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

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.

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

Wanted to try out and see what the hype was about with air fyers but didn't want to invest right away in a large one so for less than $20 gave this one a try and love it. It works great and perfect for small portions at a time. Only thing is the display for the timer and temperature do fade, other than that its great.

Small but that's what I was looking for. We used it all this week at timeshare bc the large one is too big to travel with. I Love that draining rack is removable to clean and pops back in. Cooks fast like my large air fryer also love the nonstick surfaces inside and underneath where heating element is just stay rust free when cooking/cleaning.

.... who doesn't like leftovers. I've had this less than a month and all of the white markings (degrees, timer, logo) are all just about rubbed off. They're super easy to smear off. Also, 2 out of 3 of the black things on the edge of the circular tray that comes out of the basket is broken/split and will eventually fall off. I don't know how or when it happened but it was soon after the first use. I use metal tongs and it's difficult not to scratch the coating inside the tray. I wish there was a way to turn the top knob off easily when the food is done before the timer ends. It's small, like one chicken breast/pork chop at a time small. I bought it on sale just to try out an air fryer. First time using it I realized that it's not the quietest machine, but I'm kind of used to it now. Overall, I'm a fan of airfryers now.... just not so much this one. However, I really think I got what I paid for... less than $20 so I guess it's ok. Maybe for a college dorm?

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 love it so much!!! I never thought I would be using a small kitchen appliance so often. This product works best with frozen foods, however, I’ve cooked fresh cod, shrimp, catfish, chicken, thick pork chops, rib eye steak, roasted potatoes, jalapeño poppers...I’ve used it so much. This is a great investment for cooking quicker and healthier.
