Features of the Dash Deluxe 6 Quart Air Fryer

The main features of the Dash Deluxe air fryer include:

Design

The Dash deluxe air fryer has a stylish design.

The two dials are the temperature (located at the top) and time dial.

You’re able to quickly select your cooking time and temperature by moving the dials to the corresponding reading.

Although larger than the other Dash air fryers, this deluxe air fryer can fit most spaces and kitchen countertops.

Control Panel

The Dash Deluxe 6-quart air fryer is a manual type of air fryer.

Instead of a control panel, it has dials that aid in setting the cooking time and temperature.

As mentioned earlier, the deluxe air fryer has two dials, one at the top and the other on the face of the appliance.

Both dials feature a metallic coating to make them stand out.

The top temperature dial allows you to easily set the cooking temperature.

It has a maximum cooking temperature of 400°F. This temperature is adequate to prepare meat, seafood, veggies, and baked products.

For the time dial, you can prepare meals between 0 to 30 minutes.

The time range can limit your cooking. However, this can be compensated by adding more time once the initial set time has lapsed.

The Dash Deluxe also has an auto shut-off feature that enhances the safety of cooking.

It shuts off when the cooking time has elapsed. You don’t have to worry about overcooking.

The air fryer can be left alone without much worry.

Air Fryer Basket

Dash Deluxe air fryer has a 6-quart capacity air fryer basket.

You’ll find the manual referring to the air fryer basket as the crisper drawer.

The 6-quart deluxe air fryer capacity can accommodate a 2 lbs. bag of fries or 24 pieces of wings.

This size air fryer can comfortably serve 4 to 6 people.

The air fryer basket is non-stick, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe.

The non-stick properties of the crisper drawer help to prevent food from sticking to the air fryer.

Cooking Functions

You can air fry and reheat food.

The limited cooking functions don’t hinder you from cooking a variety of dishes.

You can prepare meals, snacks, and bake using this air fryer.

This Dash air fryer can make sweat potatoes, tofu, chicken, seafood, veggies, and baked delicacies.

Differences between these air fryers are in the design, functionality, cooking functions, temperature, and time ranges.

Ninja AF161 Max XL on the other hand is digital with a maximum cooking temperature of 450°F and a cooking range of 60 minutes.

Another major difference is the cooking functions.
