Light Up Your Kitchen

The new wave of do-it-all countertop cookers bake, grill and air-fry potatoes (and other foods, too, of course) at the click of a button. Here are three worth buying

OUR TOP PICK

NINJA FOODI 8-IN-1

FLIP MINI OVEN

The Foodi won’t take up too much space on your counter and has eight useful functions, including air-frying, grilling and roasting for achieving fluffy crispy spuds with minimal need for oil. Removable parts make it easier to clean, while it can also be turned on its side for storage. Its modest size does, however, mean you’ll need to cook in batches if feeding a family.

WALLET-FRIENDLY KALORIK 5-IN-1

22L MINI OVEN

This smart option from Kalorik can roast, grill, dehydrate and reheat your food, and even has a rotisserie mode for perfectly cooked chicken to go with your roasties. (You can also use the rotisserie cage to make crispy chips.) At 22L, it is large, so it can cook more efficiently by using air circulation. A minor downside, though: the timer only lasts 60 minutes, so you’ll need to restart it every hour. £116 wayfair.co.uk

BIG AND POWERFUL

AICOOK AIR FRYER OVEN The largest option of the three, you’ll be able to cook a full meal in this 23L countertop cooker. Another multi-purpose gadget, the AiCook has a convection oven, air fryer, rotisserie and dehydrator, offering plenty of choice. It’s somewhat bulky, but if you have the space in your kitchen, this would certainly be a good use of it.
