Typhur Sync Air Fryer Review

Introduction

In the crowded field of air fryers, the Typhur Sync Air Fryer is in a class by itself. The appliance has several features that you won’t find on most other models (at least, not yet). For example, the Typhur Sync has a built-in wireless probe (meat thermometer) that sits in a cradle on top of the air fryer. The Typher app offers almost complete control of the appliance – and even includes three presets that are not on the control panel! The presets for wings, fries, and bacon can only be accessed via app. Keep reading to discover what else makes the Typhur Sync Air Fryer so special.

Design

• Magnetic case houses wireless probe
• Two control panels
• 6 presets on controls

The Typur Sync Air Fryer arrived in a brown, branded cardboard box. Everything was well-packaged to prevent damage. 

The contents include the main air fryer body, basket (ceramic-coated and PFAS- and toxin-free), grill plate, wireless probe, probe case, and also documentation (user manual, quick start guide, and precautions before use).

The probe is made of stainless steel and has a high-density ceramic handle, and a safety notch. It has 5 internal temperature sensors in various locations. The probe needs to be charged for at least 30 minutes before using it for the first time. A 30-minute charge provides 12 hours of continuous usage, while a 10-minute charge will last for 8 hours, and a 3-minute charge will deliver 3.5 hours of continuous usage. 

The thing about using probes is that you have to remember where you put them. However, there’s actually a cradle (magnetic case) on top of the air fryer, and this is where the probe is housed and where it charges.

There are actually two control panels. One is the general control panel and the other control panel is only displayed when in probe mode. 

The general (or manual) control panel includes the power button, up and down arrows on the left to increase or decrease the temperature, and up and down arrows on the right to increase or decrease the time. The 6 presets (air fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, reheat, and preheat) are at the bottom of this section, along with the start button. However, the Typhur app provides access to 3 additional preset programs: bacon, wings, and fries. These presets cannot be accessed using the air fryer’s onboard controls.

When using the probe, a separate set of controls will appear at the top of the control panel. This is where you’d choose presets for beef, chicken, pork, and fish. This is also where you can select the doneness level (from rare to well done). The probe status is also displayed here, such as the charging status, and the disconnect option.  Both the target temperature and the current temperature are shown in this section as well, along with the option to use the probe manually. 

The air fryer has a temperature range of 105°F to 450°F.

Performance

• Typhur AI recipe generator
• App controls
• Probe makes cooking foolproof

Typhur recommends preheating the air fryer for optimal results. There’s also a flipping reminder (the words FLIP flash on the control panel). The appliance chimes when cooking cycles are complete.

For my first test, I made French Toast. I’m familiar with the process, but pulled up the recipe on Typhur AI, which generated ingredients and extensive directions. 

I like Typhur AI because it doesn’t just provide general instructions. I can chose which Typhur device I’m using, and it customizes the instructions for that appliance.

I preheated the oven and then baked the French Toast at 370°F for 10 minutes, flipping at the halfway point. The French Toast was golden brown on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. 

Since I’m not the type of person who cooks whole chickens, I did the next best thing and roasted 2 large chicken breasts for my next test. I used the probe in manual mode, so it did not open the probe control panel. 

However, the chicken breasts turned out fine and it was slightly browned on the outside and juicy when I sliced into them. 

When cooking the chuck roast, I used probe mode. I actually made the selections using the app on my smartphone, instead of using the onboard controls. 

On the app, there’s an option to select timer mode or probe mode. Selections made via the app are displayed on the air fryer, so everything is synced. 

I set the chuck roast for medium rare, and that’s how it turned out. It was flavorful, easy to slice, and retained plenty of juice to keep it from drying out.

I also used the probe when making pork chops in the Typhur Sync Air Fryer. This was another test that came out quite well. The pork chops were browned around the edges, and had a rich, hearty flavor. Sometimes, the texture or pork chops can be rather tough and dry, but that was not the case in this air fryer. The chops were juicy and mouthwatering.

I love making cookies in air fyers, and this one was no exception. The Nestle Tollhouse Cookies came out crunchy on the outside, and gooey on the inside. 

French Fries also fared well in the Typer Sync Air Fryer. They were golden and crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside.

On two separate occasions, I made wings. The first time I made regular wings, and the second time, I made whole wings. Each time, they were crispy and juicy.
