The steak it cooked is just perfect, better than you can get from any restaurant
I've never owned an air fryer up until just recently and I use this thing so much!
It saves so much time and it does an extremely great job at Steaks and more. I love to throw flank Steaks in and prep tacos. I would highly, Highly! Recommend buying this.
So on the kind of person to watch & read hundreds of reviews of a product before buying it, and ignoring most of them being paid or affiliate, I was still fairly convinced this would be a good purchase, but not an amazing one. Man, do I stand corrected.
The very first time I ever used this product, I cooked one of the biggest choice grade ribeyes I have made that I got from my local meat market. I properly seasoned it and coated it in butter as per instructed. Then finally I let it cook. Sure it took quite a long time to cook fully, and I did pop it back in for another minute on broil after flipping it, but if it wasn’t the most amazing steak I’ve ever tasted at home, I don’t know what it was.
Never would I think making a steak in a glorified air fryer would taste this good. It cooked it to a perfect medium rare as I instructed it to in the app before sending the recipe to the machine, and it was still so juicy after all that time cooking.
Besides that amazing first meal, the thing is built extremely high-quality, made almost completely of metal and some very high-quality plastic so it looks really nice on my counter. It is a little big for having such a small frying bin, but that doesn’t subtract from the functionality if you’re able to understand that I can’t cook for an amazing amount of people usually. I’d say one to two people is a good range for how many people it can cook for.
Weirdly enough, the screen is not a touchscreen, but that’s fine since the buttons are pretty easy to understand. I will notice that some of the product pictures in the manual do look different than the ones that you get with the product, like the grilling rack for the steak is this metallic metal piece, but on the images in the manual, and sometimes the app seem to depict a thicker, black piece.
Overall, I think this combination device has been an amazing purchase so far, allowing me to cook things with little intervention, as well as being able to cook things like side dishes, while my main course can cook on its own, or vice versa! A handy little gadget I don’t see getting rid of anytime soon… I just hope they add more recipes on the app! (Like maybe more basic things such as fries or chicken tenders).
My wife asked for this for a Christmas present and she's used it every day since. What's great about it is how versatile it is. From baking, air fry, sous vide, etc, there are so many cooking options, and they all perform very well. Cleaning is also much easier than it is with our Ninja air fryer. Unfortunately, ours quit heating after just shy of a year. Thankfully, I checked and it was still under warranty so I reached out to support. Tina, from Dreo's support quickly responded, and resolved our issue by shipping a replacement unit out. Great product backed by great service! Highly recommend the Dreo ChefMaker if you're looking to upgrade your kitchen options!
I hope this saves some time for you! ?
After my previous air fryer got recalled because of a fire hazard, I decided to upgrade. It had been 3 years since the last upgrade, and I did a lot of research before buying the Dreo. I was a bit hesitant about the price, but I’m glad I did.
Wow, this little appliance is a kitchen superhero! It can cook proteins to perfection, and it can handle even the most complex tasks. The app recipes are top-notch and super easy for any level cook. ??
The machine is quiet and doesn’t get too hot, which is a plus. If there was a “commercial grade” unit from Dreo, I would easily pay $500+ for it.
I’m giving this 4 stars because it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn close. We’ll have to see if the app support survives as long as the appliance does.
