Q: At what temperature does the grill of the TOSHIBA MW3-AC26SFI operate?

The TOSHIBA MW3-AC26SFI does not have a fixed temperature for the grill in solo mode. The grill operates at a power of 900-1000 W . However, when you use the grill in combination with convection (which is the case for most cooking programs of this device), the available temperature is 240°C . The available temperature ranges in convection mode are: 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230, and 240°C. For example, the “Crispy Grill” menu offers an option “Grill 60% + Conv. 240°C”, combining the grill and convection at this maximum temperature. This is the standard operation to optimize cooking with this versatile device.

Q: How to use the air fryer function to cook chicken thighs?

The Toshiba MW3-AC26SFI has an air fryer function with 9 preset menus. Although chicken thighs are not included in the pre-designed menus, you can adapt the function using the H-6 (Escalope) menu as a reference, which offers similar settings for chicken pieces: Grill 60% + Convection 240°C for a weight of 400g . Procedure for cooking chicken thighs in the air fryer: Press the Function button and turn to H-6 (Escalope). Press OK/Confirm to validate the menu. Check the displayed weight: the standard menu is 400g. If your thighs weigh less, you can slightly reduce the cooking time afterwards. Press START to begin cooking. At the sound signal (usually halfway through the time), turn the thighs for even cooking. Check the cooking: the thighs should be well browned and crispy on the outside, with a core cooked to 75°C. Important: Always use the baking tray and the grill provided, placing the tray on the grill. Do not use the rotating tray as it is not suitable for the air fryer function. The thighs should not overlap to allow optimal air circulation. If your thighs are thicker, you can also test the Convection 220-240°C mode manually for more flexibility. Start with 20-25 minutes and check the cooking, adjusting the time according to weight and thickness in subsequent uses.
