Hit 100 air fryer meals today without even trying

Honestly, I just looked back at my recipe folder and realized I've cooked 100 different things in my air fryer since I got it last fall. Started with frozen fries like everyone else, then moved to chicken thighs and veggie mixes. I didn't plan to hit a milestone or anything, it just added up from trying new stuff every week. Has anyone else kept track of how many meals they've made in theirs?

Funny how that happens, right? You don't set out to make 100 air fryer meals, you just keep finding new stuff to throw in there. It’s like the whole "10000 hours to get good" thing but for kitchen gadgets. Air fryers just make cooking so easy you accidentally become a pro at it. I think it says something about how we’re all looking for ways to make life simpler without sacrificing good food. It’s a quiet shift in how people cook now, not a big announcement, just a bunch of small wins adding up.

Gotta disagree a bit here. I mean, hitting 100 meals without noticing kinda sounds like you just ate a lot of air fryer food, not that you became some kind of pro. Cooking 100 different recipes isn't the same as getting good at cooking. You could make 100 frozen pizzas in an oven and still burn toast. Quantity doesn't mean quality. I've made maybe 40 things in mine and half of them came out either too dry or not cooked through. Maybe it's just me but I don't think throwing stuff in a basket and pressing a button really counts as building skill.
