The ideal air fryer size depends on the number of people you typically cook for.
-
For 1-2 people: A 2- to 4-quart air fryer is generally sufficient.
-
For a family of 4 or more: You'll want at least a 6-quart capacity. Larger families or those who frequently entertain may benefit from an even larger model.
| Household Size | Recommended Air Fryer Size |
|---|---|
| 1-2 people | 2-4 quarts |
| 4+ people | 6+ quarts |
Consider also what you plan to cook most often. If you frequently cook whole chickens or larger roasts, you'll need a larger air fryer.
