This post is brought to you in partnership with Cuisinart.
Let’s talk about air fryers. Do you have one? Do you want one? What do you cook with it — or want to cook?! Tell us everything.
We’ve been seeing air fryer recipes pop up all over the place and have been feeling some serious FOMO. They promise everything from ultra-crispy chicken fingers to homemade potato chips, all made with just a fraction of the oil. It all seems a little too good to be true, doesn’t it?
Or possibly wonderful, not-to-be-questioned magic. Or possibly a gift bestowed upon us from a distant future where humankind has learned how to eat French fries for dinner and still look great in skinny jeans. (Hey, it could happen!)
This new Air Fryer Toaster Oven from Cuisinart is particularly intriguing. Not only does it function as an air fryer par excellence, but you can use it as a toaster, a mini convection oven, and a broiler as well.
It’s also large enough to fit a whole 9-inch pie or a great big pile of popcorn shrimp — super convenient for times when your oven is otherwise occupied or during the summer when you don’t want to heat up your kitchen.
That’s quite a nice countertop multitasker, don’t you think?!
Ok, time to dish — Do you have an air fryer? Do you want one?! And the most important question, what should we be making first?!

I upgraded from the Cuisinart toaster oven to this one and totally love it. the air fryer is the best and does a great job. If anyone is thinking about getting do it.
I have this toaster oven and absolutely love it. Fries, chicken tenders, chicken wings have all come out great using air fryer. Regular baking and toasting functions are also great! This is my first stand alone toaster oven. I have waited a long time to get one but could not resist the 3 in one and absolutely no regrets. It does get very hot on the outside to make sure you have it venting properly.
Anyone know how this differs from the Breville Smart Oven Air? The SBSOA is over two years old, so I’m guessing this includes some improvements. Cuisinart typically denotes quality, so this is at least as high on my list as the BSOA,
thanks.
I have 2 air fryers. They have all but displaced my Toaster oven. First thing to make….Chicken Wings… or Whole Roast Chicken…You’ll never buy a dried out Rotisserie chicken from a supermarket again. Reheating leftovers? Leftovers never tasted so good.
If I had the money I would get the Breville Smart Oven Air. The interior is bigger (W) 16″ x (D) 13.5″ x (H) 7″ as opposed to the Cuisinart which is 4.5” high 11.5” wide 10.5” deep.. First thing you learn about air fryers….they don’t hold much and not to crowd your food so most people want to go bigger.
I would love to see a review. I have been needing to replace a dying toaster oven and have wanted to try an air fryer but hated to get one that was too small and single use. This would be a perfect combination. I was reading some reviews on amazon and want to see how you guys would compare.
