"juciest ever"?

Looked about as juicy as the induction cooker with a little water and a controlled temperature selected for not drying out the meat a bit below the boiling point of water. The idea of moderating cooking temperatures with water is a good one... that I use with induction cooking.

@@lethaleefox6017 no it probably is quite "juicy", but the thumbnail spells it "juciest"!

You keep saying "atomized water." I assume this oven isn't actually breaking water down into individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms because that would be dangerous and unhelpful, so what exactly do you mean by atomized water? Because it sounds like it's just steam injection but the company wants to pretend it's doing something new.

​@@michaeloffner8515an atomizer is what sprays a fine mist of something, like on a perfume bottle

well I wouldn't expect a lot from streak cooked without a pan or grill. can't really get good crust with air

I don't know if you say that as a little joke, but personally I find it to be a very clever way of doing the sponsorship properly but giving us good advise. Adam had no need of showing us the steak bit of the video. He does it because why not and then follows with a different thing completely, just after saying to us that if something is bad he wouldn't say anything but he wouldn't lie either. That part of the video is there probably just to inform us that the devide does not cook steak specially well.

He also said the chicken was 'juicy', but never said if it was good.

@@def4dawg That is entirely up to how you season your food. There's nothing great about any chicken that just has salt and pepper.

@@mlseg5143 I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. Searing is just getting a lot of heat to the meat surface quickly. If this is done by direct contact to hot iron, transmitted via hot oil, and/or delivered by hot air, doesn't make much of a difference. If the machine can heat the air enough, possibly some oil wrapping of the steak itself, this might turn out to be great!

Totes m'goats. Established companies that already have revenue using Kickstarter are at best desperate for marketing and at worst outsourcing R&D and growth investment through the public. It's sketchy enough if the seller is just some dude with a neat invention. It's even sketchier coming from a corporation marketing what they think is their next hit product.

@@BravoCharleses Yeah. It's like large videogame publishers releasing games in early access.

There is a big difference between a company developing and manufacturing their very first product and a company who’s been around for a while and has been selling their products like air fryers for years. The odds are much higher this oven will actually get produced.

@@lonestarr1490satisfactory could be one of the best games ever and it’s in early access. The difference is the company running the early access.

@@BravoCharleseshow is this “sketchier” than a single person “company” that’s never brought a product to market before? Peak Design used crowdfunding for a whole bunch of their products none of them sketchy. I’ve seen this oven in a bunch of cooking channels and after doing some research on the company I don’t see any red flags. I would have donated if I didn’t buy the Anova oven.

Sad oven breast on the right

Is he jumping on the KZfaq bandwagon of say the “*whatever* of it all” ? Lol

Vinegar leg is on the right Why i season my board, not my steak Mirror universe and Long live the empire Tabeltop convection oven Anything else i miss?

@@Bayollbrits call it a “blank”

​@@Bayoll Summon forth the upside-down bear. Heterogeneity!

Wait, they created overcooked chicken breasts? lmao

he's not going to risk losing customers to describing the danger of getting what is essentially an early-access appliance. Honestly it's probably for the best for Adam (financially) to do a kickstarter sponsor now, because the website and archetype is so old that most won't realize what they might get and how they'll be stuck with it. Although I find it infinitely hilarious he cares so much about talking around "air fryer" because it's "deceptive", but openly says blatantly untrue information about this product.

@@toilet_cleaner_mant’s sure easy to call something “blatantly untrue” without describing it. He said nothing untrue about the product and it’s not an “early access” product. It’s an exercise in marketing by a company that’s been in business for years and have brought many products to market including air fryers. There is always risk associated with kickstarter, but this could be one of the top least likely to fail.

Well the pledge goal has been met on kickstarter, so technically, yes it will be pre-order

It depends. There are two kinds of kickstarters. Those that need the funds for product development and start with just a concept or some prototypes and those that are an established business basically using kickstarter for marketing and pre orders. This looks like the latter and the risk for those is pretty low. Assuming they aren't just lying the lead time on this is short enough that product development has to already be finished.

Since they have a working product they are willing to ship to third party and let them use it unsupervised, I'd say there is limited risk they don't deliver. They can definitely make the thing, even if they can't make enough by the date they promised shipping.

No, that would have to be his mother.

Oh, the irony.

He gave other reasons for his avoidance of the term. It's rude to reduce someone else's argument to a single point and then mock them for it.

​@@pendlera2959it's a good thing that person wasn't arguing with adam, or even mocking him, for that matter. It was just a joke, simmer down

It is because that is the name of the product, not a description of what it is. They appear to describe it as a "combi fryer". Probably would struggle to get a VW in it though

They make and sell other air fryers this isn’t the first version of the first product they are trying to bring to market.

countertop combi ovens aren't new. I first saw one about 2 years ago, and I don't keep an especially close eye on new cooking appliances.

