I'm Avoiding My Oven This Summer – This Non-Toxic Typhur Air Fryer Roasts a Whole Chicken Without Heating the House
When the temperatures soar, this countertop essential gets me through dinner time
It's an unpopular opinion, but I hate summer. The heat and humidity make even the simplest tasks feel exhausting, and cooking is arguably the worst of them all.
The last thing I want to do when I'm already sweating is turn on the oven, but takeout every night isn't the answer. That's where the best non-toxic air fryers come in, delivering quick, flavorful meals while keeping the kitchen far cooler than a regular oven.
Better still, our top-rated ceramic air fryer, the Typhur Sync Air Fryer, is currently $60 off. Spacious enough to roast a whole chicken and efficient enough for everyday meals, it's one of the smartest ways to make summer cooking both cooler and more affordable.
The Typhur Sync is precise, professional, and PFAS-free. It comes with a temperature probe for perfectly juicy meat and crispy fries. We found it to be speedy, spacious, and safe.

Of all the rooms in a house, I think it is hardest to keep a kitchen cool during a heatwave. With everything plugged in and designed to create heat, even the largest, best ventilated cook spaces can feel suffocating. That is why when the peak season hits, I tend to plan my menus around avoiding my oven.
Sometimes, however, it is simply impossible to avoid – especially when hosting. So, given that a large conventional oven is one of the worst offenders for making a kitchen too hot, I turn to the best air fryers instead.
While they still produce heat, efficient models such as the Typhur Sync, available at Amazon, cook foods more quickly, reducing the time spent laboring over a hot stove, and they can be positioned closer to open windows, so heat can be vented straight out to keep your home cool.
What we love about the Typhur Sync, especially, is its capacity. While a countertop air fryer will never be able to hold as much as a traditional wall oven, the Sync is capable of cooking a whole chicken without complaint. It even comes with a wireless thermometer probe so you can cook everything to perfection without having to keep opening the hot drawer.
On our tests, cooking results were consistently crisp and delicious across fries, vegetables, and roast chicken, and the intuitive touchscreen controls and dishwasher-safe accessories made it easy to live with day to day. And, despite the large eight-quart capacity, it is surprisingly slim and doesn't dominate the countertop.
It is truly hard to fault, making it one of the best investments you can make for your kitchen, no matter the time of year.
