Air Fryer 6 Liter Hoffmans Brand 2400 watts

An air fryer is a countertop cooking appliance that combines a heating element and a powerful fan to circulate hot air, similar to a convection oven. Air fryers produce foods that are crispy outside and moist and tender inside without actual frying. Philips invented the original air fryer and debuted it at a European consumer electronics fair in 2010. Since then, the category has exploded. By some estimates, more than 25 million air fryers were sold in the U.S. over the past two years. Philips’ original brand name, Airfryer, has now become the generic term for the category.

Air fryers on the market today come in two basic styles: those with cooking baskets and those that are like toaster ovens with an air fryer convection feature. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and weights. They are also available at a range of price points, with some small models costing as little as $40 and larger multi-use models running upwards of $300. The proliferation of models and manufacturers has produced a range of features, with many multi-functional units offering cooking options beyond air frying, including roasting, toasting, baking, dehydrating, rotisserie, and more. Some models feature parts that are dishwasher-safe for easy clean up.

Important considerations when choosing an air fryer include how you intend to use it, what foods you intend to cook in it, how many people you plan to feed, how much counter space you have available, and your sensitivity to noise and heat. Since it’s likely to live on your countertop, aesthetics are another factor to consider.
