Bella Pro Series - 2-qt. Analog Air Fryer - Black Matte

The Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer is disguised as compact air fryer. However, after using it for three weeks I discovered this versatile air fryer is an efficient counter top appliance, which enables healthier cooking for Grandma and me. I can Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Roast, and Reheat with little or no oil. And, the best part is that healthier air fried foods are just as tasty and delicious as if they were deep-fat fried. How cool is that? This Bella Pro Series air Fryer is a cut above the rest of the Bella Houseware Kitchen products and is designed for higher performance. It is made of mostly plastic with a non-stick coated steel frying basket and crisping tray. The frying basket has a 'cool-touch' handle, and the body of the whole unit is finished in finger print resistant, matte black. It blends in with all of my Kitchen appliances and the bottom of this unit has four rubberized non-skid feet to keep it stable. It is lightweight enough to be portable and I often move it about on different places as needed. My counter tops are heat resistant. The manufacturer suggests placing this air fryer on heat-resistant work spaces in order to avoid counter top damage. This unit pulls in air to circulate over the 1200 watt heating element in a circular vent at the top of the unit. Heat is exhausted out of the back of this unit so the manufacturer suggest to keep a four inch clearance from walls or other objects during operation. When removing the frying basket it is important to place it on a heat-resistant surface, or trivet because it will be hot. Advantages of this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer: * Healthier cooking using little or NO oils whatsoever. Air Frying is the new approach to reduce cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cooking oils. Again, I am amazed at how tasty air frying is and good for my health too. YooHoo! * Quickly cooks vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry without preheating. Holds up to to two quarts of volume. Enough French Fries to serve my four Grand Kids when they visit and want a snack. WoW! * High performance circular heat technology. Distributes heated air flow for faster cooking. It cooks the foods more evenly and makes them crispier too. YUMMY! * Responsive and easy to learn Touchscreen Controls. Preset functions with preset temperatures and times. However, the time and temperature can easily be changed manually at any time during the cooking process. By using the marked Up & Down Time and Temperature arrows both Time & Temperature can be decreased, and, or Increased. This is important when cooking foods, then pausing to shake, and or, turn the food items half way through the cooking process. I can easily tell when I need to add or increase the temperature or time. * Safety features include the pausing of the preset cooking choices when the frying basket is pulled out of the air fryer. The cooking process will resume immediately when the fryer basket is installed back into the main body. The unit will Not cook if the fryer basket is NOT installed. The unit can be turned OFF by pressing the Power Button for two seconds. After 60 minutes this unit will automatically turn OFF and sound an audible tone. * Care and Maintenance is NOT complicated. The frying basket and crisping tray are easily cleaned in my Kitchen sink with soapy water, and. by hand as I prefer. They can also be put in the Dishwasher, but I think they last longer if cleaned by hand. The main body of this Bella air fryer can easily be cleaned with a damp dish cloth. * Be aware there is a learning curve to the process of air frying. Pausing the cooking process half way through the presets is very important. I can easily determine if I need to continue with the same preset Times and Temperature, or, if either one needs to be changed. The Bella Touchscreen makes this a simple adjustment. * Tips – Placing a piece of aluminum foil under the crisping tray makes clean-up much easier, especially when air frying, roasting,or broiling fatty meats. Make sure the 'shiny' side is facing up. It reflects heat much better under the crisping tray. Try re-heating foods in this Bella instead of your microwave. This Bella reheats foods more evenly and thoroughly. Love It! * This Bella Air Fryer is quite an energy saver compared to my conventional six cubic foot oven. The Bella only uses 1.2 KW, while my conventional oven uses upwards to 4 KW and takes much longer to preheat and cook. The Bella is fantastic in comparison. I highly recommend this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer. Me and Grandma are amazed how quickly this unit prepares our foods in less time then it takes to preheat my conventional oven. We were very skeptical at first because healthier foods aren't supposed to taste this good, or are they? Buy a Bella Air Fryer and find our for yourself . This unit is ideal for a couple, or family of four with two small children. This Bella is inexpensive, and may actually pay for itself over time compared to using your conventional oven. Makes a great wedding, housewarming, or just a special gift to that particular person or family member on your list.

It's my first Air Fryer. It is perfect for a small family. Instead of baking fish sticks anything else that requires 20 minutes, I just turn the know to 350 and cook for 10 mins. I've even reheated small pieces of pizza in this. When I pick up drive-thru McD's fries, I reheat them in this. I rather give my kid a bath and then let my kid munch on her food. I've used this instrument almost every day since, having it. I've popped in just about every frozen item I have in this and it cuts the time in half. It's for an amazing price. For a mother who needs a break from schooling a kid online, saving time on food is such a relief. So far everything I've thrown in here takes about 10 mins or less. The amount of area to heat is about how big a Corningware bowl is. I can do 10 fish sticks, or 6 samosas, or a few croissants with ease. It's easy to wash. Doesn't take that much space. That's what I love about it. I don't think I've seen this size anywhere. I have a KitchenAid mixer, KitchenAid toaster oven, Ninja Pro Blender, and microwave on my counter. I can't fit any more appliances. This was perfect to add to everything I need.

Bella Pro Series - 2-qt. Analog Air Fryer - Black Matte This air fryer is a small one, good for a single person or a couple. I found the fryer to be good for prepared frozen products. The home cut fries were dry on the outside and still hard on the inside. The frozen fish was good but not completely cooked on the inside. The veggie puffs turned out the best. See pictures. The timer once turned on works like the old fashioned oven timer. You can’t turn it off once it is set. The timer setting is off by a couple minutes on this one. Over all I would recommend it for quick frozen meal products.

What a neat little device ! It’s just the right size for the 2 of us. Also doesn’t take up much space. Have only used it a couple of times so far but great results especially on the cheese sticks Looking forward to trying it on other things

I loved this little air fryer. It works amazingly. The food turned out really moist and tender. The potatoes were really good. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because after a few uses the white letters and numbers started to rub off when I wiped it to clean it. So I ended up having to return it and get a digital one so I wouldn’t have that problem.

I’ve had this air fryer for 2 months and I love it! It’s just the right size for me since it’s only me in my household! After getting the hang of using it my food comes out perfectly all the time!! I got it on sale for $19.99 and it’s worth every penny!!

The best air fryer. It's amazing. My sister and I love it.

It cooks however the first time I used it a little Pam spray oil got on the numbers. I went to clean it with warm water and the numbers wiped off. I kinda just guess with it now.
