Tower T17038 Xpress 5-in-1 Manual Air Fryer Oven with Rapid Air Circulation, 60-Minute Timer, 11L, 2000W, Black

Product Information

Including an oil drip tray, rotisserie fork and handle, and 3 mesh air flow racks, this versatile air fryer caters to a range of different meals. As you can imagine, it was a bigger job to clean out the fryer after using the rotisserie function, but with fat collected in the tray at the bottom and the glass door opening wide, it was a bit easier to wipe down any greasy splashes.

The Tower Vortex really did take all the faff out of the chicken cooking, which gave me time to make some delicious extras. Instead you place your food on the wire mesh trays and insert them into the air fryer as you would a regular oven.It's important to make sure the Tower Vortex's drip tray is always in place when you're cooking in it, and this is especially true with rotisserie.

Moreover, extras such as the digital presets and crisping trays make cooking other types of food relatively simple. Packed with extra power, this air fryer can cook 30% faster than a conventional oven, cooking a 1kg chicken in 40mins.

The trays also mean you can get away with not flipping certain food, although you might still want to do this to achieve even browning. Even though it was a little fiddly in other areas, for this function alone I think it's a worthy addition to any kitchen. Unfortunately, making chips from scratch is more time-consuming than it needs to be due to the need for parboiling. That's one fault with a multi-level air fryer design, because you can't use the handle of a drawer to access the food without touching the cooking element itself.
