Product Information

The standout best I've ever had is the Gourmia air fryer... It produces amazing results every time. Fab for roasting veg as side dish or for soups etc."(Recommended by Mumsnet user Elasmotherium) Basket style with heating elements: tall, slim air-fryers feature a main unit with heating elements and fans. These have slide-out baskets or trays that slot into place inside. As they tend to have a smaller cooking area than oven-style fryers, in testing we found even results were more likely if the cooking was paused occasionally to rearrange or toss the food around. Some fryers will cut out automatically when you do this, some will need to be paused if you want accurate timings.
