Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Demos - Cake, Bacon, Steak, Chicken, Tri-Tip, Fries - So Versatile!!

Welcome back to The Food Experience. Today's experience I am showing demos of strawberry cake, bacon, chicken breast tenderloins, porterhouse steak, rotisserie tri-tip, and french fries. Visit the manufacturer at: www.kalorik.com/

[@leslieollerhead1114]

I used the rotisserie for a 6 lb chicken last night, make sure you tightly truss the chicken. Quartered some potatoes, carrots and an onion put in the drip pan around the chicken leaving a space under chicken so it doesn’t hit the veg. Then I added chicken broth to the pan. I increased the temperature to 425F then lowered to finish cooking. In under an hour it was sooooo good. Crispy skin and juicy. Was so happy as I have read so many bad reviews the secret is in the trussing.

[@TheFoodExperience]

That sounds awesome for sure! I haven't tried to rotisserie a chicken and I've always heard that trussing the chicken nice and tight is the key. Too bad KZbin doesn't allow for people to post pictures in the comments because I would have enjoyed seeing what it looks like.

I came here (more accurately, a different video of yours then came here next) looking for information about the Kalorik Maxx I just got my family for Christmas. You have a lot of interesting information and I especially appreciate the actual examples you show instead of just telling us what you thought about it. I can't wait to try out the bacon, what you showed was absolutely the most perfect (personal preference) bacon I've seen made at home. I do have 1 little "nitpick" though ... As a food person, you should know that the higher the temperature, combined with the closer to the source of the heat, the more the outside of a piece of meat cooks in relation to the inside. By putting a piece of meat (steak) right next to the heat element at the maximum setting, you should get something resembling a sear like from a grill on the outside while not cooking the inside as much (aka "medium rare"). The adjustments you made in an attempt to not overcook the meat probably actually caused the center to cook MORE in comparison to the outside. Well, that's my personal experience from other situations (large restaurant oven), I haven't actually opened the Kalorik Maxx and tested it out yet so it's possible it doesn't apply the same to something with such a tiny interior space.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much for checking out my videos and your thoughts. I have definitely done more experimenting since this time. I've actually upgraded to the newer grill model which in my opinion cooks steaks perfectly. With the model in this video I found cooking them lower from the heating elements definitely works a lot better as you mentioned it should. Thanks again and enjoy your Maxx!

[@BarbKoss]

Hi I just got mine and tried making cinnamon rolls from a can. Do you have any suggestions for having them cook throughout and not burn. I rotated the pan as you said to do. I also lowered the temperature on another batch. I used the bake setting. Also Andy have you ever looked into the cookbook's on Amazon. Was wondering if they can help. Where is the link to other people's recipes that you mentioned in your videos. I really enjoy watching and learning from you. You are a blessing to all of us. God bless.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Hi Barb, I have not tried making cinnamon rolls from a can yet. That is something I should try. I definitely would cook them in the bake 2 slot using the big function and temperature printed on the packaging. You definitely were right to rotate the pan. Not sure why they got extra well done on top. I'll see if I could try it out this weekend. I have heard from some books that the cookbooks on Amazon are not that great. Usually when I want to cook something that I have not attempted I just use Google and type in the name of what I'm looking for with the words air fryer after it. I skimmed through all the results and find the best rated recipe. Thank you so much for watching my video and look for a cinnamon roll video soon.

[@imasahm13]

Love watching your videos on this oven, as we just bought one a two days ago. Unfortunately, the beep is unbelievably loud. We are trying to figure out if there is a way to program the beep volume down or turn it off altogether if it can't be turned down. Any suggestions? We don't want to use our oven yet, because the crazy loud beep makes our dogs think the smoke alarms are going off in the house!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. There is no way to control the beep. There are no settings to adjust the volume or to disable it all together. To me it doesn't seem all that loud but I don't have any animals in the house. Either that or I just got used to it by now. LOL

[@metaspherz]

Here's hoping that your dogs will eventually stop over-reacting to the loud beeps. My dog's ears just perk up now and if I don't get up fast enough he looks at me as if to say, "You going to get that?" 😀

[@patricelemay1190]

Interesting , most time it looked like it cooked faster than what the instruction says, l suppose like anything else there's a lurning curve until you know all the ins and outs of the instrument ,just received mine today , can’t wait to try it ! ☝🤓

[@TheFoodExperience]

I have figured out the default presets on the device are definitely a bit off from what is needed to cook certain items, especially for bacon and for steak. I will be coming back with further demos real soon. Thanks so much for tuning in and your comment. I hope you enjoy yours.

