4 Best Air Fryer for Large Family | Feeding the Clan

Choosing the best air fryer for large family in 2023 is by definition a little complicated. Air Fryers are an essential kitchen marvel in recent years for their services. Air Fryers have become the go-to option as a healthy choice of life. What Air Fryers offer is somewhat incomparable compared to other home cookers and ovens. You can find more user-friendly features and some air fryers doing both the frying and baking along with pressure cooking.

COSORI Pro II

The Cosori Pro II comes with new features to its old model and provides a little more customization in temperature and timing. The model has a slightly elevated display and with an added shake reminder to the air fryer. The shake reminder was a nice touch given the necessity of it for some food, but make sure to turn it off when not needed. 

Preheat, toast and bake functions are available, but we often found the preheat function is not a function that requires a different function, but might come in handy in cold weather, out of the box and in occasional use. Keep warm and reheating with the bake function was excellent with even heating and maintaining the heat inside. This may come in handy when distracted from your meal.

Trial and error is needed with the air fryer; the 12 functions given may require change according to how you prefer each type of food. Our steak, sea food, chicken setting needed temperature and time adjustments to perfect them and we also tried all features by keeping the temperature constant at 400F and adjusting the time. This went well with some food but overcooked a few. 

The best thing about Cosori is the ease of cleaning given every element is dishwasher safe and easily removable. The oil drip basket can be easily wiped off and the non-stick coating was not damaged in our regular testing cycle. 

Ninja Air Fryer AF161 Max XL

In our testing 5.5-quart Ninja Air Fryer Max XL comes with 7 presets – max crisp, air fry, air roast, air broil, bake, reheat and dehydrate. With cook settings such as max crisp and air broil which reaches up to 450°F made our chicken wings, fries and potato wedges a crisp layer and rich taste. Also, it features a dehydrate rate that reaches the low of 105°F, in our testing of apples, beef jerky and tomatoes the dehydration feature worked splendidly.

The fan that is in the air fryer makes sure that the food is cooked evenly and regularly and as fast as it can. It also holds a chicken up to 3lbs. The heater and the fan that is present in the Ninja air fryer is a combination of the ‘Millard’ reaction which allows the food to prepare quickly and evenly.

The basket also holds a drip tray so that it holds on to any fat that releases from cooking. Ninja air fryer basket is an easy-to-handle commodity, with a ceramic interior and a removable tray, which is also non-stick. 

The tray fits perfectly on the basket which keeps you from worrying about falling into the plate when food is overturned. Both the appliances are easy to clean and very accessible. The model also comes with a broiling rack which adds up to the efficiency of cooking and quicker results.

Ninja DZ201 Foodi 6-in-1, 2-Basket Air Fryer

Our best pick for the best air fryer for large family is the Ninja DZ201 Air Fryer which is rather different in the way where an air fryer normally features. This is in fact the first air fryer that lets you cook two different foods in two different settings at the same time! Interesting isn’t it? This feature from Ninja is known as the ‘ DualZone Technology’. Also, you can opt-out to match the cook settings for both zones if you are cooking in a large batch with the ‘Match Cook’ button, giving you the full 8-quart capacity.

Added to the wonders the air fryer includes 6 programmable features air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. You may think that inside all of this it’s just one mechanism powering the two zones, but that’s where you find yourself amused as the 4-quart zones have separate cyclonic fans and rapid heaters. With a wide range of temperature scales from 105 F – 450F, the air fryer is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

The non-stick crisper plates at the bottom of the baskets do give you an all-around crisp and are included with the purchase. The design of the air fryer is second to none in the market right now and the air fryer looks much sleek and stealthy with the matte black finish on the top of the counter. The cooking combination and the cooking result are both top-notch. We loved the match cook setting when you want to get more of the air fryer. It is super convenient for its purpose.

Ninja SP101 Digital Air fryer Oven

The elegant toaster oven design that saves space and paves way to cook a variety of food. The built quality is excellent and the design of the air fryer oven makes it the best countertop appliance. The 7 cooking functions that directly translate from the Ninja AF161 Max XL and the added bagel function with the oven design make it special given the added space compared to an air fryer. 

To save any horizontal space you can flip the oven when not in use which is excellent for small counter tops. You get a crumb tray for easy cleanup after each use. A 13 inch pizza can easily fit in the pan. The digital display is slightly elevated to the top for easy viewing. 

Fries, and chicken took around 20 mins to cook. Reheating a pizza would take around 7 minutes and the reheat function is excellent in or testing in a pizza and some chicken wings.  It didn’t take much time at all and the turnout was excellent with crisp and golden looks. The dial design is convenient for any user to control all the functions of the air fryer oven.

Cleaning the air fryer oven is easy as with all Ninja Air fryers, the baking pan and the air fryer basket are dishwasher safe. Cleaning the inside of the air fryer can be done by placing it horizontally and removing the panel. Use non-abrasive sponges to clean all units.
