I finally gave in to the trend and got an air fryer... actually it is 7 in 1, so air fryer, dehydrator, rotisserie, and some other stuff, lol. Why did I wait so long!!! You know if you have apples that are little beyond eating freshness, but not spoiled, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on them and have completely fresh dried fruit (or fruit chips)! And, I made some purple potato frites to go with grilled steak last night... ZERO oil and they were crispy! I have broccoli to do roasted broccoli later this week - kale for some kale chips, and I am DEFINITELY making dried fruit!
 
I was gifted an air fryer for my birthday last year, but it wasn’t one of the multitask ones. I think I’m going to ask for an upgrade this year. I love mine!
 
The price of the air fryers has come down quite a bit. Mine with all those features was only around $100. I got the Instant Pot Vortex Plus. The basis is that you can get quick cooking, crispy outcome akin to fried items, but without oil or very tiny amount of oil. The dehydrator will also allow for making jerky. I am anxious to try that one as well.

Sounds like a great investment for someone like me who needs to learn to cook. Thanks for the tip.

I’m not sure if you’re on Pinterest, but there are SO many recipes for the air fryer. My first air fry was biscuit donuts...didn’t say it was a healthy first cook ;)
