Product Information

The Tower T17076 Xpress Pro Combo 10-in-1 Digital Air Fryer can tackle an impressive range of cooking tasks, assisted by plenty of accessories.

However, it should be noted that we’ve routinely found it available for much less, either due to sales and discounts. I thought I could get away with tipping out my brunch potatoes and hash browns I made only for the crispy crumbs to also topple out. A tip: Don’t make the same mistake we did and think you have to press any buttons after food is inserted - it will just reset the whole air fryer. I lightly sprayed some potato wedges and added sea salt and paprika to add to our lunch- and they were so tasty and took just 20 mins.

While the Salter comes with a recipe booklet, there will obviously be some of your favourite recipes that aren’t included. Cooking for 20 minutes at 200ºC, with 125ml of water in the bowl, chips were evenly cooked and had a nice crispy texture to the outside, while the inside remained soft and moist.

You can cook individually, use the same setting on both drawers or, cleverly, use different settings on each drawer but have them synchronise to finish at the same time. This design lets you spread out food, so that it’s evenly cooked, rather than having to shake food as you do in an air fryer. I thought I could get away with tipping out my brunch potatoes and hash browns I made onto my plate only for the crispy crumbs to also topple out. Not only does an air fryer promise to cut down your cooking time, but it does so with as little need for oil as possible. And despite reading the instructions that say you must not tip the cooked food onto your plate, it is so easy to forget.

We put every air fryer through a rigorous set of tests to ensure they do everything they claim, whether that’s cooking perfectly crispy chips, tender fish, evenly browned oven food or even whole chickens.

The extra-large capacity houses Tefal’s 2in1 function, which enables you to cook two different elements of your meal in one place. Some premium models even make it possible to cook an entire Sunday roast, potentially allowing you to squeeze in a whole chicken alongside potatoes and vegetables for the ultimate in tasty, energy efficient cooking. Despite reading the instructions that say you must not tip the cooked food onto your plate, it is so easy to forget and the rack can cause a bit of a mess. And, the size the oven means that you can use it for larger items, including chicken legs or even an entire pizza. Chips will take around 20 minutes of frying time, depending on how thick you cut them, and some guides I read suggested you should par-boil them.Having taken the chicken out and keeping it warm in foil, I added my roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and Yorkshire puds, and in no time, my whole roast was complete. Cheaper models may also require you to parboil chips, which might not be ideal if you’re looking for fast cooking times. The panel was touch-sensitive and pretty self-explanatory with the air fryer’s 12 preset functions signalled by small icons.
