Just a quick comment on flipping the shrimp or other food. If your not using all the racks at the same time, put one on top of the food then just flip it over. Much faster, if it doesn't stick. By the way after watching you I think I may get one. Thanks for your time.

for the game hens you cooked, here is a little tip: if you put a layer of salt on the foil under the hen it should absorb the drippins and keep them from splattering

I have to say you made me smile tonight. I am 75 years old and I can’t say how long it’s been since I heard someone call it tin foil.

James, Thanks for doing these videos! I bought this air fryer and have used it twice. I was gonna return it because I didn't feel it gave me a good enough reason to keep it in my 1930's kitchen. Space being a premium EVERYTHING in my kitchen must perform well and have multiple uses. To that end I watched both of your videos on this subject and I've decided to keep it and follow your example. Oh and by the way, I agree with you it's not an air fryer it's a convection oven. Thank you again for showing me there is more to this gem then meets the eye. :)

I keep thinking of how great this would be for a dorm, so you can actually eat "real" food once in a while, not just garbage from the cafeteria!

Thank you I bought mine a week ago and learned it's trial and Error time, I got the 8 qt so 5 lb chickens were very easy I haven't used my basket yet but you showed how and today I'll use it, I have cooker dinner for two weeks now and My WIFE LOVES our Air Fryer!! Today I'll cook RIBS wish me luck !! See YA

Yes I did a pizza. With a sharp knife you can cut the 12" frozen pizza (yes, while frozen) into quarters, I can fit 2 quarters on the tray, cooked in 7 min. Since I like my crust softer, hubby like it crisper, I put my pieces directly in the drip pan, got a nice soft crust. Did hubby's on a higher rack, his was crisper, and a bit more done. We both thought it was better than oven baked. Just did a large chicken breast on the rotisseri. (not the little frozen skinless pieces) I deboned it, seasoned, then tied it like you would tie up a roast so it was somewhat compact. Put it on the rotisserie skewer and let it go about 30 min, till it temped 160. Perfect, moist, tender, juicy. We don't really care about eating the skin, but I did leave it on to help keep it moist. I was even able to pour a little water into the drip tray to loosen up the drippings, carefully pour into another pan to make a sauce. (thats a bit tricky but can be done). It was wonderful, so much better than oven roasted. Since getting this I pretty much haven't used my oven.

I was able to do a 5 lb chicken, I had to truss it to the point it might explode, but i did have about 1cm of clearance and it came out perfect. They make perforated parchment that works great for canned biscuits or doughy things. I made 6 chicken quarter legs last night, 290 degrees F for 60 min and they came out similar to my smoker chicken ( minus the smoke )

As you know, I subbed to your channel just 2 days ago, and this, by far, is the best of the dozen or so video sequences I've watched. I'm learning to trust your good judgement and wisdom more and more. Buying one of those "contraptions" would fit well within my cooking fantasies, (little time, want to bake something at the same time I'm making dinner, or just want to "set-it, forget-it", (with your wise warnings and/or adjustments and as I gain experience). You're about the most honest and thorough reviewer I've ever found on KZfaq. You buy lots of "gadgets" I'd never try or ever need, but your cooking ones really show how you shine as an impartial reviewer. Thanks so much for all the effort, time, energy, video and editing skills you put into each and every one of these. I'll even be looking at your "gadgets" I'd never buy, just to boost your view and ratings numbers and have some fun watching you! One question: as a skilled musician, do you have any "gadgets" (e.g. metronomes, tuning devices, electronic instruments, keyboards etc.) the you have reviewed or might consider reviewing, (even if they are NOT "as shown on TV" kind of items)? Happy holiday season to you and yours.

Your intro where another *you* comes out and announces *Part 2* and then you nod heads together is delightful. And, uh-oh - I expect nothing less, it is your nature. You creative freak! ;)

I think it is good you went back to review this after having a chance to play with it a bit. Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out the little tips and tricks to make something work. As a single person, I would definitely consider using something like this to bake in the summer. Ya, I like to minimize my oven usage during that time.

I rarely subscribe anymore and found this on accident. I am hooked! I was just shopping for a new pillow, to go with my new bed, and boom, found the best reviews for products I wondered about.

I would really like to see a part 3 update video.

Hi, when using one rack and have to flip, just take the second rack and cover the food and flip.

