The space-age Typhur Dome might have solved the big problem with air fryers

Air fryers can be great for saving time and energy, but from a practical perspective, there seems to be a flaw in the design. Most of today’s best air fryers are tall rather than wide, so while the internal volume is generous, usable space can be quite limited. Unless you cook something that fits comfortably in those dimensions, the food will end up stacked, rather than sitting in a single layer. The result is uneven crispiness and the need to shake the contents halfway through cooking to achieve consistent browning.

Typhur aims to provide a solution with its Dome air fryer, which has a wider, shallower design that allows you to cook as much food as possible in one layer. You can fit 32 wings on a single rack, or an entire 12-inch pizza, without having to cut it into pieces. Since food isn’t stacked, the results should be better and more evenly crispy… and that’s what everyone wants from their air fryer, right?

The Dome is a pretty popular product right now (no pun intended), making the rounds on TikTok and being featured by Kelly Clarkson on her show. It even comes with an endorsement from Brooklyn Peltz Beckham – and if that’s not an endorsement you can trust, I don’t know what is.

Of course, the wider blueprint means you’ll need more counter space. For smaller kitchens, a model like the new Ninja Double Stack air fryer, which has two drawers on top of each other, may offer a better solution. Or visit our roundup of the best small air fryers for more compact options.
