In addition to producing great-tasting food, its flexibility and ease of cleaning, the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi brings another significant benefit to the kitchen table, and that’s its ability to save money on energy costs. According to Russell Hobbs, the Satisfry Air Snappi fries your food up to 76% faster when compared to a conventional oven, which will help save up to 58% on energy costs.

These two factors are likely why Russell Hobbs has designed and launched its innovative new air fryer. Cleaning the air fryer after using it didn’t result in any moans or whines. The dividers and bases of the baskets are removable and can be washed under a tap, and the baskets (once cooled) are easy to wipe clean.

The time is adjusted via up and down arrows on the left, and the temperature has similar controls on the right. Once you’ve set these for basket 1 on the left, you simply press 2 and adjust the time for the basket on the right. But when you’re setting the timer for basket 2, the time is displayed next to the temperature controls which is super confusing the first couple of times until you get used to it. They all seem to be so concerned with producing an oven that can do everything, that all they have ended up with is a portable convection oven that has lost sight of what their add-on air fryer mode is supposed to do. Whether you want to upgrade to a newer model, or your air-fryer has reached the end of its life, knowing how and where to dispose of your appliance is important to avoid creating more e-waste. In addition most of these so-called multi-functional brands are under-powered when it comes to air frying.

I love adding toasted nuts to salads and other dishes for extra crunch and flavour. Unfortunately, I often get distracted when I try to do them in a frypan and have burned far too many batches of nuts over the years. Would the air fryer save me from another cooking fail? For instance, try to find any other multi-functional oven that will work in air fryer mode while using the rotisserie ! I have been using it every day at leat once for 3 weeks, and have previously owned another brand one for 2 years.Since that groundbreaking day in Berlin, the world has changed significantly, and knowledge of how to keep the body healthy has expanded exponentially. It’s now common knowledge that people need to cook food in a healthier way, and eating ultra-processed microwavable foods does more harm than good to one’s health. In addition, there has been a staggering rise in the cost of living, particularly the seemingly constant increase in energy costs. Another frustration was that when I attempted to shake the veg and halloumi, loads of liquid sprayed out of the holes in the side divider. So I had to use a spoon to stir the mixture up instead. Putting that to one side, the final result was tasty and everything had the texture I was hoping for, it just took a little longer than I expected. Converting the Satisfry Air Snappi from one to two baskets or vice versa is very straightforward. Utilising the air fryer in the single 8.5L basket mode requires a connection piece, which sits in the middle and joins the two individual compartments. Using the air fryer in dual basket mode requires moving the connector and inserting metal perforated dividing walls for each basket. In the dual-compartment mode, the baskets can be used completely independently from each other. It is a genius design, particularly when batch cooking, as once one food has been cooked, its basket can be removed without disturbing the other and filled with another food, continuing the cooking flow. I did notice that after being in the dishwasher, water would drip from the handles onto my worktop. I think water gets trapped inside the handle and takes a while to get out again. So if you’ve got wooden worktops or you’re super fussy about pristine worktops, this little puddle will get on your nerves and you’d be better off hand washing the baskets.
