Better Than We Deserve

This one is for the holdouts.

The feet draggers.

The nonconformists who made it through 2019 without joining the actual millions of people who bought air fryers during the peak of air fryer madness.

You were strong. Yes, we noticed. And we were impressed.

Because as dope as an air fryer can be, for some reason most of them seem like some sort of a glorified plastic coffee maker that would look about as classy on your countertop as a novelty singing fish would look on the wall of your living room. (Wondering about what year was peak singing fish year? It was 2000. Sold more than $100 million worth. More than Tickle Me Elmo and people used to fight literal children for those stupid things.)

But, no. Not you.

You’re an adult.

Except being an adult shouldn’t have to mean choosing between air-fried buffalo chicken wings in a Cool Ranch Doritos sauce and having a kitchen that looks more respectable than the anniversary edition of the George Foreman Grill.

It turns out you can have both.

Check this thing out.

Picture your least favorite reality TV personality, one of the ones with the sassy attitude and incredibly expensive house. You still have to admit that their kitchen is nice as hell, yeah? Now tell us that this bad boy would look out of place behind a real housewife of wherever or a Kardashian or one of those Selling Sunset places.

It totally would.

Only this isn’t some sort of a fashionable high-end something-or-other designed exclusively for baking artisanal sourdough bread from a starter kit sold on Goop.com. It’s an air fryer. And a toaster oven! Two genuinely practical, wonderfully handy kitchen appliances rolled into one and somehow put together in a way that makes the combination unexpectedly beautiful and respectable.

Pretty amazing.

It doesn’t cost zero, but it’s still a hell of a deal, especially for something with such a premium look and feel that you’re going to be stoked to use every time.

Save us some of those Doritos wings, though.

They sound legit.
