MELIOR Air Fryer, 4.5L

Product Information

The pandemic is a major factor in the rise of the popularity of air fryers. It left consumers without the option to freely dine out and led to more people cooking at home. Social media is a major factor; content creators, both small and large, are sharing their recipes and meals. It also helps promote the benefits of cooking with an air fryer in very creative ways.' How much oil do I need to use in my air fryer? The concept of the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Air Fryer is simple, but the execution is nothing less than perfect. Instead of choosing between a dual-drawer or single-drawer model, you get both thanks to this new generation of multi-zone air fryers. The Sage Smart Oven Air Fryer might just be the thing to change that, with the functionality needed to convince you to ditch your normal oven for it instead. 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.

This air fryer has a touch screen with a dial to adjust timings and temperatures. The control panel has a bar that shows the cooking progress, and we like that this air fryer pre-heats. Because the touch-screen panel slopes towards you this is a great air fryer to place under kitchen cabinets.
