Review Of The Best Cuisinart Air Fryer And Toaster Oven
Most toaster-oven air fryers come with better accessories, too, like a baking pan, an air fryer basket, or multiple oven racks. As far as air-frying goes, the Breville did a great job on the french fries and chicken wings we tested. It did take a bit longer to cook compared to the other air fryers. I think this is mostly because the Breville Smart Oven Air does have a larger space to heat up.
To toast bread, bagels, English muffins, or other items first set the function dial to Toast. Set the temperature to Toast/Broil then set the on/Toast Timer to the desired setting, from light cuisinart pots and pans set to dark. The timer will ding when the cycle has ended and the oven will turn off. Those functions include usual broiling and baking, convection options, air frying, warming, and making toast.
There’s even a food guide printed right on the machine so you don’t have to get their cookbook out. Actually, if you never want to get their cookbook out, you don’t have to because they have a smartphone app with tons of recipes you can view digitally. The app is full of great recipes from ratatouille to brownies – the Philips air fryer is for more than just french fries.
Went online to check out how to replace it and saw that many others have had the same problem with the oven light. It also appears that the entire oven has to be taken apart to replace the bulb, so we won’t be replacing it. I don’t think it’s enough of a problem to return the unit, because you can always open the door and peep in. Almost wish it didn’t have that feature so I wouldn’t miss it. The Breville Smart Oven Air is equipped to air fry and dehydrate on four different racks at once .
However I wish the air fryer basket and tray underneath were dishwasher safe which would make cleaning them so much easier. Also crumbs have a tendency to fall between the glass door and the cuisinart soup maker crumb tray which makes cleaning it a little more difficult. So far I like the unit very much and use it almost every day. The air fryer basket is difficult to clean, and rather flimsy.

I set it on the setting and turned the temp to 450 and it took over 10 minutes. As mentioned above, the other reason I definitely wanted a combo air fryer toaster oven vs just a regular air fryer–it’s SO much easier to clean. Just like a regular toaster oven–slide out the trays, run it under some water with soap and a sponge, and that’s it. We found that pod-shaped air fryers often had more-powerful fans, but this wasn’t necessarily a good thing, since they could produce dried-out foods and overcooked cakes. And the “fryer” baskets in pod-shaped models were too limited. Even filled to capacity, they could fit only a couple of servings of food at a time, which isn’t practical for larger households.
