One of the standout things about the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer is its versatile range of features and functions. Some functions to look out for are handy presets for cooking common items, quick-cook settings, which use high heats to blitz through cooking times, and sync settings in dual-drawer models to ensure all items finish cooking at the same time.

One of the few downsides of this air fryer is that it needs a three-minute preheat to achieve its best results. It’s also more compact than you’d expect, measuring 40cm in length, 36cm in width and 32cm in height. As far as cooking performance is concerned, it produced notably crispy homemade chips, well-browned chicken breast, beautifully roasted veg and more. In addition, they cook food more quickly than conventional methods, are easy to use and relatively energy efficient.Intended for use on thinner frozen foods such as onion rings, chips and chicken nuggets, this function allows the air fryer to heat to a higher maximum temperature of 240°C, giving these foods an extra crispy, crunchy finish – as well as cooking them in roughly half the time it would take a standard oven. Besides its oven-style setup, the real standout feature of the T31 is its rotisserie functionality and accompanying accessories.

At this size, you’ll be able to cook up an extremely generous side portion of chips, or even a whole chicken to serve as your main protein. I purchased separately some Silicone Tray Liners, which fit fine and can really be scrubbed clean so no worrying about the non stick coating. It just has one annoying feature that loses it a star, as, surprisingly, it is quite noisy and is the loudest piece of equipment in our kitchen, with only a 25 year old tumble drier managing to rival it. Controls are simple and easy to use and containers are easy to clean (after removing the food I put in a few drops of washing up liquid and enough water to cover the removable tray and put them back in position to cool gradually whilst grease etc dissolves). The cream white colour, chrome accents and slight boxy shape gives it an old-school look with a modern twist.This roundup, which focuses on the best air fryers for two people, features our favourite versatile, high-capacity models that should allow you to easily whip up large batches of sides such as chips and veggies, as well as cook up whole meals quickly and simply.
