Just had a really disappointing chat with DH tonight. I want to borrow an airfryer for our babyshower next weekend and he just didn't seem interested at all, and even brought up divorce! AIBU to be upset by this?? not sure why its gone bold

I’m waiting for the update where the husband ends up running off with the air fryer that OP welcomed into their home. We can probably read the husbands story in the next issue of ‘take a shit’ magazine, “my hot spicy new lover made me leave my dull marriage and go from 0 to 200•c in seconds, it was my wife’s friend, but as soon as I saw it I couldn’t resist it’s sexy electric saving abilities”.

Or maybe Barry's offered to lend her a spare...

I'm so confused

WTFF does a baby shower have to do with an air fryer and divorce??

@WeeOrcadian I suspect you speak for us all.

@booklady1990 YANBU to be upset that your DH is threatening divorce when you’re expecting the imminent birth of a baby. Is it your first child?

I strongly suspect his need to possibly instigate divorce proceedings over an air fryer , may be a mask for a deeper seated issue.

Don’t be ridiculous!

I prefer the versazone to the dual basket. You get the option of using the two halves separately - or you can use the one big drawer which is big enough for a roast chicken with potatoes and carrots/parsnips alongside. I can even fit a pizza in it (standard supermarket size, not the finest/taste the difference) type ones.

Hankunamatata · 16/11/2024 12:53

Air fryer phobia?
Deep seated fear of air fried foods?

Is that what you cook in your air fryer 😱?

I second the two basket design - can cook sausages and bacon in the large pan and chips/hashbrowns in the other (enough for two-three, done in less than 15mins with a quick rinse in soapy water)… husband just plating up now!

DH is such a convert that sadly for the ILs, they are all getting one this Christmas. 🤦🏽‍♀️

100% I started with the ninja foodie but had to add a dual basket one after a few months.
I wouldn't lend them out though.

An attempt at wind them up and watch them go thread.

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 16/11/2024 10:34

I truly hope the OP returns to the thread for clarification of what happened.

Is this a continuing behavior or a one-off? How is he the majority of the time?
Is he critical of you daily or weekly? Are you critical of him?

Details are needed.

Lifeglowup · 16/11/2024 10:30

Thanks. I was wondering about that. There is one veggie in the family so I often cook a veggie and non veggie version so I’m not sure if it would work for us.

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 16/11/2024 10:29

FetchezLaVache · 16/11/2024 01:12

You can borrow my air fryer! You can borrow my husband too if you like. I'd only really want the air fryer back.

This made me laugh WAY too hard!

On another note, which air fryer is best? Why are they so invaluable? What am I missing?

I have been hesitant to get an air fryer after jumping on the George Foreman bandwagon, the indoor grill bandwagon and the electric rotisserie bandwagon. All fun to use and all horrible, horrible, horrible to clean.

Timetoread · 16/11/2024 10:27

Come on, you know it's not really about the air frier, is it?

Obimumkinobi · 16/11/2024 10:27

I mentioned this thread to my equally disinterested DH, who looked up from his newspaper and said "I suppose you want me to hire you an airfryer for Christmas now, don't you?!" 😀

JayniSummers · 16/11/2024 10:26

Is this also a gender reveal ? Blue chips in one or pink fluffy roast potatoes in the other , both standing near each drawer being filmed on the big reveal ? TBF ,that still won't be the worse I seen

isthismylifenow · 16/11/2024 10:22

Never borrow an airfryer.

I used my Dad's about 10 years ago, and still haven't given it back.

It's one of those items that just get claimed.

Like a salad bowl left at a bbq.

Totally missed the point of the thread though I think.

What I really want to know is are air fryers really that good?
They take up a lot of room on the kitchen worktop and I only have a small kitchen. That's my concern.
But if they're as good as everyone says they are then I think I'd maybe compromise.
Is the appeal that they make food taste better or that they're fast food?

My ASD son loves his little air fryer, cooks all sorts of delicious food for his dinner😀 Really cost efficient compared to the main oven.

mrpotatocat · 16/11/2024 10:20

Did he perhaps read the article about air fryers spying on you? What does he not want the Chinese to know is my question.

PurebredRacingUnicorn · 16/11/2024 10:15

Does he belong to a religion which prohibits the use of air fryers or other small auxiliary cooking devices?
