A famished Brit never travels anywhere without his trusty air fryer in tow. Jamie, hailing from Manchester, is a chap who cherishes his home comforts, reports MirrorOnline.
So devoted is he to his creature comforts that wherever his travels take him, he ensures his beloved kitchen gadget accompanies him on every journey. “My air fryer is an absolute essential part of my travels, and I struggle to go away without it,” the 28-year-old revealed. “From France and Italy to the USA, and from plane to train, my air fryer has come with me everywhere to ensure I’m never far from a healthy, convenient meal.
“It’s such a hack for me when going on holiday that I’ve even unpacked and repacked my entire car before a trip to ensure I had space to fit my air fryer in.”
Fresh research shared how British holidaymakers are placing greater importance on packing their air fryer than clothes or personal care items – with a quarter of millennials admitting they would fork out additional luggage charges simply to bring it along.
This emerges as air fryer owners have been advised to ensure their devices are thoroughly sanitised. For one in five Brits, air fryer availability directly impacts their accommodation choices, with one in seven stating they would deliberately shun lodgings lacking one.
More than a quarter of those surveyed revealed they would transport their air fryer on holiday if a simpler method of carrying it existed. Fortunately for those air fryer obsessed survey participants, electrical retailer AO has just launched the Frequent Fryer suitcase: a pioneering case specially constructed to accommodate and proudly exhibit a single-drawer air fryer.
Featuring a see-through front panel, the case is particularly engineered so air fryer devoted Brits can demonstrate their Frequent Fryer credentials with confidence.
The luggage complies with airport baggage restrictions, meaning perfecting patatas bravas in Barcelona, mastering pommes frites in Paris and warming up a hot dog in the US has become considerably simpler.
Isabella Forgione, small appliance specialist at AO, commented: “We know how important home comforts are to our customers and for many, the air fryer tops the list. The Frequent Fryer Case is a fun but functional response to a growing trend, making it easier than ever to take a much-loved appliance on holiday.”
A Frequent Fryer case will be released at 12pm on Tuesday, August on AO’s TikTok shop, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to secure the ultimate travel accessory – but they’ll need to move quickly to obtain the initial version.
Air fryers aren’t the only peculiar item that Brits transport on holiday with them. A separate survey revealed one in 20 Brits have confessed to bringing an oven tray, toaster or kettle on holiday.
Home luxuries are evidently a significant priority, with 47% of people stating they’ve packed food and drink that can’t be bought at their destination – think tea bags, baked beans and crisps to name a few.
