Chefman Electric Indoor Air Fryer + Grill Does It All, Countertop-Size 5-in-1 Unit Can Air Fry, Grill, Roast, Bake, and Broil, Removable Integrated Probe Thermometer Guarantees Perfect Doneness

One thing I have always hater about air fryers is that you kind of have to have faith in your timing and temps. Not anymore. Now you can see exactly what is going on inside your fryer!As many have said, you are supposed to leave the silicone stoppers on the tray. They will not burn. They are made out of the same material as silicone cupcake trays. This unit gets up to 400 degrees and the melt point for them is above that.I ran mine outside for about 20 minutes for 3 repetitions. This burnt off the factory smell. Which smells like various chemicals like plastic and electronics. After this I reheated some French fries and after that it smelled like whatever I put into it.The nice thing about the rubber stoppers is that they hold the tray in place when you pull the basket out to shake and/or flip your food. So, I've put burgers into it and then flipped them like a chef would in the pan. The same with French fries. Their smaller unit doesn't have these stoppers so if you do that it would also flip the tray around.When it is time to flip you don't cancel/stop the machine. You just pull the basket out and flip the food and then return it into the machine. It will then begin where it left off. One caveat is that if you kept pulling it out to flip at minute 3, before the entire minute is over, it will perpetually stay on minute 3. So it isn't keeping track of minutes + seconds when you flip the food, it just begins again at zero seconds for the minute you were on.The basket is huge. You can easily cook two big steaks in there. The 3.x quart unit used to do 3 breaded pork chops for me. This one does 7. And does them much quicker too.I cannot say enough how great it is to have the window to see the food. With this information and a couple of quick glances every few minutes you can gain information for future uses on how much time or temp is needed for different foods.Cleaning on all of their units is super easy. I use hot soapy water and a no scratch dish scrubber with a Teflon pad. Everything comes right off easy and no scratches.

Okay, had to come write a review because I know I would have appreciated reading it! Haha!I specifically chose this air fryer because of the window, and I’m so glad I did. It is literally the bomb! I did a lot of research and read tons of reviews. I didn’t go for the XL drawer style because I heard they were a challenge to clean, and I honestly didn’t need that much space. But I wanted something bigger than a 5qt. So I got this 8qt. Honestly, I thought it would be bigger? But it’s still a good size and DEF wouldn't go smaller. Basically all the reviews I read had lovers and haters. But overall I decided to give it a try. Some said it smelled like plastic. But another reviewer mentioned after cleaning the basket per instructions, they took it outside and ran it through a few cycles. I did the same. It had a slight smell, but nothing crazy. After I brought it in and it cooled, I tried my first experiment of frozen pretzels with pepperoni and cheese. It said 400 for 15 on the box. I have watched so many videos by now I knew to decrease everything. So I chose 350 for 5 mins and that was ‘just’ perfect’!!! I probably could have done 4 mins! WATCHING THROUGH THE WINDOW WAS GOLDENNNNNN!!!! My word!!!! Get this one!!! I love it! I can’t wait to try something else in it!!! The other common complaint was chipping of the coating. 🤷🏽‍♀️Instructions say…no aerosol oil sprays!!! So yeah, I see people on YT using Pam? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️So, yeah, don’t do that and maybe it won’t chip! Walmart and TJ’s has a Avocado non-aerosol spray high smoke point. Bam! Get it! This seems super well made, considering. I know it’s not a super expensive appliance…but it does the job. It will pay for itself, not having to run my oven. The digital pad is quiet. The noise of the fryer is very quiet. It was pretty hot after running it a few times at 400 for 10-15 mins. So put it in a good place. I had to wait for it to cool down before I could move it. It has the 4 preset settings, which I think will basically be a short cut to the temp you want and easily adjusted with the buttons. I barely had to press them, was great! I’m super excited about the possibilities and can’t wait to try some more stuff. I’ll come back and update later with how it’s going after awhile. I think after all my research…this is a good one! The window…seriously guys, it’s the best! ✅🙌🏼🎉 Oh, btw, pretzel was awesome and totally cooked through and soft…in 5 mins from frozen! This is gonna be amazing!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼Update-Almost two months in, and still loving it. Now I KNOW the window is a must! Like, how do other Air Fryers not do this, if it’s possible? Working great, easy to clean. Use it all the time! Would absolutely buy it again. Only thing wrong so far…the Logo is rubbing off right where I use my thumb to pull the drawer out. Not a big deal, I actually tried to just rub the whole thing off, will have to work at it. But maybe the Manufacturer can put it somewhere else? Other than that…awesomeness continues! 🙌🏼 One other note, I was worried that since this model doesn’t have the ‘basket’ type you couldn’t ‘pour it out’ because the bottom tray would come out? That was wrong. You can pour it out just like the basket ones. The silicone stoppers hold the tray down snug enough for you to pour your fries into a bowl. Just FYI, if you were worried about it. :) No need to worry, works great, less stuff to clean!✅Almost a year now! Use it…I’d say pretty much every week for something! Window is still my favorite. Touch screen on top is another thing I do like.Unfortunately, the rubber stoppers have been breaking off one by one. Poor design. The little spikes that hold them in place just end up getting cut over time with all the in and out, and thus…break off. So now I have two spots in the basket where the nonstick has come off…and I’m sure will start to rust. Technically it’s not touching the food. But overall, if they came up with a new design for those tabs, it’d work better. Now I always have to hold the bottom in with a spoon or something when I dump the basket, so I’d doesn’t fall out.Still love it. Maybe I can get new rubber stoppers?

Juicy grilled meat, poultry, fish and veggies without the awful smoky, splattery mess of stove top grilling! That's the reason I chose the grill model and it has far exceeded my hopes. Super easy to clean. Air fryer does a fantastic job with pork tenderloin, which can easily dry out on a grill or in a regular oven. The temp probe works wonderfully. Air fryer basket is roomier than I'd expected-- for example, it holds 2 delicata squash cut lengthwise (4 halves)in one layer or several cups of cubed squash piled up (stirring partway thru). You get that wonderful crispy sear on the outside and tender inside that you can't get in the oven, and with just a tsp of oil! It's mind boggling.. And I have *dramatically* reduced my use of the regular oven, saving tons of energy and energy costs in the process, not to mention not heating up the kitchen. What a terrific product.
