Cooking with VAL CUCINE TA-25GX1 26.3 QT Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven

VAL CUCINE TA-25GX1 air fryer toaster oven cooks well. It makes food crispy and tasty. It has 10 cooking functions (Air Fry, Toast, Bake, Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat, Warm, Slow Cook and Dehydrate) and they all seem to work quite well. It doesn’t however have rotisserie feature which is something that some countertop ovens do.

Roasting and baking functions work great. Air fry mode will make french fries and other meals crispy. Reheated food tastes a lot better than when reheated in microwave. It cooks fast too (might have to reduce time shown in recipe) and doesn’t generate much external heat (won’t heat up your kitchen like a regular oven).
