Magnifique's new cooker combines two of my favorite kitchen appliances in one nontoxic, easy-to-use machine.

My air fryer and slow cooker are two of my most prized kitchen tools. I recently downsized to a machine that does both. It’s the most complete multipurpose small cooking appliance I own, and I can’t stop talking about it.

At first glance, the Magnifique looks a lot like Ninja’s Crispi air fryer — another favorite of ours — with a 4.5-quart glass bowl cooking chamber and similar clamp-on air fryer hood. What sets this model apart is the optional cooking base below, which turns the appliance into a slow cooker, rice cooker and braising pot, among other functions.

The glass bowl offers several advantages over nonstick or ceramic air fryer baskets, and the entire unit breaks apart when not in use, meaning you can store it in a cupboard, pantry or large drawer.

Here’s everything you need to know about the single best small kitchen appliance I’ve tested all year. 

The Magnifique’s Combo Glass Air Fryer + Multi-Cooker launched earlier this year. If you’ve never heard of Magnifique, neither had I just a year ago, but the brand has quietly unleashed a small but impressive line of premium countertop kitchen appliances. The lineup includes a claypot multicooker, rice cooker, glass air fryer, and a handheld ice cream maker. 

I’ve tested a few, and none impressed me more than the air fryer-slow cooker combo.
