Salter Dual Air review Review | Trusted Reviews

With over 15 fryers to choose from, we took the brand’s most popular air fryer – the EK4548 Dual – for a test drive. With a two-basket design, this 8.2L fryer features two independent 4.1L frying trays, ideal for cooking different foods or double servings. The adjustable temperature and 60-minute timer give you control over each compartment allowing you to cook different foods together.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. 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.

Finally, we put the chips into the preheated air fryer and cooked them on the ‘chips’ preset at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. Enjoy healthy alternative to deep frying with this versatile frying alternative. Salter 8.2L dual cook pro air fryer gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to cook with little or no oil while still retaining plenty of flavour. Some other foods were less impressive. I couldn’t get frozen hash browns to crisp up quite as much as I wanted, for example. Doubtless the limited top temperature is partly to blame here, but I did get perfect results from the Proscenic T22, which only goes 5℃ hotter. And while corn on the cob was fine, it wasn’t browned evenly and as deliciously caramelised as you might get from a grill. Still, it did a good job when cooking Quorn sausages from frozen. 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. 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.It’s a proper piece of kit, with a full touchscreen LED display filled with buttons, which is almost intimidating. But thankfully the instructions are thorough and talk you through each of the functions and buttons. 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. And while I’m grumbling, this air fryer’s two baskets feature a dual-skinned front that stays reasonably cool in use, but neither the baskets nor their food trays are dishwasher safe. If you’re as lazy as me when it comes to washing up, that could be a pain. Finally, there’s no shake reminder, which would be helpful to ensure even browning on foods. Uses little or no oil – The fantastic Salter 8.2L dual cook pro air fryer is a healthy way to cook your favourite foods using little to no oil.

Salter Introducing | Dual Air Fryer | Modern Kitchen

Upping the game ahead of Christmas dinner, I tested out Brussels sprouts cooked with bacon. This time, too long meant they'd reduced to barely the size of a pea and were very crispy. By Christmas Day, I’d figured out the perfect cooking time of 10 minutes and they were plenty flavourful. Bacon is also a great meat to cook in the air fryer if you like it crispy, but a beefburger dried out and didn’t retain its moisture, so it was almost inedible. The Salter Dual Air is much like any other air fryer to use, although there’s some added complexity given that you need to set programmes for each basket. Like many other air fryers, it offers a battery of preset modes for various food types. While these might be useful once you come to learn them, I generally found it easier to use the manual mode to dial up the temperature and time I wanted. 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.Just as I found with the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, you’re likely to use the Dual Air’s sync mode a lot when preparing a meal. It’s extremely helpful to dial up two different programmes, then just start the Dual Air running and have it deliver everything ready at the same time. Sometimes you’ll want greater flexibility, though, and this fryer offers it. You can essentially programme each side completely independently of the other. For example, you could bake for 40 minutes in tray two, while you cook a series of other foods in tray one.
