How are they “overrated”. You can literally find info in seconds what would have taken you a month pouring over Wisdens in your local library or writing in to your local council for the current regs.

Definitely agree with Dominoes. Nearly £20 for a pizza but the ones in Asda are genuinely tastier

I think airfryers are overrated
