You can operate it from a smartphone too, which is a fun bonus, though for safety reasons it has to be switched on manually. litre capacity tray has nice high sides that allows room for cakes to rise and small whole chickens to roast.

All you need to apply is to have a debit or credit card, to be over 18 years of age, and to be a UK resident. But both the preset times and temperatures are higher and longer than they need to be, so we recommend reducing the cooking time and temperatures slightly to avoid any overcooking or burning.

capacity means you can comfortably cook for the whole family, featuring the 4-in-1 versatility: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat, and Dehydrate. These gadgets are much faster to heat up and designed to circulate hot air efficiently, meaning food can be cooked much quicker than in a traditional oven. One thing about crowd-pleasers is they generate the desire in people to press their nose up to the glass. The box itself explains all options: max crisp, air-fry, bake, reheat and dehydrate but, if you’re too excited to bother, a comprehensive quick-start guide and instruction booklet will do the same.

With a large capacity you get a large footprint, and there's no denying that a large amount of counter space is needed to accommodate this air-fryer. We loved its tall, compact design and simple touchscreen, which displays 12 cooking functions – from chicken, steak and seafood, to vegetables and fries. Air-fryers vary in their energy efficiency, but it is possible to calculate how much energy an appliance will use, which in turn will help you cost up the impact it’ll have on your bills.Healthy cooking method: Use 85% less oil than traditionally deep-fried food, allowing you to enjoy the same delicious crispy fried foods with less fat. If you have a smart meter installed at home, you’ll be able to see the cost per use during cooking without having to calculate it. Always check the size as the capacity varies enormously – important if you’re feeding the masses or just want dinner for one.

As for what you can cook with them, air-fryer chicken breasts, halloumi, doughnuts, buffalo cauliflower wings and, of course, air fried chips can all be made using air crisp functions.We looked at how evenly they ‘fried’ and whether they were brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Much like other Ninja products we've tried, we were impressed with the packaging which was largely cardboard and paper with very little plastic. If you have the space on your countertop for another boxy appliance, Breville’s latest air-fryer is a statement multifunctional gadget that, when on, will draw attention from across the room. When the ingredients need to be rotated or shook during cooking, it chimes loudly until you open the door – this ensures more even cooking, though it's a feature we find rarely with other air-fryers. Evenly browned chips with a crisp exterior and good flavour before seasoning are what we look for from each model tested.