[@lindasmock-landsdowne7511]

Your video was great!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you very much

[@James_Bowie]

One design flaw with this device is that it is hotter in the back than the front. The designer should have attended to that problem as soon as it became evident in their own R&D testing. Also, instead of switching it off completely at the end of a bake, you are supposed to let it run its cool down cycle which it does automatically at the end of the selected time period. Another thing: the actual temperature reached in the cabinet is has been measured as being lower than the temperature set on the display, sometimes by 50 degrees F. Example: set to 500F but only ever reaches 450F. I would love to witness the product's design engineer being shown these flaws and hearing if they are original design fails (i.e. indicating insufficient testing during product development) or manufacturing quality fails.

[@TheFoodExperience]

I have a few different air fryer ovens from different manufacturers and they all seem to run hotter in the back. I truly believe it's because of the smaller enclosure and materials used for the inside of the devices. It's actually not a big deal for me. If I noticed the back of what I am cooking start Browning then I just rotate the pan or tray. You can switch it off immediately or you can let it run through its cool down cycle. I have ran some temperature checks and it does seem to be pretty accurate give or take about 25°. As the thermostat adjusts and the heat fluctuates. Appreciate you tuning in and forgiving your thoughts.

[@AG0024]

My new kaloric oven with the Probe option leaked grease after cooking a whole chicken on my counter top. Have you or anyone else had this problem happen or is my unit defective ? It leaked at back few days later i lifted it up and theres a slit in the metal like a flat head screw driver but also where 1 or 2 screws are it looks like it was slowly leaking from there. Its sorta close to the power cord so im a bit concerned so far i havent heard back from Kalorik..

[@TheFoodExperience]

Unfortunately I do not have the device that has the probe. I have never experienced that with the version I have. Sorry I don't have an answer for you. I would definitely contact their customer support. www.kalorik.com/pages/contact-us

[@love2cookpasta]

I thought you’d over cooked it but you had it perfect 😍

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thanks Karen! This was my first try at a tri-tip roast. I was definitely happy with the results. Now I use the Meater wireless temp probe and it comes out perfect each and every time. I put out a video on Meater that you will see on my channel. Really takes any guesswork out of things.

[@susanbarlow4841]

For the cake what are you cooking it on air fryer or oven and what temp and time.?

[@TheFoodExperience]

I used oven bake mode. It is not suitable to air fry a cake. I don't know what the temp and time was but I always just go by recipe instructions. No need to change a thing.

[@Peripatetic_Proletariat]

Here's a great Homemade Ketchup recipe: 1-Cup Champaign Vinegar 1/2 Raisins 3- Roma tomatoes 1-cup brown sugar (not packed) 1-Waihia Chili 1 tsp ground cloves 3 Garlic cloves 1/2 medium onion (3/4 cup coarse) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Bay leaves simmer all ingredients in a covered pot until tender (cooked down) Then transfer ingredients into blender and enjoy.

[@carmenlamaizon]

I just got one, getting some info from youtube about how to use it. Manual says NOT to use metal pans (???)

[@TheFoodExperience]

I have used aluminum pans, cast iron skillet, & disposable foil pans. I have not experienced any issues. I know in the manual they say not to use aluminum foil. It can be used just be mindful to weigh it down properly with whatever you are cooking.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Basically anything that can be used in a regular oven can be used in the Maxx so long as it fits.

[@Kevin.K-CTH]

YUMMY 🤤👍

[@user-dn2dr8px3d]

What is the other oven u keep talking about and y did u get this one and dump that one

[@TheFoodExperience]

My previous air fryer oven was the Cuisinart TOA-60. It served me well for 3 years and I wanted to upgrade it with something that had more capabilities. The Maxx definitely is a great upgrade. I did not dump the other one though. I put it away in a closest for backup purposes.

[@marshachapman3445]

What did u upgrade to?

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

I hope you are taking notes on everything. My fiancé and I make notes on everything we cook so that we can reproduce it again. Hell, maybe you could make a food experience cookbook!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Yes, I definitely write down notes on every project I cook. Definitely a good thing to do.

[@liamwelsh5565]

I tried cooking bacon and it cooked perfectly in 9 minutes and it was a normal thickness. Strange how yours cooked so much quicker.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Did you a complete preheat? Also what temp did you cook it at?

[@liamwelsh5565]

@@TheFoodExperience No preheat and I cooked it at whatever the default is for bacon. 425 maybe?