For chicken/game hens and even small ham ... try using the rotisserie basket ... works great ... even heating and constant turning it over and over instead of having to flip it on racks. I do suggest: 1) don't over pack it 2) use the whole chicken and/or ham (other meats also) and 3) Do NOT use an excessively fatty meat in the basket. BTW I have purchased ( and not purchased) many items because of your reviews. Thank-you and ... Please, keep up the good work!

Hey, fellow Las Vegan here. just found your channel. Great stuff! I've had a Power Air Fryer XL for about a year and use it almost daily. I didn't know they made this oven. Looks like the quality and results are about the same. Thanks for the double review on this one.

I bought the Power Air fryer oven on black Friday. Had in box for two weeks, decided to take out and read manual and cook books. Try fried cod fish, didn't like it at all! Like you top shelf came out the best. Decided to search You tube and found you. Watched both videos and because of you, decided to keep oven and keep trying it. You gave lots of great tips. PS I got mine for $129.99!! It was on sale and used 20% coupon.

I did cookies in mine yesterday in my Cast Iron pan that fit in the Airfryer oven. Everything was even. Cast Iron holds even heat

Glad you're liking it. I haven't used that brand but the air fryers I have are used 3-4 times a week. Thanks for the follow up review😃

We just got one as a gift for 2018 Christmas was a bit bummed now after watching your 2 videos seems like it may be WAY better than we thought. THANKYOU for all the effort you put into the videos.

Mine came with 2 oven mitts. They’ll keep you from getting burned! They do have parchment paper with wholes that might work. I use them under chicken. Thank you for your videos.

I knew I recognized you, you're the dude from the Matrix who wanted back in and made a deal with agent Smith. ❤😊

Just got this air fryer as a gift and decided to see what you tube videos on it I could find. So grateful to come across your videos! Very detailed and comprehensive! Thank you!!

I bought one myself. I enjoyed using this every chance cooked. Great review!

Excellent Video... Your Filming and Editing is Fantastic...

Great video Thank you for your reviews

I have roasted a 6 pound chicken in my Power Air Fryer. I followed the directions and the book said 75 minutes, but it only took 50 minutes. The skin was nice and crispy, and the meat was done and juicy. Have done a whole chicken several times with the same results. Love my machine!

Thanks for showing how versatile the air fryer oven is!! Excited to show my son what he has at his place!!!

Thank you for making this video! I was wondering do you know how to change the light bulb in the air fry? My light went out. You have so much knowledge of all the products. Keep making such awesome video's.

Hi,James. "Hydralight. The flashlight the runs on water!" Really? Do you think it really works? It's pricey, but it might be worth testing, or worth a comparison with other flashlights. We'd enjoy your report.

I think I want one of these. Love the rotisserie feature. Your review was superb!

Thank you for the videos. I have enjoyed using an air fryer so I decided to move up to the oven. It's on it's way to me in the mail. For the frozen french fries, try spraying them with a bit of oil for crispness, the parchment paper was a mistake with the cookies it impeded the air flow. Parchment paper was generally recommended for conventional ovens to keep the cookie bottoms from burning, burnt bottoms should not be an issue with circulating air. On the infomercial I thought that he did two whole chickens together side by side there might be a way to do this with two skewers. I love your shrimp recipe (thanks) . An easy way to flip those is to use two racks. The cooking spray is a great suggestion. The thing about cooking with air is that most real food comes out juicier and less oil is used so its healthier. I don't eat too much frozen food. One recipe I loved in the air fryer was country style spare ribs they come out nice and juicy and taste a lot like pork roast. What about baked potatoes I love oven baked potatoes, microwave is not the same another great thing about air cooking is that you are not radiating your food like you do in a microwave. Thanks again, I'd love to see more.

How bout popcorn in the basket? Gotta ask....lol

Okay love your reviews, came across your video in researching air fryers especially after getting caught up in the Power Air Fryer Oven infomercial (yours was the most comprehensive) and post cancelling my order with QVC for the Cook Essentials 5.3QT air fryer. My friends think that I am totally insane because it is just me, yet I cook Like for 8 folk at a time (curse of growing up in a semi large family). Yet cooking is a passion, burden and curse) #Foodie4Life. I am looking forward to a number of your videos bringing me into the air fryer community. I would like for you to do an updated review of the Power Air Fryer Oven, in particular 1- clean up, 2- accessories/usage (ie casseroles, etc), 3 - do another fried chicken vid and maybe fried fish, 4 - Use of the dehydrator function, and 5- more rotisserie recipes. Sorry for long message, thanks for the videos and guidance in advance!!! SexyDL

I bought my Air Fryer a couple of months ago, I used it once, now watching your video, I will use it more, thank you. The book I have did not give me times, it says temps. I now have an idea on times, that makes it more useful.

