I was impressed that the air fryer had baked the oats quicker than my gas oven, helping me save precious time in the morning and reduce my gas usage. It also features 8 preset cooking functions to save you on guesstimating and it also allows you to set a cooking timer for up to 30 minutes. It uses much less oil than a conventional deep fat fryer, ensuring healthier meals with maintained flavour. The component parts felt good quality, didn’t overheat and the results of our test proved well done. capacity cooking space means you can cook food for the whole family or a large group of friends easily.

I chopped two potatoes into chips and soaked them in hot water for 10 minutes to remove the excess starch. The panel was touch-sensitive and pretty self-explanatory with the air fryer’s 12 preset functions signalled by small icons.

We used the Sync Cook setting to cook both the chicken and chips at the same time on different settings. Usually, baked oats take roughly 20-25 minutes to cook in the oven, so I was hoping that the AeroGrill would cook them faster. Multifunctional all-in-one kitchen appliances are top of many people’s wishlists, and for a good reason – they save both space and money! Temperature Control - The fryer's temperature can be adjusted to between 80 and 200 degrees Celsius. Easy to use thanks to its 30 minute timer, adjustable temperature settings and indicator lights, the fryer circulates hot air around the chamber for a thorough, rapid cook.

There was a slight awkwardness when lifting the lid, but simply rotating the air fryer 90 degrees before use will resolve that issue – problem solved! The chicken was slightly uneven in its appearance after cooking and the end closest to the back was darkened, though not overdone. The Salter EK2817 is a compact air fryer with a large 2 litre capacity and a number of well designed features. If you’re cooking double quantities, the match-cook setting saves you from having to programme the drawers twice.It’s also more compact than you’d expect, measuring 40cm in length, 36cm in width and 32cm in height.

This is not intended to be a full statement of your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. We particularly like the temperature control function, the 30 minute timer, the fast preheat time and the easy to clean cooking pot. With dual-drawer air fryers, you can cook two different dishes at the same time, with the gadget doing the timing work for you to ensure everything’s finished at the same time.

We added one whole small chicken into one drawer and raw chipped potatoes tossed in one tbsp of oil into the other.
