Air Fryer Tops Oven for Pigs in Blankets With Faster, Crisper, Juicier Results

Recent tests plus a new recipe point home cooks to 180C for 15–20 minutes with an optional honey–mustard glaze.

Overview

  • Informal side‑by‑side trials reported across UK outlets found air‑fried pigs in blankets juicier with crisper bacon than oven versions.
  • Air fryers delivered finished results in about 15 minutes versus roughly 25 minutes in a conventional oven.
  • Reporters noted more even browning in the air fryer and little to no need for flipping, unlike the oven’s mid‑cook turn.
  • Practical guidance suggests preheating to 180C and cooking for 15–20 minutes, with some recipes advising a halfway turn and a honey–Dijon glaze.
  • Coverage frames the advice as home‑kitchen testing and recipe guidance, with outcomes varying by fryer model and sausage size, plus the benefit of freeing oven space for the rest of the meal.
