Buying an Air Fryer? Avoid Five Common Mistakes

Buying an air fryer? Avoid these 5 common mistakes and get the capacity right · livemint.com

An air fryer can cook many kinds of food, but the right size depends on how many people you usually feed.

A small one may mean cooking several batches, while a very large one can take up space you do not need.

For one or two people, the guide suggests a 2–4L model.

For three or four people, it suggests 4–6L, and larger households may need 6L or more.

Wattage and preset buttons do not tell the whole story.

Basket shape, temperature controls, timers and cleaning can matter more in everyday use.

It is also important to measure your kitchen space before buying.

The article lists five 4L–4.2L models available in India, with different controls and features.
