You outdid yourself on this one! Wow. I can't begin to tell you how enormously HELPFUL this was! I have one of these and rarely use my big oven anymore, but you gave me so many more ideas for the Oster. I don't like to under-utilize my appliances. The big oven is mostly used to store cookware nowadays.
*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*
I use my air fryer to make my son's frozen personal pizza. Takes 6 minutes on 400° f. Much better than microwaving it, and they totally need anything that will make them taste better. He's 9. Great review of this device. My toaster is dying and I want to have less on my counter top. Thanks.
Thanks for the review! I got mine at Costco today for $149.99. On sale until 11/21/21. I been so nervous as to if I bought the right one. After finding you and watching this...I CAN'T WAIT! Thanks so much for this
I think you'll love it and at that sale price, I can't think of a better bargain considering everything it does. Except for the lack of a rotisserie, it does everything I could ask for. Thanks for watching!
I got mine but it wasn’t crisping food no matter what I did for Christmas mine had the wing option not dehydrate but I love the concept they did replace it for me waiting for replacement I tried all different suggestions and everything but decided to call last week was mainly seeing who else had an issue with it not browning and crisping on air fry setting Can’t wait to try the new one when it arrives and hopefully have a good experience
I saw this oven on QVC and I ordered it at a great one time offer price. I really hope that it works exactly the way that it is advertised. But this is a great demonstration video!
I love oster ovens I've used oster ovens extra large for years but this is the first time buying the one with an air fryer. I didn't know I was getting one with a light and preheat which I love. I just used my oven today and I love the crunch it made my fries taste crunchy and good. so far I love this oven. I bought the black and silver.
Thanks! Great video! I really appreciate you having it unboxed and having read how to use it before starting to review. Your editing was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see how the oven handles the variety of food options. I really appreciate you sharing the video, as I know that it took hours for cooking and then editing, and it was so helpful for those of us considering this oven.
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it and also that some people like yourself realize just how much time and work actually goes into making a video like this. Thanks for watching!👍👍
@@AllAmericanMack I watched your video & pretty impressed I did notice at the 20 min time of your video you have a brown spot on your counter top on the right side of the door there wondering if it's from the air fryer or something else, cause I just bought my 1st ever air fryer & that concerns me a bit.
I wouldn't have been to happy if it had burnt my counter for sure 😆! Even with auxillery lighting it's very hard to get the lighting right so it doesn't create shadows.
@@AllAmericanMack I've been watching everything I can about them & it says on the box of mine "gets very hot" so I thought I better learn more about it B-4 using it. Your video was the 1st 1 I watched & thought that's what that was cause it kept getting darker towards the end till I rewatched the video again is when I noticed it was the door handles, so no I wouldn't be too happy either. So thank you for the video & the response back I cooked some bbqed pork steaks in mine & they turned out AMAZING & the taste was awesome.
I bought this air fryer oven because of the many features on it. Have had it about 7-8 months. Love so far. I saw a presentation of this somewhere, and they said the gap between the doors is designed on purpose to let air escape (vent). It does take up space but you can do so much with it. It can take many sizes of pans and you do not have to flip the items that you are air frying. Easy clean up.
Excellent review. Got mine at Costco for $150, on sale. Mine does NOT have a gap between the doors, but others who posted videos seem to a bit of a gap. As far as the cooking features, I've only had it going now for 3 days, and I've tried to cook as much as possible to give it a good "run through". So far, I am ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED..!! I cook toast on the suggested level 4. PERFECT TOAST..!! I cooked the wedge potatoes (using raw I cut myself, little olive oil, and the Knorr brand Onion Soup Mix on top). WOW.......excellent. I have not used Pizza feature yet, that's tomorrow. The convection mode is AWESOME. Cooked butterfly shrimp tonight. Perfect. French fries on air fry.......perfect also. So far, this has exceeded my expectations. Thank you for the review. You were right on the money as far as my experience so far. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OVEN. Great price. Skip the Emeril Lagasse stuff, I've had the XL and the newer, larger models, and they electronics both failed within 2 months. Was really disappointed in them. We've had a Hamilton Beach Convection oven for 12 years now, and we still use it. This machine just cooks things faster, and without as much prep.
Thank you. $150 is a great deal but I *always* seem to miss out on them lol. Even at full price, I'm quite happy with it and everything I've cooked so far. I just hope it holds up long term!
Great job with this video. Note: the instruction 'booklet' specifically says not to put foil on the bottom on top of the crumb tray because the reflection of the heat from the bottom rod will be uneven. I have the 11-in-1 oven and Iove it. It makes no noise when its on. I made a 9x13 cake yesterday and it came out perfectly.
