A COUPLE have announced that their relationship now involves a third party: their air fryer.  

Michelle and Paul, not their real names, admitted that ever since the 7.6 litre, dual zone Ninja Air fryer entered their lives just before Christmas, they have grown to love it as much as they love each other. 

Paul said: “I love Michelle, but the air fryer satisfies me in ways she can’t. She can’t make crispy chicken wings, perfect every time, with barely any oil. She’d admit that herself.” 

Michelle agreed: “The heart works in mysterious ways. After a long conversation about how all its parts are dishwasher-safe, we held hands and said ‘It’s time.’ We have invited a third into our happiness. 

“The air fryer is on the wifi, has its own profile on Netflix, we’re adding it to the joint account and I’ve crocheted it a little cosy. I love watching it on the monitor at night. Knowing it’s safe and can cook a lasagne in 18 minutes.” 

Friend Lewis, not his real name, said: “Yeah. I remember the evening they formally invited me round to meet their George Foreman grill.”
