Gresland-Benc Air Fryer

About The Entry

The idea came from a simple, daily frustration—opening the air fryer mid-cook to check if food is burning, only to lose heat and reset the timer. For many, the air fryer is a black box: you press start and hope for the best. This project set out to change that.

The design makes cooking transparent—literally. A 270° heat-resistant glass window wraps around the chamber, letting you watch food crisp and brown from almost any angle. No more opening, peeking, or guessing. At the same time, the entire cooking chamber pulls out for thorough cleaning—no hidden grease traps or awkward corners—and goes right into the dishwasher.

For control, the design blends smart and tactile: a responsive touch panel and voice commands for digital natives, plus mechanical knobs and buttons for those who prefer physical feedback. The black-silver finish feels professional, not plasticky. The generous interior fits a whole family meal in one batch, while high-velocity air uses up to 85% less oil than deep frying.

The result is an appliance that doesn't hide its process—it invites you to watch, trust, and enjoy.
