Once the scone dough was ready, we moulded it into scone-shaped circles and placed it in the air fryer basket, which was lined with baking paper. We gave the scones a brush of plant milk to help give the outside a golden glow. With over 15 fryers to choose from, we took the brand’s most popular air fryer – the EK4548 Dual – for a test drive. Synchronized and matched cooking functions allow both compartments to be ready at the same time with a pause and resume temperature function.

Salter Dual Cook Pro air fryer review - Reviews | BBC Good Food

We know that the size and the price of the air fryer may be the deciding factor for many. If you live on your own or have a smaller family, the EK4548 may be considered excessive. Additionally, if your kitchen counter size is limited, this could be impractical. Out of the box, I was taken away by the size of the Salter EK4548 Dual Air Fryer. I was slightly worried that it wouldn’t fit between my kitchen counter and cupboards, but it ended up being ok. It’s a consideration for a smaller kitchen, though. A healthy alternative to frying, the Dual Cook Pro requires little to no oil, keeping the same great taste for the whole family. I did find this to be slightly temperamental. Sometimes there was a slight delay when hitting the buttons, which meant I had to adjust the temperature and time several times before reaching the correct figures. The adjustable temperature and 60-minute timer give you control over each compartment allowing you to cook different foods together.

Match cook’ sets both cooking compartments to the temperature and time if you’re cooking the same food across both baskets. This is handy if you’ve got lots of friends coming around and want to cook up large portions of food without the need to batch cook. A handy function is the ‘sync cook’ and ‘match cook’ settings. When cooking different foods at different times and temperatures, the ‘sync’ setting means both compartments will finish cooking at the same time which is a great way to avoid food in one side getting cold whilst the other side is still cooking. With a two-basket design, this 8.2L fryer features two independent 4.1L frying trays, ideal for cooking different foods or double servings.

Features and Benefits You’re instructed to clean the cooking baskets with hot soapy water and give the outer casing a wash to remove any dust. It is recommended that the air fryer runs for 10 minutes without food before first use, this is to prevent any initial odours or smoke from affecting the food – this is normal. Presets and functions First, we cut the potatoes into medium strips and soaked them in hot water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Once they were soaked, we removed them and dried them with a cloth so that they were dry before spraying them with olive oil spray (we used approximately 6-8 sprays). One thing that was missing was an auto-switch-off function that turns the air fryer off once the food is cooked. We find this to be a godsend to avoid food from overcooking. Additionally, the Salter Dual Air Fryer comes with a recipe book to get you started. Although there are only a few vegan air fryer recipes, the book includes an in-depth chart that gives recommendations on how to cook specific ingredients, including what temperature to use, ingredient amount, cooking time, and how much oil is required.Although it may seem basic, we wanted to put the salter air fryer to the test to cook the humble chip. As one of the most popular foods to cook in an air fryer, we wanted to see if the EK4548 could deliver crispy golden chips only using a small amount of oil. Versatile– With adjustable temperature control as well as pause and resume cooking functions, cook a huge range of different foods. We were big fans of the dual drawers and the freedom to cook different foods at different temperatures. Although we had to wait slightly longer for the chips to be cooked, we were willing to look past that and overall were pleased with the speed and quality that it cooked the food. Not only is it a stylish piece of kit, but its multi-functional cooking capability makes cooking simple. When looking for the best air fryer, we usually buy from brands that we recognise.
