Common questions about this product, answered.
Q.How many people does the 9L Kenwood air fryer feed, and will a whole chicken fit?
A.The 9L single large basket is one of the biggest air-fryer sizes available, so it suits a family of about 5-6 or batch-cooking. The roomy basket fits a whole chicken with room for sides, or a large batch of chips, wings or roast veg in one go. If you usually cook for just 1-2 people, this is more capacity than you need, and the smaller Kenwood 6L sibling is a better match for compact households. — PriceJive
Q.Is the basket dishwasher-safe and easy to clean?
A.The 9L basket is a removable, non-stick part, so most food lifts off with a soft sponge and warm soapy water. For stuck-on residue, soak the basket in hot water with a drop of detergent for about 10 minutes before wiping. Use a non-abrasive sponge to protect the non-stick coating, and never put the main motor housing in water. Dishwasher suitability is not confirmed for this model, so check your unit's manual before putting any part in the dishwasher. — PriceJive
Q.Does it actually fry, and do I still need oil?
A.It cooks by circulating hot air rather than submerging food in oil, so it crisps and browns the way frying does without deep-frying. You don't put food in a vat of oil; a light spray or toss of oil helps chips, wings and crumbed items crisp and colour evenly, while foods that already contain fat often need none at all. The result is fried-style texture using far less oil than a traditional deep-fryer. — PriceJive
Q.What's in the box, and does it come with a warranty?
A.You get the air-fryer unit with its single removable non-stick basket and the instruction manual. The unit is finished in black. Exact inclusions (such as any recipe book) and the warranty length vary by model and retailer, so confirm both on your specific retailer's listing or the Kenwood warranty card before buying rather than relying on a general figure. — PriceJive
