**Are You Overusing Your Air Fryer? Here’s What Experts Say**

Air fryers have become a kitchen favorite for quick, crispy meals with less oil—but they’re not perfect for everything.

**What *not* to cook in an air fryer:**

* **Popcorn:** Can fly into the heating element and cause fires.
* **Wet-battered foods:** Like fried chicken—ends up soggy.
* **Cheese, leafy greens, rice, and pasta:** These either melt messily, burn, or won’t cook properly.

**Energy warning:**
Experts like Martin Lewis note that while air fryers save energy for small portions, using them for multiple rounds can be less efficient than a regular oven—especially for big meals or batch cooking.

**Best time to use an air fryer:**

* Small meals or snacks
* Quick, crispy results
* Reheating leftovers

**Stick to the oven when:**

* Cooking large meals
* Using wet batters or baking
* Batch cooking

**Bottom line:** Air fryers are great—just not for everything. Use them smartly, and don’t throw out your oven just yet.
