Product Information

Mini oven’ types: these models use convection or fan technology to cook food on flat, slide-in trays. As well as roasting, their extra air-frying functions circulate hot air around the food for more efficient crisping. These took up the space of an average-sized microwave. Some may also include rotisserie elements. We like the compact size and no-frills design of the Chefman and think it would easily fit into even a fancy kitchen without calling attention to itself. Lastly, the price is very reasonable, and will be especially attractive to people who aren’t 100 percent certain they want an air fryer. We’re dubbing this the “starter air fryer”. In most cases, yes. If you're after a convenient appliance that will save you time and potentially money, then an air fryer could be a worthwhile investment. You can keep an eye on the cooking time using the app on your phone, and it will let you know once cooking is finished.

Lower the temperature by 25°F and bake for 20 to 25 percent less time than the temperature and time called for in a regular baking recipe. The more expensive offerings will likely include toaster ovens. These multi-functional machines technically provide several appliances in one, but its ultimate value will come down to your use. Spending more naturally opens up the possibility of additional accessories and features as well, such as meat probes and two-basket designs. Smart connectivity is becoming more popular too, although this always adds to the price tag. How much food do you typically cook? Most air fryers can cook around 800g (around four to six portions) of chips. Some can manage up to twice as much. If you have lots of people to cater for, opt for a larger capacity, or a model with double-level cooking or a second compartment. When you’re on the market for a new air fryer, you might notice that there are more options than there’s ever been before. There are compact designs for small families, which will save space on your countertop, and then there are multifunctional options which can bake, toast and roast, as well as air fry. This can get bulky and expensive though, so make sure you only buy what you intend to use. Some can also pressure cook and slow cook as well, such as one of the best instant pots. If you want to air fry two different things at once, some even offer two baskets. Most air fryers are multipurpose. As newer models come out, we've seen more functions and presets. Some can grill, pressure cook and dehydrate as well as mastering the perfect chip. Some even have a rotisserie. We explain what these functions mean below.Overfilling a toaster oven is one of the 7 toaster oven mistakes to avoid at all costs, so take care with capacity here too. Can it be repaired independently? If the warranty on your appliance has expired, find out whether any independent appliance repairs services will fix it for you. Research recommended and trusted traders in your area, and they may be able to come out and take a look for you. Another common complaint is the handle breaking away from the basket. The answer to this, once again, is washing by hand, as being exposed to the high temperatures within a dishwasher won’t help the plastic. Try not to pull on the handle with too much force during everyday use as well. If your air fryer malfunctions, and it’s not under warranty, it’s best to replace it. If you request a repair quote, and find it’s more than half the price of a new air fryer, we recommend replacing the model.
