[@lethaleefox6017]

Looked about as juicy as the induction cooker with a little water and a controlled temperature selected for not drying out the meat a bit below the boiling point of water. The idea of moderating cooking temperatures with water is a good one... that I use with induction cooking.

You keep saying "atomized water."

I don't know if you say that as a little joke, but personally I find it to be a very clever way of doing the sponsorship properly but giving us good advise. Adam had no need of showing us the steak bit of the video. He does it because why not and then follows with a different thing completely, just after saying to us that if something is bad he wouldn't say anything but he wouldn't lie either. That part of the video is there probably just to inform us that the devide does not cook steak specially well.

If the machine can heat the air enough, possibly some oil wrapping of the steak itself, this might turn out to be great!

It depends. There are two kinds of kickstarters. Those that need the funds for product development and start with just a concept or some prototypes and those that are an established business basically using kickstarter for marketing and pre orders. This looks like the latter and the risk for those is pretty low. Assuming they aren't just lying the lead time on this is short enough that product development has to already be finished.

[@meneldal]

Anova and some others have also been doing countertop models for a few years but those are intrinsically a tradeoff in many ways as all countertop ovens and stoves are.

How is atomizer misleading? Did you look the word up on Google? It’s spraying water into the cooking chamber. Steam is the gas form of water while atomized water is still water and not a gas. How do people just assume they know what something means when they’ve likely never heard the word before?

[@yshwgth]

@@robertp457 The word atomizer is misleading because it doesn't split the water into atoms, simple as that. And don't try to argue with the ancient Greek definition of atom being the smallest part of something, I'm talking about atoms in modern scientific usage. Now, I know the word atomizer is used differently from what it would be if taken literally. But that is exactly the point, so is air fryer.

[@WyattGoslingIsCool]

3:45 I also think the smaller body compartment of air helps a lot too. An oven has to first heat the air before it heats your food. The more air you have to heat, the slower the cooking will go. It would also mean some of the cooking happens at lower temperature, which is probably why the conventional oven is less brown.

[@AlexandriAce]

My problem with the smaller tabletop convection ovens (which I agree, is a better name than air fryer) is the lack of space. My dad got a much larger, like 10-in-1 "toaster oven" unit, it's about the size of two college dorm room microwaves stuck together end to end, and a little bit taller than a microwave, and it's SO MUCH better than smaller units, and way cheaper than getting a stationary, traditional oven/stove combo with a convection fan. Most of the oven/stove combos with convection that I've seen have pretty pitiful fans, anyways, and the ones with big enough fans to actually make a difference are priced accordingly. So unless I were to find one of those combo units (one that actually has an adequate fan) for the same price as a non-convection unit that has all of the features I want, or even cheaper, then I'll probably stick with one of the larger countertop ovens, and have my stove/oven combo be non-convection.

[@minuteman4199]

The advantage of things like this (and old fashioned toaster ovens) is that they use a fraction of the energy of heating a whole oven to cook one little piece of chicken.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Yes if it IS a "little piece of chicken". No if it's bigger and will take an hour or so. This is due to traditional ovens having insulation so once they're up to temp they use less energy to stay at that temp. Also if this thing uses atomised water then it's going to use even more energy to overcome the inherent cooling from that.

I agree, "air fryer" is a bad name...but an argument I see all the time is that it's "just a convection oven", and I would say that it is, in function, different from just a "convection oven". A convection oven just has a fan that blows around the already-heated air, which is great for ensuring even cooking throughout the oven's space. An "air fry" (or "European style convection") has a heat source behind the fan, so the air being blown is quite a bit hotter. I have a gas range and an electric countertop toaster-oven-style "air fryer", and both have both functions, and there's a HUGE difference between both of those functions in the results.

[@MrVTPhil]

Strongly agree with this. Also, the tiny compact space of a "tabletop convection oven" means you have a LOT more air moving in relation to the size of the food. A traditional American convection oven has a small (in relation) fan in the back of the unit, whereas the air fryer is like 40% fan by volume. This results in far crispier food far faster (even without adding oil yourself) than you get in a traditional convection oven.

[@veraxis9961]

Correct. Many ovens in the US do not have convection settings (although many do). I am not sure what is typical in the UK, but here most ovens tend to come as part of a 4-burner stove/range on top of the oven, often paired with a large overhead microwave oven with an integrated fume vent. For this reason the ovens and microwaves tend to be quite big, but it is still relatively space efficient because everything is stacked on top of each other.

