It’s a great addition for anyone who wants to cook healthy meals without sacrificing convenience or flavor.
🔍 Key Features
🍟 1. Air Frying with Rapid SHS Technology
Using De’Longhi’s proprietary Surround Heating System (SHS), the Extra Chef ensures even cooking from top and bottom heating elements. This allows for crispy, delicious results using little to no oil, making it perfect for guilt-free fries, chicken wings, and more.

It's an all-in-one solution for small kitchens or minimalist cooks.

One of the standout features is the removable automatic stirring paddle, which stirs ingredients during cooking. It’s ideal for risottos, curries, and stews—allowing you to walk away while the machine does the work.
🧼 4. Easy to Clean
The non-stick bowl and detachable components make cleaning fast and simple. No stubborn residue, no mess.
