This BLACK+DECKER combines a six slice chamber that takes a 12 inch pizza with five functions: air fry, bake, broil, toast and keep warm. The air fry setting runs a convection fan with a perforated basket, which crisps food using hot air rather than oil. The maker claims up to 75 percent less fat than deep frying, which is a typical figure for the method.
It is the widest all-round package in the lineup. Next to the Hamilton Beach 4 slice combo it offers a bigger chamber, and next to the Easy Reach 6 slice air fry model it uses a conventional front door instead of a roll-top. The EvenToast feature targets the uneven browning that cheap ovens show.
An air fry basket holds a modest batch, so wings for a crowd take two rounds. Wash the basket and tray by hand to preserve any nonstick coating. Clear a spot with space above for hot exhaust. It is the best choice for a family that wants one appliance to do toast, pizza and crispy fries.
