I used my airfyer option for the first time tonight. I staggered two baking sheets on separate racks. I also purchased the frigidaire airfryer rack. I set my setting to 350 for 20 minutes. I had 15 wings, Seasoned well and 5 in each row. I had my vent from my above microwave on and at about 15 minutes I got a little smoke. I immediately turned the airfryer off. Removed the wings and two baking sheets. I wiped the sheets with a damp cloth and put it all back for another 5 minutes. They came out perfect! No smoke, no mess. You just have to watch your temperature. Oh I added a little water in my baking sheets (dampness only).
genius idea to add the water on the trays. I’m going to try that. I have not had oven long, but set off smoke akarm twice. First was nornal oven setting cooking a half a butternut squash with a little olive oil drizzle. Second time was tonight, air fry mode sweet potato fries with very light coconut oil spritz. opened the oven door and plumes of smoke poured out filling the air just like this video.
i would just get a roll (the large, long roll) of reynolds heavy duty aluminum foil and tear off a piece that will cover as much of the rack as possible (underneath); you should be able to cover pretty much the whole rack and i wouldn't even use a pan under the foil. just turn the edges of the foil up about 1/4" - 1/2" all the way around.
I have been making my own foil trays for 20 years. If you use a baking sheet, at some point, when it gets harder or colder, it Intends to warp abruptly and splashes grease everywhere.
I have one and it does the same thing with whatever I air fry. I found that if you can keep water in the pan that your drippings are going into it, eliminates 90% of the smoke.
1. Self clean day before air-frying 2. use a drip pan with a layer of water. will prevent hot grease burning on the drip pan. Or use parchment lined tray 3. use high smoke point oils
A few things would help here I think. A vented hood would be outstanding. Steaming, boiling or cooking at a lower temp initially to render off fat, and avoid fat getting on anything inside the oven.
I have the Maytag Air fry oven and the same thing happened to me. I got through it by adding a tiny amount of water to the drip pan underneath. And when it evaporated I added a little more. I think if you let it be steamy in there it will defeat the purpose of air frying so I only put a little water. It still made my oven a mess though. I'm really not sure the airfryer feature was worth it honestly.
Had lots of smoke everywhere with my Samsung oven air fry too! I had a very large tray underneath. I think I’m going to pre boil them first. Frozen fries are fine.
I have the Gas Air Fry Convection and did 3 lbs of Drummettes last night and did not have an issue. I love mine, contact Frigidaire - I know the first time I cooked wings or drumsticks I did notice by cooking them at 300 Air Fry for 12 minutes and then raising the temp to 425 for the last 10 minutes no smoke and they came out awesome...
That looks more like your tray was bigger than your catch pan; especially if you have grease droppings hitting the bottom of the stove. I don't think it was the stove.
I could have made this commercial. The very same thing happened to me. Smoke alarms in entire house went off. Just got the stove last week and this was the first time air frying wings. The smoke was awful. The cleanup of the oven was really hard. Tried the steam clean. Didn’t work well. Almost afraid to use it again. Love the stove, but, this is what attracted me to purchase this range. Hope I can find a cure.
What do you expect? It has nothing to do with the oven it is the chicken fat splattering all over the oven. A strong exhaust fan hood that vents outside is a must.
Need a bigger tray. Try lining it with parchment (not wax paper). Opening the oven constantly will keep it from cooking efficiently. I think they ought to put catalytic converters in ranges. I had an induction range by Kenmore, manufactured by Electrolux and it has a catalytic converter feature. The downside is that it can be filling with smoke and I wouldn’t know it until I open the oven. Anyone else wish they wouldn’t put windows in ovens? They never look good after you use the oven.
Grease dripping onto hot steel will smoke every time. The convection would make it worse, that’s how you know it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. Alton Brown recommend steaming wings before air frying to render off some of the fat ahead of time. Most importantly though, replace the microwave with a real vented hood. The results your hoping for will probably involve smoke. You’ve just got to move it
I bought this same oven. I used the regular oven setting to do meatloaf. N I guess there was a very small piece of plastic n omg smoke to b hell. I'm scared to use it again lol I have seen people trying to clean it with the steam cleaner n it don't work ... Way to much money spent for these issues
I have this problem when I use the air fry function for my oven too. Short of putting in a real exhaust hood for the oven, I don't know what will solve it. I've used all the other oven functionality with no issues, but turning on the air fry always causes this issue. It's disappointing because I absolutely love the oven except for this.
