Everything is getting smarter these days, and Proscenic's new T21 Smart Air Fryer is no exception Not only can it fry with minimal oil, but it also has Alexa and Google Assistants built in

Of course, if you don't care for virtual assistants and hands-free operation, the T21 also comes with a built-in digital display and companion app that allows you to control it from your smartphone

For those who don't know, the best air fryers are essentially small, high-powered convection ovens Instead of submerging food in horribly unhealthy oil, air fryers can produce crispy fried foods with very little fat It is also convenient because there is no need to dispose of the oil after frying

The T21 air fryer adds smarts to this idea, allowing remote control and scheduling of cooking But if you don't want to use the Wi-Fi connection, you can always use the LED touch controls on the front

There is also a built-in scheduling function so you can prep food in advance There is also a "keep warm" mode that keeps food at the perfect temperature until you are ready to eat If you don't want to eat only fried food, the T21 also has eight different cooking modes

And like any good oven, mini-oven or not, it has a preheat function that ensures that the food is cooked at a constant temperature There is nothing more tedious than finishing cooking in an air fryer and then having to re-set it

Proscenic promises that the T21 is quiet This is about the same as a typical business office or conversation, and not at all loud It is also A+++ energy efficient and has a cutoff feature that stops the fryer from consuming unnecessary energy This has the added benefit of preventing food from being overcooked

The T21's removable basket has a capacity of about 55 liters, which should be enough for seven people Thus, there is no need for messy cleanup after cooking is finished It has a Teflon nonstick coating, so you won't be able to do much anyway, but just throw it in one of the best dishwashers and that's it

So if you're looking to make cooking healthier and more convenient, this is probably one appliance to considerThe T21 Smart Air Fryer is currently available from Amazon and Proscenic for $129 Amazoncouk also has it for £119 Available at
