Aldi supermarket has sourced their brand dual basket air fryer for stocking in their local stores and marked up at £89.99 with a delivery option available.
Discount Supermarket
Aldi and Lidl are discount supermarkets with occasional bargain kitchen appliances in stock.
We have tried many of their products over the years and have been very happy with the quality provided. They do last well and have offered good value for money. I don’t see why the new Ambiano Dual Basket Air Fryer would be different.
Ambiano
It is a branding of an Aldi product. Aldi doesn’t actually make them, but the specifications are set by Aldi, and so is the price. You can get a good spec machine for a reasonable price from Aldi. The Ambiano Dual Basket Air Fryer has a three-year warranty to give you peace of mind.
Dual Basket
The advantage of dual baskets is the possibility to cook two different meals, at two different temperatures, in two different modes, in the same machine, and at the same time.
This dual basket feature can make things run much more smoothly in the kitchen, but it does have one drawback. You won’t notice it when cooking fries because each 4L basket can take a portion to cook on each side. But the issue arises when cooking a large joint or a whole chicken.
With the large yet single basket 6L to 8L air fryers, you can fit a whole small chicken in there.
You are limited to two 4L baskets with the Dual Basket air fryers. Each is not big enough for a chicken, but a single 8L air fryer would also have ample room and space for roasties.
Consideration
Consider if roasting chickens and larger single meals is something you need from your air fryer. Or would a Dual Basket like the Aldi Ambiano Dual Basket Air Fryer suit your needs?
Cooking Programmes
Cooking programmes are great and make things more ‘one touch’. Less thinking about times and temperatures and more on the food. The Aldi Ambiano Dual Basket air fryer has 7 Pre-set cooking programmes. These are:
- Reheat
- Defrost
- Keep warm
- Fry
- Bake
- Grill
- Roast
- Dehydrate
The Dehydrate feature is not often found on the cheaper air fryers, and this is a notable feature and well worth considering this model if the dehydrate feature is helpful to you.
Size, Weight and Capacity
The Ambiano Dual Basket Air Fryer measures approximately 40 x 35 x 32.5cm.
It weighs in at 8 kg and has two 4L baskets.
You can see if your local Aldi has stock or arrange for delivery on their web page.
This is a perfect option at under £90 for a dual-basket air fryer.
