Two months ago I burned popcorn in the microwave, now I use the air fryer for everything

Swapped my microwave popcorn routine for air fryer kernels at 400 for 8 minutes and it's night and day, no more burnt bag smell in the whole kitchen. My wife even said the texture is way better than the bag stuff. Anyone tried doing nuts or seeds the same way or should I keep it simple?

That part about the burnt bag smell really hit home. I had the same problem for years, and it got so bad one time that we had to open every window in the house for a whole weekend. My wife finally banned microwave popcorn altogether, which was rough because we used to watch movies every Friday night with a big bowl. Now I do the air fryer thing too, but I've gone a little further and started doing raw almonds with a tiny bit of salt and oil. They come out so crunchy that my dentist actually asked me what changed because I was chewing louder in the waiting room. So yeah, definitely try the nuts, just keep an eye on them around the six minute mark because they go from perfect to scorched real fast.