Anova has been making their Precision Oven (which is a countertop combi oven) for around 3 years. Check it out, I have one! Love the fuck out of it.

@@k03hl3rgreat product. It also regularly goes on pretty good sales. Worth waiting for if possible.

@@k03hl3r This costs half as much. Its $259 in the link. Its is a kickstarter project but its seems to be ready to go.

It has been for quite a while as a niche within the ultra expensive built-in ovens. Wolf, for example, makes nice ones, but they run $5000+. Similar top end brands also have them in that form factor for similar prices. Anova and some others have also been doing countertop models for a few years but those are intrinsically a tradeoff in many ways as all countertop ovens and stoves are. Anova seems to be the best countertop implementation currently in the stream of commerce, but that has a very different form factor than the Dreo being a full countertop oven rather than a large air fryer.

Dreo’s fan is top notch also, not the pole one but the smaller one

How is atomizer misleading? Did you look the word up on Google? It’s spraying water into the cooking chamber. Steam is the gas form of water while atomized water is still water and not a gas. How do people just assume they know what something means when they’ve likely never heard the word before?

@@robertp457 The word atomizer is misleading because it doesn't split the water into atoms, simple as that. And don't try to argue with the ancient Greek definition of atom being the smallest part of something, I'm talking about atoms in modern scientific usage. Now, I know the word atomizer is used differently from what it would be if taken literally. But that is exactly the point, so is air fryer.

Actually it does break it down into atoms. An atom is just a small amount of something.

@_xeere that is one definition of atom. But your response is basically laying out my point, this is the exact type of ambiguity that I was allowing for in my "jk..." addendum - for instance, doesn't the common colloquial use of "fry" in this context give it the same leeway as these two different definitions of "atom" which allow it to be called an "atomizer"?

@@DirkDjently Obviously. It's an air-fryer because it fries using air as the heat transfer medium instead of oil. It would be silly to say either of those things aren't what they are.

@@_xeere The original meaning of atom is a thing that cannot be devided into parts. The irony of course being that the atomic theory was conclusively accepted in the scientific community after it was discovered that atoms consist of multiple parts.

@_xeere ok so what are you complaining about then? Lol It seems like you're just trying to argue about something that isn't what I was saying, by responding with something that doesn't meet your own necessary etymological standards.

Yes if it IS a "little piece of chicken". No if it's bigger and will take an hour or so. This is due to traditional ovens having insulation so once they're up to temp they use less energy to stay at that temp. Also if this thing uses atomised water then it's going to use even more energy to overcome the inherent cooling from that.

@@Shaun.Stephens Atomized water, not atomized air.

@@PaulaBean D'oh! You're right. M'bad, I'll edit it.

It would have been more transparent to put AD in the title

Notably though, a lot of sponsored videos for this product _dont_ disclose the sponsorship, from channels which normally do. Makes me think they're pushing people to not disclose sponsorships but Adam fought back on that

@@Magmafrost13 I wouldn’t blame the product I would blame the creators who don’t disclose. They have more to gain by that notably ad revenue from KZfaq

@@Ryan-The-Grifter the first words he says are literally "THIS IS AN AD", you can just stop watching then if you don't want such ad.

Unless you've got more than 6, you'd be surprised how much food you can cook in one of those things. SortedFood did a sponsored video with them where they did a BUNCH of stuff.

@somefreshbread there's 5 of us but 2 of them are huge eaters. Of course they are also the thinnest... just crazy fast metabolism. My friends are always shocked at how much food they consume. 😂

@@rumbleinthekitchen_Amy I miss being young, too. Now I feel like even adding cream to my coffee adds 2 pounds to the scale.

Ironically, it has too big a footprint for me in my motor home kitchenette.

@@somefreshbread Then don't add cream to you coffee! Good coffee is never bitter and thus does not require cream. (Or sugar, for that matter, because good coffee is also never sour.)

I once said *i****er and a crowd almost beat me to death

then rubs meat juice all over the thermo probe wire while touching it with the clean hand, lol

Air fryer being a fat phobic term was a bit of a stretch. Lol

or you can just call them toaster ovens which is effectively what they are

@@jojivlogs_4255 not really, because colloquially people have a different perception of a toaster oven to an air fryer. You can be annoying about it and correct people but it still wouldn't even be correct, a toaster oven generally does not have convection while an airfryer does.

@@ststst981 fine, toaster oven with a little fan. better? either way, my point is that people probably have appliances in their home that already do what an air fryer does. standalone air fryers are often not worth the money

It's a tabletop convection oven and yes they are a type of toaster oven. @@ststst981

There is a difference between a company paying to have someone do a review and a company giving a product to someone for free to do with as they please. A video that’s sponsored has to be announced in the video. A video where the company just supplied a product isn’t a sponsored video.

