For one to two people, up to 3L should be enough, or you can go a bit higher in capacity for more versatility.

Just like our other winner, this Haier air fryer provided consistently crispy results across the board, making it a great choice for delicious fried feasts without all that oil. It has a probe which monitors the internal temperature of food, allowing you to set your desired temperature instead of a cooking time – for instance, chicken at 75 degrees celsius. It barely dropped any points in our chips and cupcake tests, with both emerging evenly cooked thanks to outstanding air circulation. It’s essentially air frying on steroids, wedging the grill plate between steam from the bottom and air frying on top to cook meals even quicker.So you can cook with the same time and temperatures across both drawers (effectively doubling the capacity of a single drawer use) or you can control either drawer independently.

A wok or a deep saucepan with a few centimetres of oil will do the job if you’re frying in small quantities.

This air fryer comes with a health grill as well, which gives meat the sear you’d get from a barbecue.Let's be honest, some of us just want a basic, easy-to-use fryer that is well-rated and gets the job done – but also looks EXTRA cute on our countertops. Equipped with my new purchase, I set about experimenting, including posting a four-second video on Instagram of my first batch of chips sizzling, just to canvas some opinion. The range goes from 60°C to 200°C, which gives you a lot of scope to bake or dehydrate foods at a lower temperature, or blast them at a more powerful heat to create that delicious crispy, fried finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them every now and again, until they’re lovely, crisp and light golden'.

It’s a bulky bit of kit, but we found it easy to use and appreciated the included cooking charts that detail how to use the machine to prepare different foods.Yes of course, these are mostly crazily decadent ideas featuring ice cream, blocks of mozzarella, bars of chocolate and giant pickles, but there are also lots of useful tips including perfecting chips and how to keep your oil clean. For safety reasons you can’t start or stop the air fryer using the app, but it did mean that I could set it and go catch up on a little TV while monitoring my sausages and chips from the other room. But the chips I air fried came out crunchy without drying out and the broccoli I steamed was moist and perfectly done.
