My air fryer just hit 1000 uses and I feel weird about it | Air Fryer Recipes

Honestly, I was cleaning it last night and saw the little usage counter I started on a notepad. I bought it exactly 18 months ago and have used it almost twice a day, every day. It really hit me how much I rely on this thing, from frozen fries to whole chicken breasts. Has anyone else tracked their uses and been surprised by the number?

That's a crazy amount of perfectly cooked food.

It's wild how a simple counter can show you what a workhorse a kitchen gadget has become. You start seeing it as this basic tool, but that number proves it's basically a core part of your daily routine. It makes you wonder what other small things we use constantly without even noticing. That kind of regular use is how you really get your money's worth out of anything you buy.

Remembered my old car had one of those trip counters. I reset it after an oil change once and forgot about it. A year later I saw it was past 20,000 miles, just from my normal driving to work and the store. It was a weird feeling, like seeing proof of all those boring little trips adding up to something huge. Kinda the same vibe as your air fryer log, just with more gas station stops lol.
