Wanted a location for it, on a flat, stable and heat resistant surface (usually on the countertop), close to the wall - although leaving a free space for heat to circulate - and without the cable hanging; It is also advisable not to place it near the edge.
The measurements are 29,2 x 359 x 44,9 centimeters, to which we must add the handle that protrudes forward (which is removable).
Before using it for the first time, it is advisable to wash the bucket and shovel, using water, soap and a soft sponge. Previously, you can boil 300-500 milliliters of water in the bucket for about 20 minutes. Afterwards, they are left to dry well or a soft cloth or kitchen paper is used to do so.
When you connect the fryer to the power, the lights turn on and it emits a beep to indicate that it is in standby., and we can now press the button to open the lid and start cooking with it.
How the TurboCecoFry 4D Healthy works
The operation of air fryers is based on that of convection ovens. Hot air is circulated inside the appliance to achieve uniform and faster cooking of food, with consequent energy savings.
The TurboCecoFry 4D Healthy combines Automatic 4D Intelligent technology, which distributes heat in 360º, with the rotating movement of the blade, which Helps food receive heat from all sides, for greater efficiency and better results than traditional air fryers.
The ability to see what is being cooked is also a very interesting aspect., since most air fryers do not allow it, which requires you to open the container to see how the recipe is going (some models do have a viewing window, such as the Cecofry Experience Window 6000, Aigostar Zane or the Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L).
In addition, It has a wide temperature range that allows you to make a wide variety of preparations (even yogurts), cooking with precision and in a very simple way.
Cooking without oil or using a small amount is something that attracts many users. The TurboCecoFry 4D Healthy combines the hot air cooking system with the three-layer stone ceramic coating, to prevent food from sticking.
Depending on the type of food, we can cook without any oil or adding a small amount (as a guide, one or two tablespoons), which we can distribute using a silicone spatula, or directly use a spray bottle.
To cook fattier foods, such as salmon or hamburgers, we can do it without additional oil., while for drier others it is advisable to use a small amount.
In the case of "natural" French fries, it is better to use a little oil, to achieve a more golden and crispy finish. (if they are frozen, it is better not to add it). In addition, it is good to cut them and have them submerged in water for at least 30 minutes, to remove the starch and thus obtain a crispier result.
Its round shape, together with the rotating part, allows you to make better use of the height of the device, so Its 3-liter capacity allows you to cook up to 1,5 kilograms of potatoes, making it suitable for 4-6 people..

Opinions on the TurboCecoFry 4D Healthy
An excellent purchase, the cost of oil is greatly reduced, thus you eat healthier, and it is also very easy to clean. I am very happy with the purchase.
I had a Tefal that was similar and I have been very happy for the 10 years I have had it. Now, I have decided on this one from Cecotec because it had more features at a better price, makes less noise and is very easy to use. A good value for money.
What I like the most is that it makes less noise than others. Also I really like the programs it includes, they allow you to do almost anything easily. The fan part is not so easy to clean, the rest is all disassembled. I also like the design, personally, I recommend it.
I come from a Tefal Actifry and it took me a little while to get used to the menus. I think it is an ideal device, as it is transparent you can see how the food is being made, I use it a lot, especially to make potatoes. With just a little bit of oil I make 1 kilo of French fries, ideal for children.
