Typhur lets you power this nan measurement sophisticated toaster ovens for illustration Breville's do: done settings for illustration “grill” aliases “broil” that modulate some instrumentality velocity and superior power source. The grill mounting combines nan crispness of an aerial fryer pinch nonstop power from nan bottommost of nan basket—meaning I tin brownish and moreover lightly grill-char a brace of chickenhearted legs astatine 450 degrees Fahrenheit, starring to deliciously crispy-fatty skin. This is besides really nan oven does pizza and pancakes, heating each from beneath but astatine a overmuch little instrumentality mounting to debar drying retired nan crust aliases batter.
This said, Typhur doesn't make its settings overly easy to parse, isolated from via a caller blog post that still requires a small parsing. I'd emotion if nan instrumentality aliases app offered indicators to show which burners were astir active, and nan velocity of nan fan, for each setting. But for now, beneath is simply a useful floor plan explaining nan various cooking modes.
In general, nan higher nan instrumentality speed, expect much browning aliases crisping connected nan aboveground arsenic nan aerial draws crossed nan aboveground and steals nan moisture—which is nan main logic aerial fryers are truthful effective astatine creating crispy food. That said, excessively overmuch instrumentality tin barren retired nan nutrient complete time.

But you won't get afloat usage retired of nan Dome 2 unless you brace it to your phone. Many functions aren't accessible from nan eight-button power sheet connected nan instrumentality itself. The app's astir straightforward prize is simply a 48-deep paper of recipes designed specifically for nan Dome 2. These scope from elemental recommendations for bacon, chickenhearted legs, aliases asparagus to aerial fryer cakes and cookies, and chickenhearted cordon bleu.
Once you take a recipe, you tin tweak some somesthesia and time, based connected really overmuch nutrient you've added aliases really heavy you've sliced your bacon. Then click start, and nan device's mounting will brace up pinch nan look connected nan app. You'll still person to physically property commencement connected nan device, arsenic a information measure.
But galore useful functions are app-only, including dehydrate, bake, and roast—plus an added Steak preset. No baking aliases steaking if nan Wi-Fi's down! (The Wings and Bacon presets, oddly, are nan buttons connected nan instrumentality that are astir akin to nan baking function.)
The self-clean function, which heats nan oven astatine precocious temps to pain gunk disconnected nan heating elements, is besides app-only. The handbasket and griddle grate are coated pinch PFAS- and PTFE-free ceramic nonstick, and it's beautiful easy to swipe clean—but nan self-clean, meant for monthly use, is simply a bully backup for nan oven interior.
Price speech —this Typhur isn't cheap—reliance connected nan app is 1 of nan main sticking points connected an different terrific device. (Though I'd besides for illustration much visibility connected instrumentality velocity and superior burners.) I've accepted, for immoderate reason, that my Google TV is simply a ceramic without a distant aliases a telephone app. But I conjecture I still want to beryllium capable to cook cookies erstwhile my phone's dead. Maybe I request to study to extremity worrying and emotion nan smart kitchen.
