Instant Pot multi-cooker with built-in air fryer
The best multi-cookers are a convenient kitchen appliance due to the range of things you can do with them, and with the air fryer trend showing no signs of slowing down, these multifunctional pieces of kit might just be a savvy investment if you love cooking. They're also a nice option for home cooks with tiny kitchens, as it saves you from cluttering up cupboards and worktops with a separate slow cooker, air fryer etc.
Another alternative is a halogen oven. We tried both a halogen oven and air fryer to see which was best.
