Showerthought: Ever since I burned sweet potato fries at my friend's housewarming party last summer, I check the air fryer every 5 minutes like it's a baby monitor

That smoke alarm went off right as they were doing the toast and nobody could hear a word, so now I either babysit the basket or set a separate timer on my phone because the built-in beep is too quiet, has anyone else had a close call ruining a gathering with their air fryer?

Honestly, who knew a kitchen gadget could cause that much anxiety. At this point I'm pretty sure my air fryer has seen more of me checking on it than my actual oven ever did. Glad to know it's not just me treating a basket of fries like a ticking time bomb.

Right there with you. I swear I open that thing every 30 seconds just to poke at the fries and make sure they're not secretly burning to a crisp. It's like we're all part of some nervous air fryer support group.
