Find the Best Air Fryer for every meal

The capacity of the hot-air fryer should be chosen according to your needs – there are small hot-air fryers with a capacity of a few litres as well as larger ones that can cook for a very large family. Think about how many people you are cooking for and choose the best hot air fryer for you from our range.

The ability to adjust the temperature is crucial for perfect cooking. The best hot-air fryers have a wide temperature range, allowing you to cook different foods at the right temperature. Many models also have pre-programmed cooking programmes, where the right temperature for cooking a particular food is already selected and the food is ready at the touch of a button.

Having a timer is a handy feature that allows you to set the cooking time. The machine switches off automatically after the set time, so there’s no need to worry about the bottom of your food burning.

Some hot-air fryers come with accessories such as rods for grilling and a rack where you can put some food up and some down – great if you want to cook several foods at once. Think about which accessories you would prefer and choose the model that includes them. You can also buy accessories separately.

Hot air fryers are very popular, which is why there are so many different brands and it can be difficult to choose between them. Take a look at the different brands and compare the features and prices of air grilles to find the best hot air grille for your budget.

A hot air fryer needs air around it and so does food. If the deep fryer basket is overfilled, there is not much open space for the food and it will not cook through.

Preheating makes the outside of the food too crispy and the food stays raw inside.

When the food is ready, lift the deep fryer basket by the handle only, as the basket is hotter and will cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin.

When the food is ready, use tongs to lift the food out of the deep-fryer basket, as excess fat will run onto the food when poured over, and hot fat can also burn.

Some foods need to be shaken or turned over in the middle of cooking. This prevents the food from sticking together and gives the best degree of doneness.

You don’t need to use any oil at all when cooking with a hot air fryer – you can add a tablespoon of oil or fat if you wish. If you use too much oil, the oil will seep down into the fryer basket and can start to smoke.

The hot-air fryer should be cleaned after each use to avoid charring of the food and accumulation of residues. The parts of the air fryer that should be cleaned after each use are the basket, the tray and the pan.
