Hey! You can get $60 OFF thru 11/7! Here: dreoaffiliateprogram.pxf.io/ChefMaker Or Amazon: amzn.to/3txzq8W Watch my original review of the Dreo ChefMaker: ua-cam.com/video/5lTBojdacH4/v-deo.html (where I make steak, fries, bread and baked potatoes!)
Kathy - I know you did this video 5 months ago but when I first watched it I thought I really want to try ribs in my Dreo. Fast forward 5 months and tonight my husband and I both feasted on ribs for dinner. For empty nesters the amount cooked was perfect. Thank you for all of your videos and I love your cookbook!
Bought one after seeing your comparison video. Your introduction regarding many requests for "how to video" makes my point regarding total lack of any instruction manual. Simple things, like how to empty the water reservoir chamber when done cooking. Turn the machine upside down over sink or remove the reservoir ? We emailed customer service and got crickets, they know. Perhaps your taste tester dude could help them with an instruction manual. Perfect summer project for da boys. If your smartphone stupid, good luck updating firmware. These things in your comparison review might be helpful in making a high tech purchase decision vs old school.
Sorry to hear that! For emptying the water chamber, it's an option in the settings menu I'm almost positive. I'm not by it right now, but I am pretty sure you just go to the settings on the unit and it guides you right through the process.
I used to watch videos from my favorite rib restaurant (Phils BBQ) to see what the heck they were doing in the back. So I determined they spicerub them up, put them in a commercial steam oven "Rational iCombi", and then they would take them out of there, sauce them up and toss them over a flaming grill and burn the sauce on. Very interesting possibilities with a mini combi steam oven.
I got the Dreo when it was on kickstarter so I paid half the retail price. I only use it for meat. I use my Cosori for everything else. It does meat great.
I'll stick to Instant Pot to cook ribs then caramelize in the air fryer if I am not using the smoker. I don't like all that burn on the outside. I want more control.
It's relatively pricey and that was my main reservation when you did your first video on it, but the results were pretty impressive. I'd really like to see another video after you've lived with it a while, especially how easy it is to clean up, etc. Great video, as always.
Clean up is as easy as this: ua-cam.com/video/rgPj7O0BcEU/v-deo.html And there is a function in the setting menu to drain the water tank (and also descale occassionally). It's really simple!
@@empoweredcooksI’d really like to know if you cook anything other than chunks of meat in it. On your first video I did see you did fries and rolls, so kudos to for being the only one to venture off the plain cut of meat path!
Thank you for your wonderful reviews! After comparing the yet-to-be-reviewed Cuisineart with the Cosori Pro I I, I selected the PRO II. This unit replaces a Breville mini oven-style air dryer. My results with the Breville were good, but they were not what I expected from a AF. Cleaning was a source of aggravation. Now I need to find a recipe for citrus salmon that's as good as they use at “The Hanger” in Juneau. 😊
Great overview and demonstration. The Corosori Dual Blaze is hard to beat. The Dreo Combi Cooker looks really nice but the $360 price .v. the $150 Corosori III isn't justified. Seems like too many parts and components to fail and the basket doesn't look as large as the DB. Your previous vids showed how hot the glass windows get duing cooking. The thermometer seems cumbersome and fragile and would seemingly render the Dreo CC impotent if lost or damaged. As well, the water chamber may be harder or awkward to clean therefore inviting mold and other bacteria to grow over time if the unit does not allow for easy cleaning access. Thanks for the efforts put forth in all your fantastic videos. Best!!
Thanks for the compliments AND comments! I should have addressed these things... in the system menu, you can actually drain the water chamber fully (just push the button and in a few minutes it has drained). There is also a descale cycle you can put it through. The basket is about 1/2" square smaller. And the thermometer is actually very well built. I keep it in the drawer where I keep my other instant read therms.
