Our expert reviewer Helen said she 'couldn't think of many reasons not to buy this air fryer', which is high praise indeed from our hard-to-please expert. On the whole, if you have a specific reason that means the flexibility to split it into two zones would suit your needs better than other air fryers, then it’ll get the job done. But you’ll just have to accept some of its quirks along the way.

Our full Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer review has the full details. How we tested the best dual zone air fryersDual zone air fryers do everything your usual air fryer can do, times two.So you can cook with the same time and temperatures across both drawers (effectively doubling the capacity of a single drawer use) or you can control either drawer independently.

If there are any stubborn stains or food residues inside the air fryer, you can use a baking soda and water paste to scrub them away gently.

FAQs When's the best time to buy a dual zone air fryer? From fish and chips to churros and calamari, deep fat fryers are a wonderful invention. And with a 3-litre basket, adjustable time and temperature controls and a viewing window so you don’t over-do them, the Lakeland Electric Deep Fat Fryer is more than up to the job.

The main reason to buy this air fryer from Russell Hobbs is the flexibility that comes with being able to split the basket into two zones, much like the Ninja FlexDrawer, which we've rated above. Not everyone’s cooking space is big enough to accommodate a deep fat fryer, or even a normal-sized air fryer for that matter. But did you know you can achieve the same great taste without taking up so much kitchen space? The Lakeland Digital Compact Air Fryer is the perfect size for cooking for one or two people in a limited space, using little to no oil. With a footprint of just 25 x 18cm, it’ll soon become your new best friend in the kitchen. Deep fat frying Our expert product tester Helen had a mixed bag when reviewing this buy. Whilst she overall liked the idea of the deisng, having to cook at the same temperature on both sides, combined with the frustrations she experienced with the perforated dividers, left her thinking you might be better off opting for an air fryer without the flexible zones. And instead plumping for either a decent size single zone or a good dual zone air fryer. Exclusive to Tower Air Fryers, Vortx technology rapidly circulates hot air around food, cooking up to 30% faster than a conventional oven. Vortx also cooks food with a delicious crispy texture and because little or no oil is required, it’s much healthier too! Lose the fat not the flavour with Vortx Air Frying Technology Smart finish function: Simply set to cook different foods in each basket – both ready to enjoy at the same time, to feed the whole family together.

Rapid air circulation creates crispier textures across your mealtime favourites, 30% faster than a conventional oven Given their higher price point, some extra functionality beyond the norm is to be expected with dual fryers. This can include additional settings for roasting, dehydrating and grilling, or special features such as the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone’s Max Crisp setting or the Tefal Genius XL 2in1’s self-stirring paddle, both of which we’ll discuss in more detail below. Can you cook whole meals in a dual air fryer? Like its predecessor, the FlexDrawer comes with an array of thoughtful functions including its match and sync settings, the former of which allows you to match the time and temperature of both sides of the fryer without having to input all the information twice, while the latter syncs up both sizes of the fryer, so they finish at the same time, even when at different temperatures of cook times. You’ll also recognise all the classic settings for air frying, roasting, baking, reheating, proving and dehydrating, as well as the Max Crisp setting, which allows you to crank up the heat to a whopping 240ºC.Alongside a varied set of preset functions, the Genius XL’s standout feature is its rotating paddle, which does away with the need to pause your cook and shake midway through, instead gently stirring your food throughout for consistent results. The air fryer’s 1.7kg capacity is split between two cooking compartments, with the bottom compartment utilising the stirring paddle and a second static section sitting on top – though the latter can be removed for extra room if needs be. After the 18 minutes had passed, I transferred all of the potato wedges into one container, making sure they were moved around. I then added the two salmon fishcakes into basket two, this time opting for the Smart Finish mode, which lets you specify different heat temperatures for the two compartments. Seeing as my potatoes had a head start, but needed more work, I did 200 degrees for basket one and 160 degrees for basket two.
