I’ve used the broil function to make steak and have also baked pork chops, and was pleased with both. The air fry mode also works well and made my French fries crunchy and tasty; not having to use oil also made them healthier and made cleanup a lot easier. The nonstick, countertop toaster oven includes a removable crumb tray, air fry basket, broil pan, and baking rack. It comes with a one-year warranty.
Pros:
- Large capacity to cook 2 meals at once
- Great price
- Air fry feature
Cons:
- Doesn’t have touch controls
The Café Couture Oven With Air Fry is a work of art, but thankfully it’s functional art! The lightweight toaster oven has 14 cooking presets: air fry, bake, broil, roast, keep warm, reheat, toast, bagel, pizza, cookies, slow cook, dehydrate, proof, and crisp finish. I’ve used it to air fry salmon, bake pizza, air fry chocolate chip cookies, and broil chicken thighs, and everything has come out completely delicious. I use the crisp finish feature to melt the pizza topping and brown or crisp chicken thighs.
The oven, which weighs 28 pounds, is 18.5 inches long, 14 inches high, and 17 inches deep. It has an internal capacity of 0.8 cubic feet—which isn’t as large as some selections on our list, but it can hold a 12-inch pizza or a 9-by-12-inch pan. It’s a smart oven, with the option to use the controls on the display panel (my preference) or download the SmartHQ App to control it.
Accessories include a baking rack, a 12-inch pizza pan, an air fry/dehydrate basket, a wire rack, and a crumb tray. The oven is made of cast-iron aluminum with a choice of three finishes—stainless steel, matte black, or matte white—and each has polished copper and brushed copper accents.
Pros:
- Beautiful design in three different finishes
- Crisp finish feature
- Wi-Fi connected
Cons:
One interesting feature on the Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven is the dual cook feature. It allows me to combine two cooking functions or two temperatures to run consecutively. I tested it with one of the recommended recipes: ultimate nachos (which includes tortilla chips, beans, and tomatoes). I baked the meal for five minutes and then broiled it for another five so the cheese could melt and brown. Dual cook can be used with the bake, broil, roast, pizza, low, warm, and air fry functions.
The countertop oven actually has 12 functions: toast, bagel, bake, broil, pizza, roast, dehydrate, proof, low, air fry, reheat, and warm. I’ve made pizza, broiled pork chops, and air-fried shrimp and french fries with equal success.
The oven’s dimensions are 21.73 inches long, 15.75 inches high, and 17 inches deep, and it weighs 20.3 pounds. The lightweight and nonstick oven also uses touch controls and a dial. Accessories include an oven rack, a baking pan, and an air fry basket. The oven’s interiors are nonstick, but the baking pan isn’t. The appliance has a three-year limited warranty.
Pros:
- Dual cook feature
- 12 cooking functions
- Air fryer
- Extended warranty
