These have slide-out baskets or trays that slot into place inside. As they tend to have a smaller cooking area than oven-style fryers, in testing we found even results were more likely if the cooking was paused occasionally to rearrange or toss the food around. Some fryers will cut out automatically when you do this, some will need to be paused if you want accurate timings.

While the air fryer can essentially cook anything, not everything comes out cooked perfectly. I had a go at cooking an egg on toast, but the final result didn't compare to a fried egg cooked in a pan. Additionally, I found that air fried halloumi wasn't as tasty as it is when pan-fried; it seemed to dry out a little, even when I added extra olive oil to it before air frying.Pretty much anything that can go in an oven can be cooked in an air fryer. Things like bacon and breaded or battered bits will crisp up nicely, tasting exactly like they’ve been deep-fried — when of course, minimal to no oil has been used in the cooking process.

With this manual process, the Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK doesn’t pause when it’s time to add food. To avoid forgetting to add food, if you’re going to use pre-heat, set the timer for three minutes; when the air fryer beeps to let you know it’s ready, just reset your cooking mode and temperature, drop your food in and start cooking. While the Ninja AF100UK has got an elegant shape and robust design, it is a little inconvenient that the edges of the removable food basket don’t sit flush against the rest of the machine. That said, this flaw doesn’t affect the air fryer’s overall performance, only its aesthetic. Is a 3.8 litre air fryer big enough?

Results were better than in an oven, but high-temperature air fryers can do a better job, although you’ll have to pay a lot more for the privilege. Surprisingly, my favourite thing to air fry so far has been a banana. I chopped the ends off a ripe banana and sliced it vertically but not going all the way through the fruit. I added a little Nutella and popped it in the air fryer for six minutes. Inside the peel, which did turn a dark colour during the cooking process, was a delicious, warm, caramelised banana split that actually didn't even need the extra chocolate.Ninja recommends a three-minute warm-up time, which has to be applied manually, before adding food. On the more expensive products, such as the Ninja Foodi MAX Health Grill & Air Fryer AG551UKDBCP, there’s an automatic preheat. 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.
