COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful answers

Can an air fryer replace a microwave or oven?

It handles many crisping, roasting, baking and reheating jobs, but it does not perform every function of a microwave or full oven.

Which appliance is most useful for a hostel?

Rules permitting, an electric kettle or induction cooktop is often the most versatile. Always follow accommodation and electrical-safety policies.
