This mode gives you all the benefits of an Air Fryer with six functions to choose from: Grill, Air Fry, Bake/Roast, Dehydrate, Sear/Saute or Slow Cook. The Ninja Speedi is able to reach cooking temperature in an instant and fry food with minimal oil, which reduces cooking time and makes the resulting meals healthier.

Boil the kettle and set the air fryer to preheat at 200°C for a few minutes. Once your rice is sufficiently strained (and the water is clear), pop it into the cake tin and add your boiled water and salt. Tightly cover the dish with aluminium foil, stick it in the air fryer and cook for 25 minutes.

Among the many brands and models tested and reviewed here at Expert Reviews, Ninja's air fryers have stood out as some of the best we've tried.

A heating element near the top of the fryer emits heat into the air in the cooking chamber (radiation), while a fan circulates the heated air rapidly around it (convection). This combination creates a very intense heat transfer, resulting in a cooking method that's closer to frying than baking.

Remember, that while a larger cooking capacity is great, you also have to be realistic about how much counter or cabinet space you have to store the appliance. What size of air fryer do you need for a family of six? If you're cooking for a family of six, a 7- or 8-quart air fryer should work just fine.
