Product Information

Some premium models even make it possible to cook an entire Sunday roast, potentially allowing you to squeeze in a whole chicken alongside potatoes and vegetables for the ultimate in tasty, energy efficient cooking.

We've tested more than 40 air fryers over the years, and we believe they're a great addition to most homes. One of the selling points of an air fryer is that food is cooked in substantially less oil, compared with a deep-fat fryer, making it a healthier alternative.While this may not seem all that important, we actually found it made a big difference when it came to cooking.

Unlike some of our other bowl or drawer options, this one is most similar to your everyday oven, with a box-like shape and a large front window, making it best for meats rather than stews or one-pot wonders. Air fryer ovens are a bit bigger and can air fry food on multiple shelves, but they require more monitoring and food often needs to be rotated during cooking. Could you do multiple small batches, set them aside and then put all batches back on together to do a final crisp and reheat? We found that the air fryer was quicker to heat up, cooked faster and used less energy, although the quality of cooking was slightly worse than in either of the ovens.

This design causes food to cook quickly, as do other elements like the use of perforated trays, which help increase airflow, and a small-capacity design, which helps create a high-heat environment. Good models will come with dishwasher-safe removable parts and a pull-out loading tray that slots into the machine.

These include weight and temperature settings, so you can adjust the heat and cook time to suit your ingredients. Currys carries dozens of different air fryers from brands including Tefal, Ninja, Philips and Tower.

We always list power cable length in our reviews because it can determine how close you'll need to place your air fryer to a socket. And models that provide more functions, like steam cooking or slow cooking, will also cost more than those that are focused on air frying. it isn’t the largest, but being one main tray it actually provides plenty of room – we managed to cook six chicken breasts in it with a bit of clever organising.So in my opinion parboiling is an essential step to a good roast potato and is worth the extra step. Some air fryers have quick cook functions and stirring paddles, which do all the hard work for you, while others can also grill or bake. As an alternative to switching on a full-sized oven several times a week to cook a meal for two, the benefits really stack up. Until you know the recipe, it's also a good practice to start checking your food within a quarter of the time you would normally check it in the oven. Air fryers work by convection, meaning they circulate hot air around your food, ensuring every bit of surface area is exposed to the oil and heat.

It helps that these are also the most commonly found potatoes so you shouldn’t have any problems finding them.

This Russell Hobbs option looks more like a cool box than an air fryer, but trust us when we say this is what makes it so great. I’m sure people will have their own flavourings they like to add to roast potatoes and once they have the basics of how to air fry them, they can add extra flavours. In short, air fryers fry food with much less oil than your regular deep-fat frying or even pan frying methods.
