype surrounding hot air fryers. Here are five unexpected reasons for this.
Hot air fryers cook the crispiest, juiciest and healthiest vegetables

Vegetables may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of an air fryer. They weren't for me. Like everyone else, I imagined french fries and chicken wings - but broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts have become my favorites to cook in the air fryer. You can put any kind of vegetable in it and get the most tender results with hardly any oil. And it's that simple.
Usually I will preheat my Ninja Air Fryer XL to about 375 degrees first. Preheating is so important. Air fryers work similarly to convection ovens in that they circulate hot air around your food and ensure even heat distribution. I may have put a tablespoon of canola oil in the basket before cooking. The rust in the basket is preventing my vegetables from taking an oil bath.

Last winter I stared longingly at the grill on my deck and fondly remembered barbecues. At least we had barbecues! Then of course the thought occurred to me to pop corn on the cob in the hot air fryer. The result? Crunchy, juicy, delicious perfection. I turned the flasks once at 400 degrees and served them with burgers as if there weren't six inches of snow on the ground outside.
Air fryers are the easiest way to prepare breakfast, period.

For me, the air fryer became breakfast. I texted a friend about my purchase early on. Her answer was, "You have to cook bacon in this thing!" She was right. Cooking bacon in the air fryer is quick and easy - two minutes on 375, then flip and cook another two minutes if you like your bacon crispy, like me. It's also a lot less messy.
Now I'm famous for making a full diner breakfast - eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast - with just my air fryer. Toast? Yes you've read correctly. I just spread a little bit of butter over it and then put it in the air fryer basket (give or take; I like my toast toasty) for five minutes at around 325. You can finally say goodbye to your rusty old toaster and trade it in for a modern multitasker.
