In addition, the maximum temperature of 200ºC falls short of the 220ºC of some other air fryers I've tested. Again, this could prove limiting for those following a recipe that requires a higher heat. Because you use virtually no oil during cooking, air fryers are relatively easy to clean. On most models, the crisper drawer and tray can be removed and simply hand-washed in hot soapy water. To clean the base unit and control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing. Job done. Which air fryer is best for me?
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.I cooked chips and fish regularly in the air fryer using the dedicated presets. I also successfully made a toastie – and, not-so-successfully, some pancakes, for which I toggled through the temperature / timer button until I reached the desired settings. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1cm slices. Lay the slices flat and cut lengthwise again into 1cm pieces. In my time with the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer, I've used it to cook various foods. In fact, it's been used (pretty much) every day to cook fish fingers in one basket, and chips in the other, for my fussy daughter. The first food I cooked in the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer was, you've guessed it, fish fingers. I selected the Fish preset and adjusted the temperature from 170ºC to 200ºC, and the time from 30 minutes to 12 minutes. If I was to oven cook fish fingers, they'd be cooked at 220ºC for 15 minutes. I placed two fish fingers into basket B.
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. Circulating hot air from all directions, made-from-scratch chips will be evenly cooked, crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle with just one teaspoon of oil, frozen chips need no oil whatsoever, and it’ll make lighter-than-usual versions of lots of other foods too. Whether you want to upgrade to a newer model, or your air-fryer has reached the end of its life, knowing how and where to dispose of your appliance is important to avoid creating more e-waste.Other foods I've attempted to make in this air fryer are air fryer pancakes for Pancake Day (rather unsuccessfully) and a tuna melt toastie. Although I should add that my results with the former had nothing to do with the performance of the air fryer and more to do with the foods I was trying to cook and the chef's abilities. Our signature touch-activated display illuminates only when you need it. No dials, buttons or knobs
The overall design of the Swan Duo Digital Air Fryer is so-so, and it's bulky. Measuring 32.2 x 44.5 x 36.6cm (h x w x l) and weighing in at 8.96kg, it takes up a fair amount of countertop space, and would prove heavy to move around. As such, it's difficult to store, and is probably best left in one position on the counter. Get ready for guilt-free fry days! The Lakeland Touchscreen Air Fryer cooks with little or no oil so you can enjoy lighter versions of all your favourite foods without sacrificing the flavour.As fantastic as they are for making ‘healthier chips’ with barely a drop of fat, some air fryers can swallow up all of your worktop space, which is why we’re absolutely delighted with our Digital Compact Air Fryer – it cooks two generous portions of lighter, golden, crispy fries without taking over your kitchen.
