    Hey everyone, I hear and appreciate all the feedback. This video was sponsored by Dreo and I set out to give you the most honest review I could. I should have mentioned the sponsorship upfront in the video to create more transparency. -Mike G

      While I trust that this is an honest and faithful review, and also figured that this was a paid sponsorship, I would have much preferred to have it mentioned in the video. One of my favorite lines to hear on a product review is any variation of “This video is sponsored by XYZ, but I told them if they wanted to sponsor the video, they had to accept whatever my honest review of the product is- good or bad.”

      Gotta love not even pinning the comment where you finally admit this is sponsored! You make good videos, dont ruin your brand and credibility by not disclosing ads properly. No problem in taking ads, but just say its sponsored in the video and description. What do you gain in tricking your viewers? A bit more money now and a loss of trust later. Especially in a time where there are thousands of content creators, the truth is the content you make can be found elsewhere, what trully separates you is your personality and connection with the viewers that was gained throughout the years, dont ruin that.

      How you expect us to trust you to give an honest, critical review of a product if it is sponsored? It’s disingenuous to call it review if money is changing hands. Not being upfront with your viewers from the get go and have it come out afterwards makes them lose trust in you, even if your views in the video are completely uncensored by sponsors

    PSA FOR EVERYONE: This is just a Kickstarter. You are not "pre-ordering" this product. Your favorite youtubers do not just happen to love this product. The company that makes it is paying foodtubers large amounts of money to make full-on infomercials. As a Kickstarter, if you invest in the product's campaign thinking it's a pre-order, then there is absolutely no guarantee as to when you will get the product and very limited legal recourse for any issues it may have

      You also have no guarantee to *if* you'll get a product at all.

Obviously you can't create and bring to market an air fryer on 10,000..this is just a way to produce hype and abuse the kickstarter algorithms(wow instantly funded!!).

    I think you should know that it's UA-cam policy that you have to mention the sponsor in the video. You can't just put it in the description or in a pinned comment. It needs to be in the video itself. When you mention it in the video and you tag it as a sponsor in the upload (which you are required to do if there's a sponsor) It then shows underneath the video that this video contains product placement or sponsor. Your video currently doesn't do that and is very misleading, especially if someone's not reading the description or the comments.

    Okay, I need to say this, and in no way do I want to question the actual capabilities and performance of the device: AI in this case is just a marketing thing like when people tried to blockchain everything without any actual need.
    There are, at first glance, only temperature, ventilation, humidity and time involved and those are pretty straightforward curves to follow.
    Training an AI model for it seems unnecessary overkill, and I'd be surprised if it has an actual impact.
    But as long as it works, it's fine, especially since the device itself seems to be pretty good.

    Considering you have to cook in several batches, meaning either one person is eating while the other person is waiting for their food to cook in the 2nd batch, I know if I had one of these it would end up collecting dust while I went back to the stove or oven where I could cook the whole families food together - not in batches. Doesn't really end up being much of a time saver unless you're cooking for one.

      ​@@bricebeach3756 When I said Dreo was a known brand, I meant that they already have air fryers currently on the market. That's why I didn't hesitate. Also, $199 was the day one price - which is a price that I think is worth it for a combi cooker.
      I used large restaurant combi cookers in culinary school, so when this was first announced, it had my attention because steam cooking provides for a few additional options that I don't otherwise have in my home kitchen.
      I also don't already have an air fryer, though I've considered it. Based on what you have, if you're happy with it, be happy with it. I just think the criticism of how Dreo went about this is just a little over the top.

      @@WARnTEA So if you sear the steak yourself you don't flip it? I think the point is for the most part you put it in and forget it. I'm thinking of cooking it sv style like in the video and waiting till the end and then just popping it back in for a few minutes on broil on the other side after it's done.

    • @WARnTEA
      @WARnTEA 8 місяців тому

      @@brazil7028 I think you are underestimating how much effort it would take to be near the airfryer and then flip it and fiddle with the buttons to turn broil on and wait another 5 minutes. It'd be ideal if this airfryer really was set it and forget it, but unfortunately that isn't the case, so why not use that extra time to make a better tasting end product.
      There are two possible ways to sear it outside of the airfryer that would take a minimal amount of time or effort. As long as you have a pan that can handle high heat like a cast iron or carbon steel then searing shouldn't take more than 5-6minutes and like 4 of that is waiting for the pan to heat up on medium high, since it only takes like 30seconds per side to sear a steak. The first way is that you throw the pan on the burner to preheat first and then you take that time to prep everything like changing out the fryer basket to the grill version, and getting seasonings out. The benefit to this is that the steak will be finished cooking after the timer goes off. Potentially you could even account for the sear that the airfry adds at the end and purposely not sear the top side of the steak. The risk is that I don't if the end product will be any good. Searing the other sides before cooking might hurt the airfryers ability to cook it, or it might make it even better. Since this product uses a probe to cook the meat it will probably turn out good but, its an unknown that we won't know until we try it.
      The second version is doing a reverse sear by searing it at the end. For this version you cook it in the airfryer without the built in sear, and then before it finishes cooking you start preheating the pan, and working on the other side dishes you planned to serve with the steak. The benefit of this method is that there is very little wasted time assuming that you have side dishes to work on and finish up, and on top of that your food will just taste better. By searing it at the end you can use butter and rosemary or something like that to sear it and even spoon some butter on top to take it to the next level. Since the meat is already hot it will take even less time to sear than if done before cooking. The steak will need some time to rest anyway, so its not a big deal to spend an extra minute at the end to clean and reseason the cast iron/carbon steel pan.
