You’ll notice that this electric digital air fryer is quite different from the 3.2-quart version. From the cooking capacity, a sensitive topic among many buyers, to the overall design, we’ve looked into it. And we’ve found a lot of many other interesting features that we’re anxious to share with you.
Main Features of the Elite Platinum air fryer
When you buy the Elite Platinum air fryer you get a package that includes the EAF-1506D Digital Air Fryer unit, colored in black. You will notice that it is 12.64″ high x 13.43″ wide x 16.69″ deep and that it weighs 14.3 lbs. Made of aluminum, with a sleek design and prominent air inlet and outlet openings, it boasts a central touch screen panel. All the quick menu functions are listed in there, with:
- Power button;
- Start/Stop button with double function;
- Menu button;
- Time/temperature button with double function;
- 6 predefined cooking modes – bake, meat, fish, veg, cheese, fries;
- Dedicated buttons to increase and to decrease the time/temperature value;
- Heating indicator that illuminates when the unit is heating;
- Time symbol.
The Elite Platinum Air Fryer is ready to work at a voltage of 120 volts and a wattage of 1400 watts. It has no custom preheat option, that’s obvious. But just as naturally, the digital time and temperature controllers will allow you to set whatever values for any preheat requirements before placing the food in. Coming up next, you will find a lot more details on each of its special features.
- Intuitive and easy to control
With the help of the Elite Platinum Air Fryer, anyone can cook an impressive range of dishes. From frying to baking, from meat and veggies to cheese and pastry, there’s little that won’t go in there. As expected, it will get out perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The advanced touch screen technology makes all the steps simple and intuitive. One can choose between the 6 quick menu functions (bake, meat, fish / cheese, vegetables and French fries) respectively setting custom values. When the cooking cycle has ended, the auto shut off function will come into play.
- 3.5-quart basket
As mentioned, with this Elite Platinum Air Fryer you get both a frying pan and a baking pot. Both with a non-stick layer, but with different cooking capacities. In the frying basket, tucking in up to 2.5 lbs. of food is perfectly manageable, thanks to the 3.5-quart capacity. The baking pot, with its 4.75-quart capacity, can take in even more food. According to the manufacturer’s indications, the Elite Platinum Air Fryer can handle up to: 6-8 dinner rolls; 3-4 filets of chicken or other meats; 24 chicken wings; 3-4 filets of fish; 2 lbs of thin cut fries or 1.5 lbs of wedges; 1.5 lbs cheese sticks; and 2 lbs cut vegetables.
- Timer of up to 60 minutes
The temperature control is one of the most natural things to set on an Elite Platinum Air Fryer. Despite the fact that getting to the temperature settings will require using a button with a double function, it’s not difficult at all. The Touch Screen Panel features, on the left area of the large time display, the Time/Temperature button. The area is easy to recognize by the symbols of a clock and a thermometer, separated by a dash. One tap on this digital button will toggle between Temperature and Cook Time. The latter can be set from 1 to 60 minutes, with increments of 1 minute. The Increase and Decrease arrows from the right side of the timer display will help adjust the time.
- Temperature control
As suggested above, accessing the temperature control implies using the same touch button as for the timer. One gentle tap on the responsive screen will make the switch from Time to Temperature. The side arrows will allow adjusting the cooking temperature to anything from 302oF to 392oF. Once the Elite Platinum Air Fryer starts working and as long as it heats up, the heating indicator from the right side of the display will stay On. To make it easier, the unit also displays the symbols of some of the most common dishes, with time and temperature suggestions, right on the top of its outer case.
- Dishwasher safe
Both the pan and the basket of the Elite Platinum Air Fryer can be easily cleaned. If the situation allows it, a simple wipe with a damp cloth can clean it all up. At the same time, using just warm, soapy water and a gentle, non-abrasive sponge, will be more than enough. And still, most people prefer to take advantage of the dishwasher safe construction of this unit. This is perfectly fine, as long as the area with the LED control panel, the appliance body, and the power cord are NOT exposed to water. For this reason, even after the pan or the pot were taken out of the dishwasher, it is important that no traces of water remain on it before inserting it back into the unit.
- Versatile and safe to use
As already shown through the entire above, the Elite Platinum Air Fryer can tackle everything from healthy snacks to main dishes and desserts. But next to ease of use, its greatest asset is the selection of safety measures in terms of design and technical functionality. For instance, all the detachable pots conceived for this unit come with a non-stick coating. Taking them out or inserting them back in is so effortless when you rely on the cool touch handle. And while in use, the high-speed motor hot air circulation and the overheat protection make a great team. In the end, suffices to let the unit cut off the heating system as soon as the cooking time elapsed.
How the Elite Platinum air fryer works:
The Elite Platinum Air Fryer works, like all the other fryers, with the revolutionary Rapid Air Technology. The patented system of high speed air circulation makes the hot air to circulate inside the closed cooking pot in a way that surrounds the ingredients. All that hot air circulation, combined with the vapors of oil released from the added oil or the fatty juice of the meats will create a finger-licking crust. The result is a dish that looks, smells, and tastes like a deep-fried dish, only that way healthier.
How to use the Elite Platinum Air Fryer:
- First, place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface – make sure you have at least 4 inches between the unit and everything else surrounding it!
- Open the top cover and lift out the inside basket to place the ingredients in it, putting the basket back in right after that.
- Then, you can close the lid and plug in the power cord.
- Use the Power button to take it out of the standby mode and adjust the cooking time – manually or from the preset options.
- Tap the START button and go enjoy your spare time, the Elite Platinum Air Fryer will handle it all and use the safety shut off when it finishes cooking.
- Just make sure, in the end, when you take out the frying pan, that you take off the lid and let the steam get out before you take out the pan!
