It is recommended to clean the grilling rack with hot water and detergent before the first use, and clean it thoroughly after each use to prevent food contamination for the next use.

Absolutely amazing machine. I have been in a professional kitchen for about 20 years and this little machine makes cooking a breeze at home. My kids have started using it to make dinner with too. They love it as well. Wifi makes it easy to know when things are done and ready to plate.
My first time cooking my lamb chops in DREO, I was kind of afraid at the beginning, had a hard time placing the probe in the right place, but finally got it. My lamb chops for some reason didn’t crisp much. I set the broiler and let them crisp some more. Final result delicious. In the overall, I need to practice more. I am very happy with my purchase.
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.
Used this the first day. Followed directions and did a pre empty burn to get any new car smells out. Then cooked a ribeye for myself and later filet for my daughter. My steak was one of the best I had in years. Buying on for my dad for Christmas.
All you have to do is set it and forget it, but not totally, if you know what I mean, You gotta eat. I love to ease this Dreo brings to my life. You can easily control you cooking from the app and get updates when it is done straight to your computer home. I get a nice color on the top of my salmon and steak. You can always cook it to your liking. I been using it everyday even to toast bread.
I use parchment paper in my for easy clean up.
It’s a good machine but, for the price could be better. The temperature control is not so great you may have to cook a little bit longer after using chef mode feature and also for the chef mode when cooking steaks don’t expect to find all the steak varieties, some steak choices are not there. But, I still will recommend this with the available updates that’s included over WiFi.
I’ve been using the Dreo cooker primarily for steaks, and let me tell you—it delivers perfect results every time! Once you figure out the right mode, it’s smooth sailing from there. I’ve cooked everything from high-end ribeyes to bone-in Wagyu, and the results are always wonderful. It’s also a breeze to use and easy to clean, which is a huge plus.
The cooker even comes with a phone app that lets you monitor and control everything remotely, which adds so much convenience. I’ve cooked not only steaks but also bacon, sausage, and more, and everything comes out great.
All around, I love this cooker and couldn’t be happier with how it performs!
I was hesitant to spend this much money on an air fryer. My last was from Costco for $69.00 and lasted over 3 years. I’m glad I did, the Chefmaker gives my outside grill a run for its money! I haven’t made anything but steaks so far but they have been perfect every time. So glad I bought this.
I would give this 10 stars if I could. As a truck driver this changed my life. I eat a carnivore diet and now I get perfectly cooked steaks every single day, for a fraction of the cost and time that I would normally spend
Just wanna say Im impressed about this air fryer it literally cooked me a ribeye steak to perfect temp in 10min no guessing and flipping around just set it and leave it, cleaning is also a breeze no splatter just the base where its cooking not like if you use oven to broil theres gonna be a lot of splatters inside the oven that you need to clean up
I am so happy with this product. Ive cooked steaks, salmon filets from frozen state and turkey burgers. Super easy to use and I cannot believe that its like grilling out but way easier. The taste and tenderness is just amazing
The Chefmaster takes the guess work out of cooking proteins. My husband doesn’t usually comment on any of the other fryers that I have bought in the past, but he is very impressed with the Dreo.
Most amazing appliance I have ever owned - and I’m a kitchen minimalist! I am currently living with out a kitchen as a family of 5 - this air fryer and instant pot can do it all! Perfect food every single time! Created roasted veggies comparable to my old high end convention oven! Absolutely amazing ! I’m obsessed - could not be happier !
The Chef Maker has leveled up my cooking game at home, I was pleasantly surprised on how good it really is. I was watching videos on the web before deciding to make the purchase and I don't know why I waited so long for it! Get yours ASAP!
Gosh, I love this thing. It's a great quality machine with a decent capacity. It is a little large on my counter but I like having it out and accessible. It cleans up really easily and doesn't have a weird plastic smell when used. I like that I can adjust the temp and cook time and there are a ton of different functions to cook whatever you need. It even has an app with recipes that you can send directly to the fryer. I have used it for all sorts of frozen foods, hot dogs, baked potatoes, toast, grilled cheese sandwiches, and reheating leftovers.
