Emeril Lagasse’s name carries weight in kitchens for a reason. His Everyday 360 Air Fryer XL backs that up with a core engineering choice: five heating elements. Most countertop ovens use three. This setup mimics a full-size oven’s even heat, which directly translates to consistent results whether you’re air frying fries on the top rack or baking a casserole dish on the bottom.

With 930 cubic inches, this is a true countertop oven replacement. The 12 presets, from Slow Cook to a dedicated Pizza function, are genuinely useful for cutting down guesswork. You’ll use the custom toaster setting for bagels just as often as the Rotisserie for a whole chicken. The stainless steel build feels substantial during daily use, and the interior is straightforward to wipe clean after a messy roast.

It’s a large appliance, so you’ll need the counter space. The programmable timer and temperature controls are reliable, though navigating the digital interface takes a quick glance at the manual. For a household that regularly cooks for multiple people or wants to retire multiple single-use gadgets, its versatility justifies the footprint.
