Product Information

I turned the temperature up to 200°C for some frozen hashbrowns. Even following 20 minutes in the air fryer, they weren’t that brown – but they were some of the crispiest hashbrowns I’d ever had. A better way to cook halloumi was on the griddle – using the ridged side of the reversible grill plate. Ten minutes at 180°C was all it took for the halloumi to begin crisping up, although there were some paler pieces in the middle. I flipped the strips around and cooked them for a further 3 minutes, after which they’d developed excellent grill lines on both sides.

Its digital control panel presents a selection of pre-set menus to cook your favourite food at the touch of a buttonThis digital air fryer oven from Tower is the perfect all-round cooking companion, featuring 5-in-1 functionality that lets you use it as an air fryer, rotisserie, dehydrator, as well as for baking and roasting. Cooking food 30% faster, Tower Air Fryers use less power than conventional ovens. Save up to 50% on your energy by simply switching to Air Fryer cooking While welcome, storing all of these accessories is a challenge. The actual assembly and placement of the rotisserie fork and the kebab skewers also proved quite fiddly –instructions for neither is particularly well explained by the manual.

There’s no doubt that Tefal’s Genius range is expensive, but you really won’t find a line of air fryers that do the job better. The ability to use different modes in each basket – for example, grilling bacon in one drawer while air frying hash browns in the other – gives the Instant Vortex Plus a real edge for people seeking to make whole meals in their air fryer. Rapid air circulation creates crispier textures across your mealtime favourites, 30% faster than a conventional oven The 360-degree stirring paddle is incredibly handy and ensures food is evenly and consistently cooked without the need for shaking your food mid-cooking cycle. Nine automatic cooking functions take most of the guesswork out of air frying but there’s still an option to manually set the time and temperature if need be. What’s more, if you’re using these presets, the Genius+ (and every other Genius model in the range) automatically adjusts the temperature and stirring paddle during cooking so your food isn’t overcooked.The metal structure houses a stainless steel interior cavity, providing ample cooking space for individual and family meals, with a viewing window to monitor the food. Time selection happens in 1-minute increments, with a minimum cooking time of 1 minute and a maximum of 60 minutes. Temperature goes from 30°C to 200°C in 5°C increments. The best models will have a number of basics you should look out for. These include weight and temperature settings, so you can adjust the heat and cook time to suit your ingredients. Despite being a budget-friendly option, the T17023 was no slouch in testing, cooking oven classics such as spring rolls and hash browns to a commendable crispness and performing solidly when tasked with more delicate items like meat and vegetables. All that space isn’t just there so you can bulk fry chips, though. The extra-large capacity houses Tefal’s 2in1 function, which enables you to cook two different elements of your meal in one place. With a rotating stirring paddle on the bottom and a static upper tray on top, you can cook a curry and air fry samosas in the same machine, saving on time and washing up.