The absolute best kitchen appliance I have. I have ordered and tasted some fantastic steaks in my time but the first ribeye steak that I made in my Chefmaker was as good if not better than any I've ever tasted. I'd give 6 stars if I could. You will not regret purchasing this phenomenal air fryer (and more)
So far this is a great purchase and I am still learning lots of great ways to use this appliance. I did quite a bit of research and stumbled on the Dreo Air Fryer and did comparisons and lots of reviews and am very happy I did. The design to use AI and the temperature probe were differences that swung my decision and I think the Dreo will become an important part of our cooking experiences in our home.
What an incredible appliance. I cannot say enough good things about this air fryer/kitchen assistant. This thing is packed with all kinds of cool, very helpful features. The most impressing thing to me is how well it can cook a steak while making it easier than any other method out there. In addition to all of the cooking assistance you could ask for, it also does the basics extremely well like air frying and toasting/roasting. Cleanup is a breeze with the nonstick surface and its a great size whether you want to leave it on your countertop or store away when not in use. Could not recommend this product anymore.
Absolutely amazing. I use it everyday. I love cooking, and this provides really great results. You have complete control over the level you want to cook at. One of the few gadgets I use daily.
Use this at leastc3 x a day. Love all the features. But it is the best for me bc of the uses. Plan to work w it for years. I bought the warranty. Yes!!
I Kickstarted this a few years ago, and it is easily my favorite kitchen tool, by far.
I don't even have a microwave anymore. Anything you would use a microwave for, this does just the same. It might be a little slower, but not much, and the trade off is that you get oven cooked quality. Leftovers and frozen foods are crispy instead of limp.
It's also more economical than an oven, and faster. I only use my oven for things that won't fit in here. Because the interior space is so much smaller, you're not wasting energy heating a big box of air.
My favorite thing is to take a bag of frozen chicken thighs, stick them in to defrost for 10 minutes. They come out perfectly defrosted on the default setting, with none of the slightly cooked results you often get from things like microwaving. Then add a bit of seasoning, maybe a sauce, and use the chicken thigh setting to bake them to perfection. Perfectly tender, golden brown, every single time. Great dinner with almost no effort.
And that doesn't even cover the main selling feature, the thing that sets it apart from any other air fryer or convection oven - the smart cooking. It has a library of recipes that walk you step by step through preparation and cooking. And it's all connected to a phone app, so you can pick your dinner while shopping and see what you need to buy. And the app lets you control the device from your phone. I don't know if you can do it remotely, or if you have to be on the same wifi network as the device. But even with that restriction, it's nice to be able to check on the status of your food while in a different room, doing something else.
Very impressed so far. We'll see if it holds up over the long term, and I'm hoping it does because I'm liking the features. Wondered if I would actually use the "CombiChef" (or whatever it's called) feature, and found out it works really well. I don't have to guess about the temperature or the time for cooking and then test with a handheld digital thermometer. And the food comes out surprisingly good even when I don't spend a great deal of time and effort doing seasoning and other prep. I cook for myself and cook for my dog. Even the pork chops I cook for the dog come out juicy and tender and very tasty. I abandoned my Ninja Foodie pot cooker for this and I'm pleased about that. The Dreo is much easier to clean and maintain. It's so quiet that I have to look to see if it is actually cooking and I see the digital screen telling me what stage it is in, which is very helpful. Only cook small quantities so I can't report on cooking larger batches, but even with smaller amounts of food it seems to not overcook anything. Seems the Dreo is a winner. Hoping it has the chops to last a long time.
I went through three different air fryers before finding the Chefmaker Combi Fryer. I love it. Makes fixing dinner so much easier and the meat tastes great: steak, hamburger, salmon, pork chops, all of it. My only complaint is that when using the sous vide option, you can't rely on the estimate for when the meat will be done. The fryer takes its time calculating remaining cook time, and then sits on 1 minute remaining for about 15 minutes or more. But with enough experimentation, I have been able to learn how long the process will really take and to adjust. Great product.
the best air fryer on the market ..... I love it .....very easy to use......and so many functions....excellent steaks with probe ..Cooks from bottom and top......easy to clean.
