Air fryers have become a national obsession - it’s time to move on from these mini ovens.

It used to be just a kettle and a toaster. Then came the microwave. Then, the coffee machine. Now, kitchens are overrun with appliances - many homes boast an air fryer the size of a small car.

They’ve gone from niche to must-have gadgets, with shelves in every major supermarket stacked high.

Around five years ago, they started popping up. At first, I was curious. The more I saw, the more horrified I became - nobody seems to keep their air fryers clean.

Open those drawers and all you see is filth........
