A food window is a heat-proof glass window in the air fryer to allow inspection of the cook, without having to stop the cooking process by opening the door or removing the basket.

  • Air Fryer with a Rotisserie

    Air Fryer with a Rotisserie

    A rotisserie and rotating basket have been been features only previously found on expensive traditional ovens.

    Air Fryer Rotisserie

    As air fryer design improves new feature are becoming available to the home cook and in a much cheaper format than available in the past. This air fryer has a rotisserie for rotating the food to cook it more evenly without the need to turn it manually.

    The rotisserie is ideal for food like a chicken or joint of meat and employing the roasting fork, supplied. No need to stop and turn or flip the food as you do with a standard air fryer. Even roasting chickens need to be flipped over part way to ensure full cooking. With the rotisserie feature the food is turning all the time, automatically . Other foods like kebabs and corn can be fitted to the larger rotisserie kebab stick attachment.

    Rotating basket

    The rotisserie feature allows for the use of a rotating drum style basket attachment, supplied, for cooking food. The rotating drum basket can take smaller food like fries and vegetables and it continuously tumbles the food as its cooked. No need to turn or shake, just set the program and let the machine do the work.

    This can be a real time saver. Not because it takes a long time to shake a basket, but because you don’t need to attend the air fryer to shake the food. You can be doing something else, instead.

    Food Window

    The food window gives you a view of the food as it cooks. Much like a traditional oven you can just look to see how brown the food is getting. This feature is missing from many of the basket style air fryers but this model features a big window.

    Traditional layout

    The traditional hinge-down door and two removable shelves give advantages found in a traditional oven.

    These are:

    • A window on the food unhindered by a basket handle
    • Two shelves for pizzas.
    • Shelves are better for pizza than baskets
    • Possibility of a Rotisserie feature
    • Internal oven light

    The disadvantage to other hinge-down door air fryer models is the lack of a basket to shake. The basket shake is great for fries to keep them cooking evenly. The rotisserie feature makes up for the lack of basket shake and actually improves on it by continuously turning and tumbling the food.

    Large Capacity

    The 12 QT capacity is large for an air fryer. It has the space to fit either a

    • 4-5lbs whole chicken
    • Two 8in pizzas
    • 18 chicken wings
    • 4 steaks
    • 800g French fries.

    A good consideration for a family-sized air fryer.

    Air Fryer with a visible extra

    This basket-style air fryer has what most air fryers are missing. Something that most traditional ovens have…

    Window

    Most air fryers are missing the window on the food, which is a standard feature of most traditional ovens. If you are changing to an air fryer, the window is something you may miss. A window is helpful for checking the food is browning and can help gauge the done-ness.

    No View

    Most air fryers rely on pre-programmed modes and are easily open to check baskets. Opening the air fryer basket, observing the food, and closing the drawer is quick, and the stopping and re-starting are automatic and little heat is lost.

    Cooking Progress

    A quick look at the food’s colour gives an instant indication and even peace of mind about the cooking progress. This is where this mid-sized 6.2 QT Deime basket air fryer has its ace. The large window on the basket, only slightly obscured by the handle, tries to solve this problem. It is undoubtedly better than no window, but you don’t significantly improve without the light.
