Air fryers are a cooking device that came onto the scene in the late 2000s. In 2007, Tefal, the French cookware and kitchen appliance company better known by their brand “T-Fal”, released the first compact convection oven known as the “Actifry”.
The last 15 years have seen air fryers evolve from their predecessors, some having a 1960s retro style, others being a mere fry basket to a “Swiss Army knife” of a cooking machine. So this Merry Trucker Christmas, have a look at some amazing air fryers for your trucker, both for function and the benefits of having healthier cooking options available to them.
We can’t talk about the original without showing it to you – T-Fal Actifry
The one that started it all. Tefal came up with this beauty back when the convection oven craze hit the ovens at home. Who knew adding a fan to circulate the hot air would make such a difference in your cooking?
Actifry is the same concept, but in a countertop package. It even has a stirring paddle inside the pan to move around the food to help get even cooking with no burn spots.
You can order the Actifry Original for your loved one out on the road by following this link over to Amazon.
Looking for something in a retro style with a splash of color? – Galanz Retro
Galanz is a brand name in air frying you’re going to hear a lot from me. They are one of the best brands in the business and have a suite of fryers for all situations.
These offerings from Walmart.com have a hip splash of design and color. At 700 watts, these units are not too hard on the truck’s electrical system. We do recommend having the engine or generator when running any high draw device.
Let me introduce you to the king of the air fryers for truckers! – Galanz 3-in-1 0.9 cu. ft.
It air fries! It bakes! It microwaves! It grills! If you own a Freightliner, this mean cooking machine fits perfectly into that microwave cubby.
I personally owned one of the Galanz 0.9 cf while I had my 2018 Cascadia. Never had an issue with it overtaxing the electrical system as long as I had either the engine or the TriPac running.
Everything came out cooked to perfection, even the 12 oz. ribeye I broiled as a test. And the best part is the cost is excellent, so grab one at Walmart.com while the holiday sales are on. Or take the chance and see if there is an inventory purge at the end of the fiscal year, you never know.
None of these fit your truck? Well, I got a solution for that too!
Every truck’s bunk is different, so finding the right size and shape to fit the cutout can be a pain. So to help alleviate the pain of searching, Back The Truck Up came up with a list of common sizes needed to fit the truck of your choice.
