Borosil Best 3.6L Air Fryer: Design and Features

The Borosil Best 3.6L Air Fryer has a compact black steel body with an 800W power base. It runs on QuickFry Technology, which ensures fast and even cooking. The fryer offers temperature adjustments up to 200°C and includes a 30-minute auto-off timer, making it easy to cook without constant monitoring. Its ABS outer body, non-stick coated frying pan, and tray make it easy to clean.

One of the standout features is its 4-in-1 functionality, allowing it to fry, grill, bake, and roast. The air fryer also includes a stay-cool handle to prevent burns and a 1-meter power cord with a cord winder for easy storage. While it lacks a digital screen and preset functions, its simple rotary controls for temperature and timing are easy to operate.

Borosil Best 3.6L Air Fryer: Performance and Ease of Use

The Borosil Best 3.6L Air Fryer includes practical accessories like a cooking basket and a bottom grill, which help separate food from excess oils, leading to better cooking results and easier cleanup. Although it lacks features like a glass window for better visibility, its basic design is effective for everyday tasks.

The air fryer's wide temperature range allows for experimenting with various cooking methods, including air frying, baking, and dehydrating. However, some tasks, like dehydrating fruit, may require a bit of practice to perfect. The user manual provides basic instructions, but it lacks a comprehensive recipe guide. Without it, I started by testing the air fryer with marinated chicken breast and minimal oil.

The temperature and timer controls are straightforward, and while the first batch of snacks turned out slightly burnt, adjusting the temperature resulted in perfectly roasted chicken breast, omelettes, and vegetables with just a teaspoon of oil. However, the air fryer sometimes dries out food, leaving it less flavorful than expected.

Final Verdict

The Borosil Best 3.6L Air Fryer offers a solid option for small households or those looking for a straightforward cooking solution. Its 4-in-1 functionality—air frying, grilling, baking, and roasting - makes it versatile for a variety of meals. While it does its job well for simple tasks like air frying and roasting meat, it lacks certain advanced features like a digital screen or preset cooking modes, which many competitors offer in this price range. Additionally, its tendency to dry out food and lack of a comprehensive recipe guide may limit its appeal for users seeking a more refined cooking experience.

At Rs. 6,450, the Borosil air fryer may be an affordable choice for everyday meals, but if you're looking for more advanced features, better cooking consistency, or additional accessories like a glass window, you might want to explore other models.
