00:00Could cooking habits across the county be changing?
00:03When we think of making a meal we might get our pots and pans
00:06but one kitchen appliance seems to be taking over.
00:10So easy to make in your air fryer. Easy air fryer honey hot chicken.
00:14Air fryer crispy parmesan potatoes. An air fryer pizza toastie is one of the most
00:19elite things that you can have at lunch. They're so easy.
00:22The air fryer. A survey by the Good Food Nation found it's become the third most used kitchen
00:26gadget
00:27with more people choosing it over the conventional electric oven.
00:30So basically I'd use it for toast and bread usually. I might use it for cocktail sausages.
00:35Anything that can be used in an air fryer I would cook it in an air fryer.
00:39Anything really. I really like cooking roast potatoes in there
00:42with like salmon and things like that. It's really good.
00:44Mostly I use it for healthy foods instead of fast food and stuff like that.
00:48I'd use it probably two to three times a week.
00:51Not necessarily every day but yeah probably that often.
00:54I think it's really easy to cook and I can have it within just 20 minutes.
01:01Now I'm not the best cook and this air fryer has been in our office for quite some time
01:05now and I've never gone anywhere near it. But seeing as this utensil is becoming one
01:09of the most popular I thought it'd only be right to give it a try today.
01:13So I'm going to make a pizza toastie. It's one of the easiest recipes I saw online.
01:17Let's give it a go.
01:18I may have decided to make a toastie in the air fryer as some companies claim it makes
01:22the perfect toast. But more than three quarters of those surveyed
01:26would still rather use a traditional toaster. While the air fryer I used was just under
01:31£30 some people spend thousands on purchasing top of the range versions.
01:36But was it the perfect toastie though? Well I'll leave that for you to decide.
