hey, did you try anything else in it like chicken wings, or fries?

@@kinzafarooqi218 Hi, I use daily for lots of things. I've cooked salmon, steaks, shrimp. It really does a great job.

I just got mine for Christmas but can’t find many recipes. What do you mean by the grill needs to be in place during the pre-heat? What if the grill? I’m so excited to use mine! I been wanting one for a while now!

@@winter_wolf1111 search it in You Tube. Lana Under pressure has some great tips and recipes on her channel and blog.

The best results I got was from searing a frozen steak 90 seconds both sides and then air frying it for 15 minutes (turning over half way)

Thank for this additional info and personal experience with this appliance. I find it very helpful.

Exactly! I have cooked steaks in air fryers. Just pre-heat them for like 10 mins and then you will get a sear. Maybe not a perfect one but still good enough.

She is a terrible reviewer. Wish they would get rid of her.

Izaak Fukuyama she’s not really that great. I’m not a fan. And will not be subscribing. She comes off as really snoody and I can’t get with that vibe

I agree! She went in with a negative attitude. 👎🏻

And she doesn't know the company name is 'Instant Brands', not 'Instant Pot'. Major mistakes like that make the whole video meaningless.

There are two kinds of people, those who are here to see an excellent chef cooking in a new ways and those who are here to spot and mention mistakes in the brand names, lol.

negative or HONEST? the low temp was a concern of mine as well. SHUT UP KAREN

@@dablakkadaberry3596 SHUT UP DEBBY!!

@@pushbackorlaydown i think your mother is the only one who cares

She decided to be critical from the start. Not helpful.

@@aliceElle257 it is a review. You have to be critical to do an honest review. Funny how when a male reviewer gets critical of a product people will say "im glad you're so honest" but when its a woman....

seriously! It looks amazing! :D

You wouldn't say so if you saw her other vids.

@@HN-gj2iq I mean they have the product too and don't have the issue so it is user error or a malfunctioning unit.

I just got mine too and feel she she at the least did not give it a fair shake. Each of the things she made I would have done differently so I would say more user error than the fryer tbh. Fries I feel are better in the trays tbh but the basket I'm sure has some nice uses. Steak DEFINITELY turns out better if you actually preheat like the instructions say lol Would she throw a steak on a grill or skillet before lighting them then make a face at it after 2 min? o.O

Thank You, I didn't even watch it.

Agreed she complaining about nothing… I love my and she didn’t follow instructions they say preheat

A

seemed like she made the slices super thin too

She never read the directions, and used any recipes ! Very unfair review!

they even got the nerfed juicers right

Cant unseen it now, its a good look on her

now I see why she looks similar

Yeah she looks great in that fit

This might be the sexiest thing in the world...

I stumbled here while comparing this and the vortex plus (and already had the vortex in my online shopping cart). Thanks!

Huh? Practice with a conventional oven for a professional chef get bent boomer.

🤣🎯

maybe she's a feminist.. we all know feminists are never wrong lol

@@valsotto27 I don't understand what women's rights have to do with air fryers

@@lungse.2565 They both belong in the kitchen

@@theesithari6162 I don't get it pls explain

😂

Yeh that definitely didint seem worth it lul I make jerky in mine though and love it. 160 for 2 hours and its done.

😂

chucky chuck I just got one for Christmas and I’m so excited to use mine! So do I subtract 25 degrees from anything I cool?

It's very easy to clean, takes less than 5 minutes start to finish

I am the dishwasher lol and it's super easy. Messes wipe right off with a sponge or cloth. I did a chicken in the basket and expected a big mess in the unit, but I hardly saw any splatter on the sides. The drip tray can be covered with foil but I find that to be wasteful. The basket can be cleaned with a vegetable brush. I soak mine first.

the trays are dishwasher safe per manual, and the front door comes off.

I told my dad to use Palmolive soap mixed with hot water in a spray bottle. Spray the inside and wipe off with sponge (green side). Works great and cleans very easily.

Yea , She’s trippin . I’ve cooked a bunch of stuff with an air fryer and it was good .

Me too!!

I just bought mine today. I think she wanted to sound as If she is a pro in air fryer products. She sounded negative about it from the start. I’ll never watch her vids again.