I tried steaks for the first time and it smoked very badly, had to open windows even with the exhaust hood fan running on HI vented to the exterior. I'll try self-cleaning then air-frying again see if that helps with all the smoke.
I also have this problem, my stove is only 5 months old and i used the air fryer twice and both times it smoked. I love my stove but when using the air fryer its messy and leaves my house smokey. Its a 👎 for me.
Same! I'll never use mine again. I have an exhaust fan and ran it on high. It made NO difference. Frustrating! I'm sticking with my counter top Cosori to air fry
The vent, blows towards your face, It does not go straight up,the way it's supposed to. It comes out at a huge angle, no where near the exhaust fan. Poor design
I'm glad to hear yours is working better. Had mine for a month and still smoke fills my house. Stove is perfectly clean, doesnt matter what I'm air frying.
This happens every time to me as well. So lame after all that money I spent.. Wish I would have picked another brand. Clearly they do not have the engineering figured out prior to resale.
I just used this oven to air fry chicken drumsticks. Exact same oven, same fry tray, same drip pan setup. This was my first time air frying anything so I didn't know what to expect. 8 drumsticks at 400 deg for 20 minutes. The smoke was crazy! I had every window open and every fan blowing. Luckily it's a beautiful day. I just let it go for the entire 20 minute cook time. After it cooled, I did the clean up. Substantial drips on the bottom and splatter on every side. I made the mistake of putting the fry tray right on top of the burners to cool. Had to clean those too. I'm going to get a bigger drip tray just for this, but I'm hoping after a self clean the problem will minimize as yours has. Perhaps there's a protective coating from the manufacturer that has to burn off or something. At any rate, this oven is amazing! My old oven took half an hour to preheat and this beast does it in a minute or two. I've never seen another oven like it. So many great features. I just hope it gives me 15 years of good service like my old one. Oh, and the drumsticks were the best I've ever made!
Mine did the same cooking wings, the house filled with smoke to the point where windows had to be opened. The overhead vent didn't come close to handling the amount of smoke.
I am replacing my old Frigidaire Flair Custom Imperial Electric Range Oven........ with the oven on top, it is a 1960's model. I had to finally get rid of it because I could no longer buy electric burners but it has been in my family for almost 60 years. I asked the guy if I would get that same lifetime out of my new Frigidaire almost like this one but all electric and he just laughed at me. My parents paid over $1000.00 for the one I am replacing from the 60's and it was well worth the money.........not so sure about this one.
It looks like you have an over-the-range microwave above your range. They have fans that should draw the smoke out to the exhaust pipe venting to the outdoors or if you have no exhaust pipe it would be set to recirculating and just try to filter any smoke. Are you using this?
just curious if you have tried parchment paper instead of foil on the lower grease pan? we are looking into this type but don't need the smoke issue if the vent can't keep up with it.
I tried parchment paper and it began burning around the edges. :(. swapped it out for foil. Still had plenty of smoke, more smoke than my exhaust hood could handle.
It’s important to heat your oven on self clean before you use it. And cover the bottom tray completely when frying. The oven needs to be absolutely clean
@@videogamesandmore6948 had mine few weeks and it just started the smoking problem I'm going to clean it and see if it stops is yours still working fine
@904 GEO. I recommend using the self clean feature. It is simple and effortless! Be sure to remove your racks before starting and be sure to open your windows as the oven will get extremely hot to burn everything down into a ash that can be easily wiped away when the cycle is complete.
Everytime we've tried to use our airfry setting on our Frigidaire, this happens. The last time, my smoke alarm went off 3 times. I just decided I was done with trying. And for those who say exhaust fan. Of course I had that going the whole time. It's just crap engineering.
I have actually stopped air frying super greasy food like chicken wings because the fan sucks in the grease and it burns on the heating element causing tons of smoke. Nowadays, I only air fry frozen food like French Fries and Tator Tots and I have no smoke whatsoever!
