Do you use your air fryer as a toaster?

I tried it once, and the toast flew around.

I have a toaster oven-style air fryer. I do not use it for normal toast, it's much easier to pop the bread in the toaster. I do use it to toast bigger things like Turkish bread or hamburger buns, but that is using the grill function, not the toast function. I sometimes use it to cook crumpets, because I like the top of a crumpet to be cooked longer than the bottom, and a normal toaster cooks it the same amount of time.

My mum always uses her air fryer to cook toast.


You must be talking about the basket-style air fryer, because it won't fly around in the rack style that the OP is asking about. I had the same problem as you with bread in my old basket style AF! 

I bought the toaster-oven-style Ninja air fryer to replace my little toaster-oven (don’t have a dedicated toaster), and it works great. Never blows the bread around and the toast or muffins come out perfect. It’s set for 2 slices/4 (medium) on the darkness scale, and that works fine for pretty much everything. I keep an eye on it if, say, there’s only one slice instead of two. Could change the settings, but I’m too lazy.

Of course, I use it for air fryer business, too. But it also works great as a toaster.


ETA it’s on the toast setting when I use it for toasting.

Me too. My DH is making toast right now! It makes perfect toast.

I have the ninja flip, that thing does everything.

I have this one as well and love it.  Toasts to perfection!

We use the toaster setting on our air fryer often. It works fine.

Sorry, just saw this.  We have this one:


Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer

I have the regular one (the first one you posted) it ideal for the two of us , its 13x13 .

We have this one. I bought it when we were gutting our kitchen and were out a stove for 7 weeks. THEN our induction stovetop went out (15 months later) and we've been out a cooktop since mid-August.  It has been used.

I have a KitchenAid toaster oven-style that has multiple functions. I do use it to toast things, on the toast setting, as one reason I got this style was to eliminate the small toaster oven, separate air fryer and toaster so I would have fewer appliances on the counter.

I like toasting things lying flat like in this oven - I can toast muffins cut in half, delicate things like pumpkin brioche bread, cornbread, etc., that would normally fall apart in a toaster. It probably takes a little longer, but I like the versatility.
