Air frying has come full circle. When we started testing pod-shaped air fryers in 2017, we concluded that they were too cramped and not versatile. We’ve since come around, but we still think convection toaster ovens (which use the same technology) can cook a wider variety of foods more evenly, if a little slower. Now, more and more companies are bridging the gap by making amped-up convection toaster ovens—sold as “air fryer toaster ovens”—with extra-powerful fans that produce crispy results in shorter times. After testing dozens of models, we think the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the only one that’s both an excellent air fryer and an excellent toaster oven—but it’s pricey.
