An air fryer cooks with hot air instead of in a pan of oil. Your food turns crispy with little or no oil. Buying an air fryer? Look at three things: how much you want to make at once, what your food sits in and what you'll make in it most often.
Which air fryer suits you?
- ClearFry: you want to cook in glass, with no coating, and watch it turn crispy.
- SuperFry: you want two dishes at once, with two stacked tiers that take up little width.
- TwoFry: you want two dishes at once, with two baskets side by side and eight programmes.
- SteamFry: you want hot air and steam, so meat, fish and vegetables stay juicy.
- SpaceFry: you want to cook flat, a whole pizza for example, without shaking.
Glass air fryer: no coating
The ClearFry is a glass air fryer. You cook in glass bowls instead of a basket with a non-stick coating: an air fryer with no Teflon or any other coating. You can see from every side when your food is golden brown. It comes with two bowls: 4.5 litres for a whole meal and 2.5 litres for a snack or side dish. The bowls can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the freezer.
PFAS-free air fryer
Looking for a PFAS-free air fryer? PFAS are chemicals that repel water, grease and dirt. They're often found in the non-stick coatings of pans and air fryers, and they hardly break down in nature. These Seeger air fryers are PFAS-free:
- ClearFry: glass bowls, no coating.
- SuperFry: PFAS-free non-stick coating on the drawers and grill plates.
- SteamFry with window.
- SpaceFry.
Air fryer with steam
The SteamFry combines hot air with steam. Fries and snacks are made with hot air. Add steam and meat, fish and vegetables stay more tender and keep more flavour. With a 7-litre capacity, you can make a complete meal for the family. It has ten programmes, including cleaning and descaling, and comes with or without a window.
Dual air fryer: two dishes at once
With a dual air fryer you make fries and chicken at the same time, each with its own time and temperature. The TwoFry has two 5-litre baskets side by side, together a 10-litre air fryer. With SYNC, both baskets are ready at the same time. The SuperFry has two 5.5-litre tiers stacked on top of each other and takes up less width on your worktop. On the SuperFry, Smart Finish takes care of that. Looking for a large air fryer for the family? Look at these two or at the SteamFry.
Air fryer for pizza
The SpaceFry has no deep basket, but a flat 30-centimetre cooking surface, with heat from above and below. A whole pizza fits in, and your food lies side by side instead of piled up, so there's no need to shake. Looking for an air fryer oven for flat dishes? Look at the SpaceFry. It has a 6-litre capacity and eleven programmes, including two for pizza.
How many litres do you need?
- Snack, side dish or a casserole for two: the ClearFry's 2.5-litre bowl.
- Pizza and flat dishes: the SpaceFry with 6 litres.
- A whole chicken or fries for the family: the ClearFry's 4.5-litre bowl.
- A complete meal for the family: the SteamFry with 7 litres.
- Two dishes at once: the TwoFry (2 × 5 litres) or the SuperFry (2 × 5.5 litres).
Cleaning
First unplug the air fryer and let it cool down. The part with the heating element never goes under water and never in the dishwasher. These parts can go in the dishwasher:
- ClearFry: the glass bowls and the fryer plate.
- SuperFry: the baskets and the crisper plates.
- TwoFry: the baskets and the baking plates.
- SteamFry: the basket and the baking plate. It also has a steam cleaning programme.
- SpaceFry: the drawer.
Don't use metal scourers or sharp objects. Still not sure? Take the air fryer check at the top of the page, or compare two models side by side.