I have both the Dreo and Dual Blaze. I agree with everything Kathy mentioned. I drain my water after every use and store with the water lid off. I've heard rumors that Dreo will be dropping 40% for black friday and selling for $215! If I had money to burn, I would buy another Dreo and shelf my Dual Blaze, honestly. The 450 temp on the Dreo plus the probe and sous vide modes put it over the top for me. The bottom element on the Dual Blaze ended up being less of an advantage than I had hoped. I find I typically cook with the DB on the Broil setting to avoid smoke. The Dreo itself is really well made and quite noticeably heavier than my Cosori. So far no issues keeping it clean or using the probe and I've used this thing pretty much every day, sometimes more than once, for the past 3 months. Anyone with the funds and interest, I would say go for it!
Howdy Kathy 👋. Chuck here letting you know that my Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer arrives tomorrow. Woohoo! My COSORI Dual Blaze III is one year old working great. I hope to sell it. But, truthfully, at 76, I’m slowing down. Living alone, I don’t feel too excited to cook anymore, but do still like my proteins, etc. Thank you for your Combi Fryer vids. Keep it up. God bless you and your beautiful family. Best, Chuck PS: I’m the pesty guy who told you we par-cook not par-boil potatoes in microwave 😂. No water involved 🤣
Between you and Sorted Food I backed the Kickstarter for this and have had it for a week. I've done chicken legs (superb - just used the thigh setting and they turned out cooked through but SO juicy), a 2" ribeye (best steak I've ever cooked for myself, and I usually Sous Vide my steak. Helps it was a quality piece of meat to begin with). I even did thick sausages (UK sausages) with the probe setting and they worked really well though I forgot to flip them halfway. Now, if there's a downside it's limited options in the Chef menu. eg I had a small beef "chump roast" (yeah, I know - I think it's equivalent to a rump roast. Must be a local thing) but while there are several settings for steaks, there's only one beef joint setting "beef brisket". I tried that setting, assuming the probe would keep it right but was fortunate to test it with my usual temperature probe and pulled it out about 2 hrs into a 3.5 hour estimated cook time that would have left it like an old boot. Cooking it like a steak probably would have done a better job, as it was only about 3 lbs. Excited to try salmon, whole chicken (will be a squeeze), pork shoulder steaks etc. etc.
Oh Kathy...you really need to do a brisket in the chefmaker. I'm smelling mine cook right now...heavenly! I saw Indigo Nili feature the Dreo brisket recipe/instructions on her channel and it looked good enough to try myself! I hope you give that a shot in another video. The ribs seem kind of pointless unless just cooking for one. I would probably use a 'Meater' in the regular oven for the wrapped part of the cook and then finish sections in the air fryer after saucing but realistically, it can all probably be done in the oven with about the same results. My family has purchased 3 of the Chefmakers already and we just love them for cooking almost everything! Thanks for the great video!
Nothing taste like smoked ribs that have been smoking all day. I have a regular Cosori 5.8qt and I plan to make ribs in it, but I know one thing about Ribs and that's the fact slow cooking them is the way to go. So, I plan to cut the temp down and increase the time significantly.
Looks nice and all, and easy to use as well. But I already was apprehensive of basket style AF. My main concern with an appliance is maintenance. To clean it and if it breaks. I recently finally got an AF. Is a Grill and AF, it opens like a chest, very easy to clean. So far the AF, Grill and bake function has work great. It has elements on the bottom as well. Reminded me of the Dual Blaze. It claims you don't need to flip stuff. And although, technically you don't to cook the food. It's best to still move tings around. if it's gonna be a long time. Cause the bottom heats up and can slightly burn things that weren't moved or flip. Although this might be a me thing since I overcook stuff often.
So here are my questions: 1. Is there an option to cook from frozen or does it always have to be thawed? 2. I have a cast iron 8" pizza Pan, is there a setting for pizza? Would that pan fit? 3. Can you just use tap water?
Can you cook more than just meat in here? Can you do like the pan recipes type of situation? I’m new to the air fryer. I’m trying to learn as much as possible. I love the chef mode option but if only useful for meat I would maybe go with something different
You can’t cook for more than two-3 people, so then you have to resort to an oven or grill? I love my oven and I am okay with cooking. Sear the salmon on the stovetop and pop in oven for 14-16 minutes. (Same time as this appliance.) Delicious.
