'We love our air fryer so much we even take it on holiday with us - it's so smart'

Air fryers began taking the world by storm last year after energy prices skyrocketed and it became necessary for many families to find ways of cooking meals that didn't guzzle electricity or gas like a standard oven would.

And now, one couple has said they've become so attached to their air fryer that they take it everywhere with them - including to hotels when they go on holiday.

One woman, named Jill, regularly shares life updates with her 1.3 million followers on TikTok, and in one video, she explained that she and her husband Brandon were staying overnight in a hotel, and chose to take their air fryer with them so they could heat up some food in their room.

Jill, from the US, said in the clip on her @jill200016 account: "You want to know how much me and Brandon love to eat? Look what we brought with us to stay in a hotel for one night.

"We only brought our air fryer from home so we can air fryer our mac and cheese balls from The Cheesecake Factory."

Commenters on the video were quick to point out that the couple's decision was actually "so smart", as the portability of the air fryer makes it a great appliance to stick in your boot when you're travelling and staying in a hotel overnight.

Most hotel rooms don't come with kitchens, and the standard kettle is only really good for a Pot Noodle or some porridge, so bringing the air fryer means you can cook yourself a decent meal without having to spend a fortune in the hotel restaurant or on a takeaway.

One person said: "This is SMART!!"

While another added: "Never thought about this, but it's genius!"

And a third said: "I respect this so much."

Meanwhile, we recently shared how one chef created a homemade version of a McDonald's McChicken in the air fryer - and it has less than 200 calories in it.

Calvin Kang posted a video to Instagram in which he claimed to have created the perfect dupe for the famous McDonald's chicken burger which came in at just 196 calories and took minutes to make, as the burgers could be cooked in the air fryer in just 10 minutes.

In the caption, he explained: "When I was a weight loss chef for 2 families, one of my former clients used to love McChickens so this recipe was developed for her so she could reach her fitness goals and eat healthier. Healthier McChicken."
