British households are rapidly embracing energy-efficient cooking, with many families reportedly ditching their traditional ovens for a kitchen appliance championed by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. The shift comes as a major retailer offers a significant price reduction on a popular model.
Massive Price Drop on Popular Appliance
Amazon has dramatically cut the price of the Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer, making it more accessible to cost-conscious consumers. The device, which originally retailed for £179.99, has been reduced by a substantial 44%, bringing its new price down to just £99.99.
This isn't just any air fryer; it's the very model used by Jamie Oliver himself to create some of his own air fryer meals, adding a seal of culinary approval to the product.
Features and Performance
The Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer is designed for versatility and family use. It boasts two separate drawers—one large 5.2-litre basket and a smaller 3.1-litre one—giving it a combined capacity of 8.3 litres. This is enough space to prepare up to six portions of food at once.
The appliance promises to perform a multitude of cooking tasks, including air frying, crisping, roasting, baking, reheating, and even dehydrating. A key selling point is its efficiency; it claims to cook food 40% faster than a conventional oven while saving up to 70% on energy.
For health-conscious cooks, it also uses less fat to achieve crispy results. Cleaning is simplified with a non-stick surface and dishwasher-safe baskets.
What the Customers Are Saying
The product has been well-received on Amazon, earning an impressive 4.6 out of 5 stars from 1,937 reviews.
One satisfied customer, Adam Carter, praised its simplicity, stating it is "So easy to use, reduces cook time. Easy to clean. Couldn't be without it for doing meals."
Another user, Lainey W, highlighted its impact on their cooking habits, commenting, "Family size can cook whole chicken, slices of fish etc... fantastic gadget. I no longer use my oven."
Rachel added to the positive feedback, confirming its daily use and even its capability for a family Christmas dinner. She particularly valued the Sync feature, which allows both drawers to be set to finish cooking simultaneously, even when preparing different items at varying temperatures. This ensures the whole family can eat together without stress.
However, some users noted a learning curve with the controls. One reviewer mentioned struggling to use the smaller basket independently and found the multi-language manual, with its very small print, challenging to navigate.
Alternative Options
For those considering other models, the market offers several choices. The Beko ExpertFry Dual Zone Air fryer (8.5L) is available for £99 at Currys, down from its original price of £139. Alternatively, the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer is also on sale, currently priced at £179.99, reduced from £229.99.
The trend is clear: as energy bills remain a concern for UK families, efficient appliances like dual-zone air fryers are becoming an essential part of the modern kitchen, offering a quicker, cheaper, and healthier way to cook.
