About this deal

Out of the box, I was taken away by the size of the Salter EK4548 Dual Air Fryer. I was slightly worried that it wouldn’t fit between my kitchen counter and cupboards, but it ended up being ok. It’s a consideration for a smaller kitchen, though. And while I’m grumbling, this air fryer’s two baskets feature a dual-skinned front that stays reasonably cool in use, but neither the baskets nor their food trays are dishwasher safe. If you’re as lazy as me when it comes to washing up, that could be a pain. Finally, there’s no shake reminder, which would be helpful to ensure even browning on foods. The Salter Dual Air essentially combines two air fryers side-by-side. You can use either side independently of the other, allowing you to cook one dish only, or to cook two foods – each can have its own different settings if needed. It’s much the same setup as we’ve seen from the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, currently our favourite all-round air fryer, and that’s a strong starting place.

There are 12 preset functions for specific foods, as well as manual settings. The majority of the presets are aimed at cooking meat and fish, but the other functions include chips, desserts, vegetables, reheating, and dehydrating.

When looking for the best air fryer, we usually buy from brands that we recognise. Salter is a trusted and popular kitchen appliance and cookwear brand, so it’s no surprise that they’ve entered the air fryer game and launched an entire air fryer range. It’s a proper piece of kit, with a full touchscreen LED display filled with buttons, which is almost intimidating. But thankfully the instructions are thorough and talk you through each of the functions and buttons.

Upping the game ahead of Christmas dinner, I tested out Brussels sprouts cooked with bacon. This time, too long meant they'd reduced to barely the size of a pea and were very crispy. By Christmas Day, I’d figured out the perfect cooking time of 10 minutes and they were plenty flavourful. Bacon is also a great meat to cook in the air fryer if you like it crispy, but a beefburger dried out and didn’t retain its moisture, so it was almost inedible.

The Dual Air did a marvellous job of roasting some new potatoes to produce rough and ready homemade wedges. I simply cut them in half, tossed them in olive oil, and cooked them at full power for 18 minutes – my children loved the end result. Potatoes and sweetcorn by Salter Dual Air.

Salter Dual Cook Pro air fryer review - Reviews | BBC Good Food

Not only does an air fryer promise to cut down your cooking time, but it does so with as little need for oil as possible. So you can still achieve that deep-fried effect without the unhealthy aftertaste. One thing that was missing was an auto-switch-off function that turns the air fryer off once the food is cooked. We find this to be a godsend to avoid food from overcooking. Just as I found with the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, you’re likely to use the Dual Air’s sync mode a lot when preparing a meal. It’s extremely helpful to dial up two different programmes, then just start the Dual Air running and have it deliver everything ready at the same time. Sometimes you’ll want greater flexibility, though, and this fryer offers it. You can essentially programme each side completely independently of the other. For example, you could bake for 40 minutes in tray two, while you cook a series of other foods in tray one. Each preset automatically sets the time and temperature depending on the food. Additionally, the instructions detail the preset functions’ temperatures and times to give you a recommendation for each of the foods.Versatile– With adjustable temperature control as well as pause and resume cooking functions, cook a huge range of different foods. This innovative air fryer is ideal for home-made chips or wedges as well as meat, spring rolls, stuffed vegetables and quiche, it can cook a huge variety of foods. Features and Benefits An air fryer is essentially a small convection oven, circulating hot air around the food to get that crispy outer layer and fluffy or moist inside. It is also more energy-efficient due to its size and power, compared to heating your kitchen oven.

A handy function is the ‘sync cook’ and ‘match cook’ settings. When cooking different foods at different times and temperatures, the ‘sync’ setting means both compartments will finish cooking at the same time which is a great way to avoid food in one side getting cold whilst the other side is still cooking.I’m also the type of person that likes to press buttons without instructions, but the Salter Dual Air Fryer has several auto cooking functions – like different meats, muffins, fish, chips, and vegetables – that will help you select the right temperature and time for your chosen dish. If you’re unsure of the buttons (and the little images they represent) and it’s too much choice, I recommend selecting manual cook and winging it with your own time and temperature. Always go lower and shorter than you need. Any negatives? You’re instructed to clean the cooking baskets with hot soapy water and give the outer casing a wash to remove any dust. It is recommended that the air fryer runs for 10 minutes without food before first use, this is to prevent any initial odours or smoke from affecting the food – this is normal. Presets and functions Like the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, the Dual Air offers a choice of combined or independent control of its two baskets. By default, you can programme a temperature and time for each, then both will start at the same time. In Sync mode, the longer programme gets a head start so that both sides finish cooking at the same time. Finally, Match Cook mode sets both sides to cook with the same settings, which is useful if you just want to cook lots of the same thing. Performance
