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)

I have been looking into getting an air fryer for the past year, and I was undecided about whether to get one in the oven style or get one with a basket since I wasn’t sure which would be better. I ended up going with this Dreo Air Fryer with the basket, and let me tell you, it is AMAZING! If you are in the same situation, you should definitely go for the basket. The basket is big enough to make dinner for me and my mom, and the air fryer itself is very user-friendly with easy-to-understand cooking functions. The air fryer is about a foot long and fits perfectly on my countertop. It is short enough so that it does not bump the bottom of any cabinets, but yet it still does not compromise the size of the basket. With that said, if you are looking for a fantastic, easy-to-use air fryer, this is it! I also tried a couple of the recipes from the recipe book that came with the air fryer, and I was surprised to see how many different types of food you can make with this simple machine. I would have thought many of the recipes needed to be made with a pan, oven, or grill, but every recipe I tried was absolutely delicious (and some even tasted better than if I had made the how I usually would have)! Of the recipes that I have made with this air fryer, my top five favorite recipes would be the bacon, french fries, buffalo chicken wings, kale chips, and the grilled cheese sandwich. 1. Bacon Seriously, it is absolutely ridiculous that I ever fried bacon in a pan. The air fryer bacon is a million times better tasting than bacon from a pan. This bacon is crispy and crunchy, but it does not have that burnt taste that the pan gives. It is also obviously far better than chewy and floppy microwaved bacon. Honestly, I can never go back to making bacon in a pan ever again. Besides having a superior taste, the air fryer bacon does not spray everywhere while it is cooking. This means...no more oil burns all over your arms!!! Now, whenever I want a quick and easy breakfast, I just put a couple of slices of bacon into the air fryer for 8 minutes, and they come out flawless. If you make bacon often, I would suggest buying this air fryer just to make breakfast. 2. Buffalo Chicken Wings Oh boy. The air fryer buffalo chicken wings were amazing!!! Much better than even most restaurants. I hate soggy chicken wings that are just slathered in sauce, but the air fryer made the crispiest chicken skin. Since they are homemade, the quality of chicken is also much better than if you were to get frozen wings or restaurant wings. With the air fryer, I had plump, juicy buffalo chicken wings that were miles better than any wings I have ever had. Of course the benefit of making your own wings is that you can also choose your favorite brand of buffalo wings sauce. These buffalo chicken wings were so good that I even tried to make them with cauliflower and WOW they were good. 3. Kale Chips Ok, so I know what you are thinking. Yuck kale. But no! Hear me out! Kale chips are healthy, nutritious, and seriously some of my favorite chips out there. You can choose how much oil, salt, and seasoning you want on your kale chips, making them extremely healthy. Plus kale is a superfood. I don’t usually like kale, but kale chips are delicious! Kale chips are also very expensive to buy a small amount at stores like Whole Foods or Erewhon, but if you make them at home, they are just a fraction of the price for much more chips. My family and I are all addicted to these kale chips. Seriously, they are so good. If you are looking for a fail safe recipe, definitely make these. 4. Grilled Cheese Sandwich I didn’t think you could make a grill cheese sandwich in the air fryer, so I was totally intrigued when I saw it on the recipes list. I just had to give it a try, and surprise surprise, it was delicious just like all of the other recipes! The cheese was perfectly melted and the bread was had a great crunch and texture. Since the air fryer ‘fries’ 360 degrees around the food, I did not have to flip the grilled cheese or worry about one side burning, which make for a quick and easy lunch or snack. If you need to pack your kids lunch, this air fryer is great for quick on the go meals.

