Air fryers
Basket and dual-zone air fryers compared on capacity, controls and price.
Capacity is the spec that decides satisfaction. A 4 quart basket suits one or two people, while a family of four wants 6 quarts or a dual-zone unit that cooks two foods at once. Every model works the same way, circulating hot air with a fan, so pay for size and controls rather than marketing names.
