Abstract

A multi-cavity air fryer is provided that includes a main body having a cooking chamber where one or more cooking containers may be placed when an air frying function is carried out. A movable lid is hingedly attached to the main body. The cooking containers may be removed from the main body by way of an opening provided when the lid is opened. Similarly, when the lid is opened a user may check cooking progress without having to remove a cooking container from the cooking chamber.
