Air fryers have become quite the cooking sensation over the last few years, and it's easy to see why - by circulating hot air evenly from every direction, it cooks your favourite foods using little to no oil, meaning less fat and less grease. What really sets this Cosori air-fryer apart is its clever technology – the patented dual heating elements allow for even browning on both sides, so no shaking or stirring is required as you cook. It barely dropped any points in our chips and cupcake tests, with both emerging evenly cooked thanks to outstanding air circulation.

Grills have always been cleaned straight away and even then it’s often tough to clean if a liner isn’t used.

But those minor quibbles aside, it’s easy to use and comes with detailed instructions (both physical and via a QR code that takes you to video tutorials).

On test, it delivered delicious chips and scored perfect marks for its fairy cakes, although we were unable to bulk bake as we could only fit five in at a time. We found the browning to be a little inconsistent when air-frying salmon and chicken breasts, and our aubergine – while flavoursome – lacked the restaurant-style grill marks we were hoping for.

This air fryer is a good alternative if you’re cooking for one or two, or don’t have room for a dual-drawer model.
