Purchased the Big Boss in 2016 and I LOVE IT. It has assisted me in my lost of over 150 pounds and still eating FOOD THAT TASTE GREAT! No more pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, and creeping high blood pressure AND THE CUTEST CLOTHES EVER!
@@lg8354 I had one but not this brand. But aside from the brand name on it, it was identical. It lasted just about a year. But I should mention I used it almost every day, sometimes twice a day. Still... one should expect more than a year.
You don't use the wire mesh basket for large pieces like chicken, those go directly on either the low or high rack.The mesh basket is for small items like french fries that would slip between the bars on the rack.
i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can give me
@Ronin Graysen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi folks. i'll tell you, me & my husband bought one of these babies bout a month ago. it was one one of the BEST things we invested in for our home. it works great & OMG! it cooks the food to taste sooooo great! it doesnt dry out meat as it cooks, it cooks fries perfect... i can keep going, We just want to tell anyone who are thinking of getting one of these... it's WELL WORTH the money!
I live in Central Texas, It's December and supposed to in the 70's today. That being said, I asked my husband to buy me one of these for the holidays. We love to bake foods rather actually deep fry. However due the weather patterns here turning on the oven makes our house so HOT! I'm hoping that this little baby will help us keep baking our foods with out baking us...
I am a soooo glad I watched this video. Our halogen cooker just arrived and I didn't know that circular metal is an extender! I would have just used it as part of the stand. Thank you.
I just opened it cleaned the Bowl and I cut my Asparagus and Squash and seasoned them placed them in a Corning dish. My salmon steaks on on the low Rack above. Smells good
We've got our Big Boss more than 5 years ago at an outlet and we use it frequently. Love it. We notice that the price has gone down. Back then we paid $99. There is only one thing that we don't like about it and that is the timer. Once you set the timer, you can't adjust it by turning the knob counterclockwise. Make sure you set the right time. If you don't, stay with it to interrupt the cooking as needed. But ours is more than 5 years old. Maybe the newer models have been improved in that respect. By the way, we have an air frier which we do not use because it is cumbersome. There are other similar to the Big Boss but they are plastic. We prefer glass. Besides, we like to see what's going on with the food as it cooks. Happy frying!
I think the mesh basket is only supposed to be used for french fries or small things like small vegetables such as broccoli or things that would fall through the provided racks. I don't know I've never used this item but based on experience with similar items I'm guessing the most basket is only supposed to be used for french fries or other small items like stated.
It will cook up to a SIXTEEN pound turkey with the ring. Tried and true here, you WILL have to flip the bird halfway through I suggest putting the unit on the floor and sitting in a chair to flip the bird again I figured this out for you.
Why do you have to turn the fries over? Isn't the whole point of convection cooking is the circulation and cooking evenly from all sides? And you obviously have an air gap all around the food. I don't get it.
Although this cooker does a pretty good job of evenly cooking, gravity still pulls the juices towards the bottom. if you didn't turn them they would be dry on top and possibly a bit mushy on the bottom.
@@fkdova2058 That's exactly what happens with my ProFryer. I just flip it and it's fantastic. Someone just gave me one of these Big Boss, but I love my ProFryer!!! I like the fact the Big Boss has no nonstick stuff in it. I may try it....but I don't know.
You should do a review on it! If you know this tip, I know you have more to share! I didn't think of this because I'm always thinking about conventional cooking in the oven to get the same healthy outcome.
Got this to replace the microwave and make good fries for the kids. Tomorrow is the first run and that chicken looks good, yo! Thanks for the tutorial!
@@netizenpros , electricity is more expensive … so cost of watts and time is a factor here. This gadget is too big, 16-Quarts, smaller would cut down on time and watts usage. So Omar is not wrong here.
I had the 90s version of this looks almost exact it worked perfect it cooked everything without oil the only problem is the glass bowl would get searing hot But as far as the cooker it was awesome till I dropped it and broke it
Great thorough review ! Thanks. I just bought this and its better than any coated non stick air fryer. Just use the mesh for small items next time 😅 and the chicken directly on wrack or other big pieces of meat
My manual says it can cook a turkey up too 16 pounds but in another section it says a 6 pound turkey. I’ve seen people cooking a 14 pound one no problem.