Thanks for the reviews. My sister found the Power Air Fryer Pro Elite for me back in January. It was on sale for $35. I never used it because when I opened the box and saw all the accessories, a C.D. and a Cook Book, I just assumed it would be a hassle. Today I decided to use it for the 1st time. Came to KZfaq for some quick instructions and found your video. Threw some Hashbrowns in there and they turned out pretty good. My husband enjoyed them. I WILL be using my Air Fryer often. By the way you look like Shemar Moore. 👍

Part 3 video ? YES PLEASE ! Suggestions- blooming onion, small roast, baked potatoes. Love your vids, thanks for sharing !Brad, Spokane Wa.

I’d like to suggest a possible review. I’m seeing commercials for this Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi-Cooker but no real good reviews.

Just got the exact same oven and I wanted to get some idea about how good it was before I cracked the seal on the box. Your unbiased review has reassured me that I have made a good choice and I am looking forward to using it. It would be nice to see your comments on the fried chicken knowledge you have gained.

Just found your channel yesterday and you're really cool man. Very objective clean reviews of things. Extremely refreshing considering everybody doing reviews always try to sensationalize them.

Did you try the power air-fryer as a dehydrator after the tomatoes? If so, did you try to make jerky?

Can you please tell me if this is a 6 quart or an 8 quart oven. Thanks! :)

The best wings I have ever had! I just dredge them in seasoned flour. Shake off the excess. Spary rack, spray the wings or brush with oil 400 for 40 min. Bam! Everyone comes to my place for wings ;)

Thanks for the update on the air fryer James!! Happy thanksgiving!

How was the crust on the pizza. I have found it to be soggy and top over cooked.

Nice Review, after looking and looking I finally decided to get the power air fryer xl . tomorrow at sams club. Then I saw your videos and not sure again,,. thanks. and I sub :) do you like this better?

I have used a version of this, where you pull out a drawer with a perforated basket inset. I use it about 3 times a week to cook dinner for two. Fish, chicken (makes the best fried chicken!), hamburgers and several other things. It works great. The only advantage I can see that it has over the "Power AirFryer", you can pull the drawer & basket out, throw them in the dishwasher and then put them back in ready for the next lot. No other cleaning required. I even did some home made yeast rolls in it...and yup, good. The size, however, is limited...it is a larger drawer, not a small one. It is a 4 liter 'Secura" brand. Your reviews are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I really like your videos. Thank you for taking requests and trying a variety of foods. I have the Power XL fryer and LOVE IT! I was so impressed that I took a chance on the oven hoping I could get the same/better results with fewer batches. So far, I have not been impressed with the oven, but your videos have inspired me to give it a second chance. I will stay tuned to your channel to see if there are family friendly foods to try that my kids may eat:)

Damn, now I want some tater tots.

Try a steak please and maybe a blooming onion

I watched both of these videos, and because of your review, I'm off to buy one this Saturday morning. Thanks!

Thanks again for the review for part 2. I was amazing.

I’m only commenting on here cause I wanted you to see this and figured since this is your latest video you might read it. I wanted to let you know that we aren’t getting all your uploads in the sub feed. Obviously I’ve been a fan for a long time now but I just watched 2 of your vids that are older but I had never seen before. I just wanted you to have a heads up.

Is your machine the 6 quart or the 8 quart size?

James props on how detailed you are in your reviews (appreciate the specifics)... I’d like to see Part 3 Power Air Fryer Oven for more Dehydrated foods (I.E. Jerky, Yogurt, Tamari Garlic Almonds, Maple Cinnamon Pecans for ideas)... I’d also like to know what the low end temperature is for dehydrating foods... Thanks again for great job!

