Get ready for guilt-free fry days! The Lakeland Touchscreen Air Fryer cooks with little or no oil so you can enjoy lighter versions of all your favourite foods without sacrificing the flavour.

The touch screen interface of an air fryer should make it easy to use and navigate. Look for an air fryer with a clear, intuitive display that allows you to easily select cooking options and adjust settings. Some air fryers even come with voice commands, making it even easier to use. Brand and PriceBecause you use virtually no oil during cooking, air fryers are relatively easy to clean. On most models, the crisper drawer and tray can be removed and simply hand-washed in hot soapy water. To clean the base unit and control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing. Job done. Which air fryer is best for me? I cooked chips and fish regularly in the air fryer using the dedicated presets. I also successfully made a toastie – and, not-so-successfully, some pancakes, for which I toggled through the temperature / timer button until I reached the desired settings. Basket style with heating elements: tall, slim air-fryers feature a main unit with heating elements and fans. 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.

Touch screen air fryers come with a range of different features, so it's important to consider what you'll be using your air fryer for. Some models come with preset cooking programs for specific foods, while others allow you to customize the cooking time and temperature. Look for an air fryer with features that match your cooking needs. Ease of Use In addition, the maximum temperature of 200ºC falls short of the 220ºC of some other air fryers I've tested. Again, this could prove limiting for those following a recipe that requires a higher heat.Circulating hot air from all directions, made-from-scratch chips will be evenly cooked, crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle with just one teaspoon of oil, frozen chips need no oil whatsoever, and it’ll make lighter-than-usual versions of lots of other foods too.
