CUISINART Basket Air Fryer

Cuisinart excellent products

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my new air fryer. I've never had one before, and people have been telling me for years that I absolutely have to get one but I was always just like yeah right. Well I finally decided it was time and after a bit of research, I settled on this one. Really happy with my decision.It's super easy to use and the control panel is basically self explanatory. It seems to be of good quality, but I've only been using it for a little over a week now.First thing right off the bat though is the incredible time savings, and the food is absolutely no different than out of the conventional oven, and in some cases it's even better out of the air fryer. When I want to make frozen tenders and fries in my conventional convection oven, it takes at least 15 minutes to preheat, then the tenders take another 24 minutes, for a total of like 40 minutes. Then the fries have to cook on a higher temperature so they take another 20 minutes and I'm looking at almost an hour to make tenders and fries. In the new air fryer, there is no preheating, I put the tenders and fries right in the basket together and cooked them for 13 minutes. Dumped them out on my plate and they were completely hot and crispy chicken tenders and fries that were even better than out of the oven. I saved about 45 minutes. Tonight I wanted a garlic knot with my leftovers, and that would have normally been a 15 minute preheat plus a 6 or 7 minute bake, but for tonight I did it for 5 minutes in the air fryer and it was lighter and crispier and better than out of the oven.Also, I reheated cold pizza in it and it came out hot and crispy in like 6 minutes.Highly recommend this air fryer! Looks really stylish on the counter, and it appears to be of good quality. The price was very reasonable as well. But the absolute biggest benefit from it is the extreme time savings in cooking food and how hot and crispy everything has been.

I love this Cuisinart Air Fryer! The 6-Quart capacity is perfect for me and the window feature is handy. It is very easy to use and it cleans up easily and quickly. Everything I've made in it so far has turned out perfectly....chicken wings, baby back ribs, Italian sausage links, frozen butterfly shrimp, roasted bell peppers. I highly recommend it!

This is my first basket air fryer, I have a big and bulky airfryer oven combo as well. Thought I would try the basket style mainly for easier cleanup and it’s smaller. I got it yesterday and have used it 3 times already. Didn’t bother reading the instruction manual as all the buttons on the front of the machine are self explanatory. First thing I made was roasted artichokes. I used a paper liner for easier cleanup and they turned out beautifully. Next was hasselback potatoes, and this am I made diced breakfast potatoes. This Cuisinart is easy to use, quieter than my other machine, and love all the features it has. The turn/flip food alert is great, you can turn it on or off. Also has a keep warm function. There are buttons for wings, fries, etc. or you can adjust the temperature and timer for what ever you are making. I find it is durable and high quality, and the 6 quart is a great size. My only complaint is the crisper unit is somewhat flimsy, and feel like it will break easily. Looking forward to making my husband some wings next weekend. Overall I am highly satisfied and happy with this purchase.

This is substantial and feels like it will last. I generally keep it on one side of my glass stovetop because it has a large footprint.I’ve owned two different toaster-oven/air fryers, and I thought I was making a smart, versatile decision. However, air fry directions were never accurate on snacks, and the appliance gets sticky-dirty with that weird airborne grease (like ovens do).This unit (6-quart) makes gorgeous, toasty snacks following package instructions, and crinkle fries in particular are a hundred times better than I’ve ever gotten in the real oven or a toaster oven, even in a metal “air fry” basket.I love that the drawer and tray are washable, versus me watching everything go nasty over time. I don’t have a dishwasher, but I can spray some Dawn power-wash and easily wash them off later. I also like that there’s no teflon on the inside rack.I feel like I was an idiot for not buying one sooner. It’s so convenient! Bonus: I hate that smell of baking metal and electric heat when I use my full-sized oven, and this appliance completely eliminates that noxious smell.
