In addition, the app has lots of recipes—along with photos and info on the serving size and cooking time. The oven’s Element iQ system decides how much heat to use depending on what’s being cooked, and the Joule Autopilot can easily transition from one cooking feature to the next. For those who are exhausted by app compatibility for your appliances, the smart functions are optional, so you can still operate the oven without them.Like the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, this brushed stainless steel countertop oven includes an air fryer among its 13 functions and also presets for toast (five browning settings/four slices of bread), bagel, broil, bake, roast, warm, pizza, proof, reheat, cookies, slow cook, and dehydrate. There’s enough room inside the appliance to hold a 14-pound turkey, nine slices of bread, and even a five-quart Dutch oven.
