How can you tell someone has an air fryer? Don’t worry, they’ll let you know right after saying 'hello'.
Once it's brought up in conversation, it feels like they're getting a commission for hyping up how useful their little cooking machine is.
As you can tell, I am still yet to buy one (but I am thinking about it).

Amid the surge in popularity in recent years, however, viewers have been left stunned after a woman has revealed what cooking inside an air fryer can actually look like.
Taking to TikTok, Ali from NYC has shared a video (@aligroholski) of her air fryer and it's gone viral.
She appears to be using a 'Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System', described as having 'the power of a full-size air fryer in the palm of your hand.'
It offers four functions: air fry, bake, max crisp, and re-crisp, including two glass containers—a 6-cup and a 4-quart.

The air fryer is designed for cooking, serving, and storing food, and the way it works is the PowerPod heats the contents by circulating hot air, ensuring even cooking.
"Simply snap the lightweight, handheld 1700-watt PowerPod onto one of the glass cooking containers to create family-size meals and personal portions with 4 cooking functions," the Ninja website reads.
Now, in her caption for the short clip, which has nearly five million views in a day, Ali said: "That was super invasive @Ninja Kitchen."
During the video, she puts in a tortilla wrap and the Ninja starts spinning it around like a Beyblade while cooking.
"Do you think that's supposed to turn like that?" a woman is heard saying as viewers were left in stitches.
"No way my food is just in the break dancing," one person commented, while another joked: "That means it’s at 360 degrees."

"That’s why my damn cheese never stays on," a third penned, as a fourth admitted: "Yea I caught my taco shells spinning one day lol"
Meanwhile, others were quick to point out that 'it’s a convection oven the heat moves around', and also that heavier items are less likely to spin around like that.
"Somehow I'm pretty sure my 1.5kg pork roast ain't spinning like a ballerina in mine," someone else said.
At the time of writing, the Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System is sold out on the Ninja UK website.
