Brownies in an Air Fryer? America, What Are You Doing?
In an epic patriotic quest for the perfect brownie, Meredith Schneider bravely tested oven, air fryer, and microwave baking.

The air fryer gave 'gooey insides' but a shell-like top, while the microwave was the fastest but mostly 'inedible' as it hardened quickly. Using boxed Betty Crocker mix, Meredith concluded, 'I'll continue to play with the air fryer,' but the tried-and-true oven reigns supreme for consistent, delicious brownie freedom.
