Cuisinart - TOA-55WM

what types of foods do you find the basket to excel at? i have a [Cuisinart CT0A122](https://www.target.com/p/cuisinart-air-fryer-toaster-oven-stainless-steel-ctoa-122/-/A-88956563) as well and really love it. do not "fry" much in it beyond frozen french fries and chicken tenders (both come out well).

Forgot about wings. Yes they do come out well on air fry in the cusinart. Interesting you mention steak - I have been trying to improve my steaks. I was quite happy with the cusinart air fry until I had to do a cast iron and 500F oven and realized how it did not stack up. I will have to investigate this further. Do you have any suspicion about what in the air fryer is better for those uses?

I know a lot of people who are blind, who have the story air fryer is Wi-Fi capable, and they use it. I don’t have one of those. I am a cook. I don’t believe in running and kitchen appliances, that could cause fires with an app. I have the large model of the Cuisinart toaster oven air fryer. It has control knobs on it, easy to use, I have no site whatsoever. I love the model that I have with the control lamps, they also make one that’s a smaller model with control knobs, and now they even have one and this is the one I wanna get after mine breaks down, they have one that is called the Cuisinart toaster air fryer grill, it has a grill portrait in the air fryer. That’s the one I want, but not until after this one breaks down. And the reason I say that I don’t believe you should control kitchen appliances, especially ones that are meant for cooking, with an app, what happens if you are complete Internet goes down you’re going to have to try and manually use the to air fryer, but if you can’t see, how are you going to use that, especially if you live independently. I live by myself I don’t always have sided help, this is why I chose the Cuisinart, cause somebody can’t always come running over if I need them. now this is just all my opinion, I’m sure they’re gonna be people who don’t agree with it, but that’s all right. I wish you the best of luck. I love my air fryer.

I have a Cuisinart, which I love. It has toaster, bake, broil, convection and air fryer modes. It's generally been a champ. I'm not sure which model, but it has analog knobs rather than electronic controls, and I love that.

I have that lid, too, but it’s bulky and I rarely use it because the “air fryer”basket is so small. It’s great for roasting frozen chicken if you just want one or two pieces and haven’t had time to defrost. I much prefer my Cuisinart “toaster oven broiler” with convection. Add a basket and it’s sort of an air fryer, too, but it can accommodate a much larger 13” pan, a quarter baking sheet, etc.

Cuisinart makes a nice little combo Air Fryer/Toaster/Air Bake oven. Have one, love it. But the microwave is a necessity for reheating leftovers!

It’s not cheap, but I would spend the money to get a Cuisinart air fryer/oven combo. I have a larger combo microwave/oven that I almost never use, but we use the air fryer every day (toast, pizzas, roasting veggies, cooking proteins, etc). It came with a small baking stone and a couple of small pans. It’s not super tall, so breads or cakes can be a little tricky, but it’s fantastic.

Cuisinart makes a stainless steel air fryer with convection and toaster oven combo. I won’t use anything else! It’s great.

I have a different but similar Cuisinart air fryer/oven, and I love it. I think I use it more than the microwave most days. My only gripe with it is that the knob on my model (it only has one) is wonky, and sometimes you turn it up and the numbers go down, or vice versa. It needs to be turned with just the right amount of pressure to get the knob to work right. Also, I cook 90% of food at 375 degrees regardless of the package directions. If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly.

Here's a great tip. All cuisineart products are Teflon free. Their air fryer combo oven is an godsend and I cannot recommend it enough.

Same for us. Very happy with it, but I will say it doesn’t get battered food quite as crispy as some air friers. 2-3x better than a normal oven but a step behind what you see in air fryer videos.
