Product Information

I was particularly impressed with how it cooked the pain au chocolat as it was so much better than the oven. The only frustration was not being able to cook them all at once, but I would certainly try layering them next time to see if the bottom layer still cooked as well. I think if you were totally new to the world of air fryers, you might be left with a few questions if you want to do anything more than cooking the basics with the basket and crisping plate provided. The digital display has 10 different pre-set functions that appear when you turn the fryer on, and it’s also really easy to set your own time and temperature, depending on what you’re cooking. Easy to use and easy to clean. Our air fryers come with removable crisping plates and baskets so you can simply remove them and pop them in the dishwasher. And with little or no oil to dispose of, they’ll be no fighting over whose turn it is to do the dishes! Should you go for a basket/drawer air fryer? An air fryer oven? Or how about a lid type? There’s just too much choice.

The Satisfry range also has an intuitive design, meaning each one is easy to use allowing you to set it to the time and cooking function you require at the touch of a button. Pre-set functions mean you don’t have to think too much about how to cook your food - so even if you’re not a confident cook, an air fryer will make everything taste just right. So we’re putting a variety of different air fryers through their paces in our round-up of the best air fryers to see how they cope with cooking our favourite vegan air fryer recipes. Although this air fryer perhaps didn’t cook chips as well as some of the other ones that I’ve tested, and the instruction manual could definitely do with some expanding, it has got many great qualities.

When the shake timer went off at 6 minutes, I opened the drawer to find three pain au chocolat that had perfectly puffed up and were already starting to brown quite a lot on top. In comparison, the ones in the oven at this point were flat and very pale.

I turned the air fryer temperature down to 165°C for the rest of the time as I didn’t want them to burn. After 12 minutes they were perfectly cooked. The ones in the oven, however, needed a few minutes longer. Although that could say more about my oven than anything else in truth.

One of my favourite functions of this air fryer is the ‘shake’ reminder halfway through cooking, as it not only prompts you to shake the food to make sure everything is cooking evenly, but it allows you to assess the temperature and timings, and adjust your expectations accordingly. The premise of an air fryer being healthier revolves around its ability to fry food without any added oils.A Russell Hobbs air fryer can save you up to as much as 68% energy* compared to a conventional oven. So not only can you save money on eating in, but it can also help reduce your energy bills.

If you live alone, are a couple or just struggle to prepare home-cooked meals, then an air fryer can make all the difference. They take the hassle and mess out of cooking and produce healthy and hearty options you otherwise may not bother making. I was keen to see how good the air fryer was at baking, so decided to put it to the test with some accidentally vegan Jus-Rol Pain au Chocolat. We judge the air fryers on how well they cook the food, how crisp the finish is, how long food takes to cook, how easy the machine is to use, how easy is it to clean, and how many extra capabilities/functions it has. It covers the basic things you need to know – such as how to position the crisping plate so that it sits higher or lower in the basket, and what the different preset functions mean – but it doesn’t go into much depth and certainly doesn’t include any recipes.

I also loved the shake function, which encourages you to keep an eye on how your food is cooking, and also makes sure everything is cooking evenly. And the fact it then turns off once the cooking time is up means that you don’t risk burning anything if you’re not concentrating, or don’t hear the timer. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the instruction booklet that comes with the fryer. Though we set out to try each function, we haven’t yet had the opportunity to test the slow cook option, nor have we determined whether the cooker really is capable of baking a cake.
