Tower T17021 Family Size Air Fryer with Rapid Air Circulation, 60-Minute Timer, 4.3L, 1500W, Black

Product Information

The 4.3 litre capacity provides suitable air frying space, with the addition of a 30 minute timer for scheduling a cooking cycle for family sized meal. You’ll need to spend a little more time when it comes to cleaning up as this isn’t a dishwasher-friendly appliance, but the innards are fine once you’ve got a little bit of hot, soapy water on the basket areas. The outside is okay with a wipe down too, so it’s largely low maintenance. Homemade chips test: Pieces were unevenly cooked, with crisper, browner pieces on top and firm, partially cooked chips on the bottom. Using rapid air circulation technology, food cooks 30% faster with 99% less oil and uncompromised fried taste - you lose the fat, not the flavour The metal structure houses a stainless steel interior cavity, providing ample cooking space for individual and family meals, with a viewing window to monitor the food.

Designed for family cooking with an 11 litre capacity which is 75% larger than a standard-sized air fryer Considering its low price the Tower Family Size Air Fryer is ideal for family use. There are some compromises, of course, with modes and other fancier feature options off the menu. Rapid air circulation creates crispier textures across your mealtime favourites, 30% faster than a conventional oven Little to no oil is required, all while keeping the same great taste, so you lose the fat not the flavour

The rest of the design is suitably functional. There are hand-hold recesses in the base to move it around the kitchen, a sliding plastic cover to prevent the basket-release button being accidentally pressed (a more practical solution to the potentially flimsy flip-up covers on similar models) and a guide to cooking times and temperatures for different foods on its metal fascia. Two lights show you when it’s on and when the heating element is working. Another big plus is a free three-year guarantee when it’s registered online, which gives more peace of mind than the standard year offered by comparable manufacturers. Use the digital control panel to easily select a pre-set cooking option or adjust timer and temperature settings What we’ve got here is a perfectly serviceable machine that offers value but doesn’t compromise on the core ingredients of what makes an air fryer useful. It’s got a 4.3-litre capacity for starters, which isn’t bad at all and enough to prepare hearty servings of chips to accompany a meal, no problem.

Larger capacity appliances can command a bump in the price. Fortunately, the generously sized Tower 4.3L Manual Air Fryer proves that a family-sized model doesn’t have to mean extra cost. Not only does its frying basket contain enough space for several portions of chips, veggies or frozen food, cooked with little to no oil, but it could also feasibly be used for speedily baking a cake. However, it’s not just capacity and cost that this air fryer has going for it – it’s also fantastically easy to use. Anyone who finds touchscreens frustrating, or digital displays confusing, will love its simple functionality – just turn the manual dials and you’re ready to cook. What you need to knowFry, roast, grill and bake functions allow you to make a variety of meals such as stuffed vegetables, muffins, pork chops and more Rapidly circulates hot air to cook your food 30% faster with 99% less oil and uncompromised fried taste -you lose the fat, not the flavour The enhanced airflow technology helps evenly circulate the heat around the basket so all of your ingredients are cooked thoroughly, with delicious results.

The unit itself isn’t too bulky either, which makes it preferable to the model we mentioned earlier because, good though that one is, it’s a beefy thing to have on your worktop. Storage is also an issue too. This machine can be slipped into a cupboard relatively easily, once it’s cooled down of course, thanks to those 29 x 36.5 x 32.5 centimetre dimensions. Naturally, Tower says you can fry, roast, grill and bake with this machine and that’s largely correct. However, the limited control options do mean this involves a little more human intervention. In other words, cook what you like but keep close tabs on the interior and its contents by sliding the basket out regularly.
