    So on the steak - probably pre-heat the oven to full temp and you'll get the searing effect. Judging from the chicken.
    For the fries - use way more oil to seal in the moisture, and more fries in the basket as it's really the air that's drying them out. Both those steps will make moist fries with a crust.

    For dehydrating you can use shelves and have them covered with slatted trays.
    For broiling a steak, you just need to pre-heat and then it would be ok.
    And for the potatoes, you actually could fit more in there. There just needs to be enough space for them to move around.
    I appreciate the video but I felt like the tester should be going in more neutral to the product rather than going in with the idea that it's not going to be working that well. And if there are things you don't like about it during the test, try seeing if there are simple ways to get what you want, rather than just writing it off as not good at that feature.

      Exactly to BOTH of these comments.
      She read the instructions about not preheating for the basket... I guess it says that honestly I havent used basket yet so havent botherd reading about it. BUT clearly did not read about preheating for literally everything else x.x Especially a steak good grief then compalins about no sear. I'm sure she does great on most gadgets but feel like she didn't click with how to use this thing. I got mine last week and am loving it.
      Also have not put a tray on top for anything, the apple chips had me cracking up lol.
      They may be a special case so not sure how I would make them though, but both trays on bottom for sure.
      Have used dehydrator for jerky though, and have to say I'm never buying store bought again.

      You soak the fries in water for 10 minutes before cooking and they come out perfect. And you can put more in the basket than she did. The main thing she failed to get across was with everything she cooked, it was done using much less fat than other methods. One of the main reasons for using an air fryer. I can again enjoy fries with out deep fat frying them. Rotisserie chicken is awesome!

I'm not great getting even cuts by hand so I bought the Starfrit PumpNSlice and am impressed with it. I hope it does as good a job on hard cheese and pepperoni like it shows on the commercial. I've also done sweet potatoes like the homemade fries. Saving lots of money that way. I was actually surprised at how much can fit in the basket.

    Thanks for sharing your video. I agree that the rotisserie is the best feature too. 2nd best is the rotating basket. I did my first chicken in it because I didn't have cotton string to tie it and it was amazing. I don't have a bbq so hotdogs done this in the basket are the closest to grilled. One word of caution is that you can only use a max 4 lb chicken with either function or you will eventually break the part that holds it. If the bird is bigger, you can put it in a pan on one of the cooking trays.
