Like many others, we found an air fryer to be a very convenient addition to our kitchen, and since we introduced one, we have used ours at least a couple of times a week. Although my wife has never had cause to complain about the end product, i.e. the food, she has frequently felt the need to mention that the food capacity in our current air fryer was way too small, and I’m not going to get into the words sometimes mentioned before and during cleaning it.

The main reason to buy this air fryer is the flexibility that comes with being able to split the basket into two zones. But having to cook at the same temperature on both sides, combined with the frustrations I experienced with the perforated dividers, leaves me thinking you’d be better off foregoing the flexible zones. And instead plumping for either a decent size single zone or a good dual zone air fryer. Firstly, there's nothing the air fryer can do that another appliance can't do, albeit more slowly. Then there's the issue of sustainability. Why use resources to produce more plastic – which will eventually go to landfill – when you have the means to duplicate its function already? There is also a question of how long it will last. Our expert testing tells us that a high-end oven can last 20 years. Air fryers are still relatively new so we don't have the data on how long they last before they need replacing, but some enthusiastic users report needing to find a replacement every two years.

Cook Healthy and Delicious Meals with Ease There are a couple of cooking charts in the instruction manual and they offer suggested time and temperature settings for a variety of basic foods. But generally speaking, it’s quite a basic set of instructions. I should say that because the manual says preheating is optional, I didn’t preheat the air fryer for any of the foods I cooked in it. What's it like to use?I have been using it every day at leat once for 3 weeks, and have previously owned another brand one for 2 years. Whether you want to upgrade to a newer model, or your air-fryer has reached the end of its life, knowing how and where to dispose of your appliance is important to avoid creating more e-waste. To make life even simpler, the Russell Hobb’s Satisfry Snappi come with eight one-touch cooking presets: The super shiny plastic exterior marks with fingerprints very easily, so ideally you’ll want a microfibre cloth to wipe it over and keep it smear-free. Should you buy the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer?

In the dual-compartment mode, the baskets can be used completely independently from each other. It is a genius design, particularly when batch cooking, as once one food has been cooked, its basket can be removed without disturbing the other and filled with another food, continuing the cooking flow. From a digital air fryer to our multi-functional Salter Professional AeroGrills, our air fryers comes in many different sizes and styles – so you can choose the one that suits your needs and kitchen the best. When I brought up the topic of writing a review on the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi and told her about some of its features, it was music to her ears. Before I tell you about our experience using it, I want to highlight the features that make the Satisfry Air Snappi somewhat of a game-changer.Can it be repaired independently?

Mini oven’ types: these models use convection or fan technology to cook food on flat, slide-in trays. As well as roasting, their extra air-frying functions circulate hot air around the food for more efficient crisping. These took up the space of an average-sized microwave. Some may also include rotisserie elements. First up I set it up as two cooking zones in preparation to heat up some chilled fishcakes alongside roasting some cherry tomatoes. I added around 500g cherry tomatoes that I’d coated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasonings. But before I put them in, I removed the perforated tray so that they were sitting on the solid base. For instance, try to find any other multi-functional oven that will work in air fryer mode while using the rotisserie ! The time is adjusted via up and down arrows on the left, and the temperature has similar controls on the right. Once you’ve set these for basket 1 on the left, you simply press 2 and adjust the time for the basket on the right. But when you’re setting the timer for basket 2, the time is displayed next to the temperature controls which is super confusing the first couple of times until you get used to it. Since that groundbreaking day in Berlin, the world has changed significantly, and knowledge of how to keep the body healthy has expanded exponentially. It’s now common knowledge that people need to cook food in a healthier way, and eating ultra-processed microwavable foods does more harm than good to one’s health. In addition, there has been a staggering rise in the cost of living, particularly the seemingly constant increase in energy costs.

The reason this is significant for this particular model is because the dividers between the two sides are perforated. Plus there’s only one heating element at the top, so any food in the air fryer will start cooking even if the timer isn’t counting down for that side. We believe Russell Hobb’s new Satisfry Snappi air fryer will be a brilliant addition to the kitchen, and having one to cook with will no doubt help to keep the body and finances in better shape. Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi – Where and how? In addition to producing great-tasting food, its flexibility and ease of cleaning, the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi brings another significant benefit to the kitchen table, and that’s its ability to save money on energy costs. According to Russell Hobbs, the Satisfry Air Snappi fries your food up to 76% faster when compared to a conventional oven, which will help save up to 58% on energy costs.

For a similar price you can buy the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Basket Air Fryer, which has a slightly reduced capacity at 7.6 litres. But it’s got a lot going for it. In addition to air frying, you can use it to roast, bake, dehydrate, grill and reheat. What’s more, it allows you to cook using a different mode and temperature in each basket. And the viewing windows allow you to see your food while it cooks. But, unlike the Russell Hobbs Satisfry you can’t combine the two zones into one larger single zone. Overall, the air fryer took four of the heats, and drew on a fifth, clearly coming out ahead of the more conventional cooking methods. If that was the only consideration I'd be a convert, but there are other factors that are important to me. I did notice that after being in the dishwasher, water would drip from the handles onto my worktop. I think water gets trapped inside the handle and takes a while to get out again. So if you’ve got wooden worktops or you’re super fussy about pristine worktops, this little puddle will get on your nerves and you’d be better off hand washing the baskets. In addition, the air fryer has a manual mode, which allows the user to set temperatures from 30-200°C in 5°C increments giving them complete control over the cooking. The air fryer also has a food indicator function, and if you are adding foods at different times, the indicator is smart enough to pause mid-cycle, informing you of when it is time to start cooking the next ingredient.These two factors are likely why Russell Hobbs has designed and launched its innovative new air fryer. All the removable parts can go in the dishwasher. It does take up a fair bit of space in the dishwasher, but when it’s split into two, there’s a bit more scope to squeeze it in amongst the other things. Overall I found it easy and convenient to clean.
