Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer. Rotisserie fail, Roast Successful

[@nombreapellido9038]

I LOVE your babies!! So cute!!

[@isitanygood7574]

Thank you kindly!!!

[@terrialbergotti374]

I loved your video....thank you for sharing! I encountered the same dilemmas that you did. It helped me to figure out how to make it work better! It was nice to see a true to life video. Hope I see more of your instruction videos. Cats are adorable ❤️

[@nombreapellido9038]

Thanks for making me laugh!! Watching that chicken spin was hilarious!!

[@isitanygood7574]

Thank you for watching lol... I'm glad to have shared some joy!!!!

[@shawnwarden321]

i have a Kalorik but subscribed because of your cats, mine hang out while cooking with the maxx, excellent machine! enjoy your videos, you have a good voice.. keep it up

[@isitanygood7574]

I thank you for you kind words. Ill keep going.

[@OceansideCreations_]

We did the same exact thing tonight! Took off rotisserie put in roasting pan put on air fry turned out amazing!

[@isitanygood7574]

Nice, nice! I'm thinking, seasoning is 50%, Kalorik is 40% and 35% love. Don't calculate... it's legit :)

[@icecycle9214]

What’s the temperature and for how many minutes? Ours is going to be in the pan instead of the rotisserie

[@JAHtony1111]

Gotta tie it tighter. Dont use dropping pan. Instead cover the bottom with foil, including the heating elements. I've done up to 6 pound whole rotisserie chicken on the maxx. Best ever.

[@isitanygood7574]

You clever cat! I like it, you basically made room that isn't really available. Perhaps I'll try this and see what it do.

[@vexedmum9389]

thats what I'm doing now. but the one side Leg side is slightly bigger and I do get an extra fast drop not much but it happens when it spins to the front side. will it reck the skewer or the motor?

[@pedrehabrn]

I thought I was an idiot with the rotisserie function thank you for having the same issue!

[@isitanygood7574]

Ohh, I'll stop you right there. You just a victim of this machines clear lack of communication skills. Yeah... I blamed an oven... lol

[@michaelkuhn4768]

Try again using 4 lb or smaller chicken and put chicken on rod and center as good as can with the prongs then truss chicken to the rod to center chicken weight to rod while tying legs and wings in place as close to body as possible. 20-30 minutes a pound at 350 degrees i usually cook 4 lb one thefull 1hr 30 minutes

[@ginabowers5575]

Chicken look's so good I'm starving now lol, I wish would make a roast because I'm cooking one tomorrow.Thank's for the video!

[@isitanygood7574]

Killing me Gina!! Enjoy!!

[@elizabethaych9170]

Is it easy to clean or is food getting baked on inside the walls?

[@sunnyvasic]

Made potatoes in the basket and they were delicious 😋

[@DC-kt4up]

The chicken you purchased was a roaster chicken and not a fryer. The fryer chicken is usually used for rotisserie in air fryers. Also the chicken needs to be trussed properly.

[@isitanygood7574]

All these things I did learn afterwords... so you guys got to watch an idiot do it for the first time. I also "purposely" denied myself any outside help in order to do this, the way I did. Sorry if it bothered ya.

[@missavakittytv]

YES please do with a smaller chicken. Im not even sure I have a chicken in my freezer thats small enough. I wanna try doing a roast on it. That chicken turned out great though. Made we hungry for chicken thats for sure. 😋

[@isitanygood7574]

Mission accomplished then. Thank you M. Ava K. To do list for sure :)

[@mikabell069]

I love my kalorik grill my only issue is if you you have two rotisserie whatever piece of meat that you're using it has to be from 1 to 3 lb or it will make the spit jump off of the track. I recommend always trusting the meatso you can draw it up close and that are also help the rotisserie spend correctly if you have the meat trussed tightly.

[@mikabell069]

Sorry. Sleepy. trynà cook for tomorrow.

[@isitanygood7574]

LoL, all good. I just showed you guys my novice attempts. We all have to start somewhere.

[@mikabell069]

I did a 3 lb prime rib as well. Let it rotisserie all night like 6 hrs at 180°. U have to set your phone or the alarm to 1 hour and 30minutes so you can check the temperature of your meat and also so you can restart the oven cycle. I wish I could send pics....

