Argos air fryer 'superior to Ninja' with energy saving feature

Yesterday shoppers piled back into Currys as they restocked the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer, with many praising its diversity, as well as efficiency in these times of rising energy bills.

Although converts are touting it as the 'best air fryer' available, a high street equivalent has emerged which looks to be taking the crown.

Argos have announced their equivalent product which has see-through windows, allowing you to check on the progress of your food without opening the doors and losing heat.

Although the Ninja and Currys websites are listing the Argos equivalent at the same £199.99 price, they are both out of stock already. Their popularity has made these fancy fryers the hottest item of the last few months, so finding them at this price is hard to come by.

Amazon is offering 38 price options all from an eye-watering £325.00, so your best options looks to be the Asda 'Instant Vortex ClearCook', the M.E.N reports.

The product description reads: "Take your air frying to the next level with the ultimate convenience of Dual Air Fryer Baskets. Use Sync Cook for bigger portions and mirror settings in both drawers, or use Sync Finish to automatically align finish times when each drawer is set to different cooking cycles.

"The ClearCook see-through window on each drawer means you can check on cooking progress without opening the basket, keeping all heat inside so your recipes cook faster than an oven, and more energy efficient too. Dual drawers with separate controls, so you can double up cooking or cook two different foods at the same time."

One five-star reviewer wrote: "Really good because you can even use frozen food in it, and it cooks in minutes. Food comes out perfectly, not hard or over done, still moist inside. Sausages, pizzas and fish in minutes."

Argos' air fryer is said to be 'even better' than sell-out Ninja - and £100 cheaper (Argos)

Another said: "Worth spending the extra cash on getting this version with the glass front so you can see the food cooking...especially if this is your first air fryer! Very easy to figure out how to use properly with sync cook etc."

A third raved: "I have not stopped using this since it was purchased it cooks everything quicker and to perfection, the dual basket and sync finish are a great feature, I would recommend this air fryer to anyone."

I've the Instant Vortex ClearCook air fryer myself, and I can honestly say it's the best thing I've ever had in my kitchen. I've been able to cook a whole roast in it, and the roast potatoes are PERFECTION (they cook in 20 minutes). Because the Instant Vortex ClearCook has a glass front it means you don't have to keep opening and disrupting the cooking to check on the progress of your food - saving even more electricity than your bog-standard air fryer.

The Instant Vortex ClearCook also beeps to remind you to turn your food over - great when you're cooking things like chips and chicken breasts. I honestly couldn't reccomend this air fryer enough.

There's also loads of settings - including roast, bake, air fry, dehydrate and grill. It also reheats and keeps your food warm, so it really is a product that does everything.

It is expensive at £200, but if you have that sort of money to spend, I'd recommend it. You can buy the Instant Vortex ClearCook for £200 on the Argos website here.
