Seven donuts at a time: Both halves of the clamshell carry matching ring moulds, so a single batch gives you seven evenly shaped mini donuts. Batter goes in, the lid closes, and both sides cook at once - which is why a round takes minutes rather than the wait a deep-fryer or oven needs.

Non-stick plates: The aluminium moulds are non-stick coated, so finished donuts lift out cleanly and the plates wipe down with a damp cloth once cool. No oil bath and no scrubbing baked-on batter out of the rings.

Baked, not fried: Because it bakes on contact rather than frying, you use only the fat that is already in your batter. It is a much less messy way to make donuts at home, and it works just as well for mini pancakes or a quick sweet snack.

Built to be handled safely: The handle is heat-insulated so you can open the unit mid-bake, and a MIN-MAX dial on the lid lets you dial the browning up or down. Two indicator lights tell you when it is powered and when it has come up to heat.

Stays put on the counter: Rubberised feet stop it sliding when you open and close the lid, and built-in overheating protection cuts in if it is left running.