I see a lot of people talking about how long it is taking but the point is that is No Oil. You do not need to turn the fries over. Not sure why she did that. I have this oven with the extender ring. The fries are amazing.
My mother has this in her kitchen.. we just used it once and my mum didn't like it.. it's been sitting in our kitchen since 3 years.... my mum has like 30 to 40 cooking machines (all of them are over 400 bucks) she would just use it once and put it in the cupboard..
My air fryer appears to function normally but I am disappointed. I thought the circulating heat was supposed to allow even cooking on all sides. If I have to stop the fryer and turn over the food what have I gained? And if reducing oil is the main benefit why not just cook in a nonstick skillet on the stovetop?
Top layer, top crust, top... Cook foods in other appliances Finishing-move for some items with this (concept of reheating pizza from top-down rather than bottom-up)
Just got my Big Boss Air fryer. I was excited to try it. I followed the manual to cook Tilapia from frozen for 16 min at 400 degrees. Its been more than an hour and the tilapia is pink. Any ideas why this is not working?
you have to learn that everything you cook needs a spritzer of oil -Pam. the thicker the breading the more oil is required. Even skinless chicken requires oil or it sticks to the grates. my first convection type was back in 2005. I learned the thicker the coating the less chance you have to making it crisp.
@@DOCTORJAN714 this is so much the better option...added oil is NOT needed just something to stop the sticking (although I have never really experienced much sticking when the device is used correctly🤷🏼♀️)
I wouldn't get this because I can do a better job on a much larger pan in the oven for the same amount of time. I guess this isn't for me. Thank you for the review! I needed this information to make a decision!
I’m here because I’m planning to buy turbo broiler (thinking less-oil and super fast cooking) but now I’m hesitating. Maybe I’d stick to non-stick pan and just figure out how to combat splashing oil 😀 Thank you for showing this video, maybe it’s not for the likes of me to use/buy turbo broiler.
I recently bought a Big Boss oil Less Fryer and wanted to use it for the first time, however the fan does not work. What would be the reason and can it be fixed?
Had the same problem where the fan doesn’t work, only thing I bought it a year ago and only took it out of the box and I’ve already thrown out the receipt. Now I’m stuck with a useless air fryer. Bummed
So its basically like the nuwave oven only heavier, doesnt have digital and has halogen , infrared and convection instead of conduction, infrared and convection..
I've had two, they sent me a replacement lid when the bulb burned out. You can buy a replacement bulb, but removing the fan nut on a used unit is impossible. There is a perforated guard over the bulb, but splatter from food can still reach the bulb and cause it to fail.
The healthy aspect is good, however, this unit seems dangerous. The unit is too hot to be handling as frequently as you need to in order to ensure thoroughly cooked food. Still, the reviewer did a good job!
It's not dangerous if one exercises normal kitchen appropriate safety.....not sure what kind of acrobatics happen in your kitchen but this is NOT a dangerous appliance 🤦🏼♀️🙄
How come no one cooks other things on the other racks while meat is cooking etc? Isn’t that the purpose to cook multiple items at the same time if u want to ? 🤔
Is it difficult to remove the turke after cooked? Not a lor of space on the sides of the glass bowl imagine you would have to stab it with a fork and lift it out and hope ir does not fall😱
Miss Lady I thank you so much for showing us your true opinion about this item you actually told the truth about the fries without spraying it it'll be not so tasty and the chicken you don't have to spread cuz the chicken already juice in the inside girl we thank you so much this is not my real page that I'm talking to you on our Real Page is Burton gang
Great review! For a family, it looks like a waste to cook fries. It might be worth cooking meat in, but seeing as you can't make a whole meal in it, I think I will pass.
I think this would be great for a single person or someone in college. They could make an entire meal in one of these for one person only. It is a waste of money for a family. :)
This is a very informative video. However, it strikes me as strange that the racks shouldn't be air dried. Isn't this an Air Fryer of sorts. How is air drying harmful to the racks, I am confused on that. Otherwise, this was super helpful to show how to use this fryer.
This type of air fryers were invented years ago,I remember when I was a kid they had one of these at home , the new air fryers just were redesigned to have a removable basket.