Can you do the probe cook w/ the water? If I got this, I think I'd probe cook the chicken to 155, then finish for 30 secs in a ripping hot pan for some more color on the outside.

ooh baby am I addicted to discourse and Adam has fed me well tonight

[@Lvvcassss]

That steak maybe could've used a little rest but otherwise, this looks solid. I sometimes use my *close your ears* air fryer with a litthe water below the food basket and it usually ends up in meat being more juicy. Wet air does not dry up the food that much and conducts heat better, science :)

[@theyreMineralsMarie]

Wait, you're telling me this thing will figure out my whole life for me? Ad or not, I'm sold.

[@iuploadstuff5806]

I never thought I'd see the day you use an air flyer.

[@Griffith74]

a kickstarter because those always turn out well!!!

[@UTeewb]

Seems like from a functional perspective it's like using an Anova Precision oven (which is basically a Combi Oven) except it automatically browns.

[@bazil4146]

But that thing is like nearly quadruple the price

[@robertp457]

It’s not similar to the Anova at all. The Anova oven injects steam into the oven while this device sprays a fine mist of water into the cooking chamber.

[@UTeewb]

@robertp457 I said functionaly similar not technically similar :) . They both can produce sous vide like results because of extreme temperature control, allowing minimal banding in meats.

[@kiro9291]

hooray for Adam hating to call small convection ovens "air fryers" 🎉

[@Hoodsonbr]

It does look like a great product if maybe a little unnecessarily complex (like everything nowadays).

[@Squiggy8440]

The big problem is, what’ll happen if and when, 5 years down the line, they shut down the app? What then? Half the features are gone.

[@saragrosie2417]

Juiciest being spelled wrong is the cherry on top

[@donnymcgahan1158]

"Atomized water"..... steam?

[@halflucan]

Sounds like it would be good for people who like the precision of sous vide but with a bit more heterogeneity and not having to seal your food in a plastic bag every time

[@mangamaster03]

I paid a hefty 599, but the Anova steam oven can do sous vide without the bag. I put two baking sheets worth of chicken breasts in the oven and they come out super juicy every time.

Using "fat phobic" to indicate a fear of fat. This just makes me happy.

[@totalbrootal]

3:08 I fully expected at the start of that watering plants scene to be a transition to an ad, even though the entire video is an ad

[@Pokemaster-wg9gx]

mini convection oven marketing how convection ovens use air: exists Adam: YOU CANNOT FRY IN AIR

[@grossly_mismanaged]

Thank you Adam! Found the perfect Christmas gift for my mom :D

[@Tannhauser42]

As someone who has backed many Kickstarter projects, NONE of them have ever delivered on time. Despite the delivery times they have listed on the site, it still may not deliver in time for Christmas.

[@Nikki0417]

The seasoned plate made me feel nostalgic.

[@BigBoyLies]

'atomized water' so, steam?

[@Hybridsixtynine]

I love that you refuse to call that hot air top blowing machine an A!&FRY*R, too. It is a handy device for cooking small quantities of [insert item to be roasted] though.

[@dachannien]

This is being compared to air fryers because it's a countertop device, and to conventional non-convection ovens because lots of people have them, but it should really be compared to an in-wall or under-counter convection oven. So the $259 price point should be compared to the price point for an actual convection oven.

[@Thgeffen]

would it be possible ti bake bread in it with the water feature for a good crust?

[@robertp457]

You could, but the loaves would be a bit on the small side. Thought I don’t know if you can cook above 100c with steam in this device.

[@stormshaman]

What does this have over a dutch oven that you sear in on the stove top, then add liquid, cover, and move to the oven to finish?

[@jonathank4200]

“i only have to touch the raw chicken once” *touches raw chicken twice on camera*

[@dude-e]

Very interesting oven. Also, appreciate you telling us upfront that this is a sponsored advertisement

[@vasanthm3494]

can someone explain how the water poured on top influences the whole cooking process?

[@watamidoing8131]

This reminds me a bit of an Technology Connections video about an microwave oven with programmed recipes. I wonder what they would think of this

[@u2bst1nks]

I know that "airfryer" is annoying marketing speak, but I think there should be a term other than "convection toaster oven." Convection toaster ovens have been around forever, and if you read the patents on the airfryer, there are important design differences (stronger fans, rounded corners to allow better air circulation, etc...) that make them more effective than toaster ovens with a fan that were available 30 years ago.

[@giorgioortiz]

I just got the Dreo smart fan. I love it.
