I had both a paddle air fryer and the "standard" one and gave them bot away. For the volume that I eat only the Breville makes enough food in one batch. Plus the fact that living in the desert, I never use my oven as it heats up the whole house. The Breville not only preheats much more quickly, but it generates very little heat which is especial;y important today when it's going to be 120. You can make your fries just as crunch in the Breviile I assure you but because it's so much larger you need to increase the cooking time. You also have to move them around. If I knew how to attach a photo I could show you how crunchy they become. So much so, that we had a guest actually lose a crown on a Breville Air Fry. :)

[@WellYourWorld]

I was at your house eating Breville fries. Oh I know they get crunchy. But it does take some extra effort compared to the other air fryers. I agree on space, room temp and all those things. XOXO

[@CHEFAJ]

@@WellYourWorld No extra effort at all--just set it to the air fryer setting ♥️

[@dianamueller8515]

My only airfryer experience is with a Brevell air. I love that when I need to feed my crowd quickly I can slice raw potatoes into relatively thin rounds (not as thin as chips), put them in the air fryer and they come out so yummy that my family members, that are skeptical of whatever I make lately, love them!!

[@sn232]

But do they get crunchy without being super dark brown? Thank you for your comments Chef AJ :)

[@CHEFAJ]

@@sn232 They do get brown

[@draperbr]

I find the best way to make fries in the Breville is to cut the potatoes into fries, then boil them for 6 minutes. Then airfry. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Made some tonight, in fact!

[@bnggon9248]

[@Wanderlustwaltz]

Great video! Btw..“Potato Train-wreck “ should be a band name. 😂

[@jukeboxgirl244]

I have a Tefal Airfryer. If I have soft foods to fry, I take the spatula out, so there is no rotation. When it’s crunchy, you can either shake it or put the spatula back in.

[@gailsharratt3851]

Great idea, I'm going to try that!

[@lucindasutt7365]

Just my opinion. You need to turn your tray around half way thru in the Breville for Fries, and Country Fries

[@WellYourWorld]

Ya I think you are right, thank you!

[@yolandadunmore104]

I agree with Lucinda, either turning the tray or moving the fries in the Breville will help with the crunch. I have a Cuisinart air fryer and a good shake and spin helps me get even crunch and browning. Great idea about the mashed potato logs/fries. Will absolutely try that next time.

[@nnekervis1]

We have the Cuisinart and you do need to flip them. If you do that , it works great. We love it because of the ability to lay flat. We had a standard pull tray one but it just didn't have enough capacity. And yes, these do have to stay out but we use it for everything at this point. Thanks for the demo

[@yolandadunmore104]

Tirebiter same here I LOVE my Cuisinart and it is a part of my everyday life these days. It actually looks great in my kitchen with the other stainless steel appliances.

[@gianninal5455]

I wonder if it's your camera angle (height) that makes your Breville Smart Oven Air look so much more reasonable in size than ours? 🤔😅 We only recently learned that precooked and chilled potatoes make MUCH better fries in the Breville. I was never impressed with the air fries before then (but loved air fried tofu from it) but my life has been changed and I'm obsessed with air fries now.

[@lagarde2011]

They have an enormous kitchen with high cupboards. The Breville SOA Pro is huge and takes up way too much space on my countertop. I went with the regular SOA (not the Pro), which is smaller and does almost everything that the larger one does. Air fryer works fine and it's great to cook, bake, whatever without turning on the regular oven.

[@1101naomi]

I put “holey” parchment paper in my breville first before laying the potatoes on so there is no sticking. And though I have a separate air fryer it doesn’t make enough for my husband and I. So Breville it is. I turn the trays around halfway during cooking. Sometimes I play around with the temp but it’s typically 400 for 20min. We do eat them fresh out of the oven so they are crispy.

[@sherri.]

Thanks R&D! I have a Mealthy Crisp Lid for the Instant Pot. I thought about the Breville, but after seeing this I’m pretty satisfied with what I have. 👍🏼

[@WellYourWorld]

Oh cool, so you like it? I did see that product, but have not tried it.

[@KCallaAK]

I like my Mealthy but, I only cook for me. I especially love the grill mat cut to fit it. PERFECT for one person.

[@sherri.]

@@WellYourWorld I live alone so the Mealthy is perfect for one serving. The basket diameter is 8". I think it's pretty good but I don't have anything else to compare it to. Maybe you can be an affiliate and they'll ship you one! :-) Also, the Instant Pot now has an air fryer thingy, too.

[@andreawalker7138]

That was an interesting comparison, but I don't have any of those ( I have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer). The mashed potato fries seemed weird? And yet, I think I'm going to try them because...potatoes!! Yum.

[@sobellabg804]

The Breville can be found for MUCH less. It may retail for $399 but BBB has it on sale all the time and you CAN use the 20% coupon. I bought ours for $254 all in. As for making fries, ours always come out crunchy delicious. 400-425F on super convection for 20-25 mins And it does a great job of proofing dough for pizza and also dehydrating (making zucchini chips!). The fact that it’s not a uni-tasker is a big win for me.

[@orificium]

The 20% coupon from BB&B?

[@sobellabg804]

@@orificium yup. I get them all the time either in the mail or you can sign up online and they will send you one. They say that the coupon can’t be used for certain brands but I ordered the Breville for in-store pickup (pre-covid) and they let me use it, no questions asked.

