Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to UK destinations. When we review air-fryers, each model goes through several tests: making chips, roasting chicken, grilling halloumi and aubergine, and even baking cake, where possible, to test all functions. After a brief flick through of the manual we were able to get cooking pretty quickly thanks to the easy set up. Every air fryer in our roundup has been tested hands-on by the Ideal Hometeam for a minimum of two weeks, or using four thorough recipes, in line with our testing protocol.

The control panel has a bar that shows the cooking progress, and we like that this air fryer pre-heats. This way, you will be able to cook fries, chicken wings, chicken, fish, steak, biscuits, pizza, bread and cake, as well as grill, bake and dehydrate, quickly and easily by simply pressing the corresponding button on its LED touch screen. It's a small thing but the included recipe book will go far for those users who aren't familiar with their air fryer yet.

Fruit leather is an excellent way to make the most of a dehydrate function if you have a hand blender, blender or food processor at home, or for an umami-kick try dehydrating tomatoes or mushrooms.

The products you'll find below are undoubtedly the very best air fryers on the market right now, with ease of use, value for money and functionality all assessed within this guide. For smaller quantities and specific ingredients, air-fryers will be switched on for considerably less time, which equates to less electricity consumption.So if you’ve got a family, then a 5 litre machine (which usually provides a chip capacity of around 800g to 1kg) is probably a must. Air fryers or hot air ovens like the LLIVEKIT 26L ensure that your food is cooked without oil and excess fat, making it healthier.
