How to Choose an Air Fryer: Capacity, Power, Features
Crispy dishes with almost no oil: which capacity, power and features fit your household best.
The air fryer has become one of the most popular kitchen appliances of recent years: it fries with a stream of hot air, using almost no oil. The result is crispy dishes with fewer calories and no smell of frying oil.
Capacity — match your household- 2-3 L — for 1-2 people: fries, nuggets, small portions.
- 4-6 L — the sweet spot for a family of 3-4.
- 7 L and up — for a big family or guests: fits a whole chicken.
1400-1800 W is enough for small and medium models; look for 1800-2000 W in 7-litre units. A more powerful appliance reaches temperature faster and cooks large portions more evenly.
Controls and programsTouch-screen models offer presets for fries, chicken, fish and desserts. Mechanical dials are simpler and more durable. Check the temperature range — ideally 80-200°C: low temperatures are needed for dehydrating.
What to look for- A removable non-stick basket that is dishwasher-safe.
- A viewing window or interior light to follow the cooking.
- Auto shut-off and overheat protection.