Thanks for the tips. Can you explain the reason to put them on cold water?

@@ABab-jf2jb Blanches the starch from the potato. Believe McDonalds uses a very similar process but in sugar water.

@@i_i8924 Thanks so much for replying.

Thanks!

True and if blanch them and then air fry them they turn out fluffy inside and then air fryer will make them crispy.

Also she put one of the apple trays at the TOP rack, instead of the middle/bottom rack. I mean what did you expect putting apple chips right below the circulation fan.

Exactly to BOTH of these comments. She read the instructions about not preheating for the basket... I guess it says that honestly I havent used basket yet so havent botherd reading about it. BUT clearly did not read about preheating for literally everything else x.x Especially a steak good grief then compalins about no sear. I'm sure she does great on most gadgets but feel like she didn't click with how to use this thing. I got mine last week and am loving it. Also have not put a tray on top for anything, the apple chips had me cracking up lol. They may be a special case so not sure how I would make them though, but both trays on bottom for sure. Have used dehydrator for jerky though, and have to say I'm never buying store bought again.

Exactly my thoughts. I have this oven and I am in love with it! My family’s getting them and my friends. That’s how much I brag about air fryer cooking! 👍🏽👍🏽 Btw, did she say she had a restaurant? I’m surprised she wouldn’t know to “preheat” the oven for the broiler function, just like you would do at home, before you put anything in it! Duh! 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@elevate32767 😄 might been blooper video. If I saw it flying I would said let's move them down a bit

I have a cook's essentials also I love mine

It's obviously sized for 1 or 2 people, so I don't think capacity is a real issue. I've never seen a large air fryer, so the "fries for one" isn't a real complaint. If you're the type that dehydrates a lot of fruit, you'd get a specialty device. If you just don't want to heat up an oven, especially in the summer and want better chicken than a toaster oven would give you, this is perfect.

And who doesn't seer their steak before they broil them you seer it then put it in simple

I have a duplex in a Brown Stone, I cooked wings and fries, with my back door open. And the fumes omitted from this air fyer was still so overwhelming. I wonder how come not one reviewer talks about those toxic smelling fumes. I felt so sick inhaling whatever that was this thing is giving off. My home smelt like burning tires afterwards. The wings were delicious but, i don't know if this is worth it.

If you have a small apartment, get an instant pot with the crisper lid. It’s far more functional and you only need space for 1 device

@@babuyadav2336, this is good advice. My son moved into a studio apartment (with no stove/oven), so I am here looking at fryer ovens for him. He does have an instant pot, but not the crisper lid. I didn't even think about the crisper lids.

And? She didnt pay for it. Sit yo ass down

@@rudystraight1750 ok, that was uncalled for.

@LilStampBug Very uncalled for! You were the bigger person and responded with more grace and class than they did you.

@@LilStampBug nahh it was pretty called for. I phoned it in

Ya it is kinda 🙄

its under your tummy, yknow where your feet used to be!

Yeah, it was a pretty obvious screw-up. You'd think she would have saw that, and tried it again with it lower and film that. That would have been genuinely useful. But no, she left the User Error take in. Same with putting the steak in cold.

I saw other videos and they say you're supposed to soak the homemade variety for 20 minutes, then pat dry, mix with a bit of oil. I wonder if that would have helped with the outcome.

Sue Marie You soak the fries in water for 10 minutes before cooking and they come out perfect. And you can put more in the basket than she did. The main thing she failed to get across was with everything she cooked, it was done using much less fat than other methods. One of the main reasons for using an air fryer. I can again enjoy fries with out deep fat frying them. Rotisserie chicken is awesome!

