Our Favorite Air Fryer Toaster Oven Is Sleek and Spacious—and Nearly Half Off for October Prime Day

While we’ve broken down how air fryers and air frying convection ovensare *distinct* entities, we admit the convenience of having one gadget that does it all (toast, air fry, bake, roast, etc.) is appealing. So when we went into our testing ofair fryer toaster ovens, we wanted to find one that truly could bring the heat (er, crunch?) when it came to air frying. While many products dazzled, one stood out above the crowd:the Calphalon Air Fryer Oven.

Why It Won Our Review

This spacious, sleek air fryer toaster oven caught our eye at first glance, but its prowess went beyond its appealing aesthetics. It also toasted like a champ, yielding perfect, gently golden slabs of bread—a basic task that not every air fryer toaster oven aced. Another thing we liked was that the air fryer baskets slot into the notches inside the oven, which led to optimal airflow. In other ovens, you had to place the baskets on a rack, impeding convection. The slotted-in baskets, paired with a powerful convection fan, successfully crisped up even day-old chicken wings—no small feat. The Calphalon also sported an easy-to-use dial interface, with a precise timer that included seconds. Oh, and for an air fryer toaster oven (which often billows steam), it did a decent job of preventing our kitchen from fogging up. Overall, it’s a fabulous option if you’re looking for a toaster oven with air-frying capabilities, and now that it’s more than half off, you can toast, air fry, bake, broil, and more at the mere touch of a button and spin of a dial.

FAQs

Can you toast bread in an air fryer toaster oven?

Yes! That said, not all of the ovens we tested were as capable of this basic task. Some produced unevenly toasted slabs of bread, while others singed and blackened them. The Calphalon impressed us with perfectly golden, evenly toasted bread every time.

What’s the best way to clean the glass door of an air fryer toaster oven?

Ah, the speckled, splattered toaster oven glass door is a formidable foe. But, we have found success tackling its greasy grime with the清洁先生神奇的橡皮擦and some good old-fashioned elbow grease.
