Oster - Air Fryer Toaster Oven - Black

Q: What are the measurements?

A: The interior measures 12.6 x 9.4 x 13 inches and the exterior is W - 15.85" L - 16.75" H - 14.51"

Q: Can you use both shelves at the same time, for example, to make crispy chicken wings?

A: OK, there's a lot of misleading answers flying around so let me explain step-by-step starting from the bottom of the cooking chamber up. It does come with a proper drip tray, but the flat sheet that slides out from under 2 lower horizontal heating rods is more of a crumb tray rather than a drip tray, since it doesn't have raised sides that could hold any grease that might drip from a large batch of chicken wings or burgers. I know this from experience because I made the mistake of not using the actual drip tray on the lower of the two rack slots and it took half a roll of paper towels to sop up the puddle of chicken fat that had cooked off of the first batch of wings I ever made. At least it didn't end up clogging my arteries! If you are making toast or baking a cake or heating up foods that are not likely to drip any juices, then you are probably OK with not sliding the actual drip tray into the lower rack slots. There is about an inch of separation betwen the lower and upper slots. You should not air-fry foods like chicken wings with anything but empty space in that gap or else the super-heated air won't circulate freely around the bottom of the food resulting in uneven cooking. Think burnt tops and underdone bottoms. So the upper slot is where you first slide in the wire rack, and the basket holding your yummy batch of wings, fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, or whatever then rests on top of that. At the top of the chamber there are two horizontal heating rods good for broiling. Between them there is a large coiled heating element that may never visibly glow red despite being the source of all the air-frying magic that the powerful blower fan spreads throughout the entire oven. Lastly, you will find that it is a good idea to wipe down all interior surfaces after cooking is done and the oven has cooled off. No matter what brand of air fryer you get, the steady blast of hot air inside tends to leave behind on the walls and glass door a trace of the grease that cooked off your food. You probably wouldn't like it if the cheeseburgers you just took out of the oven gave off a whiff of the fried catfish you made last week!

Q: Could not find the specs on how many watts it is. Anyone know?

A: 1700 watts

Q: What are the measurements of this?

A: 15.85 x 16.75 x 14.51 Inches

Q: My husband wants to oven fry catfish. How many fillets will it hold at a time? How long does it take? Also, has anyone tried air frying chicken wings?

A: I would say you could fit between 4 to 6 fillets depending on size. They cook fast, like 3 minutes or less, so keep an eye on them the whole time. A homemade batch of 6 thawed uncut wings (flats and drummets attached) takes about 15 minutes to cook through enough to my liking. Ready-made frozen ones take about half as long. Again, keep an eye on them every few minutes so that they won't end up getting overcooked.

Q: I saw that this does not have a removable drip tray. How messy is it to clean? I like a removable drip tray!

A: OK, there's a lot of misleading answers here so let me explain step-by-step starting from the bottom of the cooking chamber up. There is a flat sheet that slides out from under 2 lower horizontal heating rods that turn bright red while heating. It is actually a crumb tray rather than a drip tray, since it doesn't have sides that come up so as to contain any grease that might drip from a large batch of chicken wings or burgers. I know this from experience because I made the mistake of not having the actual drip tray on the lower of the two rack slots and it took half a roll of paper towels to sop up the puddle of chicken fat that had cooked off of the first batch of wings I ever made. At least it didn't end up clogging my arteries! If you are making toast or baking a cake or heating up foods that are not likely to drip any juices, then you are probably OK with not sliding the actual drip tray into the lower rack slots. There is about an inch of separation betwen the lower and upper slots. You should not air-fry foods like chicken wings with anything but empty space between them because that would block the super-heated air from circulating around the bottom of the food resulting in uneven cooking. Think burnt tops and undercooked bottoms. So the upper slot is where you slide the wire rack in first, and the basket holding your yummy batch of wings, fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc. gets placed on top of that. At the top of the chamber there are two horizontal heating rods that turn bright red while broiling. Between them there is a large coiled heating element that may never turn visibly red despite being the source of all the air-frying magic that the powerful blower fan happily spreads throughout the entire oven.

Q: consumes a lot of energy?

A: Dear Jecastr, using my "Kill A Watt" meter, I measure 1670 Watts with the Air Fryer setting on max. temp., which is to say that it draws 13.84 Amps from a 120-Volt outlet. Your mileage may vary :-)

Q: What is the length of the power cord?

A: The power cord is 24 inches long and has a 2-prong plug.
