Tefal Easy Fry & Grill Deluxe Air Fryer EY505D

The instructions included were not good. If you’ve used an air fryer before, you don’t need any instructions. First time users will be left scratching their head. Fortunately, air fryer YouTube videos can fill in the blanks. To test this machine, I cooked frozen chips, chicken drumsticks and steak. Shoestring chips weren’t a winner, due to user error; too long and not ‘shaking’ the basket halfway through cooking. Some chips were soggy, others were too crispy. Thick cut chips fared better, though they were only slightly nicer than oven cooking them. Chicken drumsticks weren’t any crispier or tender than oven cooked ones. The air fryer is at a disadvantage; five fit in the basket, while the oven can handle four times as many. The reason why I would purchase an air ... MoreThe instructions included were not good.

The reason why I would purchase an air fryer? Cooking steak. It was cooked to tender perfection. This air fryer would be perfect for cooking for 1-2 people, but it is not big enough for a family. Cleanup is easy by hand. A dishwasher safe basket would be preferable.

This compact little air fryer is totally brilliant! I’ll hardly use my oven again. I’ve been travelling recently and have taken this everywhere I go so I can make my meals in accommodation even without an kitchen facilities, it’s been a god send. My sweet potato chips come out perfectly crispy, and I’ve cooked everything including steak, fish, lamb chops, brussel sprouts, chips and reheated a lamb stew. The included grill functions so well. Atlantic salmon coated in grated parmesan is a dream! Very happy.

I'm new to using an air fryer so wasn't sure what to expect. Tried roasting a chicken, it came out crisp and juicy, good for fish and fish cakes, no fishy smell. Tried cooking fresh chips, don't like frozen chips, and not happy with the results but fresh french fries are alot better than fat chips. The only big downside is, apart from storing it, if you do something like fish and chips, once you cook the fish you have to keep it warm in the oven while you wait for the chips to cook. You may as well just cook the fish on the oven on the first place. I could have bought a two draw fryer but don't have room for it. Over all its good
