What do I need to know before I buy an air fryer?<\/h2>\n
Consider this when hunting for the best design:<\/span><\/p>\n
Cooking modes:<\/strong> An air fryer is excellent for giving food a delicious fried finish with minimal oil needed and it works for both sweet and savoury foods. Use it to make anything from crispy-skinned drumsticks to crunchy mozzarella balls, to doughnuts and pastries. If you want a design that has more than air fry mode, however, look for one with variable cooking modes to grill, baking, roast, reheat and even dehydrate foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
Size:<\/strong> Check the dimensions of your air fryer before you buy to ensure you have enough space to house it permanently on your worktop. Even the most compact air fryer can be bulky in design and too big to store away in kitchen cupboards.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
Capacity:<\/strong> If all you want is to cook a batch of chips without having to heat up your whole oven, a compact air fryer with 1.6 litre capacity and above will be sufficient. If you have a large family, choose a design with a 3 litre and up capacity, as if you have to use the air fryer multiple times to cook for your whole family, it won\u2019t be as energy efficient as your standard oven. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

The ultimate air fryer: Ninja Foodi Max Health Grill & Air Fryer<\/h3>\n

Who knew an air fryer could be such a thing of beauty? Finished in a limited-edition copper and black that looks stunning on the worktop, the Ninja Foodi Max Health Grill & Air Fryer is as stylish as it is versatile. With six cooking modes built into one compact appliance, we think it\u2019s a great value buy for anyone who wants to do more than air fry meals. <\/span><\/p>\n
On top of the standard air fry setting, it has controls for grilling, roasting, baking, reheating and dehydrating. It also comes with dishwasher-safe tools including a crisper basket, digital cooking probe, ceramic-coated cooking pot, grill plate and skewers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
With a cooking capacity of 3.8 litres, it isn\u2019t the largest in our round up, but it does give you the ability to cook six portions in one go. We used the air fryer setting to cook both home-made and frozen chips and were impressed at how crispy and quick the results were.<\/span><\/p>\n

We cooked a golden batch of frozen chips in around 15 minutes simply by inserting the chips into the tray and pressing \u2018Air fry\u2019. You\u2019ll need to factor in the pre-heating time too, which lasts a few minutes and the machine will beep to let you know that it\u2019s time to insert your ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n
It automatically suggests 200 degrees for 20 minutes when you hit the air fry button but you can tailor the temperature and time easily with the dials. We also tried cooking a batch of chicken wings \u2013 using no oil \u2013 and these came out golden and ready to eat in just 12 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
As the design comes with a lift-up lid \u2013 as opposed to a pull-out basket like the majority of air fryers we\u2019ve tried in our test \u2013 you\u2019ll need to use a kitchen spatula to ruffle the food half-way to ensure it\u2019s evenly cooked. That said, we didn\u2019t have to turn the chicken wings and they were cooked evenly on both sides. The air fryer conveniently stops when you open the lid, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
What we also like about this design is that you can easily change the tray inside and switch between air frying and grilling modes \u2013 and this is particularly convenient when steak and chips is on the menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
