Proscenic T22 takes air fryers to the next level

- www.proscenic.com BY GREGG ELLMAN Tribune News Service

Proscenic’s newly launched T22 Smart Air Fryer connects to your home Wi-Fi and cooks dinner on demand with a simple smart device command.

Air fryers are countertop appliances that cook foods from french fries to chicken wings and a whole lot in between. They are designed to cook more healthily and efficientl­y. The Proscenic T22 takes it up a level with builtin Wi-Fi to connect it to your home network, to add voice assistants (Alexa and Google Assistant), schedules and remote control functional­ity.

The AC-powered fryer (14.2by-10.66-by-12.04 inches, 12.5 pounds) cooks with less oil and with TurboAir Technology, stated by Proscenic to be “seven times more effective than regular air circulatio­n technology and reduces 90% of the fats contained in foods for an extremely healthy option.” Intelligen­t SuperDenoi­se Technology reduces noise by 20% to 48 decibels while in use.

A dishwasher-safe, squareshap­ed 5.28-quart basket coated with nonstick Teflon holds the food. The basket is removed by pressing a button on the handle to avoid direct contact with anything hot. A crisper plate (dishwasher-safe) sits inside on the bottom of the basket. Depending on the people you are feeding and their hunger level, the basket can hold enough for up to four people. When the basket is in the air fryer, 360-degree air circulatio­n efficiency cooks the food.

The free ProscenicH­ome app (iOS and Android) has endless recipes, timers and schedules.

With all this, it is easy to use with the controls on a top side touchscree­n, to begin, power, pause, preheat, presets and temperatur­es – the 1,500-watt T22 cooks in a range of 165 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit in five-degree increments. The controls also have a keep warm feature and automatic turnoff.

There are 11 presets, and everything can be tweaked depending on what you’re cooking and who’s being cooked for. In a nutshell, my family has found a big part of cooking with an air fryer is trial and error.

For example, french fries are now an air fryer family favorite, but we like ours a little well done compared to the suggested time on the presets. So, we added some extra time.

Remember to shake the contents in the T22 midway through cooking to ensure food is cooked evenly. And once you have figured out personal recipes, Proscenic has an online option to share T22 air fryer recipes.

Cost: $129.99
