Cuisinart release a new basket air fryer, and we’re excited to see how it lands

Used the baking feature several times and it’s just overcooked and/or charred everything to death if I went by the instructions. The stainless steel baking pan and air frying basket are easy to clean. Most of the time we used the dishwasher to clean the air fryer basket and baking tray. Both can fit in most dishwashers but should be placed on the top rack.

This article will break down each model’s features, specifications, pros and cons so you can make an informed decision about which one will meet your needs best.

Doughnuts, chicken breast, and tater tots all proved to be a bit challenging for the TOA-60’s air fry function. The doughnuts came out quite burned, the chicken breast was overly chewy, and the tater tots were unevenly cooked. Needless to say, the TOA-60 simply does not offer an even cooking experience. The proof setting offers a low temperature range from 80 to 100 degrees F (for up to 2 hours). Directions advise that the first proof should be done at room temperature and then the dough is to be divided, shaped and proofed in the TOA-65. This was a little disappointing and I was not able to fit all my dinner rolls on the baking pan for their second proof.

The major design difference between the TOA-60 and TOA-65 is the interface. The TOA-60 model is a completely manual interface with four knobs that toggle temperature, time, presets and function. The TOA-65 is a digital interface with buttons that allow you to set the temperature, toggle the presets and functions and set the timer. This is all controlled using a digital display showing the cooking temperature that’s adjustable up to 450F. As directed, I preheated the oven for five minutes on the bake function, then put the muffins in and set the timer for 20 minutes. They weren’t quite done when the timer went off, so I added five more minutes.

You can enjoy your meal without the extra grease that deep fryers have. The TOA-65 includes a handy pull-out crumb tray (which does the job) and features interior sides coated with nonstick. My piece of equipment needed a clean after testing — the broiled salmon was the limit. A microfiber cloth damp with a mild soap solution did the trick and the outside only needed a quick wipe-down and dry.

How well the toasters or toaster ovens produced a batch of even, medium-brown toast. With a 9 x 9in cooking surface, there should be plenty of room to cook your food evenly and, with that size, we’re excited to roast a whole chicken in it. The Basket cuisinart choppers Air Fryer also has a timer up to 60 minutes and you’ll get a reminder when it’s time to toss your food, so you can sit back and relax until the food needs flipping. I also used the bake setting to bake up a small batch of my favorite granola recipe.
