Typhur helps you to management this the way in which subtle toaster ovens like Breville’s do: by way of settings like “grill” or “broil” that modulate each fan velocity and first warmth supply. The grill setting combines the crispness of an air fryer with direct warmth from the underside of the basket—that means I can brown and even calmly grill-char a pair of rooster legs at 450 levels Fahrenheit, resulting in deliciously crispy-fatty pores and skin. That is additionally how the oven does pizza and pancakes, heating every from beneath however at a a lot decrease fan setting to keep away from drying out the crust or batter.
This stated, Typhur does not make its settings overly straightforward to parse, besides through a current weblog submit that also requires just a little parsing. I might love if the machine or app provided indicators to point out which burners have been most lively, and the velocity of the fan, for every setting. However for now, beneath is a useful chart explaining the varied cooking modes.
On the whole, the upper the fan velocity, count on extra browning or crisping on the floor because the air attracts throughout the floor and steals the moisture—which is the primary cause air fryers are so efficient at creating crispy meals. That stated, an excessive amount of fan can dry out the meals over time.

However you will not get full use out of the Dome 2 until you pair it to your telephone. Many capabilities aren’t accessible from the eight-button management panel on the machine itself. The app’s most easy bonus is a 48-deep menu of recipes designed particularly for the Dome 2. These vary from easy suggestions for bacon, rooster legs, or asparagus to air fryer desserts and cookies, and rooster sous-chef.
When you select a recipe, you’ll be able to tweak each temperature and time, based mostly on how a lot meals you’ve got added or how thick you’ve got sliced your bacon. Then click on begin, and the machine’s setting will pair up with the recipe on the app. You may nonetheless must bodily press begin on the machine, as a security measure.
However many helpful capabilities are app-only, together with dehydrate, bake, and roast—plus an added Steak preset. No baking or steaking if the Wi-Fi’s down! (The Wings and Bacon presets, oddly, are the buttons on the machine which can be most much like the baking operate.)
The self-clean operate, which heats the oven at excessive temps to burn gunk off the heating parts, can be app-only. The basket and griddle grate are coated with PFAS- and PTFE-free ceramic nonstick, and it is fairly straightforward to wipe clear—however the self-clean, meant for month-to-month use, is an efficient backup for the oven inside.
Worth apart —this Typhur is not low-cost—reliance on the app is likely one of the primary sticking factors on an in any other case terrific machine. (Although I might additionally like extra visibility on fan velocity and first burners.) I’ve accepted, for no matter cause, that my Google TV is a brick with no distant or a telephone app. However I assume I nonetheless need to have the ability to bake cookies when my telephone’s lifeless. Possibly I must be taught to cease worrying and love the good kitchen.
