The Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven is a multi-functional appliance that's compact in size but comprehensive in nature. For smaller households and kitchens, ...
Since the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven comes with an array of functions, we were keen to test as many of them as possible. As mentioned in our overview, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven comes with three non-stick trays: an air frying basket, a baking tray, and an oven rack. For our frozen thick-cut fries, we set the temperature of the mini oven to 440oF / 230oC per Cuisinart’s instructions. For optimal performance and longevity, Cuisinart stresses in its product information booklet the importance of regularly cleaning this mini oven. While its 17-liter capacity appears impressive at first, unless you get your hands on a second air frying basket, which sits beneath the Cuisinart-supplied one (and run the risk of interfering too much with the airflow), the actual air frying capacity is a pretty average at 3lbs. On the front of the windowed oven you’ll find four control dials for selecting the cooking time, temperature, function and level of toasting. It’s one of the larger air fryers we’ve reviewed – but when you consider that it offers an additional six cooking modes that might reduce the number of small appliances you need in your kitchen, it’s a fair trade-off. The US model weighs in at 21lb, with the UK model 12kg, so it probably isn’t an appliance you’ll want to be moving between cupboards and countertops with any regularity. The Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven is certainly roomy, offering a large 17-liter capacity. In the box you’ll also find three non-stick trays – an air-frying basket, a baking tray, and an oven rack. Still, for its uniqueness in the market, its design and performance, we’d say the price isn’t at all unreasonable. If you’re looking for an appliance that’s full-service, versatile and space-saving, one that will deliver the crispy air-fried chips of your dreams, then look no further than the Cuisinart Air Fryer Mini Oven.
