Despite its large footprint and some initial difficulty with the match and sync functions, which allow you to finish cooking different foods at the same time, we were able to master the controls fairly quickly. The Dash Compact is a good air fryer for people who cook for one or for someone who's new to air frying and wants to try it out. We also like that it has only four preprogrammed settings: frozen fries, chicken, fish, and meat, all of which you access through a single dial on the control panel. It crisps food quickly and evenly, and its interface is straightforward and minimal (though the manual dials can be difficult to turn).

Only one spoonful of oil is enough to whip up delicious dishes such as stir-fries, roast potatoes and curries. Style: There are several styles of air fryer now on the market, including microwave air fryer combos and electric ranges that have air fry capabilities, but we've focused on countertop models here.Our salmon fillet also had even browning, crisp skin and a good crust on the top, but the real winner was chicken breast, which was among some of the best air-fryer chicken we've ever tasted: juicy, tender and packed with flavour. She has worked in test kitchens for small kitchen appliance brands and national magazines, including Family Circle and Ladies’ Home Journal. Larger-capacity pod-shaped air fryers—anything beyond about 5 quarts—tend to take longer to cook and do so less evenly.

DIGITAL: Turn our compact air fryers digital LED control wheel to select preset meal function and frying begins!

Instant shows up on our list again, because it's created an appliance that delivers on both pressure cooking and air frying. We cooked BBC Good Food’s basic omelette in each pan, making a note of how long the pan took to pre-heat. This design of this simple-looking non-stick frying pan from KitchenAid seems a departure from their usually brightly coloured kitchen appliances, but on closer inspection it’s clear to see this pan has a high-quality finish.

The ability to accurately adjust the temperature with subtle precision, even after cooking over high heat, will provide you with the greatest overall control, transforming your everyday cooking. Thanks to its ceramic, highly reinforced, three-layer non-stick coating, both the omelette and the pancakes lifted quickly and easily when turning and plating. We particularly liked the soft-grip handle, which gave a secure grip when carrying and stayed cool during cooking. Our chips were a pale golden colour after 25 mins at 190C (using the 'fries' preset), and had a fluffy middle and crisp, well-sealed exterior.Enjoy juicy steaks, burgers and chicken breasts, crisp quesadillas, homemade sweet potato fries, perfectly-cooked prawns, flaky fish and even give your favourite toasted sandwich a crispy finish. The chicken legs we roasted were juicy inside and evenly cooked, while the chips in the next drawer required a little more attention with shakes mid-cook, but had a good crisp finish on the outside.
