Giving you the chance to cook crispy, delicious food both faster and cheaper than a traditional oven, it’s no wonder air fryers are such a hit.<\/p>\n

These appliances were first introduced to the mass market in 2010 but sales soared when the cost of living crisis hit in 2022 and families were desperately searching for ways to save money on energy bills.<\/p>\n

Recent research by Utilita found that an air fryer\u00a0only costs \u00a352.74 to use for a year, compared to the \u00a3316.64 bill households face with an electric oven.<\/p>\n

So what can you expect from Beko\u2019s ExpertFry Dual Zone air fryer? The model retails for \u00a3149. The product description reads: “Featuring two cooking zones, with a combined capacity of 8.5L, our ExpertFry Dual Zone Hot Air Fryer allows you to achieve delicious cooking results using little to no oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst the ‘Smart Finish’ feature coordinates the cooking times of your food to ensure your dishes are ready at the same time, the Dual Zone programme allows you to use each compartment independently, perfect when cooking both sweet and savoury items.\u201d<\/p>\n

This air fryer comes with an impressive range of accessories and these include a cooking rack, a grill insert, a double deck cooking rack with skewers as well as a dryer insert and a measuring spoon. All of these accessories are dishwasher safe, however, the drawers are not.<\/p>\n

Despite its massive size, the Beko air fryer was easy to set up. An instruction manual came with the air fryer and they were straightforward and simple to follow.<\/p>\n

To get started with the Beko ExpertFry Dual Zone air fryer, all you have to do is give the two baskets and accessories it came with a good clean before using it, set the appliance to \u201cM\u201d mode at the highest temperature and let it run for 10 without any food.<\/p>\n

This took hardly any time at all, so I was ready to go with the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer within a matter of minutes. Thanks to the air fryer\u2019s wide LED display, I could easily navigate through the menu options and temperature settings, making cooking an easy experience.<\/p>\n

One thing I struggle to cook without it going dry in the air fryer is chicken, so I decided to to see if using this air fryer could make it easier.<\/p>\n

The recipe I opted for was Jamie Oliver\u2019s \u201cmost delicious\u201d air fryer chicken which he claims is \u201csuper easy\u201d.<\/p>\n