@@edwardamarante2688 I've done homemade fries and store bought to compare and mine were just as good. I did soak, pat dry and add oil. I'm not great getting even cuts by hand so I bought the Starfrit PumpNSlice and am impressed with it. I hope it does as good a job on hard cheese and pepperoni like it shows on the commercial. I've also done sweet potatoes like the homemade fries. Saving lots of money that way. I was actually surprised at how much can fit in the basket. I didn't even come close to filling it a 1/4 of the way. WIN WIN

@@edwardamarante2688 hmm it seems like she is a horrible reviewer then, if she is going to review something and wont even read the instructions b4 using it...shouldn't be reviewing

Westielover that was 1.5 potatoes for a family? Instant pot isn’t a cult right? Or you got paid?

do you love the oven as wel. it does the EXACT SAME THING :) Set temp to 400?... a fan pushes the hot air around. Flip food halfway through cooking. How is an oven different????? What kinda "fryer" has you flip your food???? XD

it's hard for you to tell, cause they way they cut videos; spazz editing... it reminds me of those as seen on tv ads that came on late at night, where they'd show some idiot unable to stack tuberware for an hour to try and get you to buy an overpriced rack for your tuberware. she did one for instapot, didn't explain anything and the lcd was unreadable the whole time basically, so i assumed she was trying to sell me on going to a restaurant. the massive thumbs basically confirms it.

why would she need to when shes doing a paid review

Well terribly designed products are hard to make look good.

WildDisease she’s a professional chef, so hold your opinion of instant pot aside and pay attention, it’s a band wagon piece of crap like it original instant pot, it’s just good enough to make consumers think they bought something of quality, but it’s just plastic garbage with a pot inside, this pice of crap is a GIANT counter top convention oven that does nothing. Better then the rest of them, except the rotisserie thing.

I couldn't have said it better.

get one love mine

What air dryer are you referring to I'm trying to find a good rotisere

Oversalted.

@@diannt9583 they are delicious though and as long as your balancing your diet, healthy enough. The bigger issue with Costco chicken is it's a chore. Costco's arent usually close, always packed, always checkout lines, you either go to buy a few things or not at all.

I got that chicken once and it was all pink on the inside. Gross

Catchows I doubt it

Sous vide your breas

only scenario i could see keeping this. i have an oven and it does everything i see this do. i can even get a non stick fryer bascet for the oven for 5$ i used mine for a couple things now and dont see a difference. fries are the same.

She can air fry me!

She seems like she knows a lot, just not about how to use an air frier

I assume you pre-heat. She puts it in cold. It's like putting french fries in cold fryer oil and expecting them to turn out properly.

I have one also, and this machine is a beast. I get what she’s trying to do, review it as what regular people would try to use it as. However, we love ours and I simply don’t agree with the review.

Does anyone know what size chicken was cooked in this video

Would rather buy a vertical rotisserie grill. Then u can get rotisserie chicken. Homemade gyros. Kebab. Etc. Its around the same price.

It is definitely worth it I’ve only used my oven once for cookie/brownies I don’t have the accessories as soon as I do though no more oven

I'd really think of this as a toaster oven that can do chicken and sort of do a few other things.

I own one and love mine. It keeps my apartment cool

mine works well

J L that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard the potato is made from starch, if you meant dry off the liquid on the surface you’d have a point but you didn’t. And liquid would make it soggy not dry, still don’t know what you were trying to say.

Maxing out at 400F you can only get light roast out of it. A bigger problem would be that coffee smokes a lot when roasted and I'm not sure trapping the smoke with the coffee is too good.

Do you use the 2 lower racks? Do they still fly like hers did? I'd love to try apples.

Yeah I noticed allot of cooking reviews are coming at it like a Michelin chef perspective instead of like a home chef that has no cooking degree under their belt. kitchen gadgets like this is for people that want something to be done by presets and timers if you have the skill or knowledge to use the actual oven we wouldn't be looking for these gadgets!

@KingInTheNorth except slow cooker

But the full phrase is "jack of all trades but master of none is often better than a master of one"...

Nigel learned that the hard way when I replaced my slow cooker with an instant pot. I hate it.

@@nathan42100 which is true here. The owner of a really, really small apartment is gonna like this thing.

Paul Smith 😂😂😂

Definitely not worth the high cost!

@@heliaalves9062 That's what Dehydrators are for.

😂

@@czellner00 not for 6 hours.....

Yeah indeed.

Haha yep kinda what I need. My son (8) and daughter (9) loves chicken being able make a whole chicken would save me some sanity 😄

Initially? I found her very irritating , snotty, and I found myself rolling my eyes at her review. I hope they get a more pleasant and positive person to replace her.

Whoa BoltShippudden you deserve your own tv show!!