What I would like to see is the Cuisinart Indoor Pizza oven. I have been enticed to by it and stop paying big prices for delivery pizza. The oven is just not the same.
Just at this moment in time, there is no need for me to buy the Dreo ChefMaker - as my original Cosori Air Fryer is still fairly new thanks to your advise/reviews on this very Channel. But I do have to say that personally, I have found that I preferred a lot of cooking results by adding a very tiny layer of water underneath the removable cooking tray of the Cosori. It just seems to make some things slightly more succulent?
Love the videos. I really want one and have been waiting on this before getting an air fryer. Just a little pricey, hoping the price goes down to under $200 then I’ll buy!!
i got mine at 240$ on June 2023 and received it on august, now its price is over $300, shipping is not included maybe after 3 years you'll get them $200 on black Friday.
Ordered on Black Friday. $215 free shipping. Pretty close to what I wanted to pay, but didn’t want to wait any longer, plus May never happen. I haven’t received it yet. Never had an air fryer before so I’m excited but nervous. I bought this mostly for meats. I’m not a great cook and hope the thermometer thingy helps. Cathy, anyway you can do a recipe book for ketovore?? Less carb foods? I ordered you cheat sheets also🥰Love you videos
No, it does anything, including bread! (see initial review video)... it just does a stellar job with proteins since you can insert the probe and literally walk away. I have done it with baked potatoes, bread, and anything else that is large enough to insert the probe into. Plus it has all the standard air fryer functions.
I bought this and it's definitely amazing but the Probe stopped working/registering after 2 weeks and it also doesn't push all the way and it pushed the basket out whenever the Probe is attached. So, i would appreciate it if someone can share a salutation since no one is talking about it
Again...here I am at the end of the video....our little baby boy... Omgosh...he's a little man, tasting ribs and being all...adultish....When, when, WHEN did that happen? I'm soooo old... This makes me sad. All of your kids are getting so old...and I've watched them from being so tiny... 😢
@@empoweredcooks You really should have mentioned that. Reviews need to be comprehensive. For both the potential customer and the sponsor alike. I guess you forgot while you ducked out to have your hair done.
It doesnt need to be new and improved! Air Fryers do their job well, l dont really understand what all the who-ha is about this thing! Big Deal chef Mode? Come. Onnnn. Pffft! More Bull to get people to buy a more expensive unit with more pretty bells for nothing!
I have two Cosori Dual Blaze air fryers, and before those, a 5.8 Cosori Pro. No need for yet another “oven” or another learning curve. The Dual Blaze is so easy to clean since the basket doesn’t have holes, no preheating, no flipping. And no need - or room - for yet another “oven.” Between the Dual Blaze and my Instant Pot, I’m set. I don’t even like cooking, but the Dual Blazes make it almost fun!
@elijahfluw4347 key word there, CHARCOALED. As in cooked over charcoal which emits chemicals when burnt. The color you see in this video is sugar carmalising and burning. While it does release acrylamide when sugars burn its not thought to increase risks of cancer in and of itself.
I’m a new follower as of today. I just started looking at a million videos of air fryer reviews in the last 2 weeks since I decided I wanted one. Your videos are so helpful. Order placed and I can’t wait!
I have had mine a while. LOVE it!!! I just cooked a WHOLE chicken in it yesterday; not spatchcocked. Turned out great! I have also baked a cake in it, did salmon, steaks, roast, porkchops, etc. For those who question why ChefMode sets this device apart, it literally cooks from inside outward with Browning as its last level. The water is a gentle mist throughout cooks when water is required. I could go on more. Absolutely no regrets!
@@victorbitter583 I agree with you, but also know what he means. It brings the overall temperature up gradually (sous vide style) then blasts the outside with higher heat to sear it.
@@victorbitter583 That's the best way I could describe it visually. I may need to study thermodynamics as you so graciously informed; however, you might also want to brush up on a course (or two) in Human Relations.
Thank you for your video on the Dreo. I purchased one and it's awesome. I love your videos. Living on my own as an empty nester, your recipes are great to really step up my meals. Keep the videos coming!