@@robertp457 good thing Im specifically talking about sponsored videos then

​@@robertp457 this is wrong, by the way. Getting a free product as an influencer is considered payment under US law. If a content creator got this for free and decided to make a video on it, they are legally required to disclose that and mark the video as sponsored even if the company didn't give them any money and only gave them the product.

How do you know they didn't just buy the product themselves for the purpose of making content? It wasn't too expensive during the fundraising process.

@@robertp457 getting a free 300 dollar air fryer and then saying you arent sponsored is so disingenuous

^ this!!! these companies are never held accountable if they don't deliver anything

There are very few kickstarters from already established companies that aren’t successful. Most of the unsuccessful crowdfunding campaigns are from people who’ve never brought a product to market before. It’s a lot more time consuming and expensive than most people realize which is why I don’t crowdfund anything from a startup or from anyone who’s never brought a good product to market before. This isn’t a startup company and they’ve been in business for many years and have been making air fryers in a similar form factor already.

@@robertp457 That’s good to hear.

@@robertp457 If they're so well established, why the need for a kickstarter? People need to understand that the company has no liability. Your money is not any safer than with a backyard engineer who wants to take some hairbrained invention to market. And people have lost money in the past and the companies haven't coughed up the money even when putting out a similar product later.

​@@sntslilhlpr6601 This way they can gauge interest in the product before committing to mass production. This is getting more common than you might realize. If you look at the kickstarter yourself you would realize that this is fully guaranteed and warrantied for 30 months(12 months if you do not register the product). You would also have been able to read the updates that they have completed the 1st round of mass production and are doing quality control before shipping units(USA and Canada). This campaign is much safer than the umm backyard engineer - your money is safer because they will not take your payment until the campaign is over and they get your shipping details. The appliance is already completed and passed US/Canadian regulations.. They are still pending their UK certifications before going into production in the UK I get KickStater has had issue with some kickstarters in the past, but you can not and should not lump them all in together. What you get for being an early adopter is a discount on the suggested retail price they plan on going with. You also get one before others that will have to wait for production runs and distribution. You have to also consider the fact that Adam does not do sponsor ads for products that he ends up not liking. He said this in the video. Everyone (like myself included) can also just wait until it has been released and is out in the wild before deciding to buy this - if you were ever even considering buying such a appliance (which I am lol)

Why was selling ovens apart of the high-school curriculum in oaklahoma? 😂

@@mikehiebert6227 the short version of it is that it was the teacher’s other job and our school had a program set up to where that could be exploited for college credits thousands of dollars in college scholarships.

Strongly agree with this. Also, the tiny compact space of a "tabletop convection oven" means you have a LOT more air moving in relation to the size of the food. A traditional American convection oven has a small (in relation) fan in the back of the unit, whereas the air fryer is like 40% fan by volume. This results in far crispier food far faster (even without adding oil yourself) than you get in a traditional convection oven.

So it's still a convection oven.

Per the thumbnail, "the *juciest* chicken breast"

Why i season my cow cutting blade and not her neck after I've cut it off

As someone who has backed many Kickstarter projects, NONE of them have ever delivered on time. Despite the delivery times they have listed on the site, it still may not deliver in time for Christmas.

even if they were, is that a bad thing? Being unhealthy is an objectively bad thing for a person's continued survival and their overall happiness, is providing an aide to an issue a bad thing nowadays?

I paid a hefty 599, but the Anova steam oven can do sous vide without the bag. I put two baking sheets worth of chicken breasts in the oven and they come out super juicy every time.

You could, but the loaves would be a bit on the small side. Thought I don’t know if you can cook above 100c with steam in this device.

But that thing is like nearly quadruple the price

It’s not similar to the Anova at all. The Anova oven injects steam into the oven while this device sprays a fine mist of water into the cooking chamber.

@robertp457 I said functionaly similar not technically similar :) . They both can produce sous vide like results because of extreme temperature control, allowing minimal banding in meats.

Depends. A lot of ovens do, but most cheaper models don't.

They aren’t.

i still think it's overhyped, but it uses far less energy than a conventional oven and for single-serving meals, it's excellent. Most are cooking for less than 5 people regularly, so an oven but smaller with a lower power draw is a huge boon. Love cooking in an air fryer.

I used to think the same thing. Then I got one for the hell of it and I love it. Was looking at getting a second one for capacity. Bought one of these...........

It does look different though 🤷🏼‍♂️ Not hating on it but the Ninja Foodi grills have been around for a good while. I have 2 of the XL models and have had them over 2 years. Big fan.

3:01 he said you can pick whatever temperature you want.

It could be possible and just not shown here. Might warrant some research.

You don't have to rely on presets and you don't even need to use the app
