Over the past few years, air fryers have really taken off, and not just for the health-conscious but busy home cooks as well. They revolutionise the way you cook, using up to 98% less oil, and are a lot cheaper to run than an electric oven. An air fryer is a must have device for any home. The Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer is a family size air fryer with a 7.5 litre capacity and is perfect for any kitchen.
The Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer is a family-sized stainless steel air fryer with a large 7.5 litre capacity, which is suitable for 4-6 people (there is also a smaller 4.75l medium capacity version which is suitable for 3-4 people). It features 1800w of power, 4 presets, adjustable cooking temperatures, shake reminder, automatic shutoff, square basket for maximum capacity, non-stick and dishwasher-safe parts. It measures approx. 32.39 x 34.29 x 25.4cm.
An air fryer is an essential piece of kitchen equipment, a kitchen appliance that is cheaper to run than a conventional electric oven (an electric oven uses around 3000w of power per hour, while this air fryer uses 1800w), with faster cooking times. They are also perfect for those that care about the health of their families as they vastly reduce oil consumption, preserve nutrients, and minimise harmful compounds. Just like an oven, they are very versatile and can cook anything from cakes to crispy fried chicken.
- CRISPY WITHOUT THE CALORIES: Don’t sacrifice great taste for healthy cooking. Serve all the delicious fried foods your family loves using 98% less oil. Air fry vegetables, pizza, frozen foods, and even leftovers to a perfect crisp in minutes.
- PERFECT TIMING: Get rid of the guesswork with four one-touch preset cooking functions for popular dishes like French fries, chicken, fish, and meat and start frying in seconds.
- EVENLY CRISP: A built-in LED Shake reminder with an alarm lets you know when it’s time to give your food a shake to ensure evenly crisped food every time.
- VERSATILE TEMPERATURES: With a cooking temperature range of 80-200°C, you can create the perfect dish no matter what’s on the menu. Lower temperatures cook food with less crunch, higher temperatures for more.
- EASY TO CLEAN: The removable air fryer basket and the cooking tray is dishwasher-safe, and the exterior easily wipes down with a cloth.
- AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF: Heating pauses when the basket is opened and restarts where it left off when replaced. Once the timer goes off and cooking is complete, the unit will automatically shut off.
- QUICK COOKING: This 7.5 litre large air fryer is perfect for feeding the whole family or about 4-6 people and is designed to get dinner on the table in minutes.
- COUNTERTOP CHIC: The streamlined design of this 7.5 litre air fryer has an impressive capacity without taking up too much valuable space on your kitchen countertop.
The 7.5 litre cooking basket is perfect for the entire family. Its large capacity ensures that a family of 4 (can serve 4-6 people) can have a meal without the need to reduce portion sizes, and in less time than using the oven. No lengthy preheating times, and cooling time is a lot faster, producing great tasting food. It heats up quickly and cooks food evenly, thanks to its efficient air circulation system and the shake reminder.
It is a very user-friendly appliance, with 4 easy on-touch presets for fish, fries, chicken and meat. The touch interface is responsive and easy to navigate, making the cooking process as simple as a few taps. The cooking temperature is easy adjusted, with a temperature range of 80-200°C.
Overall, the Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer is a perfect air fryer for family use and it looks good on the kitchen countertop, without taking up too much space. The food comes out evenly cooked and really tasty, and no need for any oil (or very little, depending on what you are cooking). And it is a much healthier way of cooking as any fat or oil from the food is collected below the cooking tray.
By circulating hot air rapidly around the food, it creates a crispy exterior with tender and moist interiors. Whether you’re whipping up some crispy fries, roasting vegetables, or baking a cake, this air fryer can do it all with less oil and more flavour. And does it in half the time, using nearly half the energy of an electric oven. Perfect for families and a busy lifestyle.
As with any air fryer there is a learning curve to get things perfect. Frozen foods, chips and meat are easy but you might need to try different temperatures for things such as pizza and cheese on toast to get the cheese toppings just right and how you like them. But the easy to use touch controls make this a breeze.
And I love the shake reminder. While it is a simple thing to remember to give the contents of the basket a shake to get food cooked evenly, forgetting to do it is even easier – so the gentle reminder is perfect for me (even when using my oven I set a timer on Alexa to remind me to turn the food over).
As for cleaning, it is very easy. With its square, flat-bottomed basket it is simple to clean. The basket and cooking tray are easily removeable. They can be washed by hand with very little fuss after each use or put in the dishwasher. The stainless steel exterior of the air fryer is easily wiped down.
An excellent air fryer that gets more use than the oven now. The 10-15 minutes pre-heating time of an electric oven are practically gone, the air fryer takes 2 or 3 minutes to get up to temperature. It is so easy to use, marrying functionality with convenience. And helps make the worst and best cooks create better tasting food in minutes.
Depending on what foods you like to cook, this will probably get more use than your oven (you couldn’t cook a full-sized pizza in it). But for most things, it is perfect and has enough space for family meals.
It is fast and efficient, powerful, easy to use, easy to clean and saves on electricity too! Perfect for any kitchen and daily use! And so much easier to keep clean than the oven!
