Basket style with heating elements: tall, slim air-fryers feature a main unit with heating elements and fans. These have slide-out baskets or trays that slot into place inside. As they tend to have a smaller cooking area than oven-style fryers, in testing we found even results were more likely if the cooking was paused occasionally to rearrange or toss the food around. Some fryers will cut out automatically when you do this, some will need to be paused if you want accurate timings. Moreover, the air fryer is equipped with a removable basket and grid so you can lift your food and let any excess oil fall to the bottom of the bowel. The sleek and user-friendly interface, along with a wide range of temperature settings and convenient cooking presets, make it a versatile and easy-to-use appliance. You'll be impressed by the sleek and sturdy design of the Hairy Bikers air fryer. It's a reliable and stylish addition to your kitchen. The ergonomic design ensures that it's easy to use, with well-placed buttons and a user-friendly interface. Mini oven’ types: these models use convection or fan technology to cook food on flat, slide-in trays. As well as roasting, their extra air-frying functions circulate hot air around the food for more efficient crisping. These took up the space of an average-sized microwave. Some may also include rotisserie elements.

Don’t put too much food in the basket – your food can turn out soggy if you overload the basket with ingredients. Instead, cook in small batches or buy a bigger air fryer to ensure a delicious crisp with every use. Still wondering what all the fuss is about? Whether you’re a converted air fryer enthusiast or need some more convincing, be sure to tune into Air Fryers: Are They Worth It?on Friday 23 June at 8pm on Channel 4 HD (CH 104/108). The warranty period for the Hairy Bikers Air Fryer is not mentioned. However, this versatile appliance can be used for baking, making it a great addition to your kitchen for all your cooking needs. Does the air fryer have any safety features such as an automatic shut-off or overheat protection?

The rest of the design is suitably functional. There are hand-hold recesses in the base to move it around the kitchen, a sliding plastic cover to prevent the basket-release button being accidentally pressed (a more practical solution to the potentially flimsy flip-up covers on similar models) and a guide to cooking times and temperatures for different foods on its metal fascia. Two lights show you when it’s on and when the heating element is working. Another big plus is a free three-year guarantee when it’s registered online, which gives more peace of mind than the standard year offered by comparable manufacturers. Preheat the air fryer before loading the food – unless your air fryer has a preheating setting, you should let the air fryer run for a couple of minutes without food inside. This can help prevent overcooking.

Impeccable Texture: With its advanced air circulation technology, the fryer ensures even cooking, resulting in crispy exteriors and tender interiors. It achieves this without the need for excessive oil, making it a healthier alternative.
