If you’re on the hunt for the best air fryer to take your meals to the next level and make them even healthier, you’re in the right place. We’ve got three heavy hitters in the air frying world to compare: the HealthyFry 3.0 Optimum Air Fryer, the Tefal Easy Fry Grill and Steam XXL, and the Philips Essential XL Digital Air Fryer. These machines are designed to cook with little to no oil and reduce fat whilst giving you that crispy, golden texture. So let’s break them down to see what they bring to the table and help you find the perfect one.

What exactly is an air fryer?

Air fryers are kitchen appliances that cook by circulating hot air around the food, creating a crispy exterior without the need for deep frying in oil. Think of it as a countertop convection oven designed to mimic the results of deep frying – without the added calories and mess. Using a powerful fan and rapid air circulation, air fryers cook food quickly, giving it that golden brown, crispy texture.

While air fryers are famous for cooking crispy fries and chicken wings, their versatility extends far beyond these classics. You can also bake, roast, grill and even reheat food. They’re especially popular for cooking healthier versions of traditional deep-fried foods by using little to no oil, making them a favourite for those looking to cut down on fat and calories.

With a variety of sizes and functions, air fryers are suitable for a wide range of cooking styles. Whether you’re preparing meals for one or feeding a large family, there’s an air fryer out there to meet all your needs.

The screen makes adjusting the temperature and time simple, and it makes healthier meals without sacrificing flavour or texture.

This air fryer is especially great for anyone who loves simplicity. It handles frozen foods with ease and cooks quickly, delivering that crispy texture.
