Amazon Basics 6 Litre Air Fryer with Digital Touchscreen and 8 Cooking Presets, Black

Product Information

As medium-capacity air-fryers go, this model from Tefal is impressively slimline with an attractive stainless steel body and brushed plastic base. Its appearance is particularly striking too, and we were fans of the sleek matte finish and bright, easy-to-use touchscreen. When we review air-fryers, each model goes through several tests: making chips, roasting chicken, grilling halloumi and aubergine, and even baking cake, where possible, to test all functions.

Tower T17127GRY Vortx Air Fryer with Digital Control Panel

Hotter than most conventional ovens, the heat soars up to a sizzling 265 degrees C and circulates around your food to expertly chargrill succulent steaks and crisp off breaded chicken. You can operate it from a smartphone too, which is a fun bonus, though for safety reasons it has to be switched on manually. If you’re wondering whether air-fryers are really worth it, we think the primary perk of owning one is convenience. Built with eight presets (steak, chicken wings, seafood, fish, pizza, chips, bake, vegetables), its sync function adds convenience and was effective when cooking different dishes at the same time – we tried this with salmon (10 mins at 180C) and chicken breast (20 mins at 180C). Chips for two people were evenly browned using the preset having been pre-tossed in 1 tbsp of oil, although they were not super crisp.Complete with internal cooking lights you can keep a constant eye on progress without ever needing to open the door again, saving you more time and energy in the kitchen.
