How to choose
App control is not just recipes
App control means setting targets, watching temperature and getting alerts from a phone, while a recipe app only shows recipes. The Typhur app sets custom cook targets, monitors real-time temperature and manages multi-stage cooking. The CHEF iQ app programs and monitors cooking from anywhere over Wifi. A recipe app alone does not control the oven.
Match capacity to the cook
Capacity here runs from 4 qt to 27 qt, so compare the basket or oven size with the food you cook most. The Ninja holds 4 qt, the Emerson holds 5.3 qt, the CHEF iQ holds 25 qt and the Typhur holds 27 qt. A grill grate that fits 6 steaks suits mains and sides at once, while a 27 qt oven fits a 12 inch pizza.
Probes, windows and thermometers
A probe reads the food's core temperature, while a window shows browning without opening the door. The Typhur probe tracks core temperature in real time and stops at the desired doneness, and the Ninja thermometer uses 4 protein presets and 9 doneness levels. The CHEF iQ and the Emerson each add a window for watching food as it cooks.
