Reader contribution

9 foods on this site have no figure for the T17088

The table stops where its sources stop: nothing on file says anything about bacon, baked potato or burgers in this machine. If you've cooked one of them in yours and know what works, that measurement exists nowhere else — it can't be looked up, derived or generated, only cooked.

Fill one of these gaps

Takes about a minute — this appliance arrives already selected, and only the temperature and the time are required. Nothing publishes straight away: every submission is moderated first.

What these specs mean against the other 37 models on file

Power and size. At 2600 W, the T17088 ranks 2 of 38 for power on this site, where the median is 1700 W and the corpus runs from 900 W to 3040 W. Its 9 L sits above the 6.8 L median, and 6 other models here share its dual basket layout. Those two figures are how the calculator narrows down a machine for someone who doesn't know their model code. Neither is a cook time on its own, and nothing on this site converts one wattage into another.

What the dial reaches. ~392 °F is this model's ceiling — 25 of 38 on this site, where the lowest ceiling on file is ~392 °F and the highest ~480 °F. 3 foods on this site carry a reference temperature above it — fish sticks (frozen, breaded) at ~399 °F, mozzarella sticks (frozen, breaded) at ~399 °F, onion rings (frozen, battered) at ~399 °F — so those figures were written for machines that can be set higher than this one goes. Nothing here rescales one temperature into another, so they do not simply transfer.

Long or short against everyone else. Most foods in the table above also appear in other manufacturers' manuals. Lined up against them, this model's published times land 7 inside the band the other charts cover, 1 shorter than anything else published, and 1 longer.

Frozen Fries — Thin Cut — 12–16 min at ~392 °F here, against 16–31 min across 27 other charts from 12 brands. This one is the shortest of them.
Frozen Pizza — 20 min at ~356 °F here, against 7–13.5 min across 7 other charts from 3 brands. This one is the longest of them.

None of those is wrong, and none is corrected here. Each is what that manufacturer prints for its own machine; how far apart they get is the subject of the register of disagreements, and what the dual basket format contributes to it is set out separately.
