The Next Major Step In Air Fryers is Here…. 

Hey everyone, I hear and appreciate all the feedback. This video was sponsored by Dreo and I set out to give you the most honest review I could. I should have mentioned the sponsorship upfront in the video to create more transparency. -Mike G

PSA FOR EVERYONE: This is just a Kickstarter. You are not "pre-ordering" this product. Your favorite youtubers do not just happen to love this product. The company that makes it is paying foodtubers large amounts of money to make full-on infomercials. As a Kickstarter, if you invest in the product's campaign thinking it's a pre-order, then there is absolutely no guarantee as to when you will get the product and very limited legal recourse for any issues it may have

in germany, every sponsored video needs a disclaimer in the corner for the whole sponsor segment to indicate that its sponsored. I think the US should require that as well.

Love the channel (and the other 17 who have shilled this thing), but FTC disclosure rules aren't what they used to be.

I think you should know that it's RU-vid policy that you have to mention the sponsor in the video. You can't just put it in the description or in a pinned comment. It needs to be in the video itself. When you mention it in the video and you tag it as a sponsor in the upload (which you are required to do if there's a sponsor) It then shows underneath the video that this video contains product placement or sponsor. Your video currently doesn't do that and is very misleading, especially if someone's not reading the description or the comments.

Cooking RU-vid really just became an Shopping Channel for Kitchen Gadgets

Can we please stop calling EVERYTHING “AI” when it’s just not? Such marketing BS

These are just ads for a Kickstarter that multiple RU-vid channels are being sponsored by.

“That is a pretty serious crust..” 10:38. My brother in Christ its grey.

dreo is now the raid shadow legends of cooking youtube

I've been a big fan of your channel for a few years now and generally love and trust your advice! But you gotta put it right up front in the video that it's a paid ad. I don't think it's enough to mention it in a pinned comment.

Even as a backer, I feel you really should label this as a paid ad.

Listening to him hype it up as it clearly does a subpar job is insane.

Did not expect a video like this from this channel. Very disappointed you didn't mention in the video that you've been sponsored by the makers of the air fryer.

This channel was so much better back in the scrappy apartment days.

Okay, I need to say this, and in no way do I want to question the actual capabilities and performance of the device: AI in this case is just a marketing thing like when people tried to blockchain everything without any actual need. There are, at first glance, only temperature, ventilation, humidity and time involved and those are pretty straightforward curves to follow. Training an AI model for it seems unnecessary overkill, and I'd be surprised if it has an actual impact. But as long as it works, it's fine, especially since the device itself seems to be pretty good.

For cauliflower (and broccoli) if you only cut the flower itself it will grow two or three additional heads on that same plant. So you can have a secondary and maybe even tertiary blooming.

I knew there was something up when he said AI 10 times in the first 2 minutes.

Things I like 1. Oven light for a basket style air fryer 2. Multi selection quick settings 3. steam option 4. cycled stages for temp 5. Can go over 400* for searing Things I would like to see improved is capacity size. I like large air fryers that are big enough to hold 4 drumsticks comfortably.

Teflon container is straight up a deal killer

Wow a single, bang average looking steak in just thirty minutes in a machine with an extortionate price tag. The AI revolution.

This thing making the rounds on every cooking channel lol?

allright, they all gave you one of their oven and you're hyping it, how original

you can do pretty good steak in standard air fryer just preheat this thing max temp for 15-20 minutes then depending on the thickness you do 7-10mins and boom a very decent steak done

Why not just say it's sponsored from the start? Would be really nice to know which of your previous videos have also been sponsored? By staying silent people assume the worst and you lose credibility.

Hahaha, the next YT chef coming around with this thing... 🤣🤣🤣

I have 2 kids so I bought 4 of these and had a new counter-top installed to hold them all so I can make 4 steaks. Said no one... ever

You're better off getting the Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 with the thermostat. It does all this and more, isn't a kickstarter, and is a reputable brand

What this needs is what the Anova sous vide has: a community app where people can upload recipes. You could upload all your favorite recipes and we could just make them with a push of a button... how cool would it be for you to see THOSE videos popping up?!

It's suspicious how everything is cooked "just the way you like it!!"

This just seems like another gimmick. Par results for a premium. A nicely sized regular air fryer, convection oven, or pellet grill can give better results without the gimmicks.

Thank the comments. I skipped the video after reading that its about a Kickstarter product that's not even going to be available in my country.

An airfryer is just an oven that sponsors youtubers

One problem with most air fryers is you can only make one dish at a time. So you still need to be using a stove top, regular oven or a portable unit to cook other dishes for a meal.

I’m getting one of these as soon as it’s available!!!!

AI engineer here, you don’t need AI for all this or to achieve a good cooking machine, this stuff has been dialed in since the 60s. I would be extremely skeptical of any AI claims, including the fact that the machine probably doesn’t have enough processing power.

