If you notice the empty space over my left shoulder, it’s because the KitchenAid Toaster Oven Air Fryer is a daily staple in our home. In this review, I'll explain why this appliance is indispensable, showcasing its features and benefits.
Preheating and Cooking Performance
The KitchenAid Toaster Oven Air Fryer preheats to 425°F in just 5 minutes. While preheating, I’ll demonstrate how easy it is to use. I’m preparing chicken tenders today, which are a favorite in our household. The adjustable rack heights make it versatile for various foods, from bagels to baked goods.
User-Friendly for All Ages
My kids, aged 11 and 12, use this appliance daily for their favorite snacks like chicken tenders, bagels, and toast. The simplicity of the controls makes it accessible for everyone.
Fast and Efficient Cooking
After a 5-minute preheat, the chicken tenders take about 20 minutes to cook to perfection—crispy on the outside, just the way we like them. The included tray measures 13.5 by 9.5 inches, perfect for various dishes. While the oven remains warm, I’ll quickly whip up some nachos.
Quick Snacks Anytime
The KitchenAid Toaster Oven Air Fryer is perfect for quick snacks. Whether it’s a late-night craving or a post-school snack, it’s incredibly convenient. For instance, nachos take only about 5 minutes to heat up, thanks to the oven's efficient performance.
Comparisons and Cost
We’ve tested numerous products, like the Ninja Flex Door Dual Air Oven, but none have impressed us like the KitchenAid. Although it was priced at $500 CAD a year ago, it’s now available for $299 CAD, making it a worthwhile investment.
Versatile and Spacious
The spacious interior can accommodate multiple chickens or even a 10-12 lb turkey. The dimensions are approximately 19 inches deep, 18 inches wide, and 13.5 inches high, ensuring ample cooking space for large meals.
Additional Features
The control panel offers various settings, including toast, bagel, bake, broil, air fry, dehydrate, meat probe, convection bake, roast, keep warm, reheat, and proof. This versatility makes it more than just a toaster oven.
Toasting Perfection
Using the bagel setting, you can achieve the perfect toast in just over 5 minutes. The results are consistent and customizable to your preferred level of crispiness.
Easy Maintenance
Cleaning is a breeze, especially if you primarily bake rather than air fry. The crumb tray is easy to remove, and the interior remains relatively clean with minimal maintenance.
Conclusion
The KitchenAid Toaster Oven Air Fryer is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It’s versatile, user-friendly, and efficient. Although we are not affiliated with KitchenAid, we highly recommend this product based on our positive experience.
