Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to toaster ovens, the Dash Tasti-Cold Oven Air Fryer circulates air much more rapidly, resulting in faster cook times and more even browning. Unlike standard multi-cookers, this dedicated air fryer focuses on airflow technology to mimic deep-frying without absorbing excess fats or oils.

How to use it

1. Place the air fryer on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least 4 inches of clearance.
2. Slide out the non-stick basket and place your ingredients inside, ensuring the basket is not overcrowded.
3. Set the temperature dial to your desired heat level, up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Turn the timer dial to start the cooking process; the unit will click as the timer counts down.
5. Shake the basket halfway through the cycle to ensure all surfaces get even heat exposure.
6. Carefully remove the basket once the auto-shutoff bell rings and serve immediately.
