My cousin has an air fryer. I dont mind using it but it's so small I cant use it for very much. Just for heating up stuff.


Sidenote: I notice alot of people serve their food on paper or styrofoam plates not just here but on other boards as well. Why is that?
No dishes to clean.

No adult male/female should be eating off paper plates ,unless they're at a cookout.It throws the whole presentation of the meal off serving it on paper plates .A decent plate set is $40.00 at Walmart..For those talking about having to clean dirty dishes.What apartment/house doesn't have a built-in dishwasher now a days?

My house has a dishwasher, but it's a space filler, they make dishwashers just to fill spaces

You eat with your eyes before you taste the food, I wouldn't want to present my food to anyone on a paper plate. I have all kinds of presentation boards, serving platters and ramekins, it makes a person feel special when you present food to them a certain kind of way. I once served someone an individual portion of mac and cheese cooked in a ramekin, he was so impressed by something that was just my normal every day. It shows you take pride in what you're doing.

If you're talking about with guests, sure use actual plates.

But I live alone and don't normally have guests so I do paper plates.

I get what you're saying. But I just use a normal plate if I'm going to have to wash all the pots and pans; what's one more? I'm not gonna treat other people in a way that I dont treat myself is my thinking. Also a big deciding factor is me taking pics for instagram, so it's going to be presented in a certain way.

Some people's mind sets are messed up They would rather get some paper plates instead of getting some dish soap and just washing out a plate.
