Air Fryers have been a hit this year as everyone is spending more time at home during this pandemic. I love the concept of air frying, but I hate having an added appliance in the kitchen that takes up more counter space.
Hamilton Beach has created the Easy Reach Sure-Crisp Air Fry Toaster Oven, which is a 2 in 1 toaster and air fryer in a nice compact size. It still has enough room for six slices of toast, a 12” pizza, and even a 9”x11” baking pan.
We got sent one to give it a try in the kitchen to test it.
Viewability
One thing I love about this Air Fry Toaster Oven is the ability to look inside to made adjustments as you go. With other air fry machines, you have to open up the machine to see inside.
When I was cooking a few different dishes inside the Air Fry Toaster Oven, I love watching the items cook.
Roll Top Door
I love how the door just rolls up when you open it. Removing food from the oven is easy and you won’t burn yourself in the process.
Reheating Food
I really enjoyed using this to cook small quantities of food when you don’t want to turn on the regular oven.
Large Capacity
We found that the air fry basket does hold a good amount of food compared to other air fryers. Just make sure not to overcrowd the basket like us as it takes a little longer to cook.
Heating
I do miss the digital temperature monitor so you can see if the oven has come up to the correct temperature before putting food in.
Included Accessories
The oven comes with a small mesh basket for air frying, bake pan, broil rack, and a slide-out crumb tray. You don’t need to purchase anything extra. It’s all ready to use on any mode.
Timer Setting
The oven has a 30 minute timer with a stay-on setting, auto shutoff, and a ready bell. It helps keep track of your cooking time. If you want it to be longer, you can turn it on the ‘Stay On’ Setting to extend the cooking time if needed.
Final Thoughts
We tested the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach Sure-Crisp Air Fry Toaster Oven for a few months now to see how it performs. It’s great for reheating food and the air fry mode helps get our food nice and crispy.
The size is very large yet compact for a counter top appliance. The downside is we wish there was a digital thermometer to indicate that the toaster is up to temperature.
Nonetheless, it’s a great Air Fry Toaster Oven for under $100.
