Cuisinart 4-Quart Glass-Basket Air Fryer with Viewing Window
Product description
The Cuisinart 4-quart glass-basket air fryer ships with a durable borosilicate glass cooking bowl, a removable nonstick crisper plate, and a cover/lid that converts the appliance into a storage container for leftovers. The clear glass basket is designed to move from prep to cook to table to refrigerator without transferring food to another dish.
Built for visibility, the unit features a top viewing window and an interior light so you can check progress without lifting the basket and losing heat. The glass bowl is removable: slide it straight out to shake or check food, which pauses cooking automatically, then slide it back in to resume.
This 4-qt capacity handles everyday portions—about 1.5 lb of fries, roughly 2 lb of wings, or up to a 4 lb whole chicken in a single cycle. The digital controller lets you select one of five cooking modes (Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Recrisp, Keep Warm) and save two custom presets. The heater reaches up to 450°F and adjusts in 5-degree increments for fine-tuned browning and crisping.
Cleanup is straightforward: the borosilicate bowl and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe, and the nonstick surface on the crisper is PFAS-free. The machine’s compact footprint suits smaller kitchens, and the product is covered by a multi-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Pros
- Transparent borosilicate bowl for real-time monitoring
- Five functions plus two programmable presets
- Dishwasher-safe glass and PFAS-free crisper plate
Cons
- 4-quart capacity may be small for larger families
- Display legibility can be affected by lighting
- Glass can hold cooking aromas between uses
VerdictThis mid-size glass-basket air fryer blends prep-to-serve convenience with precise cooking control. The see-through bowl and interior lamp let you monitor browning without opening the unit, while five functions plus two custom presets and temperatures to 450°F deliver versatile results. Easy cleanup thanks to dishwasher-safe borosilicate and a PFAS-free crisper plate makes it a practical choice fo

My go-to air fryer now
I’ve tried several models and this is my favorite. It runs quietly, heats fast, and the glass basket is a big plus. Very easy to maintain—I’d rate it a 10/10.

Great all-rounder
My first air fryer and it performs well. I love the see-through bowl and rectangular shape. The alarm to stir food is handy and it’s easy to clean.

Happy with the visibility
Love being able to watch food cook. Cleanup is a breeze, though the bowl isn’t deep enough for a larger chicken or roast—best for one or two people.

Feature-rich compact unit
We air fry several times a week and this model impressed us. The window and bright interior light make it easy to monitor food. The removable bowl pauses cooking when pulled out, so shaking fries is simple.

They're really durable and they work well but they go so high they cut off the c 4/5
Solid build, holds smells
User-friendly, sturdy, and cooks evenly without oil. The glass construction feels premium. My only gripe is it can retain odors from strongly flavored foods, so I dock one star.

Perfect for solo meals
I can crisp 1–2 chicken thighs in about 20 minutes on the countertop. The glass bowl makes it easy to watch progress and cleanup is very simple. It replaces my need to heat the big oven for single servings.

Very pleased with purchase
I like the compact size, the internal light, and how smoothly the bowl slides in and out. No preheating required and it cooks quickly.

Compact and convenient
Much improved over bulkier styles. You can bake, air fry, and keep food warm with minimal splatter and little cleanup. I often use paper liners and it’s sturdy enough to serve from at the table.

Simple and light to use
Just started using it and I like it so far. The glass bowl is easy to wash and there’s no greasy buildup under a coated basket. It’s lightweight and sits nicely on the counter. One minor wish: brighter or colored digits would help older users read the display.
