Some folks say we’re living in the digital age or the Smart age, but here at ES Best, we’d argue that within this era is another notable slice to time, defined by the air fryer.
The convenient kitchen gadget have been enjoying a moment for the last few years, but demand has really ramped up against the cost of living crisis. In fact fresh research from Samsung has found that four in 10 UK adults are using air fryers as a healthier hack to cooking fried treats at home - think chips, steak, cookies and doughnuts.
Aside from the obvious health benefits of cooking with a fraction of the oil, these machines are cheaper to run than a conventional oven and cook food in less time, making it an economical choice if you’re looking for ways to bring down your household bills or if you live in a small household.
In fact, according to moneysavingexpert.com, air fryers can cost only 34p per hour to run against an average of 68p for a conventional oven, with one forum user claiming to “have cut my electric use by a third since getting my Ninja Multi Cooker”, well regarded as one of the best on the market.
Throughout 2022, big brands have launched new models while canny shoppers waited patiently for sales to pounce on their air fryer of choice. So don’t wait. Make the most of the Boxing Day sales to get your hands on the sought-after device.

Tefal Actifry Genius XL 2in1 YV970840 Air Fryer - Black
The cooking zones in Tefal’s unit are stacked instead of sitting side-by-side, resulting in a compact look that will work well for kitchens on the smaller side. A single spoonful of oil is all you need for fantastically crispy results on everything from fries, chicken wings, stews and couscous. This machine includes an intergrated paddle to stir the food while cooking so it will achieve maximum levels of crispiness.
If you’re not sure about air fryer cooking times, a good rule of thumb is to halve the times food would need in a coventional oven. However, this machine eliminates doubt with nine cooking pre-sets to help get your meal ready quickly.
