Tefal Easy Fry 3-in-1 XXL Digital Air Fryer, Grill and Steamer 6.2L Capacity 7 Programs inc Dehydrator Black FW201, 1700 W

Product Information

Depending on the capacity and type of fryer, they either roast a whole chicken or cook chicken kievs, monitoring how long it takes for the chicken to reach 75C. Air frying bacon took 8 minutes at 190oC, there’s easily enough space for four slices, but if you overlap them slightly you can probably squeeze in six. It can bake, air fry and roast for a fraction of the cost of a traditional oven, and in much less time.

The large, touchscreen interface, gives you easy one-touch power control and precise temperature and timer functions, with an incredible 10 different pre-set cooking modes right at your fingertips!We’ve become big fans of the best air fryers, mainly because they can cook things like French fries, chicken wings and spring rolls fast and efficiently. Unlike a conventional microwave this has an electric element inside, so make sure you don't reach in with a cloth and touch this if you’ve been cooking with convection heat for example. Side note, the instructions recommend that you use purified water in the water tank, like we’ve all got some of that kicking around. Find your nearest electrical recycling point, or read our guide on how to donate or dispose of your appliances and tech for extra guidance. Not to mention, most air fryers are an expensive initial investment, meaning it will take a while for savings on your energy bill to cancel out their cost.

Top marks to Sage for producing something so good to look at and managing to pack in a bumper collection of intuitive controls too. If however, you don’t think you’ll get much use from the steam and grill functions then it may be unnecessarily bulky. Our chips were fluffy too, but crisped up best when distributed across two drawers, rather than cramming lots into one.

Similarly, the steam function, which pulls water from the top of the appliance, worked well and did a great job of steaming broccoli, which came out tender and perfectly cooked in around ten minutes. However, by adding water and vinegar to the water tank, it also works to descale the internal steamer parts, which is important to maintain optimum performance, so I would use it for that reason. Like our top-scorer, it has two drawers and a sync function, so you can cook two different foods at once, safe in the knowledge they’ll both be ready to eat at the same time. Air Fry Mode cooks with hot air circulation and less oil; one press to add additional steam during air frying for a juicier taste. Our chips came out well cooked but – and we’re being picky here – about 20% lacked that golden brown shade we were looking for.
