Tefal Easy Fry 9-in-1, 11L Air Fryer Oven, Grill and Rotisserie 8 Programs inc Dehydrate, Roast, Bake and Toast Black FW501, 2000 W

So we've been using this air fryer for several months now and it's lived up to all expectations.Having done the research in advance, this unit is large enough to cope with a family of six or four with good appetite!Cooking is quick, very quick and generally within 15-20 minutes, your meals are done.Chips are crisp and delicious.We've not yet cooked chicken but like the rotary unity.. Chicken breasts are perfect.Cleaning is very easy but then we're not cooking fatty foods.Pizza's come out great.Greatest benefit is time saved and cost savings based in energy use, absolutely fantastic when compared to a conventional oven.Steaks, fish and bacon we would still recommend conventional grilling, or pan frying.Otherwise, one of, if not, our best buy this year!A must have in every home, particularly with all its features and settings.Finally, while more expensive than most it is worth spending a little more, if your budget can stretch to it, and remember, you'll get it back in the energy you save.Enjoy!!

I put off buying an airfryer as I did not believe you could get crispy food without a deep fat fryer. I was wrong. Chips, pizza, meat, even vegetables - this thing handles them all! My favourite is the rotisserie function which you can use for beautifully crisp chicken (just as nice as from the chip shop) or any other joint that you can fit.As others have mentioned, the instructions are terrible - they consist of a very thin leaflet consisting of pictures which do not give a clear indication of anything. They clearly sell these all over the world and have sought to create a universal guide but, in my opinion, have failed. Fortunately there are plenty of guides online and to be honest the machine is very intuitive so you can pretty much figure it out yourself.The only thing I didn't understand was how to use the rotisserie at first - the stick goes through the meat and you then have to fiddle with the two supplied forks to lock the meat in place. On my first attempt the chicken did a very lazy rotation where it would kind of stay relatively flat then suddenly do a quick spin around. However after a few minutes it started turning more evenly and I think it's because the chicken I used (1.2kg) was slightly too large and I had not aligned the forks properly. Regardless, the included photo is of that first attempt. I assure it tasted divine! Would recommend, I use it every day and have bought one for a friend. (I have used the rotisserie function many times, have tried to capture a video but it's blurry! I'm sure you can see the chicken is at least going around!)

I have had this for about a year and only used it as an oven, it heats up a lot faster than a bigger oven and reduces cooking time which is great. It cooks evenly too, absolutely perfect for roasting nuts. It is temperamental though. I first bought this oven secondhand and upon arrival it was only giving me an error and was useless. A few weeks later I bought this new one, and just as I was going to put the other one on Ebay for parts it suddenly started working! After just sitting in the box for a few weeks! I can't remember which one I've kept but they are exactly the same model.Another time it got funny with me and dropped the settings, I set it to heat but it pinged and reset itself back to standby. I think it did it once again but continued heating the third time. So best to keep checking on it, otherwise I'm very happy.

So far so good. A bit trial and error initially getting used to timings, especially frozen foods, but easy to use.

I chose this little oven for 2 reasons; firstly, now I only have myself to cook for it was paining me to use my huge electric oven on my cooker for just a small meal for myself. Fuel bills are through the roof, so we’re all trying to find ways to save money, and this is perfect for that. Secondly, the American style Air Fryers that reach 400* and cook small joints of meat in 10mins are amazing if you want to cook real food quickly when you get home from work, but that doesn’t apply to me. I’m vegetarian, non of my meals take more than 20mins. So, for size, performance, easily cleaned parts and multitasking it’s ideal for making a healthy meal for 1 or 3!

What a fabulous product. Managed to find a 1.22Kg chicken earlier today in Tesco - nothing special - the chicken cost just £3.08. Small chickens are not stocked everywhere, so it's probably best to buy a few and freeze them, when you find them, and if you have the freezer space. We used a third of a packet of chicken shwarma spice mix and made a paste with some olive oil, smeared it over the dry chicken and left it - covered - to marinate in the 'fridge for a couple of hours.Within minutes of the Tefal 9 in 1 EasyFry Air Fryer oven being delivered we'd threaded the rotisserie spike through the cavity and tighten the prongs in potition. We didn't bother to pre-heat the oven - we just selected the chicken programme and it immediately showed 200 degrees C - and 60 minutes. Press 'Start' and then one more button press to activate the rotisserie moto. It reached 200 very quickly.An hour later the chicken was lifted out using the appropriate tool. What a beautiful sight: a succulent crispy-skinned roast/rotisserie chicken!We cut the chicken in half, and each devoured our portion. Literally jaw-droppingly good, and a real revelation:The. Perfect. Chicken.All polished off - with every scrap of chicken gnawed off the bones - so good, and such good value!Our Tefal oven cost us £189, just before the price went up. Buy one - you won't regret it!
