14 best air fryers for fast, crisp cooking, tested by experts

From pizza to chips, and joints of meat, the humble air fryer can do it all - (The Independent)

Air fryers have evolved far beyond their original claim to fame as a shortcut for crispy chips. These days, the best air fryers can roast, bake, grill, dehydrate and reheat with impressive speed, making them one of the hardest-working appliances in the kitchen. So, whether you're weighing up one of the best dual air fryers for family meals or a compact option for solo cooking, you’ll be pleased to find there’s a model to suit almost every household and home.

By rapidly circulating hot air, air fryers deliver crisp, golden results using little to no oil while also consuming less energy than a full-sized oven. They also heat up much faster, making them ideal for everything from week-night dinners to leftovers. Together with an air fryer cookbook, you'll quickly realise these appliances are capable of tackling pretty much everything, from roast dinners to cakes.
