5-quart air fryer
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
What it is
A basket air fryer in a mid size: fries, a tray of wings, or last night's pizza, without heating the whole oven. Five quarts is a small family, not a party.
Pros
- One basket is easier to wash than a glass cooker with extra parts.
- It reheats breaded food so it crackles again, which a microwave will not do.
- The footprint is smaller than a toaster oven that also fries.
Cons
- You cannot watch the food the way you can through a glass pot.
- A roast or a crowd still belongs in the oven.
Who it's for
Weeknight sides and frozen food for two to four people.
Who should skip it
You want one machine that also toasts and bakes a tray of cookies.
How it compares
Glass air fryer, grey
The glass air fryer is smaller and you can see the food. Choose it for one or two people. Choose this basket when you want more room.
Toaster oven that also air fries
The flip toaster oven fries and also toasts. It takes more counter. This basket is the simpler buy if you already own a toaster.
