A woman sparked outrage online after using her air fryer to make tea with chips, leaving people shocked by her method.
A woman has created a stir after using her air fryer to make a cup of tea.
Whitney Ainscough, a mother from Rotherham, shared her unusual method on TikTok.
The video quickly caught the attention of viewers, leading to a mix of shock and outrage.
Woman leaves people mind-blown after using air fryer to make cup of tea
In the video, Whitney demonstrated how to brew tea using an air fryer.
‘So you get your tea bag. Get some cold water, and a bit of sugar in there,’ she said whilst splashing water into the mug.
She explained that all you need is a mug, a tea bag, and cold water.
She placed the tea bag in the mug, added sugar, and filled it with water.
After setting the timer to six minutes, she casually checked on her tea while a few chips remained in the fryer from a previous meal.
‘So that’s cooking. So as you can tell the color is starting to come out,’ she added.
Many viewers found this method shocking.
In the UK, making tea is a serious tradition, and many people are passionate about how it should be done.
The common practice is to use a kettle, which boils water quickly and efficiently.
However, Whitney’s method of using an air fryer was seen as unconventional and even ridiculous by some.
Comments on her video ranged from disbelief to anger.
Maybe instead of doing half a braincell activities such as this you should clean last week’s dinner out the airfryer, one user said.
Can I buy you a kettle, the second user wrote.
How dare you make it in an air fryer? That is actually diabolical, the third user commented.
They invented a kettle for a good reason, another user said.
Whitney’s response to her unusual method
Whitney defended her method, emphasizing that she was just trying something new.
She noted that her tea turned out great and she enjoyed it.
In her follow-up videos, she continued to share her cooking experiments, but the tea-making clip remained the most talked about.
Experts warn air fryers aren’t meant for liquids.
Experts have chimed in on the debate, pointing out that air fryers are not designed for boiling liquids.
Heating water in an air fryer can cause steam, which might damage the appliance.
They recommend using a kettle for boiling water instead.
This advice adds another layer to the discussion, as it raises concerns about the safety and effectiveness of Whitney’s tea-making method.
