The one food you might not want to cook in the air fryer

We seem to love our air fryers these days, but it may not be a match made in heaven with one particular food: popcorn. 

Consumer journalist Grace Forell says most air fryers won’t get hot enough for popcorn anymore. And even worse, the kernels can get lodged in the heating element and cause a fire hazard.

Her recommendation? Stick with the microwave. 

Other foods that are bad news in the air fryer, allegedly? Broccoli, pasta, wet batter and rice.
