Aria Air Fryers CPW-908 Aria Ceramic Air Fryer, 5Qt, White

Product Information

But it's precisely that shape that makes this pan incredibly versatile and could see you replacing two or three pans in your cupboard with just this one. Because of this, the pancakes took longer to cook, which caused them to crack, plus the browning was uneven. The transparent ones tend to be a feature on more expensive machines, so you need to decide how important this is to you. When we test air fryers, we evaluate their performance and ease of use by air frying frozen french fries, homemade french fries and frozen mozzarella sticks. The convenient timer function allows for accurate cooking time with food cooked exactly how you want it.

It performed nearly as well as our previous top pick (and current upgrade pick), the similarly sized Philips Premium Airfryer HD9741, and it costs about half as much. As medium-capacity air-fryers go, this model from Tefal is impressively slimline with an attractive stainless steel body and brushed plastic base. One of our only irks was the navigation of selecting your function and the ambiguity of some of the function icons.

If you’re looking for an air fryer with six cooking options and additional features, then ask us about the AF300UK. We wanted food to come out crisp on the outside but moist internally, without any burning or dehydrating.

Wash with care: While some non-stick frying pans claim to be dishwasher-safe, most dishwashers use very hot water and powerful detergents that may slowly damage the coating. We especially like air frying root vegetables, like mini potatoes and diced butternut squash and beets. This non-stick frying pan is a more high-end offering, but it showcases some fantastic finishing details, as well as a long, sturdy and comfortable handle. Thanks to the tri-ply 18/10 stainless-steel construction and aluminium core, the Saveur pan has excellent heat distribution, so both our omelettes and pancakes cooked well wherever we moved them in the pan.

Avoid high heat: High temperatures can also impact the effectiveness of a non-stick coating, so stick to low or medium heat levels when cooking with your frying pan. A small but super-useful pan to have, whatever the size of your cook space, but certainly a must for the smaller kitchen.

With its large capacity and easy-to-use touchscreen interface, this air fryer is perfect for cooking up all your favorite fried foods with less fat and less time. It’s visually more trim, too; the simple dials and nearly rectangular build set this air fryer apart from its globular, spaceship-like counterparts. Thanks to the quick air circulation, cooking requires almost no oil and there is no unpleasant smell. We loved its tall, compact design and simple touchscreen, which displays 12 cooking functions – from chicken, steak and seafood, to vegetables and fries.The HD9200/91 has no touchscreen, only two dials—one for time and one for temperature––and no preprogrammed settings. An effortlessly slick non-stick coating with just a touch of grip will prevent spread when cooking pancakes or frying eggs. Larger-capacity pod-shaped air fryers—anything beyond about 5 quarts—tend to take longer to cook and do so less evenly. Air fryer ovens are a bit bigger and can air fry food on multiple shelves, but they require more monitoring and food often needs to be rotated during cooking. We checked that every component of the air-fryer was built to last and able to withstand regular use.

We also evaluate features like the control panel, temperature range and whether the accessories are dishwasher-safe. Our chicken breast – air-fried at 200C for 15 minutes – was golden and crisp, with juicy, succulent meat in the middle. We had success with chips too, which could have done with some shaking half-way through, but were otherwise well sealed and had great flavour.

Look for scratch-resistant non-stick (often with a specific warranty for the coating) that’ll hold up to long-term wear and tear. Most air-fryers are multifunctional but not all extend their practicality to usable baking functions. Play with the flavours, choose different herbs, different wines or even nothing, not even a cross on top when you just want the fastest of treats. This family-size air fryer can create a delicious variety of snacks, sides and full meals with 6 versatile cooking functions – Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, Dehydrate and Max Crisp.
