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.
Cut brioche slices into 4 sticks each (so 32 sticks total).
Whisk eggs, milk, cream, 2 tbsp sugar, vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until smooth.
Dip each stick in custard for 3-4 seconds per side. Don't soak — over-soaked bread becomes mushy.
Place sticks in single layer in air fryer. Mist with oil or brush with melted butter.
Air fry at 190 °C (375 °F) for 7-9 minutes, flipping at 4 min, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, mix 50 g sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon in a shallow dish.
Toss hot sticks in cinnamon-sugar immediately while still hot.
Serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping.
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.
