FAQs
1. What size air fryer do I need for a family?
For a family of four, a 7 to 9.5-litre air fryer gives enough capacity to cook full meals in one go, like the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone 9.5L, which cooks two foods at once. For singles or couples, a compact 4 to 5-litre model such as the Ninja Pro Single Drawer 4.7L is plenty.
2. Is an air fryer or a slow cooker better?
They do different jobs an air fryer is best for quick, crispy foods like chips, chicken and roast veg, while a slow cooker like the Morphy Richards 6.5L is ideal for hands-off stews, curries and one-pot dinners. Many households find the two complement each other rather than replace one another.
3. Do air fryers need oil?
Air fryers need little to no oil a light spray or a teaspoon is usually enough for crispiness, since they circulate hot air rather than submerging food in oil. That's what makes them a healthier alternative to deep-fat frying.
4. What's the best air fryer for a college student?
