Nuwave Brio Plus 7-Qt Air Fryer 🍳
Description:
This 7-quart air fryer from Nuwave brings a large-capacity, multi-function countertop cooker that aims to replace several appliances in the kitchen while keeping safety and clean cooking front and center. It combines air frying, baking, roasting, dehydrating, toasting, and reheating with precise temperature control from 50°F to 400°F, making it useful for family meals and batch cooking with consistent results.
Key Points
The Brio Plus focuses on clean materials and quiet operation. Its 360-degree all-metal interior prevents food contact with heated plastic, and the dual-layer ceramic coating on the basket is described by the manufacturer as PFAS-free. The unit offers Turbo Convection with a multi-blade fan and selectable wattage levels, which help achieve faster, more even cooking and crispier textures without frequent flipping. The full-touch digital display and real-time temperature control in 5°F increments simplify adjustments during cooking. Note that the manufacturer reports three wattage options to suit different electrical environments and to lock performance where needed.

Benefits
Using the Brio Plus can reduce oil use while still producing browned and crisp results, which is helpful for those looking to cut calories or simplify cleanup. The 100 built-in presets and 50 customizable programs created with chef input aim to take the guesswork out of settings for common foods and cooking styles. Real-time linear temperature control allows subtle adjustments mid-cycle and helps avoid stopping and restarting when fine-tuning is needed. The dishwasher-safe components make maintenance straightforward, and the quieter fan operation helps if you prefer lower kitchen noise during meal prep.
Usage Recommendations
For foods that need fast, even airflow such as breaded items or frozen snacks, use the Turbo Convection mode and the crisping rack to encourage airflow and surface browning. Dehydrating works best with lower temperatures and the included settings, and the wide temperature range makes it easy to switch from low-temperature drying to high-heat roasting. Consider selecting a lower wattage if you are in a space with limited electrical capacity, according to the available power options. Keep in mind that ceramic coatings perform differently from traditional PTFE coatings, and while they are marketed as durable and PFAS-free, very high-temperature exposure can affect longevity, according to manufacturer guidance.