I am a blog writer for food and beverage. My absolute two favorite activities in this world are to write and to eat. I like to explore much more and learning new things. This time, I tried dreo air fryer! Air fryers have found their way into many kitchens within the past year. They offer a fast and convenient way to cook a variety of foods via the circulation of hot air. That way, you can have crispy, delicious air-fried food without the extra calories from oil. What's not to love? First Impression- Super Compact !!! The Dreo air fryer has a sleek and compact design with a great punch of power when it comes to cooking food. Its small size doesn’t take up too much counter space and its presets make it incredibly easy to use. I tried my hand at cooking five different recipes in the Dreo air fryer- two vegetables, an appetizer, a frozen food, and a dessert. Here is how they turned out. Mini Diced Potatoes There is a recipe in the cookbook that comes with the air fryer on page 3 for breakfast potatoes. The ones I made are very similar. The main difference is that I used mini potatoes and diced them into cubes instead of wedges. I used all of the seasonings that were listed in the recipe in the book- oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. I also added dried oregano and fresh rosemary. After coating the diced potatoes in the oil and seasonings, I arranged them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s important to not overfill the basket to ensure that all of the contents cook evenly. I used the French fry preset which was 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Since they were small, the potatoes only needed about 15 minutes to cook to a beautiful golden brown. The potatoes were crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. It was the perfect ratio. I was very impressed with how quickly the air fryer was able to cook them as well. Chopped Brussel Sprouts Many vegetables cook amazingly in an air fryer and brussels sprouts are one of my favorites to make. Like potatoes, brussels sprouts are also a great side dish, but they are much healthier. I began by cutting four brussels sprouts into quarters and then dicing each of them into bite-sized pieces. The leaves tend to separate, which is fine. Those are the bits that end up becoming the crispiest. I then tossed the chopped sprouts in a bit of olive oil and seasoned them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried oregano. The vegetable preset cooked the sprouts at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. I set the timer for 5 minutes and then cooked them for an additional 4 minutes. A feature that I really like about the Dreo air fryer is that a few of the presets remind you to remove the basket to shake it. This helped all of the brussels sprouts to achieve a delightful crunch. I served them with crumbled feta cheese on top. Mini Pizza Bagels Air fryers are excellent for cooking frozen foods and the Dreo brand is no exception. I was hungry for something that was quick and easy but didn’t want to have to assemble anything. It would be really easy to make your own mini pizza bagels, but I purchased these in the frozen section at my local grocery store. They were really easy to arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cooked very quickly. I cooked them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8 minutes. There was no need to wait for the air fryer to preheat before putting them in. They were the perfect snack to accompany a Friday night of binge-watching shows on Discovery Plus. Jalapeño Buttons Something that I really love about air fryers is that they can cook foods that are typically deep-fried in oil. They still come out very crispy and golden-brown but without the extra grease. I made homemade jalapeño buttons by slicing one jalapeño pepper into slices that were about a quarter of an inch thick. Next, I coated each of the slices in a dredge of flour, followed by a dip in an egg wash, and then finished with a coating in breadcrumbs. Before placing the buttons in the air fryer basket, I sprayed it with an olive oil cooking spray. Also, a tip to get any air-fried food extra crispy is to spray them with that same cooking spray, but don't overdo it. I air-fried the jalapeño buttons at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes. They were so easy to make and tasted better than ones you could buy at a restaurant. They were the perfect appetizer! Chocolate Chip and Coconut Shortbread Cookies This recipe is from page 8 of the cookbook. The title of it is “Cranberry Cookies,” but I didn’t have any dried cranberries in my kitchen. I used shredded coconut and chocolate chips instead. The only other ingredients were butter, powdered sugar, an egg yolk, flour, and a pinch of salt. After mixing everything together, the dough needs to be rolled into a log in plastic wrap and put in the freezer to harden. I air-fried the cookies at 305 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. I checked them about every 5 minutes to make sure they weren't meshing together. The cookies in the photo in the cookbook do not look like what the end result was, but they were still delicious. They are shortbread cookies, so they are very crumbly and buttery. Serve them as a dessert after dinner, or have them with coffee in the morning! I really enjoyed using the Dreo air fryer. The foods that I made turned out great. The basket and tray insert are also very easy to clean. There is such a wide variety of recipes that can be made in a short amount of time and they are sure to impress your family and friends.

We have always loved the idea of an air fryer but have tried a couple (a $40 one that was just smaller than this and a $300 huge one that has other settings and abilities) and were just never thrilled with the results. They usually took just as long as the oven to cook and the one just didn't have enough space for more than one portion. They also didn't cook fries and nuggets at the same time proportionally - one would always take vastly longer than the other. Our friend moved in with us for a while and brought his air fryer. We fell in love. Once he found his fiance and moved out, he took it with him and we went back to ours. Enevitably, we were unhappy and decided it was time to just purchase the same one he had. 😅 We love this air fryer. It cooks fast and evenly. It beeps and the halfway point so you can shake it and get a better result. It is ergonomic, easy to clean, and easy to use. The only problem I have ever had with it in the couple years he was with us was that it randomly changed to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit somehow. The instructions we had didn't tell us how to fix it. We found the answer online, it was a series of button pushing and once done, was back to normal. It never happened again but the instructions are online somewhere in case it happens to you!

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!

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.

Die Fritteuse hält was sie verspricht, alle bisher probierten Gerichte sind sehr gut gelungen. Der Energieverbrauch hält sich in akzeptablen Grenzen. 2 Portionen Süßkartoffelfrites 0,28 kWh in 10 Minuten. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die Übersetzung von Bedienungsanleitung und Rezeptheft. Die Übersetzungen, womöglich 2 mal?!, sind sehr originell und manchmal verwirrend. Da das Gerät aber wirklich kaum fehl zu Bedienen ist habe ich von einem Sternabzug abgesehen.

Perfekt zum aufwärmen Perfekt zum Braten Sehr leicht und schnell zu reinigen Man kann leider nur 5 Sterne ⭐️ geben sonst würde ich 10 Sterne ⭐️ geben

Klare Funktionen, leicht verständlich und effizient Das waren Erwartungen an eine Heißluftfriteuse und diese wurden zu 100% erfüllt. So muss ich nicht für ein paar teile den Ofen abwerfen und aufs vorheizen kann man auch verzichten
