Flexible Basket Design:
The 11-QT basket offers versatility for various cooking needs.

Dual Cooking Modes:
When using the divider, you can leverage advanced cooking synchronization features:
- Cook & Serve Together (Smart Finish): This feature allows you to cook two different foods at unique temperatures and times, ensuring they both finish cooking simultaneously. Select this mode and set the desired temperature and time for each basket. The air fryer will automatically adjust the cooking start times so both items are ready at the same moment.
