Frequently Asked Questions
- How much chicken can it fit? The 6.5L basket comfortably accommodates a whole chicken up to 1.8kg or roughly 800g of frozen chips.
- Is it easy to clean? Yes, the non-stick coating allows for a simple wipe-down, or you can place the basket directly into the dishwasher.
- Does it save electricity? Because it heats up instantly and cooks faster than a conventional oven, it is highly energy-efficient for daily use.
- Can I open it while cooking? Yes, the Russell Hobbs system pauses the timer and heating when the drawer is pulled out, allowing you to shake or flip your food.
Quick Healthy Hack: The "Crispy Chickpea" Snack
- For a nutritious, high-protein snack, drain a can of chickpeas and pat them dry. Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil and some smoked paprika. Air fry at 200°C for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, for a crunchy alternative to traditional crisps.
