Air fryers are all the rage these days, and it isn't difficult to see why. They're easy to use and can make quick meals without too much hassle.
For a home appliance that makes so many different meals, you can find air fryers in Malaysia for just under RM200.
If you're considering getting an air fryer or already own one, here's a list of things you can make and how:
1. Chocolate chip cookies
No oven? Don't worry. An air fryer can achieve the same if not better results when making cookies. The best part is you can make them in smaller batches and freeze any leftover dough for a week - for whenever you're craving something sweet!
