It won’t have escaped your attention that air fryers are an incredibly popular energy-saving purchase, thanks to their ability to cook some meals more efficiently than other kitchen appliances.
As well as packing the potential to lower your household energy bills when compared with conventional ovens, air fryers also use little or no oil to cook fried food, meaning healthier chips could be on your menu. You can do everything from grilling vegetables to cooking a roast dinner with this cooking device. Plus, they come in compact as well as larger sizes, to suit both your kitchen and culinary requirements.
Like most other kitchen appliances, air fryers vary in price, performance and abilities. Prices tend to start around the £60 mark, but can head up to more than £200 for the largest and most-capable examples.
The sweet spot is about £100 to £150, and despite their sudden popularity – and waning stock levels at some retailers as a result – deals are available, with some examples reduced by £50 or more. It’s worth taking a look at what’s available, and we are here to help. As always, the IndyBest expert shopping team is on hand to find you the best deals.
Among the most important stats to look for are the power and cooking time, as well as the capacity of the air fryer, which is sometimes measured in kilograms and sometimes in litres, depending on the manufacturer.
