After all, I can't remember the last week when there wasn't a supermarket rotisserie chicken<\/a> in my fridge, contributing to basically every meal. The Kalorik air fryer oven<\/a> is a much more space-friendly answer to these cravings. It comes with a rotisserie spit along with an array of other accessories for every baking and air-frying<\/a> need.\r\n\r\nOut of the best air fryer toaster ovens<\/a> that we tested\u2014including models from top brands like Breville<\/a>, Cosori and KitchenAid\u2014the Kalorik Maxx was the most tricked-out option.\r\n

What is the Kalorik Maxx air fryer oven?<\/h2>\r\nThe Kalorik Maxx<\/a> brings together two of our favorite things: air fryers<\/a> and toaster ovens. It rapidly speeds up cooking times and has 21 smart preset options, which we found were pretty decent across the board. With this air fryer oven, you can bake, toast, sear, dehydrate, boil and more.\r\n\r\nBoasting a set of French doors and a stainless steel finish, the Kalorik MAXX brings a sophisticated look to your kitchen. It also brings a lot<\/em> of accessories, including an air-frying basket, baking tray, bacon tray, rotisserie spit and forks, plus a bonus cookbook.\r\n\r\nWeighing just over 16 pounds, it has a large, 26-quart capacity yet is still light enough that you could store it in your cabinets rather than keeping it permanently on your counter.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Kalorik Maxx Digital Air Fryer Oven\" short_description=\"After thorough testing, this French door air fryer oven earned our best accessories badge.\" image=\"2047109\" image_credit=\"DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Amazon\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kalorik%C2%AE-Countertop-Combo-21-Accessories-Cookbook\/dp\/B0872DQV7Z\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_2_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FKalorik-MAXX-26-Quart-Flex-Trio-Air-Fryer-Oven%2F1034004799\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" retailers_3_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2Fshop-product-type%2Fpdp%2Fkalorik-maxx-26-quart-digital-air-fryer-oven-with-5-accessories-and-quiet-mode-rik10286.html\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_4_name=\"Macy's\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macys.com%2Fshop%2Fproduct%2Fkalorik-maxx-26-quart-digital-air-fryer-oven-grill%3FID%3D13190244\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on Macy's\" \/]\r\n

How We Tested the Kalorik Air Fryer Oven<\/h2>\r\nWe tested the Kalorik air fryer oven using a designated methodology. We prepped four different types of food to weigh the oven's performance and capacity.\r\n\r\nWe started by toasting four slices of bread using the toast setting at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes. We weren't overly impressed with the result. The toasting was uneven on the top and bottom of the bread, and the bottom had inconsistent browning.\r\n\r\n\"Kalorik\r\n\r\nLuckily, the Kalorik Maxx air fryer oven redeemed itself when we air-fried French fries. The \"fries\" function automatically set the machine to 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, and the potatoes came out a beautifully, remarkably even golden brown. We were very happy with the final outcome, especially since that was the result of just using a preset. We imagine the results would have been even better if we had first spritzed the fries with oil.\r\n\r\nNext up was a sheet cake, which we set out to cook for 20 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, although it ultimately took a total of 37 minutes because we had to return the cake to the oven a couple of times. Overall, the cake had a pretty consistent color, though it fell in the middle when we did the toothpick test, which required a return to the oven.\r\n\r\n\"Kalorik\r\n\r\nFinally, we roasted chicken, which was where the Kalorik air fryer oven fully won us over with its rotisserie spit. We set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and it took about 50 minutes to cook. The chicken came out crispy on all sides, thanks to the rotating spit. Some of the seasonings got charred, but it looked (and tasted!) like a rotisserie chicken you'd pick up at the store.\r\n\r\nIt's important to note that our chicken (just under 5 pounds) barely fit on the rotisserie pit, so be cognizant of the size of the chickens you use.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"This rotisserie chicken could've fooled us as one from the supermarket. It was succulent and crispy and had a subtle smokiness to it. A really standout performance, making this ideal for meat eaters.\" name=\"Annamarie higley\" title=\"Product Testing Manager\" \/]\r\n
