Amazon Basics 6 Litre Air Fryer with Digital Touchscreen and 8 Cooking Presets, Black

Product Information

Each drawer has its own crisper plate, which lifts your food off the drawer’s base, increasing air circulation around it. You should use the crispers for most modes, although there are a couple where you should remove it. Once you have established the size category and intended use, you can consider this like countertop space and dietary needs and preferences. 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. If this all seems overwhelming, don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. We will guide you on making this decision, our aim being you and your family’s satisfaction. What size of Air Fryer is Good for a Family? Using three teaspoons of oil, I next used the Air Fry mode at 200ºC for 24 minutes. Ninja recommends that you remove the drawer and shake the contents at least two or three times through the cooking process to redistribute items. As per the manual, it’s worth using silicone tongs to move the chips around to get the best results; in particular, items at the centre of the pile will need a bit of help to get hot air over them.

It has the capacity to make enough chips for two people, though it took around 5 minutes longer than my usual air fryer. Bacon crisped up nicely, but I could only fit three full slices in the cooking basket. Cook twice as much food than a standard air fryer with this easy-to-use Tower Vortx Dual Basket Air Fryer. I started by making my own homemade chips. I peeled and sliced the potatoes, and then left them to soak in water for 30 minutes, before draining and patting dry. Ninja recommends using a maximum of 450g of potatoes for fresh chips (1kg per drawer if you’re using frozen), although I made a little more than this. This reasonably priced air fryer is a joy to use, with a fantastically intuitive control panel. And the additional cooking functions such as roast and bake, mean it’s a versatile choice that’ll earn its place in your kitchen.

less fat: little to no oil is required, all while keeping the same great taste, so you lose the fat not the flavour. The Magic Bullet air fryer is quite possibly one of the simplest air fryers I've ever used. There’s no complicated digital display to figure out. It has two dial controls, one for time and the other for temperature. I’d go as far as to say that anybody could use this air fryer without ever glancing at the manual. From chips, to bacon, breaded foods, to vegetables. Everything I cooked in it was beautifully cooked and much faster and crisper than in an oven. And, uniquely, it has a viewing window in the front so you can keep an eye on your food as it cooks and make sure nothing is burning. What more could you want? Category four: These are the extra-large air fryers. They are split into two ranges, according to their sizes; 6.5-10.5 quarts sized air fryers and 16.0 sized air fryers.

Reheating food in this air fryer also produces excellent results. Left-over pizza was warmed up on the Reheat setting in about five minutes with no burning, turning from a floppy piece of dough into a crisp, almost-as-good-as-when-fresh slice. The only downside is that the drawer size means you’ll only be able to fit in about two slices per drawer. Meat test: Brilliantly cooked burger, with charring on the outside and good bite, but soft and succulent on the inside. Homemade chips: Using a combination of standard and max crisp settings achieved perfectly cooked chips that were crunchy all of the way around.

people: A Multifunctional air fryer which can range from 9 Quarts to 30 Quarts (8.5 to 28.4 Litres). Love to have meat on the bone that are of irregular shapes and bulky then you might need a bigger air fryer so that it can fit in the basket.

I tried each of these air fryers in my own home on separate occasions. I used each of them in place of my usual air fryer for at least a week. During this time I was able to evaluate how easy they were to clean and how intuitive the interface and settings were to use on a daily basis. At the end of the cooking time, I ran the Max Crisp programme for five minutes, just to finish off the chips. I ended up with pretty-much perfect results: decent colouration without burning, with even the lighter parts of the chip having a nice crunch to them.

Are you still looking for more of what an air fryer can do? Well, there are the awesome Multifunctional Air Fryers that actually combine the basic air fryer with other cooking functions! Excellent performance across a wide range of items and generous capacity are the stand-out features, but the individual drawer size means that you can’t cook larger items in this air fryer. What you need to know Air fryers are great cooking appliances, perfect for those who want to eat fried foods but also want to escape the adverse effect of deep-fried foods on their cholesterol levels. Now, before shopping for an air fryer for family use, it is best to decide just how large or how small your air fryer would be, considering questions such as; would you want an air fryer that is larger than what you need because of when more family members come around? Or would you want a smaller air fryer that’s focused on just you and your spouse and kids?

Next, I cooked a burger without oil, following the instructions. The result was a juicy burger, cooked to perfection, with a slight crunch to the top and a succulent interior. There are quite a number of air fryer sizes available, and these sizes are determined by the amount of food the air fryer basket can hold in one cooking cycle. The general measurements are done in quarts, pounds or liters, each depending on the manufacturer and/or the region it would be used for. For example, American air fryers are measured in quarts whilst international models measure their air fryers in liters. This is a pointer to the fact that the measurements are merely guidelines and the quantity of food is what determines the measurements of the fryers. If you go for individual controls, then you can use the Sync button. This will ensure that food will finish cooking in both drawers at exactly the same time, even if you programme them with different timers and cooking modes. It’s pretty clever, taking the hard work out of managing timings. Ultimately, it’s a trade-off, and what the Dual Zone offers is the flexibility to cook different items at the same time. So, if you want a burger and chips, you can use one drawer for the meat and the other for the fries. Category two: These are the medium-sized air fryers, and they are well suited to be used to serve between 2-5 people. Alongside serving a diverse range of cooking needs, they can probably be used to serve a maximum of 6 people, but that depends on the model you’re getting. They range between 3.0- 5.0 quarts.Air Fry is probably the most commonly used mode, running at up to 210ºC. The Max Crisp mode runs at 240ºC and is a welcome inclusion; it’s designed to give food that perfect crunch. If the kitchen space available for your fryer isn’t so much, there’s a way around it. You may want to get 3.0 quarts sized fryer. It would represent the best value for money whilst also maximizing the space you have to use the appliance. Either that or 4 quarts sized air fryer. Yes, they are ever so slightly bigger but they wouldn’t take up a much bigger space. But if you don’t have the space to spare, going for a 3.0 quarts fryer is totally fine and totally worth it. Tower Air Fryers are powerful and cook food much faster than conventional ovens, yet they also use far less energy. Save up to 70% on your energy by simply switching to Tower Air Fryer cooking.
