For French Fry Day and everything in between.
Something about the rain pulls your spirit straight to the kitchen.
Not for cooking. For wishing.
Looking through Instagram, the change of weather can suddenly trigger the brain to think “fries”.
Golden crunchy fries which can either be cheese-loaded, peri-peri spiced, or masala tossed. But always served piping hot and served at that moment.
The twist here is though: crunchy fries are just reinforcing the notion of more sweat in an already humid kitchen where deep frying will build on that feeling.
The thought of taking “Workout Out” fries will only increase the craving or settle to soggy delivery.
That is outdated, now my microwave French fries are a thing.
Not just any microwave, an air fryer built into a microwave that understands your mood and crushes what you are dreaming off.
Why French Fries Just Hit Different When It’s Raining
Some things don’t need logic. They just are.
French fries on a rainy day are one of those things.
Like chai. Like pakoras. Like curling up with a blanket and a movie. The craving isn’t about hunger. It’s about comfort. Warmth. Familiarity. Something salty that fights the cold in the air.
And in most Indian homes, French fries have made their way to the top of that comfort list.
But here’s the issue: the way we usually make them doesn’t suit our rainy-day realities.
- Too much oil
- Too much mess
- Too much post-cooking cleanup
Which is why so many of us just don’t bother anymore.
Or worse, we turn to packet fries from food delivery apps, which show up limp, cold, and disappointing.
So the real question isn’t what you’re craving. It’s how you can satisfy it without hating the process.
And this is where the microwave steps into the spotlight.
Wait, Can a Microwave Really Fry?
If you’re thinking about the old-school microwave that just reheats your roti or softens butter, then yes, this sounds impossible.
But the 30L Convection Microwave is not that kind of microwave.
This one comes with an in-built air fryer. That means it uses hot air, circulated rapidly, to crisp up your food from all sides. No oil needed. No preheating stress. No greasy aftermath.
Just proper golden crisp.
This is not just about warming up food. This is a real game changer in your rainy-day kitchen story.
What Makes It Perfect for French Fry Day?
Alright, let’s zoom in a bit.
If today is French Fry Day (or even if it isn’t), here’s what this microwave does that makes it stand out:
1. It Has 36 Dedicated Air Fry Menus
Yes, 36. Fries aren’t the only heroes here. You’ve got sweet potato wedges, aloo bhujia, onion rings, cheese nuggets, even banana chips.
Pick a menu. Hit a button. Done.
No guessing game. No trial and error.
2. Zero-Oil, Zero-Guilt, 100 Percent Taste
Traditional frying soaks your food in oil. That’s just how it works. But with air frying, the same outer crispiness is achieved with hot circulating air.
That means:
- Less calories
- No oil splatters
- No lingering kitchen smells
Basically, all the pleasure, none of the pain.
3. Built for the Indian Kitchen
Haier knows Indian kitchens don’t want one-trick gadgets.
So this microwave isn’t just an air fryer. It’s also a rotisserie grill, a convection oven, and a regular microwave all rolled into one clean-looking machine.
It comes with:
- An air fry tray
- A crispy plate
- Rotisserie rod and handle
- High rack
- Turntable and ring
Everything you need to cook like a pro, without buying extra accessories.
What Happens When You Actually Use It?
Let’s walk through a real-life moment.
You’re home on a rainy Friday evening. Everyone’s tired, the roads are messy, and the power just came back after a 10-minute flicker.
You don’t want to stand near the stove. You don’t want to order food that’ll take 40 minutes to arrive. You just want something warm and salty to snack on while watching a match or a movie.
So here’s what you do:
- Pull out a pack of frozen fries (or slice your own potatoes if you’re feeling fancy)
- Toss them in the air fry tray
- Select the fries option from the auto menu
- Press start
- Walk away
By the time your Netflix intro ends, your fries are ready. They’re hot, crunchy, and healthier than anything deep-fried. No oil. No stress. No compromise.
And if you want to be extra, throw on some chaat masala, grated cheese, or peri-peri powder. No judgment here.
But Is It Only for Fries?
Not at all. That’s just your gateway dish.
Once you start, you’ll unlock a whole world of monsoon treats.
- Tandoori Paneer Skewers on the rotisserie
- Crispy Kurkuri Bhindi that your mom swears takes 45 minutes to make
- Roasted peanuts or makhana for your chai break
