Jennie Garth’s go-to gadget is this ‘genius’ Drew Barrymore-designed air fryer

As a senior home writer here at Yahoo, I’m always on the lookout for multitasking gadgets and appliances that have the potential to save me (and you!) time and space in the kitchen. So, when I recently had the chance to chat with actress Jennie Garth at the launch event for her new “Me” fashion collection for QVC (more about that here), I couldn’t help but ask a few questions about the mom of three’s favorite items for effortless cooking.

Garth’s go-to appliance? The Infrared Air Fry Toaster Oven from fellow celeb Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful collection — a sleek, speedy, stylish gadget that has 10 cooking and prepping functions. “It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s an air fryer, a toaster, a dehydrator … it’s genius,” Garth says. “I make toast in it every day. I’ve made vegan chicken nuggets in it, french fries … I just love it.”

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum isn’t the only fan of Drew Barrymore’s kitchen goods. Keep reading to discover a Yahoo editor favorite, and if you want more air fryer picks, check out our guide to the best air fryers for 2024.

As Garth pointed out, one of the best things about the Beautiful Infrared Air Fry Toaster Oven is how versatile it is — it can toast, air fry, broil, bake and even slow cook — plus it’s excellent for reheating and dehydrating. It also comes with presets for bagels, cookies and pizzas, meaning you won’t have to watch over them to ensure they’re done right.

And despite its 15-liter capacity — big enough to accommodate a 12-inch pizza, 9 slices of toast or a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish! — the Beautiful Infrared Air Fry Toaster Oven is sleek and compact, ideal for sitting underneath cabinets or on shelves. The trays extend out when you open the oven so you can arrange and reach foods without having to stick your hands into the warm interior.

Speaking of heat, this air fryer-toaster hybrid warms up 80% faster than a conventional oven, so you can skip a lengthy preheating process. It also doesn’t emit as much heat as a conventional oven, you don’t need to worry about it making a sauna of your entire kitchen, especially important in warmer seasons.

Last but not least, the Beautiful Infrared Air Fry Toaster Oven is very easy to look at, with a minimalistic design, a shiny gold handle and a digital touchscreen display. It comes in six gorgeous (and gorgeously named) colors — including White Icing, Black Sesame, Sage Green and Cornflower Blue — making it easy to find the right one for your decor. The only conundrum is having to choose!

If you’re looking for a more traditional air fryer design, Yahoo editor Rory Halperin is a big fan of the Beautiful Air Fryer with TurboCrisp Technology. Like the air fryer toaster, it has multiple cooking modes, including air fry, bake, roast and reheat, and operates with the tap of a touchscreen. It also comes with a dishwasher-safe crisping tray and basket for easy cleaning (for more details, read Halperin’s full review).
