The Benefits of Air Frying with your NEFF Oven
Air-frying and grilling harmonize in one oven
An air fryer is an electrical appliance that works like a miniature oven and features a heating element and a fan. The food is placed in a perforated basket or tray to allow hot air to circulate around it, browning or frying it until crisp. Having a NEFF oven with that comes with the air fry function means no need for a second appliance taking up valuable space on the kitchen worktop. The air fry grill tray accessory from can also be used with other heating modes, such as to produce succulent barbeque dishes.
*Only selected models come with a tray, so be sure to check the product description to confirm whether a tray is included.
Quick and healthy results
Foodies love air frying as a healthier alternative to traditional methods of frying and baking, due to the reduced need for oil and absorption of trans fats, while preventing food from drying out. Meat and fish develop a crispy crust, while remaining delightfully soft and succulent inside. It’s also a very quick method of cooking, with plenty of hot air circulating evenly around the food in the tray.
From eco-friendly to delicious
One of the biggest benefits of air frying is the versatility it offers. While it is an ideal method for producing crunchy chips, chicken wings or potato crisps, it can also be used to cook meat, fish, vegetables or even desserts such as doughnuts or apple crisps with cinnamon and sugar. Thinly sliced parsnips, beetroot and sweet potatoes marinated in olive oil and spices can also be fried in the air fryer, resulting in deliciously crunchy, wafer-thin crisps. Not only is air frying extremely easy, but it is also an eco-friendly method of cooking since it uses less oil.
In short, air frying is a fantastic option for health-conscious cooks with a creative flair. This versatile and innovative method of cooking is suitable for a wide range of foods, while the delectably crispy results are a joy to eat! Some NEFF ovens have the Air Fry function already built into the oven, while on other models you can simply use it via the Home Connect app and even save it as a favourite on most devices. Try it once, and you won’t look back.
Air Fry Function Recipes
Frequently asked questions
An oven with a hot air frying function uses a special combination of heating element, grill function and powerful fan. Hot air is distributed particularly intensively in the cooking chamber. The optimised airflow flows around the food from all sides and is actively drained out of the oven.

In the Air Fry oven, the grill radiator, fan and air exhaust work more closely together. This allows excess moisture to be removed more quickly, ideal for chips, potatoes or snacks that need to remain crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The Air Fry grill tray allows for optimal circulation of hot air in the oven and ensures crispy results.
