Summary

One of the questions we get asked most is whether busy home cooks need an air fryer? We're revisiting episode 96, where we talk with air fryer aficionado Jess Dang about whether the air fryer is for certain cooks only, or all of them, and how anyone can optimize their air fryer for easier meals all day long. Plus, we followed up with Jess three years later to see if her thoughts on her air fryer have changed.
