AI Life / Kitchen / Air Fryers
A smart air fryer adds an app that pushes cook settings to the machine. Some add a temperature probe, which matters more than the app. More on the air fryer hub .
Picks
| Air fryer | Smart features | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Typhur Sync | App recipes, AI recipe suggestions, built-in food probe | The BBQ Lab |
| Cosori smart models | VeSync app with recipes and remote control | Reviewed |
Typhur Sync. The probe is the reason to buy it. It cooks to a temperature, not a timer, which is how you get the same chicken every time. See the Typhur Sync on Amazon
Cosori. A big recipe library through VeSync and remote start and stop. A good pick if you want app recipes without paying for a probe. See Cosori smart air fryers on Amazon
Does the app matter?
Less than the marketing suggests. Most people use the app for the first few weeks, then cook from memory. A probe keeps paying off.
What to check
- Basket size for your household.
- Whether it works fully without Wi-Fi.
- Whether a probe is included or extra.
