Pros Cook, serve, and storage capabilities Easy to clean: almost everything is dishwasher-safe Intuitive operation No concern about PFAS Ability to see cooking in progress Can buy additional glass vessels for maximum food prep Small storage footprint with nesting capabilities Portable Cons Price is on the high side for air fryers Some exposed hot elements during operation Air fryer ovens have transitioned from passing fad to once-in-a-lifetime kitchen craze. Testing air fryers is more of a lifestyle than a hobby for us — at CNET, we not only love the speedy countertop convection ovens, but we’re on a mission to find the best of the best. While some large and budget-friendly models have impressed us enough to make the coveted list of best air fryers, only one reigns supreme as the best overall air fryer. At the top of our list is an innovative glass-bowl air fryer from Ninja.

Rick Stein answers your questions on his kitchen essentials, air fryers and his favourite fish

Published by Sam Flores

And which dish is most popular in your restaurants? Boris, North West This is interesting. It’s an Indonesian seafood curry. The reason it’s so popular is the Indonesian spice mixture of galangal, ginger and garlic. It’s slightly scented with the flavours of the East and everyone loves it. Most underrated fish and most overrated fish? Judith, Scotland There is a fish called a megrim sole, which is now called Cornish sole to make it a bit more popular. But it’s a flat fish local to Cornwall, which I think is excellent. I wouldn’t say there are any overrated fish. It’s just that some fish have been slightly ruined by their popularity. Fish like plaice, haddock or cod. They are beautiful fish but unfortunately because of the pressure of popularity, they are slightly under threat. But with new conservation methods, certainly cod is coming back. What advice you would give to a younger version of yourself starting out? Tim, South West When you’re young, you’re lacking in confidence in your own abilities. My advice would be …

But just when you thought these hot commodities couldn’t get any hotter, along come the best dual air fryers to prove otherwise.

There’s a seemingly never-ending list of these handy energy-saving appliances to choose from. To help separate the great from the good, I’ve tried and tested the latest dual air fryers from market leaders like Ninja, Tefal, Instant Pot and more.
