Why Air Fry

Air Fry capability offers distinct advantages, ensuring precise time and temperature settings. Air Fry Mode achieves higher temperatures, over 500° F, resulting in crispier and crunchier food with less oil. Hot air circulates throughout a large capacity allowing you to cook more food evenly. Additionally, Thermador Ovens offer more versatility than a countertop appliance, allowing users to switch between modes like steam and convection for varied cooking styles. Clean up is simplified with self-cleaning modes, eliminating the hassle associated with a countertop basket design. Enhance your cooking efficiency and convenience while delivering superior results with a Thermador Oven with Air Fry Mode.
