Smart all home ovens have hot and cool spots. Also use a quick read thermometer to check doness on poultry.

[@tai.randomthings]

Agree. The thermometers were more to show the degree of variation you can expect. Like you said, quick read thermometer are super helpful. I did a 7 pound prime rib in this air fryer and it came out pretty good. Here is a link if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGOQm3WQhNOgp7M

Thanks Raymond. Reading always helps,. however, I was still concerned about starting a fire, having recently lost everything in one, thru no fault of mine.

Excellent review - particularly regarding the temperature differentials. I've never bothered to check any appliance for this, so I suspect it's a common situation and not just limited to this product. I'm most concerned about the heat on the outer surface - we have a small Cuisinart that is cool to touch on the top even when air frying.

[@tai.randomthings]

Thank you for your kind feedback. It does get pretty warm on the outer surface but I put my plates on top so it's like a plate warmer as well as keep my other food (already cooked) warm.

That Wellington looks fantastic!

[@tai.randomthings]

Thanks...but I cooked a rib roast and that came out even better!

Great video. I was wondering about the temp offset - I have the same machine. That is a HUGE Wellington!

[@tai.randomthings]

LOL, I didn't realize it until I tried to wrap the puff pastry. I had to use a second piece and then cover the seam with one of those strips. Thanks for watching the video!

[@simonzarate1248]

To cover the crumb tray, try taking out the crumb tray and place a sheet of aluminum foil just a bit larger than the tray and fold in the borders. You must be able to place the tray without problems. I wonder how well will fit a Lodge 5qt cast iron dutch oven inside of it? Placing the largest pan you can will be a really nice add to the video. I am still looking for the "perfect oven" but there is always one thing that disappoint me. I will keep checking this one and see if finally found the "Perfect One".

[@tai.randomthings]

After I made the video, I had the same thought as your suggestion. I put a pretty large glass casserole dish in there but a new problem I encountered was that the rack would only support 20 pounds +/- so the cast iron dutch oven may be too heavy. I think the unit could support it but would need to find a very sturdy rack that fits into the slots.

[@melaniephilipp8417]

I was able to put my 12” Lodge cast iron skillet in with the handle angled.

[@tai.randomthings]

@@melaniephilipp8417 did you notice any sag in the basket frame? I will be trying a 10# prime rib next...fingers crossed.

[@simonzarate1248]

Warning: Some oven do not support the use of aluminum foil, specially the ones with Air Fryer / conduction capabilities. So please be careful!

[@fjl1637]

I just bought this oven today at Costco...while reading the manual it says not to use aluminum foil...not sure why! That being said, parchment paper is a good alternative for both the crumb tray and baking pan!

[@Samsonabrams-or4gz]

can I use parchment paper instead of alum foil? Any other recommends? thanks, sam

[@tai.randomthings]

I use parchment paper for cookies in this air fryer

[@raymondshartrand2417]

Read the manual. It says you can.

[@richardtressler7748]

No interior light.

[@tai.randomthings]

Unfortunately no

[@raymondshartrand2417]

It’s so damn big,why need a light?

[@milkman1944]

Now $89 at WalMart.

[@timothydobay41]

Yep. Just bought but haven't opened yet.

[@gianm1064]

Yeah I just saw it. Just to note that's a 6 bread slice one and this costco one is the XL version for 12 bread slice. So it's much bigger if you need the size.

[@nilsyn747]

The door will leak heat.

[@tai.randomthings]

it definitely does not seal as well as the basket style but the trade off is you cook a lot more at a time.

[@tracybellmer2]

I got mine for 74.00

[@tai.randomthings]

WOW!!!

[@Lord_Nemesis8]

Beef Wellington or baked Isopod😂😂😂😂

[@Lord_Nemesis8]
