Frequently asked questions

For one or two people, 2 to 4 litres is enough; for three or four, aim for 4.5 to 6 litres; from five people, 6 to 8 litres or more, or a dual-zone model that cooks a main and a side at the same time.

A dual basket cooks two foods at different settings and finishes them together; it is wider or taller. A single basket is more compact and suits one dish at a time.

It helps if you follow guided recipes or want to check on cooking remotely. For simple use, a model without an app cooks just as well.
