The Tower T17039 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer Oven with Rotisserie is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for healthy and efficient cooking. This air fryer offers multiple functions, allowing users to air fry, roast, bake, grill, and dehydrate food with little to no oil.
Function Description:
The T17039 is a multi-function digital air fryer oven that combines several cooking methods into one compact unit. Its primary function is air frying, which uses rapid air circulation to cook food, resulting in a crispy texture similar to deep-frying but with significantly less oil. This makes it a healthier alternative for preparing fried foods.
The "5-in-1" aspect highlights its diverse capabilities:
- Air Frying: Cooks food quickly and evenly using hot air, ideal for crispy fries, chicken, and other traditionally fried items.
- Roasting: Suitable for roasting meats like chicken, pork, or fish, as well as vegetables. The rotisserie function enhances this, allowing for even cooking and browning of larger items.
- Baking: Can be used to bake cakes, quiches, muffins, and other sweet or savory items, offering an alternative to a conventional oven for smaller portions.
- Grilling: Provides a grilling function for various foods.
- Dehydrating: The air flow racks are suitable for dehydrating food items, such as dried fruit, at lower temperatures over longer periods.
The appliance features easy-to-use multi-function controls, including a digital touch control panel with pre-set auto-cook menus for common dishes like fries, steak, chicken legs, fish, shrimp, roast chicken, BBQ rotisserie, and dried fruit. It also includes a 60-minute timer with an automatic shut-off feature for precise cooking and an adjustable temperature control ranging from 80°C to 200°C, accommodating a wide variety of meals.
