On paper, the specs look great, but real kitchens demand reliability and simple clean-up. The Smeg Airfry9 Air Fryer Tray measures 3.7 x 31.5 x 34.5 cm, standing about the thickness of a pack of butter with a shoebox-like footprint. Slip it into a Smeg 90cm oven and expect crisp, browned chips with noticeably less oil.
⚡ At a Glance
- • Crisping Performance: Crisps chips, vegetables and battered fish while using far less oil than shallow frying
- • Top contender for: Home cooks with Smeg 90cm ovens who want lower-fat frying without sacrificing texture
- • Potential hurdles: Batch cooks and meal preppers; the 3.7 cm depth and 31.5 x 34.5 cm surface restrict single-load capacity, forcing multiple cycles for large portions
Oven-safe, non-stick airfryer tray designed for Smeg 90cm ovens. Dishwasher-proof and made in Italy with a two-year manufacturer warranty.
Unlocking lower-fat crisping with non-stick, oven-safe construction
Non-stick finish and oven-safe metal let hot air contact all surfaces for rapid browning and crisp edges. The raised profile encourages airflow beneath food, delivering roasted textures without deep frying.
Crisp results appear without pouring oil over food, reducing surface greasiness while keeping a golden finish. Trade-off: shallow depth limits batch size, so households cooking for many will run successive cycles rather than a single large cook.
Cleaner after-cooks – Dishwasher-proof non-stick finish
Dishwasher-proof construction removes stuck-on crumbs and batter residue in one cycle, saving manual scrubbing after a busy meal. A quick hand rinse clears loose crumbs before loading for faster cleaning.
If quick tidy-up between courses is essential, the dishwasher-safe finish speeds turnaround and reduces downtime in the kitchen. Regular handwashing with a soft cloth will preserve the non-stick surface longer than repeated machine cycles.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the tray fit non-Smeg ovens?
A: Designed specifically for Smeg 90cm ovens, compatibility with other makes depends on internal shelf width and depth, so measure the oven cavity against 31.5 x 34.5 cm before buying. Pro-tip: verify that rack positions allow stable placement and enough clearance above the tray for airflow.
Q: How should I clean and protect the non-stick coating?
A: Dishwasher-proof construction allows machine cleaning, but handwashing with a soft cloth preserves the coating for longer. Pro-tip: avoid abrasive pads and strong chemical cleaners to reduce surface wear.
Q: Can it handle wet batter like for battered fish?
A: The description lists battered fish among suitable foods, and the elevated surface keeps pieces out of pooled oil while promoting browning. Pro-tip: leave space between items and turn them partway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