Pfas in the interior coating?

Great Video, glad to see veggies as well as meats. For RIBS, If you download the app to your phone and follow the directions, it does add BBQ sauce and broil at 450 for a few minutes at the end, after the machine says Finished. It also gave dry rub ingredients at the beginning. Would like to see some other recipes from the app, and your opinion on those.

For years I have been searching for a channel as yours.

I needed this in 2008 when I moved into my first apartment. Would have been perfect because I barely knew how to cook and didn't take the time to learn. I (poorly) cooked steaks and did crock pot meals sometimes. Did the boxed meals occasionally. Pizza kits. Looking back it was pretty sad how I chose food. That all changed once I learned how to bake bread during the pandemic. Was a chain reaction of learning and your channel partly contributed to my huge interest in actually cooking. So thank you :) Good job on the video - i mean it was really clear it was one big #ad from the get go but I don't mind. I enjoy your cadence and pick up on off-the-cuff stuff you mention.

I wasn't sold until the "probe not detached" part... Like HUH!? This thing is LEGIT!

Geez being an ad or not this is a cool air fryer, and me as a busy gal see myself having one of these for sure. Love that the machine comes with some instructions and multiple features for good cooking :) I wouldn’t have to ask google anymore

I cook steaks in my Ninja Foodi XL every day. Perfect medium rare. No water/combo needed

do you think you could throw the steak back in the other way to get it done well on both sides, or would that over cook it?

Geez, first Guga, then Sonny from ThatDudeCanCook, now you, all doing full length sponsored glowing product endorsements for this thing. I’ve gotta say, I’m getting more and more convinced to never purchase anything from Dreo, and just wait for another company, that doesn’t throw a bunch of cash at content creators to create sketchy advertisements, to release a similar device. Yup, I’m convinced.

I thought the FTC updated their guidelines a week ago on disclosing the sponsorship up front now, rather than putting it in the comments?

I think the sponsorship should be disclosed at the front of the video, it feels dishonoest to put it in the comments.

Here "AI" should really mean "Already Invented" Let's be real here!

Another thing I’d like to know is how it stands up against one of the main things that air fryers have become so popular for,as in their cost to run?

If this thing can do anything, why should i watch this channel anymore? After mentioning AI, i was out! I don't want to hear that marketing BS. Tell me if this was sponsored right at the beginning and i can watch this as product showcase. But don't sell this as review while reading statements from some website.

This is a great idea for the home cook. This technology,as mentioned, has been in professional kitchens for awhile but the price point even for the countertop models is well above your average home cook. If they are able to pull this off at this price point it will be a game changer. My years in professional kitchens does not transfer always amazingly over into time constraints at home with kids and other factors. Love this. I’ll give it try for sure.

Stop calling this stuff AI. It isn't.

I had this ages ago, I'm on my second one infact...the Cuisinart steam convection oven. Americans were too cheap to purchase that unit when it was out though, hopefully it takes off this time.

I am a super early bird backer and I received my Chefmaker. It works as advertised. The steaks are amazing. I haven’t tried veggies or chicken yet but will do that soon.

You seem to have an unholy fascination with air fryers. I'll just skip this one until I buy an air fryer. I think you've done this one to death. LOL

Wow, this is incredible. What I can do in 10 minutes, Ill be able to do in nearly an hour.

See if you use an oven and not the mainstream air frier you can put even 5 whole ribs at once. Who knew 😂

Get ready for STICKER SHOCK when someone who is not a you tube cook and dosen't get this thing for free- Way too expensive for me, I'll just stick with my Cosori Dual Blaze, thank you.

Mike, for years you have given us valuable insight and a deep dive into your world of culinary adventures. Things happen and while criticism may be given, you continue to fill a void for MILLIONS on this platform. Still and forever will ride with you and the PHC kitchen. Here's to more memories and recipes together!

I just bought an air fryer you recommended 7 months ago.

One interesting thing to note since I just literally got one of these and none of the videos I've seen mentioned this - one of the very first things mentioned in their provided cooking tips manual is searing meats on Broil Mode for 3-5 minutes after probe cooking.

maybe you didn't get a great result with the ribs cause the prob may have been touching the foil, giving a higher reading to the machine, maiking it finish earlier than it should, just an idea. The other proteins i think were great, really cool piece of equipment!

Thank you for explaining how the water comes into play. I saw so many reviews for this and they don't really explain it. They just said, you add water, and then they show the results of the food at the end.

Hi, does the cooking process allow you to flip the steak during the browning phase to get even browning top and bottom? Or would interrupting to cooking process to flip the steak bugger up the process?

Almost a week in. Have you gotten any updates? And can you save your own programs??

Just say its sponsored WITHIN the video. Come on.

love ur vids!

OK now do a comparison with the Anova Precision Oven.

