Air fryers are lovely kitchen gadgets that can tackle a variety of cooking needs, ranging from toasting a hearty bagel to roasting a whole chicken. But while they work wonders in the kitchen, they aren’t always the most aesthetically pleasing kitchen appliance, with bulky features and utilitarian designs that are often plain and boring.
