Tower T17038 Xpress 5-in-1 Manual Air Fryer Oven with Rapid Air Circulation, 60-Minute Timer, 11L, 2000W, Black

Product Information

The addition of the reversible grill plate and wire rack accessories completes your air frying experience, allowing you to cook mouth-watering sizzling steaks, crispy pepperoni pizzas and golden brown sausages. I used the Tower Vortex 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer to cook frozen chicken fillets, which cooked at the same time as recommended for cooking in a standard oven. Accessories include a rotisserie fork and handle, 3 mesh air flow racks, an oil drip tray and our new wire rack and grill plate to cook more of the food you love. And you can also cook your veggies, pizza or even rotisserie chicken, as this fryer doubles as a classic hot-air oven. The charring in my image is a result of the harissa paste, but I've also used the Tower Vortex for a regular Sunday roast chicken and it did a spectacular job of a simple, un-flavoured chicken for this too.

The door becomes covered with grease after a few uses, so you'll need to clean the inside as you would a standard oven. These autocook functions are designed to cook fries, steak, drumsticks, fish, shrimp, roast chicken, rotisserie and dried fruit at the push of a button, but you can adjust the temperature and timings as you wish.It doesn’t make it unusable, but if aesthetics are less important to you, the T17038 manual model is worth considering.

Unlike premium air fryers, this model requires you to parboil your potatoes for a few minutes for a decent result. The Tower Vortex is marketed as an air fryer, but it's certainly unconventional when compared to the likes of Ninja, Philips, Cosori and other top air fryer brands.

The Tower Vortex 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer has five different cooking modes and a multi-shelf design to help you layer up different levels of a meal. What I loved the most was the rotisserie setting, which made it easier than ever to make delicious, juicy and evenly cooked cuts of meat.
