Oven-type air fryers come with one or multiple trays to place your food on and slot into the machine for cooking. Basket style with heating elements: tall, slim air-fryers feature a main unit with heating elements and fans. These have slide-out baskets or trays that slot into place inside. As they tend to have a smaller cooking area than oven-style fryers, in testing we found even results were more likely if the cooking was paused occasionally to rearrange or toss the food around. Some fryers will cut out automatically when you do this, some will need to be paused if you want accurate timings. Most have a viewing window on the front so you can keep an eye on your food without disturbing the cooking process.While most air fryers can also roast, grill and bake, a multi cooker can also cook in other ways, such as pressure cooking, steaming and slow cooking. Some air fryers come with a paddle that automatically moves the food around as it cooks. We've found that some air fryers that stir your food for you don't do a very good job of it, so while a stirring paddle does make it more likely that your food will be evenly cooked, it's not guaranteed. Temperature control Do you value the fried food taste above all else? We find that foods made in an air fryer, and chips in particular, do have a fried quality. But if you're used to deep-fried food, then you won't be fooled: most people can taste the difference. Do you prefer digital or manual controls? Digital models can make it easier to see how much cooking time is left. Some air fryer models come with smartphone control via an app. In our tests, some cheaper air fryers were so poor, we named them Don't Buys. We also found some pricier models that gave disappointing results –including soggy, limp or tasteless chips.
