We have tested several different air fryers, and some are great, and some are not so great. One of the ones that we think is really nice is the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven. It is perfect not just for amateurs who are just getting started with air fryers, before also for experts who use them all the time. One thing in particular that we really love about this item is that it gives you two racks to cook on at the same time, and has a capacity of 12.7 quarts. This doubles the amount of food that you can prepare, as well as doubles the types of food that you can cook simultaneously.

The Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven controls are intuitive and easy to use. It’s a very simple 1-2-3 step approach. First step is plugging it in the appliance and turning it on. After that you just set the TEMP and TIME, and you’re pretty much done. Or you can use one of the blue LED display buttons that show different types of foods or food groups such as Fries, Meat, Seafood, Pizza, Vegetables, Bake and Dehydrate, and then automatically set the temperature and cooking time with them. We have found that those buttons are useful, but it is much more useful to have a written guide that will say for a particular type or food or vegetable the specific temperature and length. Fortunately in the instruction booklet that comes with the Zavor there is such a written guide. There are also written Time & Temp guides for air frying that are available online.

Most air fryers require usually a bit of olive oil or another oil on the item to be cooked. This is done simply by putting them in a bowl and a bit of olive oil, then lightly tossing, then adding the food to the rack of the air fryer. The Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven has a non-stick drip pan at the bottom to catch drips and for easy cleaning.

We tested different types of recipes in the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven over a period of several weeks. Everyone loves crispy tofu, so of course we tried it with crispy tofu in a sesame sauce. It worked perfectly. Of course french fries are the most popular recipe for air fryers, so we tested the Zavor with different types of potatoes to see what differences there might be in the fries. In addition we tested different sizes and cuts of fries. Regardless of the type or cut, the fries came out very tasty. Our team had a difficult time not eating them all in one go. Yet another addiction.

We also tried air frying Brussel Sprouts to see if they would become crispy. They did, although we still think that roasted in the oven is probably the best place for the tastiest outcome.

In the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven we tried cooking fried chicken, which came out very well, and this was a surprise because one of the biggest fails people have with air frying is when they decide to fry chicken in them. It really takes a very specific combination of ingredients, coating, and temperature to get what most people would want in their fried chicken. This includes having the breading staying on the chicken and not sliding off. The Zavor fortunately came through this ultimate challenge with flying colors.

Cleanup with the Zavor is easy, as most components inside are removable and non-stick, for easy hand washing. Another useful feature that the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven has is the option to create rotisserie chicken. An attractive option without a doubt, no doubt related to its larger capacity as well as ability to hold a custom spit. We hope to test this feature at a future date.

Our biggest success with the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven was actually with carrot fries. This recipe calls for you to take small baby carrots and cut them in half, then coating them with olive oil lightly, as well as spices, and then adding them to the air fryer. They come out just as delicious as potato-based french fries, but of course are less starchy and more healthy.
