Air fryers with two baskets are a convenient kitchen appliance that lets you cook multiple dishes simultaneously. Air fryers with two baskets provide more cooking capacity and flexibility than traditional single-basket air fryers.

Here are the main advantages of choosing an air fryer with two baskets:

• More capacity: Two baskets allow you to cook larger quantities of food simultaneously, which is ideal for larger families or when you have guests.
• Different settings: You can cook two different dishes simultaneously with different temperatures and cooking times without mixing flavours.
• Time-saving: The ability to cook two dishes at once can reduce overall cooking time.
• Flexibility: If you only need to cook a small portion, you can choose to use just one basket. Choosing a model with two baskets provides increased flexibility.

These are the main disadvantages of choosing an air fryer with two baskets:

• Size: An air fryer with two baskets is often larger and typically requires more counter space in the kitchen than a smaller air fryer.
• Price: These models are generally more expensive than models with one basket.
• Complexity: More baskets and settings can make the appliance more complex to use and clean.
