Why air fryers?
Air fryers use rapid hot air to crisp food with minimal oil. They preheat in minutes and handle everything from chips to chicken wings.

Key buying tips
- Capacity: 4 litres suits 1–2 people; 6+ litres for families.
- Basket vs drawer: Basket models are easier to shake mid-cook.
- Dishwasher-safe parts save significant cleanup time.
- Wattage: Higher wattage cooks faster but draws more power from a single socket.
