Simple and Clear Operation: Hassle-free button operation, two buttons can make the dishes you want. Seniors even kids (over 10 years old) can smoothly operate the Uten air fryer. Make a better life Well, here we go again with another air fryer review and another apparently generic Chinese brand. There’s nothing wrong with being a generic Chinese brand, though, if you can produce a quality air fryer. Do Uten have the credentials to do this?

Introducing the Uten 10L Digital Air Fryer Oven, a comprehensive cooking appliance with 12 preset menus and 360° hot air circulation. My wife broached the subject of getting an Air Fryer because she had heard a lot about them. We have a Gas hob and Gas oven that we use daily and have to stoop down to get things in and out of. A counter top Air Fryer seemed to be something worth a look at. Sausages cooked in the Air Fryer are awesome, you don’t need to keep turning them. A typical “fat” sausage will cook to perfection in about 15 Mins and you can turn them occasionally if you want. Whether you have a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven or Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, these recipes are exactly what you need to start cooking in your to-be most beloved appliance in the kitchen. If you like pies, these can be cooked from frozen but better results are achieved when thawed. Basically 10 / 15 mins on the middle shelf and you have a nice hot pie that isn’t soggy. Certainly saves having to warm up the “big oven” and gives similar results.Muti-Functions Air fryer: Auto-switch off timer (0-60 mins) and adjustable temperature setting (80°C-200°C) can help you to cook your food without oil in variety way, Fry, grill, bake and roast, steam, and food dehydrate all in one. Additional instructions recipes can help you make wonderful foods easier. The Uten Air Fryer Oven excels when subjected to real-life cooking scenarios. Its energy efficiency, consuming less power than full-sized ovens, makes it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for cooking. In addition, the air fryer oven’s ability to fry, bake, grill, and roast with little to no oil results in healthier, low-fat dishes that don’t compromise taste. The bad cooking performance of this Uten makes me wonder about its energy efficiency, as it is a 1700 watt unit. With this rating, I would have expected it to be able to maintain a good cooking result.

To be honest, this seems to be a common problem with budget air fryers that I have had experience with. This energy-efficient cooking method and the air fryer’s versatile functions make the Uten Air Fryer Oven an ideal addition to any household. Unfortunately, I think it is pretty obvious to me that some of that air frying intensity has been lost by the Uten air fryer, probably related to buying a budget air fryer of this size. The french fries were barely cooked and not as golden brown as the Philips version. When running this air fryer alongside my Philips air fryer, I noticed that the outside of the Philips model will only get ever so slightly hot to the touch during cooking. The Uten, on the other hand, gets pretty hot to the touch. Not enough to burn yourself, but considerably hotter than the Philips. This tells me the insulation (and possibly energy efficiency) of this unit is not good. The foot print is not much bigger than a 4 slice toaster but it will certainly change the way we cook. It won’t replace the Gas oven completely but will replace some of the things that we use the “Combo” Microwave for. The beauty of the Air Fryer is that unlike Microwave ovens you can use metal cooking utensils but you can’t use plastic utensils. It won’t beat a Microwave for speed of cooking but for things with pastry, it beats the Microwave hands down and that includes a combo microwave, without a trivet to raise the food!The horizontal “rotating basket” is good for things like Chips / Fries. “Oven Chips” seem to work fine as these are already “oiled” but IMO, deep fried chips take a lot of beating! If you like “Oven Chips”, you will probably like them done in the Air Fryer.

We have had to use our 50 years of experience along with tid bits we have found on the Web and have started a spreadsheet for notes and cooking times. It’s early days and the smart oven will not be a “put it in the cupboard job” The other option seems to be something like a counter top electric oven / grill with a fan, with a drop down door. The Uten Air Fryer Oven prioritizes safety and has an automatic protection mechanism against overheating. This makes it a smart tabletop oven choice for those concerned about potential hazards in the kitchen. The appliance’s build quality and features ensure that it remains a reliable option for your cooking needs. Navigating The Uten Air Fryer Oven's FeaturesI don’t regret buying the Smart Oven and would certainly recommend it as a bit of very useful kit. I anticipate that we will use it and learn to cook in a different way. The basic info doesn’t seem to be included with the user manual e.g. which of the 3 shelf positions do you use for cooking certain foods and how long you need to cook stuff for. There are several “preset” options, which can be amended to suit but which shelf position to use seems to be a bit of a guesswork. Unleash your culinary creativity and enjoy guilt-free cooking with the Uten 10L Digital Air Fryer Oven. The advanced air circulation technology allows you to achieve crispy and evenly cooked results without the need for excess oil. This means you can savor your favorite fried foods with up to 85% less fat compared to traditional deep frying methods. Plus, the 12 preset menus ensure that your meals are cooked to perfection, taking the guesswork out of temperature and cooking times. Convenience and Versatility Combined The “spit roasting” facility should allow you to cook all sorts of meat and veg to make maybe kebabs, you are only limited by your imagination! This may not be a big deal for you, but it is a big deal for me. I want crispy air fried food in the shortest time possible.

The instruction book leaves a lot to be desired. Ideally it would include info about what shelf height to use along with the cooking temperature and time. I like the fact that you have a removable metal bottom grill in the air fryer basket. The problem is that there are rubber pads on this so that it can sit inside the air fryer basket and not scratch it.Healthy Stainless Steel Material: Air fryer is specially formulated and designed with a food-grade 304, no chemical coating, PFOA-free & BPA Free. We are proud to be one of the few brands that serve high quality, food-safe air fryers. We’ve been cooking for over 50 years but this is a whole new way of cooking and using the “new cooker” is going to be a steep learning curve. We have used a “Halogen Oven” and had some success but it didn’t really do what we wanted and wasn’t easy to clean. An ideal choice for those looking to invest in a reliable kitchen appliance offering great features, performance, and value for money.
