Any excess fat dripped down below the grill plate and the chops had some bar marks, but they weren’t very prominent. Sure, it’s a hell of a thing that is big and bulky, but get it into position and start exploring all those settings and you soon start wondering how you managed without it. It claims to air fry up to 70% quicker than earlier Russell Hobbs models; this wasn’t tested, but it did cook our chicken to succulent, golden perfection in a faster-than-most 30 minutes (simply press the chicken icon on the casing and it presets the optimal temperature and cooking time.
