Dreo Air Fryer - 100℉ to 450℉, 4 Quart Hot Oven Cooker with 50 Recipes, 9 Cooking Functions on Easy Touch Screen, Preheat, Shake Reminder, 9-in-1 Digital Airfryer, Black, 4L (DR-KAF002)

Have made a couple of items with this air fryer. Makes good fries, chicken and fish pretty good too. Icons on the control panel are not quite as obvious as I would like but useable. Recipe book is fine, couple of misprinted items but easy enough to figure out and correct.

People have always highly recommended air fryers since I am not particularly great at cooking, and I wish I got one sooner! I have overcooked, undercooked, and straight-up burnt food so many times I can’t even count. But with this air fryer and the extensive recipe book, every single meal I have made has tasted amazing. I even decided to branch out, get brave, and try some new recipes on my own. This air fryer, in particular, is also the perfect size for me. I only live with my boyfriend, so the portion sizes are perfect for us. The Dreo air fryer only takes up a little bit of counter space and stands about a foot and a half tall, which is perfect for a smaller apartment. It even fits nicely inside the cabinet, so it doesn’t take up space when I am not using it. The interesting part about an air fryer is that they don’t even really need to be in the kitchen. As long as you have an outlet, you can make these full and delicious meals. I wish I had one when I was living in the dorm rooms in college! As a beginner home cook, this air fryer is great for making quick, easy, and healthy meals.1. Lemon Pepper ShrimpWhenever I go to a hot wings restaurant, I always go for lemon pepper wings, fries, and anything else lemon pepper flavored. So, it’s no surprise that when I found this recipe for lemon pepper shrimp, I just had to try it. The lemon pepper flavored marinated perfectly into the fresh and crunchy shrimp and it was truly fantastic. The shrimp made for a light entree that would be perfect for a dinner where you may have had a big lunch earlier in the day. I truly could not recommend this dish more. I put it with a side of some white rice and boiled broccoli for a clean, healthy, and balanced meal. The lemon pepper shrimp had a nice tangy flavor that was not too salty like some of the lemon pepper wings that the restaurants serve, but salt can also be adjusted to personal preference. The flavor and texture of the shrimp are just so delicious I think even those who do not typically enjoy seafood would like this dish.2. French FriesI have always thought homemade french fries would be very difficult to make since I thought they required flour, cornstarch, or some other ingredients, and the idea of deep-frying was always terrifying to me. But when I saw that there was a recipe for homemade french fries in the recipe book, and all it required was a potato and some spices, I knew I had to try it. I was interested to see that I would soak the potatoes in water, which I assume was to get rid of the starch. I would like to make it once without soaking the french fries to see if it actually makes a difference. These french fries overall exceeded all expectations. They came out crispy and not too oily, which I really liked! Sometimes french fries at restaurants are just too oily, and they even make my skin break out if I eat too many, but these were just perfect. I even left the skin on, and the fries looked very professional and rustic. I also hardly used any oil, which was exciting since it was so crispy and delicious even without needing to deep fry the french fries. I am excited to add french fries to all of my home-cooked cheeseburger meals and even as a quick and easy snack.3. Fried TofuI love ordering fried tofu at Chinese restaurants, so I was thrilled to try cooking them in my new air fryer! I followed the instructions given in the recipe book, and I cut them up into little cubes and added soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and paprika, and sprayed it with avocado oil before putting them into the air fryer. Before I knew it, the tofu was finished and it was great! I will even make this as a light snack if I get hungry. The only change I would make to the recipe next time would be not to add sesame seeds. The sesame seeds added an excellent flavor to the tofu, but it was not strong enough to be worth all of the seeds stuck between my teeth. Now that I know the timings for perfect fried tofu, I will try making them plain with just a bit of salt and pepper like the Thai restaurants do and make a peanut sauce out of peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, and soy sauce to dip the tofu into. This is a great recipe for anyone who may be gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or really just anyone who enjoys a good tofu dish.4. Salt and Pepper ScallopsAs a lover of all seafood, I was definitely determined to find a way to make scallops in the air fryer. Whenever I go to a seafood restaurant, my go-to order is always a bed of pan-fried scallops in garlic and butter, but I wanted to find a healthier, cheaper way to make these at home. I made two batches of scallops by spraying them with avocado oil spray and lightly seasoning them with salt and pepper. I put the first batch of scallops in for 8 minutes at 400 degrees, which was a recipe I found online, and then I flipped them at the halfway mark. Unfortunately, this first batch of scallops came out slightly over cooked and could be considered cooked medium, so then I altered the timings just a bit to 6 minutes. These scallops were perfect! They were not too rare or overcooked, and they were perfectly cooked medium-rare. At the time, I did not feel like adding garlic or butter to it, but I imagine it would be delicious to drizzle some chopped garlic and butter over the top of these scallops. These scallops came out looking professional, and I could see myself making them next time I have people over for dinner.I’m very happy with this Air Fryer and highly recommend it.

