Should I buy an air fryer?

Air Fryers aren’t just for people that like fries with everything. Yes, they allow you to cook oil-free chips from frozen – or if you want to use fresh
potatoes, you only need just one spoonful of oil. But they do so much more, including many things that would require constant attention if you were cooking them in a pan. Think curries, stir fry ad even risotto. No wonder busy mums and dads love them. 

Air fryers often come with a dishwasher-safe bowl, lid, and paddle, so there’s little in the way of washing up. And the largest models can cook for six to eight people.

However, sometimes it pays to go for a smaller, model, especially if you’re not coking for a big family. For example, Tefal’s ActiFry Mini is a compact 600g version that’s perfect for meals for two and won’t hog too much cupboard space. It is 25% faster than its bigger brothers, so you can conjure up a curry or stir-fry in as little as 20 minutes. Set the timer and it will even turn itself off when it’s finished cooking.

What air fryer brand should I buy?

Some of our favourite air fryers are made by Ninja, but they can be very expensive and we’ve been a little underwhelmed by the Ninja air fryer Cyber Monday deals this year so far. We really recommend Cosori, which is a less known brand that’s available on Amazon and Robert Dyas. When we reviewed the Cosori air fryer it was really impressive when it came to value-for-money. In particular, the speedy preheat times and dishwasher-safe basket won us over.

Tefal air fryers are a bit unique when compared to many air fryers, especially when it comes to their look. With a more circular design and a bundt-style inside pillar, this fryer can do a lot more than air fry. It has a paddle that’s built into the middle column which keeps food moving when it’s cooking, to make sure it’s cooked evenly. We were particularly wowed by the chips we made in the Tefal air fryer we reviewed, which were so full of flavour and cooked completely hands-free thanks to the paddle.

Other brands to consider include Instant Brands, which is the brand behind the classic Instant Pot, and Breville, who make amazing toasters and kettles too. The Instant air fryers are very easy to programme and have a reminder to shake midway through any cooking cycle. You can also find them in a range of great colours, as opposed to the typical black shade you’ll find in most market alternatives.