[@isitanygood7574]

I wish this piece of hardware was capable of a longer timer. LoL, reminds me of a Corvette with an egg timer.... I be like "really?"

[@mikabell069]

Did it for class

[@oldschool72]

You have to tie up the wings tight along with the legs for it to turn properly.

[@roberthart9886]

I have had a Kalorik for over a year. Crappy made (it leaks in the corners, the fake chrome on/off button peeled, the interior walls are cheap metal and hard to clean, the supplied drip tray is too heavy, meaning it takes a lot longer to come to temperature under the crisp basket...) , after months of drawn out series of emails, they finally replaced it, but I am going to sell it as new- unopened box and getting Emeril LaGasse French Door

[@isitanygood7574]

Dude, you gotta do what is good for RH!! All these things are true, we just use it so much, faq it lol... 😆

[@roberthart9886]

@@isitanygood7574 Me, too. In a recent review, I noticed they improved the OM eliminating the buttons, and adding 2 more heat bars. They sent me a replacement, but I had not opened it. Now I will to see if I got the new one, which is ~ $70 more, putting it very close to Emerils French Door model

[@AdamG2425]

Did oil leak out from the bottom of the oven on to your counter top?

[@mariongracemcminn212]

My husband did the rotisserie chicken for the 1st time last night. It turned out awesome. He used butchers twine to hold the wings and legs in place. He usually uses lemon and onion for the inside but I didn't had any lemon so he just used seasoning inside and out. It's tricky to put the twine on (we checked KZbin videos how to :-). ) It was a 4lb chicken. We posted in on FB for friends and family to see and it looked awesome. He used temp 400 and 50 min, and 10 rest. Good idea by another comment to use foil to cover the dripping pan, I didn't.

[@metaspherz]

Tonight I will rotisserie a 5.4-pound chicken. Between 5 and 6 pounds is perfect for the rotisserie spit. Any heavier and the bird gets too chubby to rotate without hitting the inside surfaces -- just like the above video. The roasting pan can take a 12-pound turkey so any size chicken will do. Just leave room for some root vegetables which roast nicely with the chicken.

[@mushdc]

How and when do you add the root vegetables?

[@pearlm2759]

Great Question. What did you add and when?

[@flowergirlabc123]

We are going to try a small chicken tonight. Hope it works. Not sure what to put underneath to collect the drippings so it doesn't drip onto the burner.

[@agentredhasretired5450]

Well, it looks good.

[@isitanygood7574]

LoL, yeah it was okay... I learned the hard way and post it for the laughs... 😃

[@b23gulf]

I just bought one of these bad boys ..I really appreciate your video ..I’m just gonna rotisserie Cornish hens ..lol ..I’m roasting a 5 poinsettia chicken right now .😎

I did a rematch with a cornish and ate all of her myself. This thing is nuts.

[@mariongracemcminn212]

@@isitanygood7574 My husband made a rotisserie chicken a bit over 4 lbs last night. Tightened the wings and legs with butchers twine and it went awesome, even with the tray in it. But will use foil on the tray next time for easy clean-up.

[@Garymayo]

I just ordered one from Kohl’s for $116 with two applied discounts. Going to replace my Bravo XL which I really do not like. Way too complicated controls. I wanted a all knobs unit but I like the features of the Maxx so I give it a try. $ for $116 not much at risk. Please try a smaller chicken, love your videos

[@flowergirlabc123]

That's an incredible deal! Haven't seen them under $275!

[@terrymoon2242]

Had the same issue with my first attempt at using the rotisserie may try a smaller chicken for it

[@jamiewilson6131]

Lol I was trying to see if others had the same problem as me. My poor bird was too big 😭 i just stopped the rotisserie function and am occasionally turn it on to flip to other side but can't have it stay on. Will definitely stick to using chickens no more than 4 lbs (and use twine) . I have it on the air fry function and its cooking nicely right now

[@roberthart9886]

That is a potentially useful comment. I wonder whether putting the bird in the rotisserie position, BUT, baking it would improve heat circulation around the bird

[@nja3224]

I had a 5.25 lb bird on the rotisserie, put on a dry rub, and man that as good or better than any store bought rotisserie. It was literally set and forget. However, I do suggest using butcher twine and truss that bad boy up.

