Air fryers are fast proving to be one of the must-have kitchen gadgets of 2023. Since Phillips manufactured the first one in 2010, they have been gaining popularity, and they're so easy to use it's not hard to see why.
They work by using hot air to cook food, which means it's ready more quickly. But they're also more energy efficient than many other methods of cooking.
It's been reported that nearly a third of UK households own an air fryer, with TikTok and Instagram buzzing with new recipe ideas for air frying converts. So if you've decided now is the time for you to join them, help is at hand.
