Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer, Cook like a pro with just the press of a button, Smart Air Fryer Cooker with Cook probe, Water Atomizer, 3 professional cooking modes, 6 QT

The media could not be loaded. I recently added this Smart Air Fryer (they called it "combi fryer") to my kitchen, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. When compared to my original air fryer, this new addition showcases a range of exceptional features that have totally changed the way I cook.1. Pork Shoulder Perfection with ChefMode and Meat ProbeI was skeptical at first when trying ChefMode, even though Dreo says it automates all the cooking process, I didn't want to leave the machine on its own. But the ChefMaker really delivered on its promise. I only had to insert the probe, select "Pork Shoulder" and the machine did it all, just like magic. The pork was absolutely amazing, just in the perfect spot between tender and flavorful, it totally blew my mind.2. Never Had a Fish Like This Before.I'm definitely having more seafood from now on, I love how the ChefMaker cleverly uses water spraying to roast the salmon to perfection, keeping it moist and tender on the inside, and making the skin crisp and delicious on the outside. I was never able to achieve this using a frying pan and oven by myself.3. It's A Dream Come True for Meat LoversWhen making steaks with the ChefMaker you can not only choose doneness but also pick between classic and sous-vide. And no matter how you want it, it cooks it perfectly from edge-to-edge, only comparable with something you'll get at the finest steakhouses.4. Interactive Color Display for Cooking Tips and TricksThe color display on the ChefMaker Smart Air Fryer isn't just for show; it gives you cooking tips and tricks. It's like having a seasoned chef right in your kitchen, guiding you every step of the way to get impeccable cooking results.5. Its Software is Constantly ImprovingWhen they say smart, they really mean it with this machine. It has already received a couple of upgrades since I bought it, adding new recipes and programs, the pork shoulder was one of the newest and I can't wait to try what's coming in the next updates.6. Exceptional Community and ServiceWhat's more impressive is the community behind this product, they are everywhere on social media, sharing recipes, tricks, and feedback on how to get the most out of the appliance. I even had the unique opportunity to speak with a design engineer from Dreo within the community and share my suggestions, which they will consider in future updates.7. DislikeThe only issue I encountered was the learning curve; it takes a bit of time to master all the features. In particular, they don't allow me to control the cooking parameters when the unit is doing its job. When cooking a very small piece of meat, it tends to overcook a bit. However, with the incredible results it offers and the time I saved, I found it more than worthwhile.Bottom line, the ChefMaker is a truly innovative appliance that has taken my cooking game to the next level. It delivers outstanding results and a level of customer service that is unparalleled. If you're looking for ways to improve your cooking, ChefMaker is a no-brainer.

A friend recommended this and we needed a new air fryer that was not too big. Everything about this DREO is crazy good. The Teflon coating is amazing and it cleans up so easily. The Chef Mode is basically like AI cooking with probe. It is as close to Sous Vide cooking you can get with very little effort. I'm a cook. I'm a griller and BBQ guys. I cook the best steak ever. This thing in Chef Mode cooked the best damn Ribeye steak I've cooked in a long time. It does need to be a thicker cut of meat though to really work well. It takes a little extra time, BUT you don't do a thing except season your meat, put the probe in and it cooks it to perfection while you do whatever else you want. It's only good for a small family or single people this thing will save you a fortune in time and not wasting food. I've had it for 2 months and I still haven't gotten through all the bells and whistles. Yes, the app for your phone is really good. You can use it to go through all the menus and it's faster than the touch screen plus gives you an expected time of finish and lets you know when your food is done. It's pricey, but in my opinion worth it. I used some credits I had which helped, but I would go back and pay full price for it. Vegetables and Potatoes are cooked to perfection. It even has a setting for mushrooms and it nailed it! This thing has so many permutations of settings it would make a statistician dizzy. I plan to try them all. No, did not get paid anything to say this and I really bought one. If you are on the fence, don't be. It has a money back guarantee. But I guarantee if you take the time to learn how to use it and really use it, you won't be sending it back. Kali Oreksi!

So on the kind of person to watch & read hundreds of reviews of a product before buying it, and ignoring most of them being paid or affiliate, I was still fairly convinced this would be a good purchase, but not an amazing one. Man, do I stand corrected.The very first time I ever used this product, I cooked one of the biggest choice grade ribeyes I have made that I got from my local meat market. I properly seasoned it and coated it in butter as per instructed. Then finally I let it cook. Sure it took quite a long time to cook fully, and I did pop it back in for another minute on broil after flipping it, but if it wasn’t the most amazing steak I’ve ever tasted at home, I don’t know what it was.Never would I think making a steak in a glorified air fryer would taste this good. It cooked it to a perfect medium rare as I instructed it to in the app before sending the recipe to the machine, and it was still so juicy after all that time cooking.Besides that amazing first meal, the thing is built extremely high-quality, made almost completely of metal and some very high-quality plastic so it looks really nice on my counter. It is a little big for having such a small frying bin, but that doesn’t subtract from the functionality if you’re able to understand that I can’t cook for an amazing amount of people usually. I’d say one to two people is a good range for how many people it can cook for.Weirdly enough, the screen is not a touchscreen, but that’s fine since the buttons are pretty easy to understand. I will notice that some of the product pictures in the manual do look different than the ones that you get with the product, like the grilling rack for the steak is this metallic metal piece, but on the images in the manual, and sometimes the app seem to depict a thicker, black piece.Overall, I think this combination device has been an amazing purchase so far, allowing me to cook things with little intervention, as well as being able to cook things like side dishes, while my main course can cook on its own, or vice versa! A handy little gadget I don’t see getting rid of anytime soon… I just hope they add more recipes on the app! (Like maybe more basic things such as fries or chicken tenders).