@@sobellabg804 Their website says it's excluded from coupon. So did you pay for it ahead of time and then ask to use the coupon in-store when picking up? Also, how did you get it for $254 all in? It's at least $400 and then maybe $320 with coupon if they accept it, plus tax.

[@sobellabg804]

@@orificium I bought it a little over 2 years ago. I ordered it online for in store pickup. It was on sale for something like $299. All in with tax I paid $254.

Pre-cooked and refrigerated potatoes, cut in wedges, broil at 500 degrees for about 5 minutes, flip and cook another 5. Eat!

[@shellyswt]

This was so helpful! I’ve been contemplating an air fryer. The T-fal is appealing. Plus the price is right. The potato loaf was really interesting-will have to try. Thanks for the review!

[@WellYourWorld]

Glad you liked it!

[@d.rabbitwhite]

I needed this 2 weeks ago. I bought an instant pot duo crisp. It had the lowest heat out put of a few that someone tested on line. The breville was too expensive in Canada money, and Everything that oven does, I can, so far, do with the duo crisp, (with a fairly large learning curve for me, as I had to fiddle about with time and temp and settings). A few days ago I did pizzas and they turned out better than any I have done in the big oven (my apartment has an oven so large, my 5"6' 13 yr old fits inside, yes We did that, cuz I have been for some time trying to figure out why it is his big, and, you know corona boredom... Plus, I have now a pressure cooker that I can make lasagne and everything, so far. The heat up time can be annoying, but it is saving energy not having to use the stupid child cooking sized oven. I think I am nexr going to get one of those magnetic stove top plug ins, unplug my stove.oven and use it as a bread box, which it seems to excel at being. Any recommendations on small cook tops?

[@samv5475]

My air fryer has a wire tray that can substitute for the rotating paddle. It is about an inch above the nonstick surface, and it rotates around like the paddle.

[@KornRetard]

Yes! You can buy them for the Tfal actifry separately. Some models come with one.

[@susanwaterworth5622]

This makes me feel better about not having the Breville. Will try the mashed potato fries. Thanks.

[@mikeneron]

Instant makes an air fryer as well that has a rotisserie basket in it (the same company that makes the Instant Pot). I find the rotisserie does a great job of constantly moving things around since it's rotating so everything cooks very evenly. Only downside is if you want to put spices on the fries, they will just fall to the bottom catch tray so I just cook them plain now but because they come out so nice I don't need to add spices. I really only use it for making fries though but it can do other things kind of like the Breville and has a fairly large footprint on the counter.

[@Mmmelisssa]

LOVED this video! Also I think you talked me out of the Breville. 😂 I hadn’t bought it because of the price but space is a huge issue for me. I think I’m good with what I have. Thanks!!

I air fry on a cookie sheet in the oven. However, I have added the Breville to my Amazon wish list.

I used the Ninja XL Grill that has a air fry function... it heats up incredibly fast and does great wings and fries.

[@TheOnlyHalfline]

dont know about the breville but i have an instant omni plus, and one thing i learned about it is when air frying i get much better results if i put its black roast pan thing halfway up and put the air fry basket on top of that. makes the hot air fry air bounce back up without having to travel all the way to the bottom of the unit.

[@PlatinumSpirit]

Awesome video thanks for sharing this with us💕and yes it is definitely healthier! I have an AirFryer too and I like it so far so good 🤗

[@amywulfjohns7161]

Great job, you two! I have the Breville and find the airfryer to cook inconsistently (and I'm too lazy to move the fries around). However, if I 'roast' rather than 'airfry' at 425 it does a great job and the food tends to cook more consistently. Perhaps you could do another test using various cooking functions with just the Breville next time. ;)

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes, we should do that. I agree, I don't want to have to turn the fries. They should have figured that out already.

[@kwilsonnc]

Have you ever turned them? I'm considering buying this and don't mind turning them once, and would love to know if they turn out well in that case.

[@amywulfjohns7161]

@@kwilsonnc I have and I've also turned the rack around halfway through but if I just use the 'roast' function instead I don't have to babysit it so much and I can't tell a difference in the fries between the various functions. I do love the machine and recommend buying it but I wish the 'airfry' function worked better. Watch for sales and try using the Bed, Bath, and Beyond 20% off coupon (even though they say you can't many people have).

[@nastysmell]

I believe you can remove the paddle from the T fal. At least I could before I sold mine...shouldn't have done that! Now I have an Emerald but it would be nice if it was bigger.

I have a Ninja Flip air fryer/toaster oven/oven... which would be similar to the Breville. My favorite way to make potato is the smashed potato... Cooked leftover from the IP then squished and air fried... Also. Leftover sweet potatoes that are wedged and air fried are amazing because they get really sweet and crunchy. But I'm definitely going to try the mashed potatoes in there!!! I love mashed potatoes and never thought to do that. Thanks.

[@jacksonblack2776]

First

[@sn232]

The Breville oven's proof feature for dough works well, and the warm feature is nice when you are making a huge amount of pancakes and want to keep a plate of pancakes warm until everything is finished. Also fits a 9x13" pan in their easily. It does not heat up the kitchen as much as a large oven. Great for holidays when you need extra oven space for baking or roasting. Sadly the airfrying feature was not good enough to get rid of a huge airfryer gadget. The dehydrating feature is ok, still like a regular dehydrator better.

[@JustMe-ip2bd]

the tfal will probably work well with the mashed potato fries if you take the thing that turns out. I have 2 TFAls and a breville, love them all
