Product Information

If buying an air fryer, however, make sure it’s big enough to feed your whole family. Having to do two lots of cooking will negate its time- and energy-saving benefits. You will also have to balance its capacity against storage: some can be quite big. That persuaded health-conscious 20-somethings that they were worth a look. But now there’s a second, even bigger boom in air fryer popularity and this time it’s not just millennials but parents and grandparents. This time, the killer app is money-saving.

Yes. “Air fryers require less oil compared to deep fat frying or pan frying and so help reduce the calorie content of the overall meal; it’s definitely a healthier way to cook whilst preserving taste and texture,” confirms nutritionist Jenna Hope. It’s also markedly less messy than regular frying. Is it safe to leave the air fryer unattended? While it is generally safe to leave the air fryer unattended during the cooking process, it is always recommended to exercise caution and be mindful of safety. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines. The controls are spelt out on the display, so you won’t need to refer to the instructions too much and there’s also a handy ‘keep warm’ mode. I like the convenient pre-set mode that makes it easy to blast the air fryer with heat for a few minutes before loading food. (Pre-heating is something all seasoned air fryer fans swear by for best results.)That’s why I like the Cuisinart. It just looks like an oven, with nothing scarier than four dials on the front. The first three select temperature, cooking time and cooking mode (air fry, bake, roast, grill or keep warm). With heating elements at the top and bottom, the Cuisinart can be used as a giant toaster. The fourth dial controls how brown you want your crumpets to be. It’s down to two factors: size and time. Air fryers are considerably smaller than conventional ovens. They generally range from around two to eight litres in volume (although models as large as 24 litres do exist). The less air there is, the less energy is required to heat it up. They almost always come with a basket or drawer to hold the food you’re cooking, a timer and pre-programmed settings for different foods. Depending on your budget, they’ll be controlled with either manual buttons or a touchscreen display. Can I use aluminum foil or parchment paper in the air fryer? Yes, you can use aluminum foil or parchment paper in the air fryer. However, it is recommended to keep the foil or paper away from the heating element to prevent any accidents or damage to the appliance.

I wasn’t expecting the cheapest model (by far) on this list to come out near the top of my testing, but the Tower Air Fryer is a budget powerhouse. It’s very easy to set up and clean, with a simple drawer design, and the end results were as good as those from air fryers three times the price. It heats up in seconds and cooked chips in 20 minutes, sausages and fish fingers in 12-15, and vegetables in just six. While the capacity is a lot lower than your standard air fryer, the basket is round and deep and can fit a surprising amount inside. It’s capable of cooking about 450g of chips, which is enough for two and I was impressed at how evenly it cooked a homemade batch in under 18 minutes – a simple shake mid-way through ensured the chips were evenly coated. Then there’s the convection technology, which ensures the heat and vapourised oil is very evenly distributed to every part of your food. Taken together, these features mean that air fryers can typically save you around 30 minutes in cooking time. A meal cooked for an hour in a typical 2,000 Watt electric oven would use two kiloWatt hours of energy – but if you could cook the same meal in half an hour in a 1,000 Watt air fryer, it would use just half a kiloWatt hour. When it comes to cooking, we all want to prepare delicious and healthy meals for ourselves and our loved ones. That’s why the DIDO Air Fryer 5.5L is worth considering. With its revolutionary spiral air high-speed circulation technology, this air fryer allows you to enjoy the same crunchy taste of fried food with up to 85% less fat than traditional deep frying methods. Say goodbye to guilt and hello to guilt-free fried food! But don’t just take our word for it; scientific research and evidence also support the effectiveness of air fryers in reducing fat content while maintaining taste and texture. In short, an air fryer is a small countertop convection oven that’s designed to simulate deep fat frying, without ever having to submerge your chosen foods in hot oil. The 'fry' part of the air fryer name is technically a misnomer, as frying usually requires oil, and these machines, unlike deep fat fryers, use none. Instead, they use a powerful combination of heating elements and fans to blow cyclones of super hot air around their interior compartment. This process cooks food in all directions, and the result is delicious, crispy food that you'd think was fried, but comes with significantly less calories and fat. Some sources suggest a calorie count reduction of 70-80% compared to deep fat frying!Having tested quite a few bulky and heavy air fryers, this made for a refreshing change. There are no smart apps to contend with or confusing control panels to conquer, either.
