Know before you buy
Yes, the dual-basket design features two independent cooking zones. Because the baskets are completely sealed from one another, you can cook items like chicken and vegetables simultaneously without any flavor transfer.
SyncCook automatically matches the settings of both baskets so you can cook a larger batch of the same food at once. SyncFinish allows you to set different cooking times and temperatures for each basket while ensuring they both finish at the exact same time.
No, the ClearCook windows allow you to monitor your food's progress visually without breaking the heat seal. This helps maintain a consistent internal temperature and ensures your food cooks faster and more evenly.
The 8-quart capacity is the total volume of the unit, meaning each basket holds 4 quarts. This size is typically sufficient for preparing meals for a family of four.
Like most air fryers, it performs best when preheated. The unit is designed to reach the desired temperature quickly, and it will prompt you when it is ready for your ingredients.
Yes, the cooking baskets and the included trays are non-stick and dishwasher safe. For the longest lifespan of the non-stick coating, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended.
