Design
The appearance of the Big Boss air fryer is one of its best features, as you have a selection of finish options to choose from. Take your pick from either red, black, blue, copper, graphite, gray and white,Big Boss has given the customers a variety of colors so you can select the best one for you. Such a wide selection of finish options is not very common when it comes to air fryers, so it’s great to see that you have the chance to tailor this air fryer to suit your kitchen décor. One of the other fantastic features of the design of the Big Boss Oil-less air fryer is the large glass bowl where the cooking takes place. This transparent design allows you to see the progress of your food cooking away, so you don’t have to keep lifting the lid or pulling out a tray to do so, which would, in turn, let out the heat and take longer to cook. It’s oddly fascinating to watch the food cooking right in front of you, and it’s also super convenient, so this is an excellent design move from Big Boss and is very useful for the customer.
As you have probably already guessed, this air fryer is large. While this means it will take up more room on your countertop, it also means that it can fit larger food items in compared to smaller air fryer models and therefore makes it ideal for everyday cooking for numerous people. The size of this air fryer is 16 x 12.5 x 13.5 inches, and it weighs 14.75 pounds so it will take up a considerable amount of space, but it’s certainly worth it. This super-size capacity is praised by customers who state that it’s the ideal kitchen appliance for cooking meals for their families because of the sheer quantity of food it can cook at one time. The timer and temperature dials are located on the top of the air fryer, as is the power LED light, which is handy as it indicates if the machine is in use or switched off.
Ease of Use
In terms of usability, the Big Boss air fryer is straightforward to use, thanks to its simple dials and auto shutoff. All you need to do is set the temperature and the timer (which goes up to 60 minutes), and you’re all set! The temperature settings go up in 10-degree F increments which can be a bit of a pain if you need to set the temperature to say 285 degrees for example, but it’s not the be all and end all. The display also highlights specific food icons and their optimum temperature and cooking time, which makes it extra quick and easy if you want to cook those common foods. For example, it lets you know that French fries need to cook for 12 minutes at 450 degrees F.
The auto shutoff function is incredibly useful, particularly if you have children around or you’re busy doing other tasks, as it will shut off automatically and prevent overcooking and overheating. The Big Boss air fryer also comes with a safety handle which turns the air fryer on and off. When the handle is upright, the air fryer is off and when the handle is pressed down the air fryer turns on. As well as this, the Big Boss Oil-less air fryer is also easy to clean, thanks to the dishwasher safe glass bowl and cooking racks. There is also a self-cleaning function, where you add some washing up liquid and set the control dial to ‘wash’ for 10 minutes.