That was insightful Mike, keep it going. But I think the dislike ratio is because you should have put a sponsor disclaimer

medium rare?, a little bit medium well for me. I was a little underwhelmed with the uneven browning, especially with the cauliflower, and the steak. I think they have a bit more developing to do but an exciting concept.

This looks so delicious .

This was a good demonstration. I really would like to try cook something different type of fish like bass or trout.

I think they need to reach to professionals that have worked in depth with rational ovens because it's basically a rational oven for home

If the product is as good as it's manufacturers believe, then it'll be successful without the need of shills. Buyer beware. "Pro home cook", more like prostitute.

You showed the bottom of the steak!! Yes, you should have mentioned that it was sponsored, but that’s the most honest review I’ve seen on this.

Damn, I wish you would have said it's a kickstarter project at the beginning...

I really hope this is the last air fryer video on this channel 😅

Considering you have to cook in several batches, meaning either one person is eating while the other person is waiting for their food to cook in the 2nd batch, I know if I had one of these it would end up collecting dust while I went back to the stove or oven where I could cook the whole families food together - not in batches. Doesn't really end up being much of a time saver unless you're cooking for one.

So... can it do small loves of sourdough bread? That's my big question. With the steam oven capabilities, maybe? If it could, that would make the baking process for sourdough a LOT easier!

With the water thingy, would you be able to use it to bake bread or bread rolls?

Ok Mike, I hate to be "that guy" but you did all the work with your knowledge. I know that you felt you had more control, and you did than just a plain flame or induction, but in all honesty that was mostly you cooking as a pro home chef. It's an awesome appliance, but it will never substitute people who know how to correct.

Great technique with prep and seasoning. I personally haven't understood the appeal of air fryers, until I used a Rational oven

The steak was just okay. If I’m paying good money for a ribeye this wouldn’t be my 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice.

Looks like they made their $10k goal on kickstarter lmfao

I would love this! I know how to cook but I live in an apartment so making cooking meats a bit easier

Stupid question here. Noting the water tank you’re washing the produce from?? Rain capture, or…..??? Any sanitation going on before that valve you’re washing your food in?? Just wondering if there’s any concerns of pathogens being passed to your food?

So its the functionality of a smart oven but capacity of an airfryer? Kinda tough sell.

Ragusea just did a video with this too. They're swinging for the fences out the gate. Anyways, way too much atm.

The salmon was overdone, imo. Doesn't mean it was dry, but should have had a bit more pink imo. I'd say that looked more like medium, with very little pink. You certainly didn't say it was dry, so that's a good thing.

Okay, you’re the second youtuber I have seen testing this product, first one was the guys from Sorted. The company who made this definitely has money for marketing!

Is this a paid-for promotional ad?

I saw that Hop Hands in there 🍻

Have you ever tried lemon juice and parm on roasted cauliflower? It's really good!

8:30 Oh Nooo! 😱 Spray? What kind of spray was that? I spread a combo of Ghee and butter on *BOTH SIDES* before even putting it in the grill basket. You only sprayed it with who knows what, some horrible inflammatory seed oil? And you only sprayed one side. (Update: okay, watched that part again, I noticed that you sprayed twice but didn't mention that you flipped it, but I did notice it was the other side. I also paused the video and zoomed in on the spray and noticed it was coconut oil. Not bad but not better than Ghee & Butter combo). I dry brined one of my ribeyes for 24 hour with only pink Himalayan salt (who does a dry brine with salt and pepper?) after the 24 hours, I peppered the steak, then cooked the steak classic flavor. The other steak, I just dried thoroughly with a paper towel (no dry brine), rubbed with the butter ghee combo yumminess on both sides, then salt & pepper, then immediately placed in the grill basket and cooked sous vide method. There was no grey band on that one. I just have to plan to cook the steak sous vide method a couple hours before I want to eat. There's one thing that I did do after cooking in the ChefMaker; I had to get out my cast iron skillet to sear the fat side of the steak. I eat all the fat on my steaks but it has to be seared at least to a light brown for me to eat it. And if it's a little less than brown, that's okay too. I will still eat the fat. The more fat, the better.

A question to everyone... Do you know of any airfryer that doesn't have the non-stick coating inside? All non-stick are carcinogenic, so I would much rather have pure glass, ceramic, etc. As long as it could take the temperature

I don't dispute some of the processes with different food but most are like learning how to navigate a trip to Mars.

Can you change the default settings of the presets and save them?

Sweek Potato. Never had one of those.

I´ve been watching your shows for a while and I love the delivery, knowledge and edition. However, please include celsius readings in ALL your videos please!! The rest of the world and potential subscribers will appreciate it. Thanks.

i wonder how much it will be when it comes out because if you can buy a solid air fryer for $100 im not spending $500 on one that can cook with a probe which i can practice a couple of times and always set at the same temp and time and achieve the same
