Instead of a deep basket, the Typhur Dome 2 uses a flat 5.6-quart cooking surface heated from both top and bottom, designed to cook wings, steaks and fries up to 30% faster with less flipping than a standard single-heater basket.

What it does well
The dual-heating, flat-basket approach genuinely targets a real limitation of deep baskets: uneven browning on flat foods that need flipping partway through. Typhur states this cuts flipping and speeds cooking by up to 30%. The self-cleaning top cavity and 51dB quiet operation are useful everyday conveniences.
Where it falls short
At 2.36 inches of interior height, it’s built for flat, single-layer foods — tall items like a whole roast won’t fit the way they would in a deep basket.

Buy it if / Skip it if
Buy it if you cook a lot of flat, single-layer foods and want faster, more even results with less flipping.
Skip it if you regularly cook tall or bulky items — a standard deep basket fits those better.
Frequently asked questions
Does the flat design actually cook faster, or is that just marketing? Typhur attributes the speed gain to the dual top-and-bottom heating reaching food from both sides at once, rather than relying on convection alone from one direction — this is the manufacturer’s claim, not our independent lab measurement.
How often should I run the self-cleaning cycle? Typhur recommends activating it about once a month via the app, depending on use.
Is 51dB actually quiet? It’s in the range of normal conversation, notably quieter than many high-power air fryer fans.
Final verdict
For cooks who prioritize flat, single-layer foods — wings, steaks, fries, pizza — the Dome 2’s dual-heated design delivers a genuinely different, faster approach than a standard basket.
