Authorities have today confirmed a local boyfriend’s worst fears, after his precious air fryer was recovered just outside Betoota Ponds.
It had mysteriously vanished in the lead up to his girlfriend’s fancy dinner party early this week.
Initially his partner Lucy Turner had denied having any involvement with the disappearance of the air fryer, suggesting that her boyfriend ‘probably just misplaced it after whipping up some air fried chicken tenders.’
However, boyfriend Aaron Thomson says he was suspicious from the beginning.
“She’s never liked my air fryer, ever since we moved in together,” he said.
“She has despised the beautiful black box every stop of the way. I’ve tried to tell her that it’s far superior to the archaic oven, if we had it my way, we’d get rid of the oven all together.”
Speaking about the scandal, Turner said she had long talked of the desire to host a fancy dinner party and finally bit the bullet by sending out invitations to the girlies, and by extension their boyfriends.
“I thought it would be really nice, everyone would bring a little dish, and I could finally make this Ottolenghi eggplant thing,” she said.
“The girls would get around it and the boys would attend as an opportunity to get pissed,” said Turner.
“But then Aaron started talking about what he was going to cook, I assured him that it really wouldn’t be necessary, but he just kept looking at air fryer recipes on reels.”
Thomson described his attitude in the days leading up to the dinner.
“I was super keen to show off my air fryer skills, and to show Lucy and her dinner guest that the air fryer was capable of everything the oven could do, no longer would the air fryer live in the shadow of the oven. But before I could do anything it had vanished.”
The geolocation of the Airfryer now has Aaron demanding a newer big model be brought into the kitchen.
More to come.
