Air fryer
A small convection oven. It is not a deep-fryer and it is not a wok.
When you need it
Crisping leftovers, small trays of vegetables, reheating without the big oven. Optional.
What to look for
A basket you can actually clean and a temperature that matches the recipe's doneness cues.
Alternatives
Oven with a fan. A skillet for shallow frying when the recipe is frying.
Care
Empty crumbs. Do not line every surface with mystery liners that block airflow.
