We're a family of five with a not-massive kitchen (it's not poky but surface and storage space pretty full). Have sometimes been tempted by an airfryer but felt that one big enough to feed us all would be too big for the kitchen.
Eldest is nearly 13, always after a snack especially after school and after sports on weekends (random timings so not always near a meal when he gets nack from a match). Middle is not far behind in age and a massive grazer anyway. Currently they resort to toast and cereal, plus toasties and somtimes yogurt but too often sweets too so am trying to give them healthier options (as well as stopping having too many sweet bits in house)
I've heard people talking positively about air fryers to quickly cook single chicken fillets, reheat leftovers, other quick but interesting snack options. I'm often WFH in this snacking time of day so I can be there to half supervise or to point them towards stuff, but ideally want them to be getting it on their own without me.
People with airfyers and teenagers, do you find they are useful for this sort of thing? I'm thinking we wouldn't need something massive if it was just for one or two snacks? Or should I just stop being swayed by trends and make them use the oven/microwave?
