Product Information

The performance of the AFW01 Air Fryer was good overall but there are some areas that could use improvement. For example, as there are no recipes, or guidance for cooking different types of food, I was unsure what programme to use for frozen food, although as 200°C was the highest temperature available, this seemed like the best option. For each basket you have an LED display on the touch control panel and you can set different times, temperatures and programmes for each basket.

Still, if your kitchen countertops are big enough, it’s doable – and there’s a good reason why it’s so large. If you are going to cook the same food in both baskets you can enter the time and temperature settings in one basket and then copy those settings to the other basket with the cooking synchronisation function by pressing the L=R button.It offers 8 intelligent cooking programmes that you can easily select from the fryer’s touch screen. Each program has stored time and temperature settings specific to each function. The 8 programmes are: AIR FRY, ROAST, AIR CRISP, BROIL, BAKE, GRILL, DEHYDRATE and REHEAT. The CHEFREE AFW2 includes a SHAKE function so you don’t forget to shake food, especially useful for fries.

Having two completely independent cooking drawers means you can easily prepare two different foods at once, also using different programmes, times and temperatures for each drawer (e.g. roast in one; air fry in the other), yet also instruct the Chefree to have everything ready to serve at the same time. This 'Sync Finish Function' is actually reasonably amazing, to be fair, and it takes a lot of hassle out of cooking large meals to feed a family or even just something for yourself of an evening. No need to cook elements of the menu sequentially: everything can be ready at once (provided your planned meal fits into two drawers, obvs). The Chefree AWF20 serves not only as a great alternative to a conventional oven with faster cook times and less energy consumption, but it also has a leg-up on most of the air fryer competition. Of course, you don’t buy a huge air fryer to make cheese on toast, so let’s talk about more involved meals.

Not only did they taste delicious, they were cheap, required little effort and no washing up. They were quite small compared to other Yorkshire puddings I have eaten in the past, but that didn't bother me, I just put two or three on my plate instead. The curly fries were done in 12 minutes at just 170℃, while the turkey drummers came out perfectly golden in little over 16 minutes at 180℃ – a process made much easier by the aforementioned Sync Finish feature. Both baskets can be cooking food at the same time or you can use only one of them, as they are independently controlled. The CHEFREE AFW20 air fryer offers 8L of capacity distributed in two baskets that allow you to cook more in less time and using less electricity. The dual 4L basket design allows you to cook two different foods at different temperatures and even different cooking modes, at the same time, with a Sync Finish option removing the need to manually time your cook so all your food is ready at the same time.
