Design
When it comes to the air fryer design, it usually means two things. One is the exterior housing and outlook of the air fryer, and the other is the design of the fryer basket. The exterior design will dictate whether the air fryer will look good sitting on your countertop, and the design of the fryer basket will decide how your food cooks. The good thing is that both the basket and the exterior housing of this oil-less air fryer have a great design.
First, let’s talk about the exterior housing and overall outlook. The housing is plastic, but it still has a shiny outlook which almost looks like a glass finish. Some housings often get too hot to touch when air fryers cook at higher temperatures, but not this one. The housing and the fryer basket handle both stay cool even if you cook at 400F for an hour. The touch screen on the top of the air fryer also plays a huge role in making the air fryer look good.
The basket has a special design that ensures the heat reaches every food particle for optimal cooking results. There are a lot of small holes on each side that facilitate better airflow around the fryer basket. Better airflow means better heat transmission, which means better cooking. Whatever you cook in this air fryer will cook evenly. You wouldn’t have to deal with overcooked and undercooked fries in the same batch.
Features and Functions
The BRIO 6-Quarts air fryer has a lot of features to help you cook better and even try some new dishes that you wouldn’t be able to cook otherwise. The thing is that even though it is an air fryer, it can cook in many other ways. It can grill, it can bake, it can dehydrate, it can broil, and it can roast as well. This versatility and the power to generate temperature from 100F to 400F will allow you to cook all sorts of dishes for your family, your guests, and yourself.
There are SIX presets in this air fryer as well, using which you can prepare some favorites like fries, nuggets, steaks, and fish very easily. All you will have to do is select the preset, and the fryer will do the rest. If you want to follow your own recipe, you can use the manual controls, and if you are in a hurry, you can use the presets for fast and easy cooking.
Cooking with this air fryer is extremely easy, thanks to the digital touch screen controls and an LCD screen that shows what instruction you set. With the touch buttons, you can set the cooking time and cooking temperature. It’s just like using your touch screen smartphone. Even your kids will be able to make their favorite snacks and help with dinner too.
It also has the reheat feature, so if you have leftovers, you can reheat them in this air fryer. The advantage of reheating in an air fryer is that you achieve freshness and crispiness; instead of having to eat soggy food of the microwave.
Finally, let’s talk about the cooking capacity. As the name suggests, the air fryer has 6 quarts cooking capacity, meaning you can prepare enough food for at least 5-7 people in one go. But the best part is that you can cook two different types of foods at the same time. The fryer comes with a removable basket divider which creates two different cooking chambers inside the basket. For example, you can cook fries on one side and fry some chicken wings on the other side. When you have to cook a lot of the same food, just remove the divider and enjoy the 6 quarts capacity to its fullest.
Cleaning
It is as easy to clean this air fryer as it is to cook with this air fryer. The plastic housing will clean with a damp cloth, the interior is non-stick, so a non-abrasive sponge and some dish soap will work wonders. Similarly, the fryer basket and the divider are non-stick too. They will clean very easily by hand using soft sponges. The basket and the divider are dishwasher-safe too.
Conclusion
To sum it all up, it is one of the best air fryers overall in this price range. You might find an air fryer that has one better attribute than this one, but you won’t find an air fryer that offers all the attributes that the BRIO 6 quarts air fryer has to offer, especially at this price. With this air fryer, you can cook a lot of food very easily, very quickly, and in a lot of different ways. So, this air fryer will definitely improve your cooking skills and become a great cooking partner. We hope this review will help you make the right decision as to whether this air fryer is the right option for you or not.
