Hot air is circulated 360° around the food, using a fan, just like an electric oven. But it’s a smaller area, so it costs less to heat. For example, the Petite AirFryer uses 1200W of energy compared to 3000W for an electric oven, so it costs 60% less to run.

The oven is one of the most energy-hungry appliances in our homes. An electric oven is typically rated between 2000-3000W. The Petite AirFryer is rated 1200W, which means it uses 60% less electricity, minute by minute. It also cooks food more quickly, so you could soon recover the purchase cost in energy savings.

For best results, we recommend putting in food when the air fryer is hot. But don’t worry - it will be quicker than preheating  your normal oven. The Petite AirFryer takes around 3 minutes to preheat to 180°C!

Yes, in most cases, although you can use less oil to cook food in an air fryer. The oil helps the food to get golden and crispy. 

Yes, it’s safe. The Petite AirFryer has a heat-resistant base so it can be placed on your worktop. Make sure that it has space around it, for ventilation. We don’t advise putting it directly beneath a kitchen cupboard, as condensation can form. 

The K&W Petite AirFryer has a capacity of 3L. In food-speak, that means it can accommodate a box of wings, a ready-made quiche, or 3 regular jacket potatoes.

If you’re converting a recipe written for conventional ovens, a good starting point is to reduce the listed oven temp by 25° and the time by about 20%. If you’re not sure, start checking early in the cook time. It’s easy with a glass drawer!

Some air fryers feature non-stick drawers which must be cleaned, in-situ, using dish soap. But our innovative glass drawer can go directly into the dishwasher (or sink, if you’re old-school). You can use a non-scratch scrubbing pad (we ❤️ Scrub Daddy).

There’s a fan moving the hot air, which means that light ingredients, like croutons, popcorn or toast, can be blown around and fail to cook properly. Also not ideal: ‘wet’ dishes like rice or sauces, including chilli, pilaf, and pasta. As a rule, choose ingredients and foods that won’t create a lot of condensation or dribble on the bottom of the drawer. 

To get that perfect golden finish, use oil with a high smoke point. Vegetable or sunflower oil are great - but avoid the non-stick sprays, which contain emulsifiers. You can fill your own bottle with oil for easy reapplication to the food.

Experimenting is the best way to cook food that’s perfect for you and your family. (If you discover any hacks, share them with us!) But these tips will get you started like a pro:
#1: Make sure the food is all cut to a similar size.

#2: Don’t overfill your air fryer. This limits heat circulation and prevents all the edges from getting nice and crispy.

#3: Experiment. Experience has taught us that spices and seasoning should be mixed with a little oil before being tossed with your ingredients - otherwise the spices end up at the bottom of the cooking drawer :) 

#4: Buy useful tools: get a pair of tongs and a meat thermometer. It’s faster to turn food with tongs, rather than whatever-utensil-is-nearest-to-hand (or your fingers, ouch). A meat thermometer will help you to get the timings just right.
