Do I Need to Flip Food When Air-Frying?

Plus, we revisited our review of air fryers to find the best one. [America's Test Kitchen]( [The Well-Equipped Cook.

Senior Editor, ATK Reviews] We all have areas of expertise on our team. I write a lot about bakeware and ingredients. My coworker Chase has embraced the [air-fryer beat]( along with a few others including cleaning. Each time a new model or new technology comes out, he’s on it. Chase orders and tests the new models and compares them to the ones he’s already tested. This way you, our readers, can stay up to date with the latest developments. Recently, Chase tested three additional models. Despite their “smart” or “quick cooking” innovations, none of the newly tested models bested our winner’s capacity or ease of use. Once again, we recommend the [Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air Fryer]( and the [GoWISE USA 3.7-Quart 7-in-1 Air Fryer](. They deliver on all of the promises of air fryers: They’re user-friendly and produce delicious food quickly and efficiently. [An Upgraded Air Fryer]( Must-Have of the week An Upgraded Air Fryer Along with our [winner]( and [Best Buy]( we also named an [“Upgrade Pick.”]( This model has a spacious interior, a convenient preheating cycle, and a stellar cooking ability. For a bit more money, it includes a few bells and whistles that we particularly appreciated. It’s quieter than most of the other models in the lineup, and its viewing window allowed us to monitor cooking progress without losing heat.
