Full list of air fryers recalled as owners told to stop use immediately
Air fryers have become increasingly popular in Ireland, with many households investing in them as a way to eat healthier while cutting down on energy costs. By using rapid hot air circulation to cook food, air fryers drastically reduce the need for oil, helping to lower calorie intake and saturated fat consumption compared to traditional frying methods. Beyond their health benefits, air fryers also promise to be more economical than using an oven. Many Irish homes are struggling with the ongoing cost of living crisis, and air fryers can cook food faster, which means reduced energy consumption and lower electricity bills. But despite their growing presence in Irish kitchens, some air fryers have been flagged as a serious safety risk. In recent months, several major recalls have been issued due to fire hazards. Owners of certain models are now being urged to stop using them immediately.
