A MUM-OF-FOUR has found herself labelled “vile” and “filthy” after sharing the reality of using an air fryer to cook for her ever-growing family.
Nicole Austin is no stranger to incurring the wrath of online trolls with regular videos documenting her life as a pregnant mum living in a council house.
But she found herself accused of deliberately rage-baiting people online with her most recent video, in which she showed just what it looks like inside her fryer.
“When I opened my air fryer to cook my children’s dinner today, I simply couldn’t believe my eyes,” Nicole said in her TikTok video.
“There was absolutely no way I could cook their dinner in this air fryer… I can’t even tell you the last time it’s been cleaned.”
She added that with her air fryer and microwave, it’s a case of “out of sight, out of mind”, and when they’re not used often, they get “neglected”.

“I use my oven a lot more than I use my air fryer, so I really didn’t notice it get in this mess,” she sighed.
“Look at all that fat, grease, grime, and chips… ew!”
She then turned her “cook my kids dinner” video into a “clean my air fryer” video instead, as she said: “This was a biohazard.
“I dread to think the deadly diseases my kids would have got if they ate from this air fryer.”
Nicole then showed herself cleaning the fryer, and even used a hoover to suck up all the food remnants.
“I’m getting really good at keeping on top of visible mess, but things that aren’t visible right in front of me, they get forgotten,” she added.
“And unfortunately, that’s what happened to this little old air fryer.”
“Anyone else struggle with cleaning things they don’t frequently use?” she added in the video caption.
But people in the comments section were less than impressed with Nicole’s video, with one writing: “You are vile, there are no excuses for not being clean especially when you have children.
“You should be ashamed of yourself. This nothing other than laziness.
“Vulgar.”
“This is such a fire hazard and just plain disgusting,” another shouted.
