As the name suggests, the air fryer is the perfect gadget to cook anything traditionally fried, such as sausages, chips or fried chicken, but the kitchen staple also offers a wealth of other options too, thanks to it’s ability to reheat, roast, bake, grill and even dehydrate, all while using far less oil or fat than traditional cooking methods.
