Air Fryer vs. Air Fryer Toaster Oven: Which One is Right for You?

Hello, culinary enthusiasts! 🙌 Today, we’re diving into a hot topic in the world of kitchen appliances: Air Fryers vs. Air Fryer Toaster Ovens. If you’ve been contemplating adding one of these to your kitchen arsenal, we’ve found an incredibly insightful video by America’s Test Kitchen that will help you make an informed decision. This video has garnered over 1.2 million views, making it a popular and trusted source for kitchen appliance reviews.

The Traditional Air Fryer 🍟

The traditional air fryer, as demonstrated by Lisa in the video, is a compact, drawer-style appliance that uses convection technology to circulate hot air around the food. This design is deemed the safest and most efficient, keeping you away from the heating element and ensuring even cooking.

The video features the Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart model, which emerged as the winner in their tests. It has a large capacity, able to accommodate portions for four people or even a whole four-pound chicken. It also has a non-stick interior for easy cleaning, and it preheats for just two minutes, which significantly improves its performance.

The Instant Vortex Plus is versatile, capable of roasting, baking, reheating, and broiling, in addition to air frying. Lisa even demonstrates how it can be used as a toaster and a cheesecake maker.

The Air Fryer Toaster Oven 🍞

On the other hand, the air fryer toaster oven, as shown by Hannah, is a larger appliance that combines the functionality of a toaster oven and an air fryer. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a second, smaller oven for your kitchen.

The Breville Smart Oven Air, their top pick, is praised for its digital interface, multiple rack levels, and the ability to accommodate larger bread slices. It also excels in air frying, producing crispy and delicious food. However, it’s worth noting that it’s larger and more expensive than a traditional air fryer.

For a less expensive option, they recommend the Oster model. While it doesn’t cook as evenly and is harder to clean, it does a reasonably good job of integrating air fryer technology and a toaster oven.

The Verdict 🏆

If you’re mostly interested in air frying and prefer a more compact and less expensive option, a traditional air fryer like the Instant Vortex Plus is a great choice. However, if you’re looking for a versatile appliance that can serve as a second oven, the Breville Smart Oven Air is worth considering, despite its larger size and higher price.
