**Told Her Three Times Not to Forget the Sandwich in the Air Fryer**
What happened was that I had a very important Zoom call scheduled, and my partner insisted on making herself a fancy grilled cheese sandwich in the air fryer. I reminded her three times, with an exaggerated flair, not to forget about it—I could already smell the impending disaster. The call was going smoothly until I heard the unmistakable sound of electric warfare from the kitchen. I glanced over, only to see smoke billowing from the air fryer like it was auditioning for a role in a disaster movie.
Why it’s funny is that while I was trying to keep my cool during the meeting, my partner rushed in like a fire marshal—hair all frizzed from the heat, eyes wide with realization, and waving a spatula as if it were a white flag. The remaining “sandwich” looked more like a piece of charcoal trying to escape a bad relationship. My colleagues watched in amusement as I struggled to stifle my laughter while explaining that my “potential lunch” had turned into a “potential safety hazard.” Who knew a grilled cheese could cause so much chaos?

At first i thought it was a delicious brownie with fudge in the middle.
C
I too thought, what a delicious looking brow… oh god!!
M
I thought it was chocolate cake.
N
Can I have another piece of.. oh dear never mind
S
Same def thought it was the Matilda cake 😂😂
S
Yeah for a moment I thought mmm, chocolate cake… oh no. No, no, no…
G
Say goodbye to your lunch, it’s history! Worse than that, it’s toast!
S

J
Same lol
F
Not all brown things are chocolatey.
C
Yes, some are quite shitty.
J
Then I looked harder and thought it was toasted owl-s’more
N
They have timers on those things
D
Usually it turns off when it finishes. Either this is fake or she really fucked up.
A
my roommate just turns on the airfryer and keeps the default settings. 450 for 25 mins.
E
I dont understand how people can be that lazy. Its really not that much effort to adjust the timer.
D
It really isn’t. If you know the point when it burns, well that’s on the user who set it
S
Such noisy beeping. I turn it on, hit the preset button three times to get it to chicken mode (full heat, 25 minutes) and hit start. 5 beeps, manually setting the same would be something like 29

lol. That’s a funny reason. I expect there is some less noisy? Of course that means buying a new one. My microwave for example has a silent mode for example, no noise on buttons and no noise when it finishes. Plus an eco mode which has lower brightness lights and auto shutdowns screen or even can manually shut it down even the lighs if you want to leave the door open for ventilation.
S
Omg, how I wish I had that microwave. I hate the beeps, and if god forbid you dont open microwave at its first beeping once finished; the damn thing keeps beeping every few minutes. I am like calm the f down, stop being a needy guy. I hate it to the core.
L
Did you know you can put most microwaves on mute or silent mode? If you look in the book that came with it, or look up your model number, there’s usually a way to turn the beeping off. My previous microwave wanted you to press and hold the 0 button for like 5 seconds. My newest one wanted you to press and hold stop for the five seconds. It was seriously a godsend when my partner and I worked opposite shifts and we wanted to reheat food for ourselves without being loud.
S
Am gonna check this. I had no idea at all. Thanks for the reply and detailed info 😀
X
> the damn thing keeps beeping every few minutes I miss that, a lot of times we do some appetizers on weekends, and sometimes something needs to be heat up and once every some weeks we forget something in the microwave, and then we find or remember it later during or after the lunch🤣 With the old one it would beep from time to time to remind you there is something inside.I really miss that.
S
Different strokes for different folks 😅
E
Ours had different buttons for some pre-made times and heats. Re-heat 5 min 180C was most used 😀
L
I can see my fellow ADHDers here. I would not do that because I am really cruel to myself when I fuck up, which is already way too often, so I mitigate my natural state of existence as much as possible with alarms, calendars, schedules, routines, charts and checklists, etc. But my people without all the tormented mental baggage tend to fly by the seats of their pants. I love that for them and their burnt sandwiches
E
Literally if you’re worried just do a test run of like 10 mins at 350-400 and that should give you an idea of how much longer / it’s done. Gambling with the cook time on an air fryer is pretty bad.
S
Is it even gambling when a quick search would tell you how long to cook it, is it the best way to cook it, and what it pairs with while you get the ingredients out of the fridge?
M
Yea but if you are that worried about someone forgetting to take out the sandwich you would set the time
S
Might want to buy some renter’s insurance if you don’t have it, that seems like a potential fire hazard.
A
I can change the default on mine. It’s Cosori brand. Just set the time and temp you want to be the new default, then press and hold the mode button “e.g. Air Fry” until it beeps.
F
Mine defaults to 350 for 15 and I just hit go every time
A
Mine automatically sets itself for 20 minutes when I turn it on, which would definitely make a sandwich look like this. Most of the time, I just turn it on and hit start because it’s easier, then just periodically check on it.
T
Also, was he legally not allowed to stop it himself, or something?
D
Maybe he can’t touch it? I don’t know, we don’t have the full story
S
In the shower maybe? or otherwise occupied while she wasn’t?
S
TBF, those things still retain heat. I left some fries in after it was done, I checked and they were normal brown. I put something in the microwave for a minute and a half (I can’t have both running, it pops the breaker) and didn’t vent my air frier and when I went to put my fries on my plate they were burnt.
1
Yeah it turns off but it not like it’s room temperature again instantly. Takes a good 15 mins or so to cool down and that’s after you opened the door and let some of the heat out.
S
I can’t run the microwave and air frier at the same time so when the air frier is done I pull the basket out a little to vent and then use the microwave. I didn’t do that once and the fries I had in got too brown in between me checking that they were done and finishing microwaving
C
Mine does as well, but it’s still hot in there for a long time afterwords. Leaving things in there for a few minutes still adds quite a lot of heat energy.
F
Oh mine is quite the opposite, the heat releases so fast after it turns off. They probably have one like you that retains heat.
B
There are some unhinged individuals out there that just crank the timer to the max and then periodically check on it, turning it off manually when satisfied. Sometimes these psychos get distracted, and sometimes things burn.
V
I’ve had several, they all had timers. Probably because you’d burn your house down if they didn’t
U
The older ones don’t.
S
The older ones (even before 2010 and all) just had a knob you could turn. Such a better design than the idiot that came up with preset programs.
H
Sets air fryer for 380’degrees and hmmmm 1 hr should toast this nicely
U
Crunchy
T
TIL people air fry sandwiches
C
TIL you can forget stuff in the air fryer. Doesn’t it have a timer?
L
It sure does have a timer. Apparently he decided to set it to 1day and asked her to be the timer
