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.
Blend eggs, cottage cheese, gruyère, salt, and pepper in a blender until completely smooth — 30 seconds.
Distribute the crumbled bacon (or ham) evenly into 6 silicone muffin liners or a silicone egg-bite mold.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, filling each cup ¾ full. Top with shredded cheddar.
Place the silicone mold in the air fryer basket. If using individual liners, arrange in a single layer.
Air fry at 150 °C (300 °F) for 12-15 minutes. Lower temperature is intentional — gives the silky sous-vide-style texture.
Test doneness: a toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean, with very minor moisture. They continue setting as they cool.
Sprinkle with chives. Cool 2 minutes before unmolding.
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.
