Celebrity TV chef James Martin made headlines for taking a strong stance against air fryers during a cooking demonstration at the BBC Good Food Show Winter in Birmingham. The 50-year-old chef shocked fans by declaring that air fryers should be banned and announcing a personal rule to avoid speaking to anyone who uses them. He emphasized his belief that certain dishes, such as fried chicken and turkeys, should not be prepared in air fryers, expressing disdain for the appliance’s ability to replicate the flavor and texture achieved through traditional deep frying methods.
In addition to his disapproval of air fryers, Martin also shared his unpopular opinion on the traditional Christmas dish of turkey, describing it as tasteless and unappealing. He humorously suggested purchasing beef instead, dismissing the idea of attempting to make turkey more interesting with stuffing.
During the show, Martin demonstrated his culinary skills by preparing a homemade alternative to KFC’s fried chicken, referring to it as “JFC,” and revealed a unique twist for enhancing the flavor of a steak - a trick shown to him by renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. His bold and unapologetic viewpoints left the audience surprised and entertained, further solidifying his reputation as a charismatic and outspoken personality in the culinary world.
