Grilling foods has always been a healthier alternative to frying as it uses less oil and melts the fat from meat. In the long run grilling meats, fish and veggies is a lighter option that helps prevent heart diseases and is better for the body. I was sceptical about the health benefits of air frying but my mind has been opened up to the many options available - particularly the child-friendly meals that could be created from scratch with fresh ingredients but a crispy, fried finish to keep the kids happy. The instructions recommended washing before use - after that our hardest decision was deciding what to eat first. Air FryingI decided to keep things simple and tried some home-made air-fried chips, which turned out to be very crispy and the kids didn’t complain. We found the settings very easy to use, although a thorough read of the booklet is recommended. You simply select the type of cooking, temperature and time. The booklet is a lifesaver, as it has full instructions for every type of food possible. We decided to try air frying roast potato wedges; we simply sliced up our spuds before popping them in the fryer and pressing the correct setting. Using the included booklet for the times made it super easy. Overall, Air frying is healthier than deep frying in oil - cutting calories by around 70% and a lot less fat.

Pros

The main negative was the space it takes up in the kitchen — the XL large family size fryer I tried is massive and I wasn’t sure where to put it! We think the Salter air fryer is perfect if you are a solo household, family or have little one's that just can't wait.
