Most-recommended air fryer for home cooking. 5.8 L basket fits 4 servings, accurate temperature (verified ±2 °C), dishwasher-safe basket.
Pre-cut perforated parchment for the basket — air still circulates, but cleanup is one step. The single biggest convenience upgrade.
The most reliable doneness signal for any protein. Stops the guesswork — chicken at 74 °C, salmon at 63 °C, every time.
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus — they break naturally at the right spot.
Bundle asparagus into groups of 3-4 spears. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder.
Wrap each bundle with 1-2 bacon strips in a spiral, tucking the bacon ends underneath.
Arrange bundles seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 200 °C (390 °F) for 10-12 minutes, until bacon is crisp and asparagus is tender-bright.
Sprinkle with parmesan if using. Serve immediately — bacon loses crisp fast.
Two independent baskets for cooking protein + side at once. Best for families of 4+ or batch cookers. Premium pick.
Won't scratch the non-stick basket. Heat-safe to 230 °C. The right tool to flip wings, drumsticks, and crispy bits without damage.
Skip parchment liners entirely. Dishwasher safe, lasts years, fits standard 5-6 L baskets. Better long-term cost than disposables.
