While air fryers have been the star of kitchens everywhere, some people are now swapping them out for something else entirely.
A lot of kitchen gadgets come and go, often just trendy for a while before they’re replaced by the next new thing.
Think about it—how many of those older gadgets from years back are still around today? It’s just how these trends go.
The air fryer became incredibly popular because it promised to cook food faster than an oven and healthier than traditional frying.
Leaving aside the fact that if you’re indulging in something not-so-healthy, you might as well enjoy it, the devices gained a lot of popularity quickly.
But now, it seems there’s some competition for the air fryer’s throne, thanks to a new contender in the form of the Halogen Oven.
This appliance uses a halogen lightbulb to heat food in a glass bowl below, making it an interesting alternative.
The device is typically designed with an outer basket to keep you safe from burns, and then there’s the glass bowl.
At the top sits the halogen bulb, which heats up to cook the food below.
These devices are being promoted as a budget-friendly alternative to air fryers.
While air fryers have become a go-to choice, the more advanced models can start to get expensive, which can make them seem less of a budget buy.
One user shared: “I treated myself to a halogen oven to help with Christmas; I only have one shelf in my oven.
“It is one million times better than the rubbish air fryer I got in the summer.”
Of course, there’s always the option of sticking to the oven that came with your kitchen if you prefer a tried and true method.