My point with this one is the difference it makes having the meat probe, and the step by step cooking built in AND the water atomization does a great job from keeping meats from drying out.
Just received my chefmaker yesterday. Today I put in baby back ribs at 5:40pm it is now 9:40pm and they are still not ready, the chefmaker has been on 1 minute remaining for over an hour. I used my own probe thermometer and they are barely around 135 degrees.
Make sure you register your Chef Maker in case you run into a defect and need a replacement. I've heard that other folks that needed customer service were helped hassle free as long as they are registered. There should be QR code you can scan in the paperwork that came with your chefmaker. I've never done ribs in the chefmaker but I've done a zillion other things using the probe in probe mode and chef mode with no issues so that seems odd.

Fold the tapered end of salmon under the thick end for even cooking temperature. Just bought your book. Love spiral bound!
I absolutely love this Dreo & the interface is amazing and yes I like your videos.

In my opinion, the easiest method, that hands-down also produces the most delicious ribs, is a pressure cooker.
Congrats on having an opinion, Kev.
I can confirm that ribs in the Dreo are very good. I haven't compared them to my pellet smoker yet, but surely easier than a smoker.
I have the ninja speedy combi, ninja grill
Both work well.
Thank you for doing this video! I’m loving my Dreo! Now I want to try ribs in it too😊!
Oh Carol - you will LOVE them!
I have the Tower 7-in-1 7l combo-steam airfryer
5:06 Yep! Knew that was going to happen! Skip the honey!

13:34 Pulls out food grade bone/meat drill, drills hole, inserts temp gauge inside, tosses in cooking device. Happiness ensues.
Maybe, glaze the salmon with honey when it's getting closer to being done. That way it doesn't get all like that.
I was thinking the same thing. Have you tried that?
It cooks well but doing ribs for more than 1 person with a medium appetite would be quite a chore.
Looks nice and all, and easy to use as well. But I already was apprehensive of basket style AF. My main concern with an appliance is maintenance. To clean it and if it breaks.

Cathy, can you please do a Combi cooking Baked Potato plus, say a Strip Steak? 🙏.
Also, how do I do chicken thighs crispiest skins?
Thanks, Chuck.
I am not sold on this. I love love love my 5.8 qt and dual blaze cosori’s Never have dried out meat. No messing around with water and a probe.
Can you cook more than just meat in here? Can you do like the pan recipes type of situation? I’m new to the air fryer. I’m trying to learn as much as possible. I love the chef mode option but if only useful for meat I would maybe go with something different
Can you like pan fey crumbled ground beef in this? Hands offish?
The water spray feature is a bit pointless if you are cooking with the ribs wrapped up in foil. Might as well just use an air fryer!
The probe function is what really makes the difference here. It's cooked perfectly and you don't have to check on it at all.
Great video. Does it cook anything but meat? And fish? Can you bake cakes? Cook veg?
Good morning Cathy. Could we use Liquid Smoke on Proteins? I think so.
Should try mustard for ur binder on the ribs/pork.

How does this cooker do with chicken? What has your experience with cooking chicken in one of these?
It does an excellent job! Just insert the probe and go!
Not available in Europe / Germany. 😢
the sugar in the sauce will get burnt
so is this product only for cooking meats??
It has programs to do veg too.

No success with ribs in an air frier…!!! Where you been woman…. Get a Ninja 10 in 1… ribs, no friggin problem…👍🏻
Not worth the money. Doesn’t really do any more than an air fryer and a bbq grill. How long to cook enough ribs for a family of 4-6? Too gimmicky
What I didn't show after the first rack of ribs is that I put the other two in at the same time (slightly stacked) with no issues!

Everything is coming out burned up! You can't make this up. Lol
Pretty sure that looked like fish…not ribs…!!! Just another air frier with more gimmicks
NOOOOOOOOOOLOO!!! NONONONOOOO He was just a little boy 3 days ago!!!!! There is NO WAAAAYYYY he's this tall young man!!!! Nooooooo!!!!
It's steam cooking that salmon. Nope.
