What are the Best Air Fryers?
There’s so many on the market now. You just need to research and find the ones that fits your needs, capacity and style.
Tidylife 4.2 qt. Digital Air Fryer – This is our kitchen’s favorite airy fryer. Texture for several dishes came out noticeably better than other brands. This one tends to cook a little hotter and quicker.The non-stick basket style (non-wire base) & smoothness of the basket tray is great for cleaning up.
NuWave Brio 3 qt. Digital Air Fryer – This NuWave Air Fryer is great too and it’s our second favorite. The basket has wire base (which we found sticks a bit more) and it doesn’t have the 1/2 way reminder beep of some of the other brands, however still cooks great.This NuWave model has a lower temperature capability, which can give you more cooking options for foods that need lower temperatures. The lower temperature feature might be great for proofing breads!
Tiluxury 5.8 qt. Digital Air Fryer – It’s a good larger air fryer capable of cooking for larger families, especially when you need to cook more food. It’s great for cooking bigger batches (ie 4 salmon fillets instead of 2 or 2 lbs of fries instead of 1).We like that this Tiluxury 5.8qt has the non-stick basket (non-wire base). Makes for less sticking for delicate meals (ie baked fish fillets). Â And we like the digital interface (easier cleaning).
Oster Copper-Infused DuraCeramic 3.3 qt. Air Fryer – We love the copper infused ceramic coating on the basket and it good great. The knobs are easy to use and overall functionality is great.Plus, if you’re familiar with the Oster brand, they’re reliable and not too expensive.

- Shake several times for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd fryer basket.
- If using a sauce, it is added in just at the end, otherwise it will usually burn before the chicken wings are cooked.
