Product Information

If you're short on space, for example, you could consider an Instant Pot or alternative multi-cookers, which includes some models that mimic the effect of a standalone air fryer. Many different cooking functions allow you to get creative in the kitchen when preparing your dishes!

Not only are air fryer ovens ideal for reducing the use of oil for healthier cooking, but they are also extremely cost-friendly. Though electric, this outdoor grill with an air fryer function is designed for cooking on balconies and terraces. In our review, we found the compact, circular-shaped air fryer does lack a reminder to shake function - a feature that many other air fryers offer and helps ensure the hot air reaches every inch of the food. There's only one tray here, it doesn’t have a dehydrate setting, there’s no progress or text bar (instead, a small seven-segment screen displays the time, temperature, and cooking stage), and there’s no window nor a light.Finally, while the air frying function doesn’t make full use of its generous capacity, its spacious interior does grant more real estate to spread out your food while cooking. However, it struggled to evenly brown foods, so we found ourselves tweaking cooking times, and it wasn't effective when cooking frozen foods either. The handle found on the drawer is also handy for shaking the food part-way through cooking, which encourages an even distribution of crispiness.

air fryer is great for your health and your budget: it saves up to 55% on energy bills because it cooks 50% faster than a conventional oven, and you use 85% less oil when compared with traditional deep frying. It also has a reminder to shake, which can be activated when setting the cooking time that will alert you halfway through cooking so you can turn the food to achieve an even crisp. There is a huge array of foods which you can cook in an air fryer from meats such as chicken, fish and pork to various vegetables and even roast dinners! There are a number of considerations that need taking into account when choosing the best air fryer for you. Let's be honest, some of us just want a basic, easy-to-use fryer that is well-rated and gets the job done – but also looks EXTRA cute on our countertops.Multi-taskers may even want to take a look at our best Instant Pot guide as many of those models include air fryer along with pressure cooking and more for the ultimate everything kitchen appliance.

This means that they can be more versatile than the more traditional air fryer, with a larger capacity and more forgiving shape of cooking area. For one to two people, up to 3L should be enough, or you can go a bit higher in capacity for more versatility.

Finally, anybody seeking to cook red meat so it's rare or medium-rare will struggle to do so in an air fryer. Just bear in mind that, as in our experience, it takes a bit of tweaking and guesswork to get cooking times and temperatures right. This design allows any excess oil to be removed from the contents, decreasing the eventual fat content on the plate. Its air fryer function is one of the best we've ever tested, and it has a Chef Mode for creating perfectly-cooked meals.

However, the accessories are hand-wash only so you can't just chuck them in the dishwasher when you're done. As we’ve already mentioned, if you’re tight on space look for air fryers that offer a multitude of different cooking methods, to cut down on the number of appliances that clutter up your kitchen countertop. So whether that's frozen foods, mini pizzas, or even gnocchi and ravioli - it can all be cooked in an air fryer.The Ninja Air Fryer Max, which is known as the Ninja Air Fryer Max XL in the US, also turned our crisp, evenly browned homemade fries and chicken wings, and was quiet during use too.
