It also cooked chips in a respectable 22 minutes (two minutes faster than the promised 24) and delivered fluffy fairy cakes. However, the control interface is intuitive, the troubleshooting advice is clear and it comes with a recipe booklet packed with tasty inspiration for each setting. This is the smallest air-fryer in the Cosori collection and it's currently seeing one of the biggest discounts of the week.

It doesn’t have a child-lock and the components aren’t dishwasher-friendly (although they’re easy to wipe clean). This model also has clear windows so you can keep an eye on your roast while it cooks – and you’ll want to use it for roasts, as our chicken was near-perfect on test.The buttons are responsive, it’s compact for storage in smaller kitchens and it’s lightweight enough to move around. Some take up more space on the kitchen surface and if you’re going to keep it in a cupboard, check the dimensions; some are sizeable beasts. Air-fryers vary in their energy efficiency, but it is possible to calculate how much energy an appliance will use, which in turn will help you cost up the impact it’ll have on your bills. The key to crisp fries was to peel and soak the potatoes in cold water for half an hour to remove starch, before drying thoroughly.

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). For your quick dinner, the N8WERK hot air fryer also offers you 7 preset programs for the preparation of the food of your choice - French fries, shrimp, cake, steak, poultry, meat or fish.We loved its tall, compact design and simple touchscreen, which displays 12 cooking functions – from chicken, steak and seafood, to vegetables and fries.

It comes with a wide, bright touchscreen and five fan speeds, each of which corresponds to a different function. Each air fryer is then scored overall according to its performance, ease of use, design, instructions and accompanying information.It's a fairly hefty appliance, so if your kitchen is compact it may not be for you, but you can fill its two drawers with different foods and sync the programmes so everything is ready to eat at the same time – a process we found intuitive on test. In her free time, Blossom openly admits to being a music geek and indulges her creative side through crocheting, baking, singing and writing.

Dual-drawer air-fryer models also come with the ability to cook different dishes on different functions simultaneously, while rotisserie fryers can help you create restaurant-quality chicken and chips from home. Luckily, this didn’t impact the finished dishes too much – our chicken was juicy and our chips were the perfect texture inside, if a little unevenly browned.The two drawers are a good solution for quickly cooking core parts of a meal at the same time, and in less time than in a traditional oven. The chicken legs we roasted were juicy inside and evenly cooked, while the chips in the next drawer required a little more attention with shakes mid-cook, but had a good crisp finish on the outside.
