Air Fryer for the galley
Hot-air fryers are becoming increasingly popular, especially due to the trend towards purely electric cooking, even on boats. It is practical if the appliance is compact and lightweight, such as the Easy Fry XL Surface from Tefal. It measures 39 x 34 x 20 centimetres and weighs almost five kilograms. Higher power is an advantage, and the XL offers a powerful 2,200 watts. The modern harbour network can still cope with this, but a standard on-board inverter is unlikely to.
According to Tefal, the appliance is extremely versatile and can, for example, prepare one kilogram of fries, up to 25 chicken wings or a 27-centimetre pizza. The Air Fryer has ten fully automatic programmes that can be easily set via the display. Thanks to advanced hot air technology, the Easy Fry is said to enable delicious meals with little or no oil and cooks with double heating coils as well as top and bottom heat. Rare and useful: thanks to the interior lighting and practical viewing window, the user can keep an eye on the cooking process at all times.

Drink more beautifully with Delft cups
No one has ever claimed that only non-slip or unbreakable cups are allowed on board. Stylish is also possible: at Tassengott, the name says it all. Beautiful Delft cups, some with golden decorations and unusual motifs such as birds, flowers and butterflies. Of course, the range also includes maritime designs: ceramic bowls, glasses, coasters and tablecloths. This mug with a fish look and gold-coloured handle was designed by Redmer Hoekstra. His illustrations are instantly recognisable by their humorous and dreamy style. Price: 21.80 euros. More information: tassengott.de
Cordless vacuuming keeps things fresh for longer
Simply place the battery-operated pump on the valve of the boxes or bags. At the touch of a button, the air is removed from the containers and the pump stops automatically as soon as sufficient vacuum is reached. This preserves flavours and nutrients for longer. In addition to the pump, the starter set includes two vacuum bags and two plastic vacuum boxes with a capacity of 1.1 and 2.3 litres. Boxes and even the bags are freezer, dishwasher and microwave safe. They are heat-resistant up to 100 degrees Celsius. Starter set for 70 euros. More information: zwilling.com
