Overview
The Transonic 11QT Air Fryer features a space-saving vertical double-stack design with two independent cooking zones. The top basket is deep for roasting whole chickens, while the bottom basket is elongated for ribs, fish, and long vegetables. The unit uses 360° Rapid Heat Circulation for even cooking and can reach up to 430°F for high-heat broiling. It includes 6 preset functions and intelligent sync features (Smart Finish and Match Cook).
Features
Dual Independent Cooking Zones
Each basket has its own temperature and time controls, allowing you to cook two different foods simultaneously without flavor transfer.
- Top Basket (Deep): Designed for vertical clearance – ideal for roasting a whole chicken or large batches of fries.
- Bottom Basket (Long): Elongated shape for ribs, whole fish fillets, asparagus, or other long items that need to lie flat.
360° Rapid Heat Circulation
Superheated air is driven from the top heating element in a 360-degree motion, ensuring even cooking and crispy results without cold spots.
430°F High-Heat Broil
The maximum temperature setting of 430°F (220°C) is suitable for broiling, searing meats, and achieving a char on vegetables.
Easy-View See-Through Windows
Each basket has a transparent window on the front, allowing you to monitor cooking progress without opening the basket and losing heat.
6-in-1 Preset Functions
The air fryer includes six preset cooking modes: Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Reheat, and Roast.
Smart Finish and Match Cook
- Smart Finish: Program different time/temperature settings for each basket, and the unit automatically syncs the finish times so both foods are ready simultaneously.
- Match Cook: Instantly copy the settings from one basket to the other for large-batch cooking.
Non-Stick Coating and Easy Cleaning
The baskets and racks have a PFAS-free non-stick coating. They are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. The interior uses odor-resistant materials.
