It is one of the most genuinely difficult kitchen appliance decisions an Indian household faces. You have space for one — maybe two — countertop cooking appliances beyond your stovetop and pressure cooker, and the market offers three competing options that each promise to transform your cooking in different ways. The OTG bakes and grills. The microwave reheats and cooks quickly. The air fryer crisps and fries with less oil. Each one has passionate advocates who cannot imagine cooking without it. Each one has disappointed buyers who barely use it six months after purchase.
