‘Bro, I cooked it in a bloody airfryer’: is the unofficial appliance of lockdown just a tiny oven?

Used to cook everything from racks of lamb to gummy worms, airfryers are a social media sensation - but food professionals are split on their utility

When the Sydney chef Dan Hong posted a video to his 104,000 Instagram followers of a lamb rack emerging from his home airfryer, its fat aureate and twinkling, the caption had a caveat: Edit," it read, please don't take this too seriously guys. It's a lamb rack cooked in the air fryer "

Some people were commenting it's undercooked' or this or that you should've rendered the fat a bit more and it's like, bro, I cooked it in a bloody airfryer," Hong says.