Hi James. Watched your Power Air Fryer Videos 1 & 2. I just returned mine to BB&B. It was too much work to rotate racks, clean inside of oven after splatters, doesn't brown food evenly. There is no preheat button, Rotissori accessory is complicated. I put 2 cornish hens on Rotissori, they cooked but didn't brown evenly and it took 10-15 minutes just to get them on properly. Very messy to clean up, when rotating, stuff is falling on countertop or floor, you have to be very very careful that your racks are perfectly within the slots or it will fall. Anyways, I'm sure some people will like it, it just wasn't for me. I have the larger Nuwave Airfryer and love it. Fits enough food for family of 3. Thanks for the video, I'll be watching more. I like that you explain everything in detail.

Can you try to make beef jerky?

You gotta get dat salmon out before the albumen starts forming on the outside :( that's a sure sign of overcooking.

I just did a 3.84lb rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. I do agree with you that it's not always easy to find a small chicken but I found 2 and did the first one as a test.

That Salmon and Shrimp looks awesome!! Very cool little fryer!

How about a steak? Cupcakes? Eggs? Meatloaf? Bread? Grilled cheese? Pork roast?

Damn, now I want tater tots :/

Thanks for the review bud. Love your vlogs. Keep up the great content.

Awsome! Thank you for the great tips n review! I just ordered one today so it's nice to have these videos to watch n learn from! I have a regular air fryer that I love to use but it's so small that I can only fry a little bit of food at once so I am so excited to try this!! Thanks again!

If advertiser whole chicken and you did a cornish hen, then its way to small. I think you saved me a lot of money.

Not impressed, will continue to use my toaster oven. Has he tested those convection microwave ovens? Those look interesting and there's not too many videos on those.

I don't really understand the thumbs down you got. I watched several of these Air/Fryer Oven reviews and liked yours the best by far.

Been watching so many reviews but yours is the best!

I don't understand the point of this over a regular old conventional oven, or a toaster oven...

This thing breaks after a few uses lol company is trash. Purely a money grab. Get a Philips.

I've had the air fryer elite for 3 months. I love it for french fries. Learning to make blooming onion!! I have used it more than 70 times. Low calorie fried food is great!

I like the way he keeps the video moving with just what we want to see and not a lot of extra talking====great job of reviewing.

I think my husband got me one for Christmas, so your video was really helpful.

Seriously you’re my new best friend😂you’re cracking me up. I am a As Seen on TV Freak too. The Flipwhich is a hoot to play with, but it works🤣

Thanks for the review, I’m getting one for Christmas🎅🏼

Just a notice for cleaning this brand air fryer: There is an upper mesh tray to protect the top element in the air fryer. To remove and clean, there is an upside down forward metal handle to pull on to take it out. Soak in hot water as you do for the food mesh trays, clean with brush, and slide back into place with upside down metal handle pull in the front. We have the newer Power Airfryer oven Elite. The oven door opens sideways. There is an oven metal vented box type of basket. I appreciated the demonstration. Is there anything you would want to try? We do our french fries on the metal tray, placed in the middle of the oven, and they do get crispy. We also do a chicken at 375 degrees in the metal vented basket @ 30 mins each side (flipped over). The handle to pull out the basket is awful and will not hold the weight. We use oven mitts to extract the basket.

Thanks for the great video and all the work you put into it. It has helped me decide which air fryer to buy.

I use mine all the time and I love it!! The nice thing is it's portable and you can bring it anywhere, and aren't confined to the kitchen.

Hi James! Just found your channel and subscribed!! Loving your thorough reviews of the products you try.. Keep up the awesome work!

@Freakin' Reviews Thank you SO much for your review of this appliance - the Power AirFryer!! My husband bought the Power AirFryer Pro over a year ago and neither of us had/have ever used it up until now! My husband has since passed away, my one son is here with me (45) and he is very anxious to try it but I bet he won't be too anxious about cleaning up the mess later!(lol). Your great review has *sold* me on it and I'll be trying quite few items made in mine! Your Cornish Hens look so delish I was almost drooling! Ha!

Thanks James.for your time and cooking. You are a smart Pro. Job well done.

Oh and wanted to let you know that I did make Chestnuts in the basket over Christmas...cut a small slice in them so they would not explode,put the temp at 370 and ran the oven for 15-17 mins and they came out perfect...better then the oven or stove top and having to turn them and finding some burnt....Fantastic!!!!!

We had a convection oven a long time ago it recommended using a lower temperature than a regular oven. Also, rotate the cookies halfway through. Part 3, show the bottom of the food. How the bottom of pizza and cookies looks is just as important as the top.