[@ernestpereyra8100]

You can always try Cornish hens...😊

[@isitanygood7574]

Eventually I do. Actually from comments like this one. I googled Cornish Hens and ran towards Shop Rite lol... Thanks Erny!!!

[@chan58]

Man that chicken looks yummy! Thanks for sharing :-) Yes please try again with a smaller one maybe even a Cornish hen and also would love to see a roast of beef :-) My cat loves chicken too, we always give her a bit of our food as long as it is cat friendly :-)

[@isitanygood7574]

I'll look into the hen. Roast beef would only be for me in the house. If I try that, I'll have to be ready for a beef coma :)

[@mikabell069]

@@isitanygood7574 It's very good. Yields golden brown crust on ur chx, ànd the inside is juicy. I use Tony I catchers injectàbles to season my chicken and my turkey.

Did the same thing came out great roasted. I wish I could use a 8×13 dish in it. Just not wide enough 😟

[@channelldaniels594]

I did a 4lb on rotisserier,nota meat eater,i tried it with dry rub. So,me and the Cats became fat. It was so awsomely good. The dry rub was sensational nowait time, i did let it rest which made it perfect.

[@isitanygood7574]

It comes out very tender and juicy... ohh I still remember it :)

[@michaelkuhn4768]

Guys and gals i do two to three a month you have to make sure the chicken weighs 4 pounds or less. Insert the rotisserie rod then truss chicken to the rod to center it up so it doesn't hit burners. A 4 lb chicken takes full 1 hr and 30 minutes. Then use internal thermometer to see if done some need more smaller ones use less time then check temp. Enjoy!!! i use beer can chicken spice mix or my basic dry rub bbq spices

[@juliebezaire3132]

What temperature do you set it at?

[@flowergirlabc123]

I ALWAYS use a thermometer to check the temp of all my food. I've bought all my adult children a thermometer so they don't accidentally undercook their food especially poultry, pork.

[@brendaric6614]

I know yous all doing chicken in these particular vids but does this have kabob attachments...the other kalorik does...maybe this one?

[@moreknow8904]

Thank you! Your chicken looked "standard" but failed? And this oven ain't cheap. 😲

[@oscarfarley4104]

130 minutes for a chicken? Heck, spatchcock it and roast it in the oven for an hour

[@patricksimms3]

You have to tie the wings up also you can’t rotisserie with a pan on the bottom of it other than that it looks good you have to have clearance for it to spin

[@isitanygood7574]

I showed this to my mom... she laughed and said the same HAHAH! I don't research it so you guys can see me bumble :)

[@kevintimmis9432]

You need a pan underneath to catch the drippings or you will have flames you need to use a very small chicken 1-2 pounds to have the rotisserie to work

[@zhenya2630]

Yes please

[@chitownforextrader5984]

How many pounds was that chicken you cooked?

[@isitanygood7574]

6 Lbs. I'll try a Hen, next time and hope for success.

[@donschweitzer3045]

Did a 4lb. Squab cooked in less than 40 min. Doing another today will reduce cooking temp to 350 F. To delay Browning. First bird was perfectly cooked, did brine it.

[@isitanygood7574]

@@donschweitzer3045 what does squab taste like? Dark meat, white meat, tough, fatty, lean? So many questions 😅

[@Gilblaisdell]

You could have air fried it in the pan also. Debone bird into 1 piece of meat. Put in the net use the rotisserie.

[@isitanygood7574]

I suppose so, but before experimenting, I tend to try it out and see how the instructions lead me, then I put my fingerprint on it. I get what you mean though, I have made chicken outside of the kalorik and enjoy it via "pressure cooking". That my friend, is easy cooking ra'der!!

[@cloudgenerator5777]

Dude you bought a monster chicken get a 4lb (1.5kg)... it works great

I think it might be better to rotisserie a smaller chicken, and also use a meat thermometer

Buy Baking String and redo the chicken. How to is on youtube. good luck