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@liamwelsh5565 you should always do a preheat when cooking anything. The Maxx should be treated just like you would a regular oven. In air fry mode I usually cook bacon at 365°. Takes about 5 minutes for it to get to that temperature. After that time is when I put the bacon in the regular air fry position. I usually use the steak tray although I have also tested with the air fryer basket and the bacon insert. You may want to give it a try that way.

[@metaspherz]

Hey, do you think that the 500 degrees is mostly for searing and then you cook the steak at whatever temp that you normally use? I normally sear my steak on both sides and then toss it in the oven until the desired doneness is achieved. Reverse sear is also an option too! Perhaps cooking the steak at 500 degrees for the total cooking time would be enticing to people who like their steak well-done. 🤔 Obviously, like all things in life, there is a learning curve involved when using any new oven or cooking device. You can follow the directions and the recipe to a 'T' but that doesn't necessarily mean that the food is cooked ideally to your liking. The more you experiment the more efficient you become determining your food's doneness or its 'Goldilocks Zone.'

[@TheFoodExperience]

They're definitely is a lot of experimentation along with trial and error that goes into learning the best results from a new device. One thing I have noticed in regards to 500 degrees is the thicker the steak the better the results. Just last weekend I cooked the steak that was 3/4 in thick and it came out pretty good. I'm definitely going to come back and do another steak video once I find a 1-in thick steak. I found a few here and there in between and they came out amazing. The store is never consistent with the cuts they have available. Here is a link to the video I filmed last weekend. Came out pretty dang good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pai9doekd9yLnrM

[@floraneilson8411]

my kalorik has about 1/4 inch gap between doors, is this normal??

[@TheFoodExperience]

It is supposed to have a gap in between the doors. I think it is around 1/8" though. 1/4" sounds like too much.

[@jimmybrannan7303]

They all have the same gap. I don't notice anything coming out like splash or such. It does allow for the cooling cycle to vent the hot air out the sides after cooking. I have gone the the gambit of air fryer cookers in the last 8 years and this is my favorites. I just tried the model just under this one but it didn't have a cycle without the air fry mode and it cooked too fast. This allows for every kind of cooking and does steaks and pizza great.

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@jimmybrannan7303 Totally agree with everything you said.

[@DANIELSTv]

For some reason I like how the other one marks the steak I don’t really like how this one does it.. I still need to try mines

[@TheFoodExperience]

I absolutely prefer the grill version over this original version. Either will work well though minus the grill marks.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Also, after shooting this video I experimented further with steak and what I found is it's best to use the regular air fry position after first preheating to 500° in steak mode. Also instead of the drip pan way down low, I combo the drip pan and steak tray together. Let it cook for about 5 minutes on one side and flip it over and continue cooking to your desired doneness. Also, I preheat with the steak tray inside of the device so that when you put the steak on it immediately sizzles and Sears the bottom. I know I have another video demonstrating that but I need to find it.

[@TheFoodExperience]

The only vid I could find using the method I mentioned is this video. I was comparing the Maxx to another device. Maxx wins! This method will yield the best results though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pai9doekd9yLnrM

[@TheFoodExperience]

i did this review as a demo without adjusting many settings. Since then what I found works perfect for me in regards to bacon is that I put the bacon in the air fryer basket, set the temp at 355 and go for 7 minutes in the regular air fryer position.. Comes out very nice and crispy that way with semi-thick bacon. Fortunately I have not seen smoke come out of it and I have cooked quite a few things after this demo. Tomorrow I will be doing chicken wings for the first time in it. Looking forward to seeing how they come out. Prior to this I had the Cuisinart TOA-60 for 3 years and I find that when I use the same settings I used with that oven that everything comes out perfect.

You Can Cook Pizza on the middle rack while you have the grill grate installed on the bottom at 400 F for 20 minutes comes out great with no Turning Your Pizza set it and forget it! til it's done!

[@TheFoodExperience]

I honestly would not use the grill grate at all when baking a pizza. It's only supposed to be operated with Grill mode. Pizza normally is turned during baking. Same holds true when I have seen professional Pizza bakers make pizza. The real trick to it not getting his done in the back is not sliding it all the way towards the rear of the oven. I found that if I leave it just at the start of the wire rack almost against the doors is the perfect alignment.

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@Fletch8714 there's a good reason that the grill grate should not be left inside except when using Grill mode. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to leave it installed during airfryer mode since only the upper heating elements are used. However if a person wants to use the bake mode then the upper and lower heating elements are used. Only two of the four heating elements are used. That could cause potential damage and Warp the grill grate.

This oven will definitely burn things on presets and most recipes used as stated. I'm having a bakers steel made for this oven. I feel distributing radiant heat from those 1400 degree elements will help with uneven baking. We shall see.
