While most air fryers will cook corn on the cob, it’s rarely browned along its length – usually just at either end. The Aerogrill did a much more even job thanks to its grill function, although even with regular turning the corn was a little overdone on the recommended Max setting.

Including roast, dehydrate and bake settings, cook with little to no oil to make wonderful roasts and delicious sweet treats in minutes. With its five different settings that enable you to grill, bake, roast, air fry and dehydrate, it's an air fryer with a difference. We reviewed each one to see how the fryer fared… We decided to try air frying roast potato wedges; we simply sliced up our spuds before popping them in the fryer and pressing the correct setting. Using the included booklet for the times made it super easy. Grilling foods has always been a healthier alternative to frying as it uses less oil and melts the fat from meat.

Is air frying good for you?

We found the unboxing and setting up of the Aero Grill a simple and easy process and although the machine doesn’t take up a lot of space (much less than a small microwave) it is quite heavy and is best kept in one place rather than moving around. The costs for delivery, installation services and monthly insurance products cannot be placed on BNPL. Originating as a family business and now the UK's oldest housewares brand, Salter is as trusted today as it always has been. In practice, the Salter Aerogrill seems to live up to its promise as a versatile cooking device. I prepared a range of foods, from halloumi kebabs, burgers and sausages, through to frozen chips and hash browns. The results were generally very good, and in some cases exceptional. Lastly, it’s worth thinking about clean-up – most of the fryers on our list have dishwasher-proof baskets and accessories, while the two oven air fryers we’ve featured have removable doors to help you keep your machine as clean as possible.

Before we get to all the wonderful food that we cooked in the AeroGrill, a word about reading the instructions first. I am the world's worst person for being in a hurry. I wrongly assumed that using the AeroGrill would be the same as using an air fryer in that it would get hot relatively instantly. No. The AeroGrill is more like an oven in that it needs to preheat first. I know this, because after a very confusing attempt to roast Mediterranean vegetables, I realised that I needed to take five minutes to read the instruction booklet. I wish I'd read the instructions first... and save my partner saying, "I told you so".All-in-all, this air fryer was easy to set up and use and provided crispy food with that fried, crunchy texture we all crave. For extra versatility, it's good to know that it's safe to use Pyrex cookware and silicone bakeware in the Aerogrill. For cauliflower cheese, I set the AeroGrill to medium, 170 degrees and heated my dish for 10 minutes. I wanted to see if the cheese would bake on top. However, many of the traditionally deep-fried foods you would put in an air fryer are not the healthiest options so you should consider what you’re choosing to eat and ensure it’s part of a balanced diet with plenty of nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables. Where to buy an air fryer So simply insert food and it will automatically cook without having to lift a finger. It even alerts you on completion.