Got the Power Air Fryer about a month ago. Like many I was not sure how it would work being another one of those “As Seen On Tv” products. Right out of the box after cleaning the unit I had decided to cook some fries. They came out tasting just like the big name fast food restaurants. Nice and crispy and not soggy. Since then I’ve used this machine almost everyday. I particularly love how it makes grill cheese sandwiches. Bread nice and crunchy and cheese melted perfectly. I had also gone to a fish and chips restaurant and had brought home a couple fish sandwich that I didn’t finish. The next day I took them out of the fridge and of course just as expected it was a soggy mess. Before I would pop them in the micro and they would come out hot but no crunch. So I thought I would put them in the Air Fryer Oven to see what a difference it would make. Much to my surprise they came out nice and crispy and hot. I read one review where a woman said she and her husband used there’s almost everyday I can see now what she was talking about. I love the way the door comes off in order to pull things out of the unit. As other reviews state it is a little tricky getting that top rack out without burning yourself. Just as with anything a few trials and errors and you figure out how to handle pulling the racks out. It’s a very easy clean as well. I would like to see a little larger pan in the bottom to catch the drippings but again no biggy there. I did put the aluminum foil on the bottom of the drip tray as some others had suggested. I do find it a little small or at least the one I have is. This is not something I would suggest using with a large family. I can see where you might spend a little more time than you want getting everything cooked. I live in a household of just two and it’s perfect for that. So with all being said after a month using it I would have no problem giving this guy a 5/5. Now this guy has become my favorite appliance in my house.

James: It was your earlier review that put the Air Fryer Oven over the top for me. I bought one last year and have used it on and off. You're right in that it's more of an oven. I think it may be more like a mini convection oven then anything else. The capacity is much more then other so called "air-fryers", but it does take a certain amount of "skill" to use one to it's potential. There are hot spots, like a grill, but the oven over all is great. Clean up is a breeze not only for the drip pan but the racks as well. Warm soapy water and a brush, even the toughest cleans up. The interior walls easily wiped down. What I find confusing is the lack of information found on store product. Take tator tots. The bag has recommendations for oven, deep frying and/or stove top but no air-fry. I've found no product in the stores that have air fry recommendations. It's always hit and miss for me. I do love my air fryer though.

Loved the game hen idea for this little gadget

Took a coffee cake recipe from youtube, made my own streusal topping(Betty Crocker) and air fried it in a disposable pie pan. Turned out great. A comment on the cookies. There are available fitted parchment sheets with holes in them to allow the air flow.

I love this guys work it helps me to make very good choices on what I buy now a days compared to when I’d buy it all.

James, not sure if you did this or not but when flipping, just put an empty rack on top of the filled one and turn it over, that will flip them. Insert new rack into a slot. This way you do not have to turn each piece.

Thank you for these videos! I’ve been debating on whether to buy one of these are not. You were very helpful. I’d love to see more use of the dehydrating function. For like carrot or sweet potato chips.

My husband has been wanting a rotisserie forever this would be so much better. Plus we have access to small full size chickens here in Detroit at E&L Super Mercado

I never thought I would want one of these but you make it look worth getting.Thanks for sharing this.

good thorough reviews, very helpful!

I bought a different brand today, (in Australia we get new things years later) and enjoyed your suggestions, great for a single person. Keep up the good work.

Just found your channel and like your approach to reviewing items. Good solid content. Good job.

Thank you my friend just got hers. Hoping to set it up tomorrow, i watched this so I can let her know how well it works.

One of the reasons I love your videos no fluff right to the point, u make me loving my air fryer

I enjjoy your reviews. I like the amount of detail and tips. I have one of these and like it for summer, don't have to heat the house. I also like the fact I can do smaller amounts, handy for a single or two person meal.

Thanks , bought mine for me for Christmas, all looks great,,, God Bless u for putting your videos on here,,,

I just got my Air fryer and the first thing I cooked in it was a chuck eye roast. I marinated it in coke and some salt, pepper, garlic pepper. I just put it on the rack and cooked it for 20 minutes at 400 it was a little to red for me so I put it back in for 15 more minutes. It was the best roast I have every fixed. It was crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. I reheated it in the microwave the next day and it was just as good. Thank you for your videos they gave me a better understanding on how to use the Air Fryer. I am going to try chicken next.