It doesnt need to be new and improved! Air Fryers do their job well, l dont really understand what all the who-ha is about this thing! Big Deal chef Mode? Come. Onnnn. Pffft! More Bull to get people to buy a more expensive unit with more pretty bells for nothing!
Always a party popper in the comments, if you don't wanna buy it then don't.
lol the way I read this in my head was too funny. Who-ha! 😂

I have two Cosori Dual Blaze air fryers, and before those, a 5.8 Cosori Pro. No need for yet another “oven” or another learning curve. The Dual Blaze is so easy to clean since the basket doesn’t have holes, no preheating, no flipping. And no need - or room - for yet another “oven.” Between the Dual Blaze and my Instant Pot, I’m set. I don’t even like cooking, but the Dual Blazes make it almost fun!
I have one - and there is a difference. Worth every penny and I use it everyday. My air fryer sits on in the pantry mostly unused.
not good...the black stuff causes cancer on the barbecue....
It's carbon and yes! Correct you are!
@@dantewilliams3903
Yes you are. The charcoaled meat will increase the chance of cancer.
@elijahfluw4347 key word there, CHARCOALED. As in cooked over charcoal which emits chemicals when burnt.
The color you see in this video is sugar carmalising and burning. While it does release acrylamide when sugars burn its not thought to increase risks of cancer in and of itself.
6:27 Aahhhh your recipe is a Carnivore's Nightmare! 😱😯😧😟😵💫😵 No thank you!
горелая рыба🤮
teenagers will eat all of that and more. Help.
Over an hour for ⅓ of ribs not practicle didn't look like there was much more room for the other ⅔
I’m a new follower as of today. I just started looking at a million videos of air fryer reviews in the last 2 weeks since I decided I wanted one. Your videos are so helpful. Order placed and I can’t wait!
I have had mine a while. LOVE it!!! I just cooked a WHOLE chicken in it yesterday; not spatchcocked. Turned out great! I have also baked a cake in it, did salmon, steaks, roast, porkchops, etc. For those who question why ChefMode sets this device apart, it literally cooks from inside outward with Browning as its last level. The water is a gentle mist throughout cooks when water is required. I could go on more. Absolutely no regrets!
Great explanation! I love the way you worded it... cooking from inside out. I should have shown more info abt the stages of cooking!
@dothill1140 you need to study thermodynamics. It most certainly does NOT cook from the inside out.
@@victorbitter583 I agree with you, but also know what he means. It brings the overall temperature up gradually (sous vide style) then blasts the outside with higher heat to sear it.
@@AntonGully That's not cooking from the inside out. If it did, (which it can't) you couldn't cook a rare steak in there.
@@victorbitter583 That's the best way I could describe it visually. I may need to study thermodynamics as you so graciously informed; however, you might also want to brush up on a course (or two) in Human Relations.
Thank you for your video on the Dreo. I purchased one and it's awesome. I love your videos. Living on my own as an empty nester, your recipes are great to really step up my meals. Keep the videos coming!
For the ribs try Redmonds real salt cherry smoked !
Ok I got some ribs and can’t wait. I just made New York Strip Steak and WOW…. Absolutely delicious. Best appliance since my Ninja Speedi.
Our airfryer cooks the meats in an awesome way.....why get another machine??
My point with this one is the difference it makes having the meat probe, and the step by step cooking built in AND the water atomization does a great job from keeping meats from drying out.
Will this thing make beef jerky
use the smoker if the weather is sunny
Just received my chefmaker yesterday. Today I put in baby back ribs at 5:40pm it is now 9:40pm and they are still not ready, the chefmaker has been on 1 minute remaining for over an hour. I used my own probe thermometer and they are barely around 135 degrees.
Make sure you register your Chef Maker in case you run into a defect and need a replacement. I've heard that other folks that needed customer service were helped hassle free as long as they are registered. There should be QR code you can scan in the paperwork that came with your chefmaker.
I've never done ribs in the chefmaker but I've done a zillion other things using the probe in probe mode and chef mode with no issues so that seems odd.
Is this unit a PITA to clean?
