Aldi’s new 8-litre air fryer means you can easily and quickly cook healthy meals that don’t taste healthy – think crispy potato wedges and chicken.

Its bigger size means you can easily fit a family-sized meal inside the air fryer’s drawer.

The 1800-watt digital air fryer comes with seven preset cooking functions and a 30-minute timer.

It also has a non-stick coating and removable frying basket making cleaning a breeze.

In the past, the Special Buys item has had the tick of approval on Facebook, where shoppers praised the kitchen gadget.

“Husband and I use ours regularly for about three years,” one person wrote, while another added: “We love ours. Use it all the time.”

WHAT IS AN AIR FRYER?

Air fryers cook meals by circulating hot air around food, creaking a crispy outside similar to deep-fried food.

According to Healthline, you can use just one teaspoon of oil to make fries in an air fryer that taste almost identical to the much less healthy deep-fried version.

The cooking gadget has been labelled as a sneaky way to lose weight, with Married At First Sight star and WW ambassador Jules Robinson previously labelling the air fryer her secret weight loss weapon.

“Cam and I have got an air fryer at the moment and we’re a bit obsessed with putting everything in there. You feel like you’re having KFC and you’re not,” she previously told news.com.au.

“It’s actually an amazing machine.”
