CHEFMAN - TurboFry 3.7qt Digital Air Fryer, Touch Screen Control, Dishwasher-Safe Basket - Black - Black

We’ve been wanting an air fryer for a while and we finally got one when it was on sale. It does exactly what it is intended for. Little to no oil is needed. We’ve done chicken nuggets, fries, black bean patties, roasted garlic, crab cakes, and reheated leftovers since we bought it! One thing I did notice was after washing it, there were signs of rusting inside the fry basket where the screws are. Aside from the rust, this air fryer is great!

I use this with most all my frozen foods, I will eventually do some real coming with this but until it's my fast frozen food cooker. I had the chance to buy a bigger one but didn't so my lost of extra food I could have put in it.

My friends have been raving about cooking Salmon in the air fryer and how juicy it was Just tried it today and I was NOT disappointed. I was very impressed

The TurboFry 3.7 Quart Air Fryer by Chefman is a residential sized air fryer with a digital display. It’s designed for countertop use, and is great for frozen foods. It is easy to use and to clean. Our experience with foods so far has been great. What It Comes With Inside the box you will find the air fryer, an instruction manual, and a recipe booklet. Using the Fryer The Air Fryer is really easy to use. Put your food in the tray, and load it into the fryer. Plug the machine in, set the temperature and timer, and wait. When the food is ready open it up and remove the food with tongs (you will want some of these as the basket and food will be really hot). It’s pretty hard to mess up. With the digital display you are not guessing about the time or temperature that you have set. Clean Up Clean up is easy with this fryer. Since it’s an air fryer there’s no grease being used, which makes clean up a lot easier. The basket can be hand washed or put in the top rack of the dishwasher. The rest of the unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Food Trials and Results We tried some frozen foods for our testing; chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. On our first attempt we tried the chicken nuggets. They turned out crispy on the outside and the meat was tender and juicy. Our next attempt was with frozen mozzarella sticks. They went from freezer to fryer, cooked in 8 minutes and were perfect. Both attempts cooked faster in the fryer than our oven could preheat. This is a huge time saver and works really well, especially with a toddler in the household. Tips for Using the Fryer For things like chicken nuggets, I’d suggest turning them half way through. This will prevent sogginess on one side of the nugget, giving it an even crispiness. Also, the manual suggests not to stack food. The food will cook better when it has even airflow around it. Stacking the food could result in an uneven heating. Here is a quick list of Pros and Cons for the air fryer Pros *Food Quality is good – Even crispiness on outside. Tender and juicy inside. *Fast – Cooked foods faster than I could preheat the oven. *Easy to Use – Very few steps. Digital display gives you accurate temperature and time selection. *Cleanup is Easy – Not greasy. Food tray can be hand washed or put in top shelf of dishwasher. Cons *Had some off gassing during the first use *Capacity is small – 2 people per use. Even less if you aren’t stacking the foods. I’m giving the Chefman TurboFry 4 stars because there’s not a way to give it 4.5. The only significant issue I have with the fryer is the amount of food that it can cook at once. We might benefit from a larger size. Otherwise, this air fryer does a wonderful job, it’s easy to use, and cleanup is simple. We are looking forward to trying more foods with this product.

Bought the item in June and hardly used it, the Teflon coating for the plate inside the basket is peeling off and there is rust started to form, will not recommend.

Ok, I'll admit it. I love fried foods. My heart, on the other hand, does not. So enter the air fryer. In general, they are designed to allow enjoying the same type of foods -- with less fat, grease and oil. The Chefman air fryer does just that. It does take a little longer to cook than using a deep fryer (thin-cut fries took 10 min. rather than a couple) or frying in a pan, but to me, that's an acceptable tradeoff for having a little healthier meal. I tried some basic fried foods I really like: corn dogs, burritos, chicken strips, and french fries . While it's not quite the same, I'm happy with the flavor and quality of the food that came out of the air fryer. If I spritzed them with a little oil, it's more baked than fried. If I coated them with oil and used a paper towel to absorb the excess, it was similar to what comes out of a deep fryer, though I suppose it's not quite as healthy. The controls are simple: set the temperature and the time. No programmability other than that, but it gets the job done. It takes up just a little counter space and is very easy to clean. Just let it cool, then take out the tank and the basket (any excess oil will drip through the vents and into the tank) and wash. These items are dishwasher safe. It comes with a 1-year warranty, but I can't speak for the durability as I've only used it a few days. So far though this air fryer works well and am quite happy with it, and certainly recommend it for those who want to enjoy traditional fried foods without all the grease and oil. Clam strips next!

That pretty much sums it up: Pretty cool little unit. Buddy of mine has sworn by his air fryers for years. I never really understood why, but now I understand. This thing is simple, quick, healthy and energy efficient, especially as compared to a full size home oven. First impressions: Pretty decent typical consumer grade. Certainly adequate for residential needs. Simple operation. Three pieces. Quite self explanatory. Plug it in, insert basket, adjust temp +/-, adjust time +/- and Start/Stop button. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. Quick note: There is no "On/Off" button. Plug it on, insert basket and it turns on automatically. Remove tray and it shuts off. Idiot-proof. Tossed some frozen fried shrimp in at 350 for 7 minutes and I had nice, crisp, hot shrimp. Would have taken 15 minutes at 350 in a standard oven. Saved time, saved energy thus saving money. Win, win, win. Same with cod filet's. For a busy family, this is a great time-saver. Clean up was simple. Basket and tray give a simple rinse and then into the dishwasher. The fryer itself, simple wipe with mild soap and sponge, dry with paper towel and you are golden. In all honesty, I looked for a reason to give this unit 4 stars instead of 5, but just could not find any legit reason. End of the day, I would certainly recommend to a friend.

I admit that I didn't use this to make any of the amazing looking food in the included receipt book, but it rocked everything I threw at it. I was a bit skeptical, but it proved to be quicker that a toaster oven, easier than a real oven, with results better than any microwave. Frozen french fries, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, and taquitos came out perfect. Hots dogs cooked quickly with great crisp on the skin - you can even toast the buns. This takes a lot less time than an oven and everything was crispy. There is no preheating and the non-stick tray just wipes clean. It is easy to use, my aunt who hates technology had no problem using the controls. You plug it in, put the food in the tray, and set the time and temperature. It stops automatically when the time is up. It isn't small, but the size is reasonable. It is lite enough to move easily, but doesn't feel cheap. It is also surprisingly quiet - barely audible over a normal conversation (we bought another air fryer from an infomercial and it sounded like a blow dryer, it went to Goodwill). It does get a little warm, you have to leave space around it (especially the rear vent). And you should plan on making smaller size items, where the air can circulate around what is cooking (like chicken nuggets not a whole breast or sliders not full size burgers). You also want to keep the batches reasonable (the tray is a circle about the size of a dinner plate). Not only would I recommend it, but I am buying another one for my mother-in-law so she can try it. It might even have found a permanent space on the counter next to the blender.