Ich liebe Pommes aber leider schmecken die aus dem Ofen nue so richtig gut. Durch die Heissluftfritteuse habe ich nun jederzeit die Möglichkeit mir schnell und einfach leckere und gesunde Pommes zu machen :)! Die aus Kartoffeln selbst gemachten finde ich bisher am allerbesten - man darf das Körbchen nur nicht zu voll machen. Zudem schmeckt Pizza am nächsten Tag gleich doppelt so gut wenn man sie im DREO aufwärmt (3-4 Minuten, nicht zu heiß). Auch Tofu wird fantastisch.Ich könnte ewig weitermachen - aber kurz und knapp: großartiges Teil und so vielseitig!

Perfekt zum aufwärmenPerfekt zum BratenSehr leicht und schnell zu reinigenMan kann leider nur 5 Sterne ⭐️ geben sonst würde ich 10 Sterne ⭐️ geben

This is a very sharp looking and easy to use Air Fryer. I 'upgraded' from an older AF with the same capacity that just had 2 knobs for temp and time. This one has a digital control panel on the top with several presets. It's much smaller on the outside, and *very* quiet. Instead of a basket that lifts out, it has a 'grate' that sits in the bottom for airflow. Super easy to clean - dishwasher safe, but I don't even bother with that, just a little soap and water, quick and easy. Comes with 50 recipes if you need that kind of thing.Bonus you can register it and extend the warranty to 5 years (no cost). And by all accounts, they are very responsive to inquiries.The only negatives are (1) there are silicon spacers on the grate, but no spares, so if you lose them you might be out of luck (maybe customer support will replace them?); and (2) the grate just sits in the bottom so you have to be careful if you 'pour' out whatever you've cooked (like fries or onion rings) -- that grate will come falling out too and is very very hot, can burn you if you aren't expecting it.But still it's an awesome Air Fryer for 1-3 people, small, nice looking, and quiet. I bought two more for friends.** UPDATE ** OK I've had this for about 6 months and I still love it! Use it for something or other several times a week. After reading some of the negative reviews I decided to address a few things:1) to get to 450deg you have to choose the 'steak' setting. it's that simple. otherwise it limits at 400. Same for preheat (which i use to dry it after washing) - choose 'steak' if you want to get the extra minute and/or higher temp.2) the controls can be a little confusing at first, but once you understand them it's pretty simple. first select the preset you want, or preheat if you want to preheat (NOT REQUIRED as some people seem to think). press on/off to accept, then on/off again to start (that's the confusing part - you have to press twice for the selection to actually 'take') - it will beep a few times so you know it is actually started. THEN you can change adjust time/temp to suit your needs.(most of the time i just use the default, start it, then adjust the time/temp to suit; but if you cook a lot of different things regularly the presets can be handy)3) press the button on the handle to remove the basket. the AF will pause, then resume where you left off when you put it back in. make sure it's all the way in so it starts/restarts. i thought my first one broke after a week because apparently i didn't push it all the way in; now i have an extra lol.4) if you leave the basket out for a while it will shut off automatically. if you want to close it but turn it off, press off/on TWICE - once will change it to OFF, twice will EXECUTE that selection. the 'twice' thing can be confusing, but it keeps you from accidentally changing something or turning it off when you don't want to.even now i *still* sometimes forget to press the start button twice, i'll think i started it and then realize i'm not hearing anything (and it is very quiet), realize i need to actually start it.Once you nail the controls it's a super AF for people who want something that looks sharp, is small, and easy to clean. Just watch out when you empty it, the rack will come out if you don't hold it there with a fork or something, and it is very hot of course.here's a nifty "recipe": like croutons (eg, for a salad)? take a decent bagel (i like einsteins 'everything' bagels for this), cut or tear it into chunks, throw them in the AF at 400 until they are browned to suit. soooo good, can make a whole bagel's worth and just reheat later.* OK so i've had this for 18 months and counting now. still love it, use it all the time. usually just drop the basket the grate in the dishwasher with the spacers on. i guess technically if you wanted to be super hygienic about it you would remove the spacers. at any rate, i noticed that at least one of the spacers was starting to degrade and come off......so the gist is that DREO customer support was on it. after i verified my order (screenshot of amzn invoice), they are sending me a new set of spacers. they aren't sold on their site, so this was really great! *(incidentally i just received their new 'chefmaker combi fryer' today (on sale 40% off) and can't wait to add that to my counter!)
