Had an air fryer for 3 years and only used it for frozen fries until last month

My neighbor brought over some chicken thighs she did in hers with just salt and pepper and they came out perfect, so now I actually preheat and use mine for real meals. Anyone else have a moment where you realized you were missing out on what your air fryer could do?

Did you really not try anything besides fries for three whole years though? I mean, that's kind of on you for not experimenting sooner. I've had mine for about two years and I use it for everything from vegetables to reheating pizza to making those little personal frittatas. It's not exactly a hidden secret that air fryers can do more than frozen stuff, most recipes online show you that pretty quick. But hey, glad you finally caught on, even if it took your neighbor showing you. Maybe next time just try something random yourself instead of waiting for a demo.

Funny thing is I actually read somewhere that most people only use their air fryer for like 3 or 4 things max. So shes probably not alone even if it sounds dumb. Some people just get stuck in a routine and dont think to look stuff up. I saw a post on reddit once where a guy said he used his for chicken nuggets for two years straight and never tried anything else. So it happens more than youd think.
