I am well entrenched in the grown-up territory, so when I was approached to review a Cosori Air Fryer, I had to try not to look too eager.

As we mention above, it’s possible to achieve a similar texture and flavour of traditional fried delights with an air-crisp function for air-fried chips and air-fried roast potatoes using considerably less oil. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.Finding the perfect air fryer is no mean feat, there are so many to choose from but if time is never on your side - and you find cooking a bit of a chore - the Ninja Speedi 10-in-1 5. To test the baking capabilities, we made cornbread, and once we found the top performers for the first four rounds, we tried roasting a whole chicken.

The T31 beeps noisily as you flit between its 12 presets, which include favourites like chips, chicken and vegetables. These days, they’re present in plenty of home kitchens, including those looking to make quick and simple meals or those adding an option beyond the oven or the stove while cooking for a crowd. Despite this small niggle, our testers were impressed with this fryer’s versatility and easy-to-clean design.

After 55 minutes, this model’s glass front panel and exterior was warm but not dangerously hot, which is a tick in the safety box for adults and kids. Some on our list, such as the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer, are actually multi-cookers, giving you multiple appliances in one, including a slow cooker or dehydrator as well as an air fryer. The COSORI has a "shake" setting on certain presets, which sounds a loud beep five times to remind you to shake your food in the tray. With similar features to other air fryers we've reviewed, this model has a handy removable drawer for cooking.

But for the purpose of the test, we shook ingredients only when prompted too and scored the appliance based on its performance.

Anything from the size of the cut to the variety of potato can make a difference here, so it’s always good to gauge things halfway through the time.Megan has an MA in Magazine Journalism and has previously written for Stylist, Glamour, TimeOut, SquareMeal, and YOU magazine. A larger version of the star performer Ninja 4-quart, I own this model at home and truly find great results for the basic functions we use it for. The cooking results, too, were excellent – both thick and thin-cut air-fried chips were a success, as was a deliciously crisp duck breast, which cooked at 180C for just 15 minutes.

It isn’t ideal for smaller batches and the attachments for the interior need to be purchased separately. We used the sync function to cook a chicken breast in one drawer and salmon fillet in the other, cooking at different temperatures but so they finished at the same time.Our chips and fairy cakes came out well-cooked but were a little inconsistent; the chips were light and fluffy, but some came out browner than we’d have liked, and the bottom of our fairy cakes were also on the darker side.
