here's a type of countertop appliance you probably haven't thought about much air fryers the DeLonghi multi fry 1363 uses powerful convection fans and a pair of heating elements to cook food it uses much less oil yet potentially makes food with superior texture and flavor than a regular oven DeLonghi also describes this gadget as a multi cooker don't be fooled though the multi fry cooks lots of different fried food well but when it comes to dishes like stews soups and rice its no instant pot it's great at cooking items you'd normally deep-fry for best results for example it handles french fries well batches we cooked were consistently golden brown and delicious crisp on the outside soft and creamy on the inside it won't speed up the cook times of tough cuts of meat though it will sear them it will also burn them if you're not careful and there aren't any fancy presets or cooking modes either all you get is a thermostat on the top and the ability to turn the bottom heater on and off priced at 230 dollars the multi fried is expensive too you can buy an instant pot style multi cooker for as low as $80 so the multi fry only makes sense if you want a healthier way to prepare fried treats you eat often otherwise I say give it a pass
