New to the air fryer experience and this one checked all of the boxes. Simple to use, easy to clean, quiet, large capacity. Hoped to get my kid cooking more, and it's worked. I'm still learning all of its uses, but I'm very happy with it so far.
Tried our new 6-qt Basket Air Fryer and found it quick, easy to use and with minimal clean up. Looking forward to trying it's many uses. Would recommend anyone trying it.
I have numerous Cuisinart appliances and until this Air Fryer I loved them all. The air fryer’s biggest flaw is the default air fry time. It is 20 minutes every time, so I have the press the down arrow over and over again to get to my most used time. Additionally, it doesn’t recall recently used times; it returns to 20 minutes. Last week I was making several batches of eggrolls. I had to keep going from 20 to 7 batch after batch. It is a pain.
The displayed 450 degree air fry temperature doesn’t seem to be accurate. Things I have always cooked at temperatures called out in the recipe take about 50 degrees higher to cook in this fryer.
The removable tray has a very small notch in the center that is supposed to serve as the handle. It is too small for tongs to grab.
I like it for the most part. It’s quiet, and roomy without taking up a lot of counter space. However, it does not have a “basket” that can be removed so that the food, i.e., French fries, can be dumped out into a bowl. Instead, food has to be scooped out with tongs or a spoon. Also, I wish the cooking time wouldn’t always start at 20 minutes. Most things I use it for need only 5 or 6 minutes, so I have to count down one second at a time from 20 each time I use it. My previous air fryer was a Philips, which is what I’m comparing the Cuisinart to.
