Product Information

I recently tried the Quest 35399 20L Mini Countertop Oven and found it to be quite an impressive appliance. Its compact size is perfect for small kitchens or as an additional portable oven. Offering different cooking modes, such as grill, bake, toast, and rotisserie, this mini oven provides versatility that makes it a helpful addition to my cooking routine.

Compared with the Cuisinart Air Fryer, the Russell Hobbs 26095 has a smaller capacity of 12.6 litres, which may be more suitable for individuals or couples. It also includes 5 functions: air fry, bake, grill, toast, and keep warm, which are slightly fewer than the Cuisinart Air Fryer. However, the Russell Hobbs 26095 has a 4x faster preheat than an oven and is 60% more energy-efficient than a conventional oven, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.Circulating convection airflow ensures fast, even cooking, 5 functions, 4x faster preheat than an oven Different mini ovens come with various cooking functions, such as convection, grilling, and even rotisserie. Before buying, I make a list of the functions I want and compare mini ovens based on those features. Function

The Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer is a neat variation on the theme because it comes with twin cooking compartments. This allows you to an entire meal in one go by taking care of, say, fries in one side and a juicy salmon fillet in the other. You can mix and match the arrangement to suit your tastes and hunger pangs. There are presets if you want to take the easy route, or the machine can be manually configured to cook things just as you like them. In my search for the best mini oven in the UK, I found that there are quite a few options available. Each has its own set of features and unique characteristics that cater to different needs and preferences. When shopping for the best mini oven, there are a few important factors I consider. Here’s what I personally look for to find the perfect kitchen addition. Alternatives to Mini OvensWhile the Russell Hobbs Express Air Fry Mini Oven is more than capable of serving up a solid portion of fries, this is also a multi-function device that lets you cook in several different ways. That means air frying, grilling, baking and toasting can be carried out. Meanwhile it's also nifty for warming food and keep it that way using the convection heat. The appliance is particularly adept at cooking pizza, so for anyone who lives by a diet of pizza and chips then the appeal is obvious. The grill trays allow you to easily dispense with oil though, making things that little bit more healthy. While there are certainly air fryers that do more, and more affordable ones, if you have the money this is still the best 'air fryer that only air fries' you can buy. Given that it does essentially the same thing as Tower's air fryers but costs 4-5 times as much, you need to feel assured you're getting your money's worth this upmarket Philips model. Well, thanks to its excellent build quality, good looks, fast and even cooking and deliciously crisp results, we'd say you can feel thoroughly reassured on that score. The Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 has a 6-litre capacity (6.34 quartz in American measures), which is an ideal size for soloists, couples and one-child families. Its three main cooking modes – pressure cooking, combo-steam and air fry – are selected by moving the ‘SmartLid Slider’ from left to right, and each main mode is subdivided into various cooking methods like steam air fry, standard air fry, steam bake, grill, sear, steam, slow cook and standard pressure cooking. However, it's more of a convection mini oven than an air fryer, but it is still pretty versatile. The controls require a bit of practice to master depending on how you like your food to be cooked. Those controls are quite good fun actually and make a change from touchscreens and LCDs. There’s more good news too, as Russell Hobbs claims it boasts a speedier preheat that’s up to four times faster than a conventional oven. The figure is based on a conventional electric oven when preheating to 220°C. To look at it is certainly more oven in design than air fryer, with access to the cooking area gained from the front via a glass door that opens downwards. There's no noisy fan either.
