In Italy, air fryers have evolved from niche kitchen gadgets into common household appliances. While their use was initially limited to frozen foods and crispy items, they are now being utilized for a wide variety of dishes, including appetizers, main courses, leavened doughs, and desserts.

Content creator Lorita Russo, through her project ‘Friggi ad aria con Lorita’, has documented this shift by testing various ingredients and cooking methods to demonstrate that the appliance is a versatile preparation tool rather than just a device for making crunchy foods.
