The landscape of home cooking technology is seeing increased focus on the versatility and specialized features of air fryers and deep fryers.

Initial reports highlighted the functional capabilities of existing models, such as the Tefal Oleoclean Pro FR8040, which utilizes a patented automatic oil filtration system, and the use of multi-functional air fryers like the Ninja 15-in-1 Foodi Max to prepare complex meals.

Following these observations, manufacturers introduced specialized products, including the Kismile AeroLucen glass air fryer, which features a high-borosilicate glass barrel and a design without PFAS-based nonstick coatings, and the Panasonic 4-in-1 Air Fry Convection Microwave.

Recent developments emphasize dual-zone cooking capabilities to manage multiple foods simultaneously. The Ninja Foodi DualZone FlexBasket utilizes a ‘Smart Finish’ function to synchronize cooking times across different settings. Similarly, at IFA 2026, Cosori introduced the ICONIC Dual air fryer, which features a stainless steel exterior, a tempered glass control panel, and a PFAS-free ceramic coating. This model provides two independent cooking zones with a combined 8.6-liter capacity and includes a ‘Sync mode’ to coordinate cooking times for different dishes.
