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

Product Information

Reheat lets you warm up leftovers without them becoming soggy, and Dehydrate runs at lower temperatures for a longer period of time to remove moisture from ingredients, such as herbs. Mini oven’ types: these models use convection or fan technology to cook food on flat, slide-in trays. As well as roasting, their extra air-frying functions circulate hot air around the food for more efficient crisping. These took up the space of an average-sized microwave. Some may also include rotisserie elements.

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.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. 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. Exclusive to Tower Air Fryers, Vortx technology rapidly circulates hot air around food, cooking up to 30% faster than a conventional oven. Vortx also cooks food with little or no oil, making it much healthier, too! Lose the fat not the flavour with Vortx Air Frying Technology The 16.0 quarts sized fryers are the largest of them all and are tailor-made for bulk cooking. So if you have a large family gathering coming up, this might be your fryer of choice. How Big of an Air Fryer do I need with limited Kitchen Space?

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.

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. You may be tempted to go for a bigger air fryer than needed however, bear in mind that a larger air fryer can take up a lot of countertop space.

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 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? Vortx technology: rapid air circulation creates crispier textures across your mealtime favourites, 30% faster than a conventional oven. Family sized air fryers: This size is sufficient for families of 3 to 4 people where the air fryers are used frequently to prepare meals. Category two: These are the medium-sized air fryers, and they are well suited to be used to serve between 2-5 people.

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. 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. 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.
