You have heard it from friends, family, co-workers and even strangers on the internet: air fryers have revolutionised the way people are cooking. If you still haven’t jumped on the air fryer wagon – or you are already here and you want an upgrade – look no further than Xiaomi Smart Air Fryers.
Smart functionality brings an entirely new dimension to air fryers that will make them revolutionary once again.
Take the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L seen in our header image above. Not only is it a top of the line air fryer with a RRP of just R2 899 (more on that later), but it also allows you to do more with its brains.
How does scheduling your meals sound? Using scheduling of up to 24 hours, you can wake up or return home from work to a perfectly cooked, hot and ready to go meal. Smart Cloud recipes are perfect for both air fryer newcomers and veterans who either want to start on their cooking journey or push it to new heights with around a hundred smart recipes.
Always find your hands messy when cooking and don’t want to smear the pristine white colourway of the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L? Simply control it with your voice through Google Assistant-enabled devices.
These are just some of the smart features of this air fryer and exploring them is one of the added joys of choosing this as your next smart kitchen appliance. The aforementioned voice control is our favourite of the bunch as it makes complex recipes simpler by removing hands-on time with the appliance. And, come on, controlling parts of your home with your voice still feels futuristic.
The smart functionality on offer is married to an air fryer that can compete, and outcompete, most of the field of older, “dumb” products from other companies too. The four litre capacity in the name of this air fryer offers you huge cooking potential for families and parties.
Xiaomi has even reinvented the basket system which most air fryers share, by adding a three-layer, heat insulating window. This removes the need to take the basket out to check the status of food, which usually drops the temperature dramatically and adds to cook times.
Cook times, however, are optimised regardless thanks to the immense power of the 1 600 watt heating element that uses 360 degree heated air circulation to perfectly cover and cook just about everything.
And for one final trick, cooking isn’t all this air fryer does. This one smart kitchen appliance can also be used for baking, yogurt making, fruit drying, fermentation and more. Again the Smart Cloud recipes are here to save the day as these are types of cooking we’ve always wanted to try, but lacked the tools and guidance to do so. The Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L packs everything you need into one purchase to get you going in the kitchen.
Still want a Xiaomi Air Fryer, but you don’t need the large four litre capacity? Check out the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L in the video above.
With a RRP of R2 399 this version is perfect for those who want to make slightly less food while still enjoying the range of smart benefits that these air fryers provide.
These two air fryers share several great features such as the 360 degree heated air circulation, an easy to use OLED touch screen, app integration, scheduled cooking, Smart Cloud recipes and more. The Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L also supports the alternate modes such as defrosting, fruit drying and food fermenting.
For this model Xiaomi has similarly chosen the clean white choice for the colour which makes it perfect for any kitchen. The modern design cues of these two also convey the high tech machinery inside. Air fryers may be a relatively new phenomenon but these take the trend to a new level.
