Dual-Zone Air Fryer

Emeril’s Dual-Zone Air Fryer: Tested Versus Traditional…Surprising Savings

When Emeril Lagasse's Dual-Zone 360 Air Fryer promised to cook two foods differently, at the same time, even faster, we were intrigued. We pitted it against timeless classics like the Original Makin Bacon Microwave Dish for rapid, crisp bacon, and compared its overall efficiency with the simple yet effective Bacon Tray set. The results? While the air fryer certainly delivered speed verging on the magical, especially on standard frozen fare, the saving surprised us less in terms of pure cost per meal and more in the sheer reduction of time and effort needed—not just for bacon, but for a variety of simultaneous cooking tasks where traditional methods would demand more prep and separate appliances.
