Calphalon Performance Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The French door design allows you to open both doors simultaneously with a single pull, providing easier access to the interior. This is particularly helpful when you are loading or unloading heavy items like a full pizza or a roasting pan, as there is no door blocking your reach.

Unlike traditional metal heating coils, Quartz Heat Technology provides faster preheating and more consistent, even heat distribution. This helps reduce hot spots in the oven, leading to more uniform browning and cooking results across your food.

For most daily meals, yes. With 11 cooking functions—including air fry, roast, and bake—it is capable of handling everything from toast and cookies to wings and pizza. However, keep in mind its capacity is limited to a 12-inch pizza or six slices of bread, so it may not replace your main oven for large holiday roasts or batch cooking.

The air fry function uses a high-velocity fan to circulate hot air rapidly around the food, which mimics the crisping effect of deep frying. While it functions similarly to convection, the air fry mode is specifically optimized to achieve a crunchier exterior on items like fries, wings, and vegetables.

The oven includes a removable crumb tray that slides out from the bottom, making it easy to dump out burnt bits and crumbs after use. For the interior, we recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth while the unit is cool to maintain the stainless steel finish and prevent grease buildup.

Like most countertop toaster ovens, the exterior surfaces will get warm during use, especially during longer cooking cycles like roasting or baking. It is best to keep the unit clear of other appliances and ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the sides and top.
