Why This One

The clear window. You can actually watch your food cook without opening the basket and losing heat. That alone makes it worth it. Beyond that:

  • 6-in-1 functionality covers every technique on IFT
  • 400°F max temp is all you need (every recipe on this site is 400°F or below)
  • The basket is large enough for a 4-lb chicken
  • Under $100
