It's rare my jaw drops when I find an item and am like, WHAT THE WHAT?! I have a lot of SMEG in my apartment. I don't have this, I'm ordering his immediately and throwing away my other air flyer, especially because this is on sale. The fact that I am always also looking for a way to steam things! this is perfect.