You got instructions! I only got a list of foods with heating times. Had I gotten instructions I would have known about not cooking with paper and not start an almost fire. 😳
I just watched your video here. I recently got one of these. After you mentioned about the gap in the doors. i looked at mine, and there is about a 1/16 gap. I really did not feel a lot of heat escaping. The fryer works great and I am not complaining. Just wanted you to know that there is in fact some of these that do have a gap. thanks for the video.
take it from a 78 year old lady who has always bought Oster blenders and other products and it is pronounced Ahhster not ohster. Just bought it. I have a double oven at home but have to have my husband put pans in as I cant reach the upper on anymore and dont use the lower one.. I saw this a few years ago and decided to wait because of reviews. This one seems to have all the bugs worked out such as the larger gap in the doors. THe self supports are part of the walls and are sturdy. Love the way he cooked all those wonderful looking dishes. Cant wait till I get mine from Amazon. Thanks for the review. Eudice
I always thought that I had heard it pronounced with a soft O at the beginning also. After you've used it a bit, let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching!!
Got it and love it. Toaster function works great. 1/2 bagel frozen on 5. Italian bread on 4. Defrosted a frozen salmon in pastry dinner on 200* baking and reheated on 250. Perfect. Wiped off the coils before using and baked under an exhaust fan to get rid of odor and it did it fast. Going to make brownies next when I get my new 18/10 pan. Love that it is on my counter so I don’t have to ask my husband to put pans in the double oven as I can’t reach them.. it made no noise on turbo, didn’t get hot on the outside, did not have much heat escaping from between the doors. Love.the track on the grill shelf that holds the pan underneath to catch the drippings. So clever. So well thought of. Got all the bugs out and is easy to use. Love that when I open the doors to check the foods temp, the heat automatically shuts off so I don’t get burned. Turns back on when I closed the doors. So happy I watched your review.. thanks
I just purchased this Oster air fryer oven from QVC. Unpacked it today, and was a little intimidated until I just watched your video. It was really helpful with everything. I have only owned a Breville counter top in the past, but after watching your video, I’m happy I lurched it. I subscribed to your video and look forward to more. Thank you.
With very little counterspace in my Senior Apt, I wanted a toaster oven with an air fryer feature. I've had mine for about a month and couldn't figure out how to use the air fryer function....Thanks so much for an incredible video and explanations!!! Now I won't be a scaredy cat and give it a shot!!
I have the Oster French Door Turbo Convection Extra Large Oven (not w/Air Fry). I have a stainless steel wire basket I intend to try with this oven on either Turbo Convection or Dehydrate setting. Maybe carrot "fries", homemade sweet potatoe or regular fries. Hope it works! Happy cooking, kiddos!
So glad I watched this, have had mine OVER A MONTH (Costco $149.99) and the first day I burned bacon which set off the smoke alarm, and have been afraid to use it since. Now I feel more confident about using it, especially the air fryer. Those potato wedges did snap!
There's a slight learning curve but it's not too bad so don't be afraid to use it. I had never used a toaster oven or a convection oven before so I juat play around with the temps and time until I get it right. You can also write down exactly what you cooked, the temp, and how long it took in a nopepad or even your phone and have a quick reference for next time.
Great Review I'm here because I just bought 1 today got a great deal $49.99 +tax. Just under $55.. which I thought it was a steal. Can wait to start cooking in it...
Thanks for the extended version video 🙏🙏and for your time and the amazing dishes you made 👌you made me hungry so I went and bought this identical one and I absolutely love it. Thanks to you.😊😊😊
I have one of an earlier models, not air fryer. I live in a Mother-in-law Suite with kitchenette. No stove. I use an induction burner, microwave, and this oven. I have cooked turkeys, big hams, casseroles and pizzas. This is an amazing oven manufacturer. I use it several times a week and have for several years. The gap in doors has presented no problems for me. I want to upgrade, but my old one just will not die even after 8 years of use!
I'm in love with my Oster, I've had it for years. I just want another one just Because of the stainless steel. Pay no attention to negative Nancy's, Get this machine or one like it. Some people over explain. The only issue you will have is cleaning it if you don't cook in foil wrap. Or, cover what's cooking. You Will Love This Machine. I don't even use my Stove Oven. I cook everything in this machine. Everything. I brought mine off QVC. When I 1st saw it.
I completely appreciate you taking the time to show all of this! This (for me) would be a big purchase and I don’t want to buy something like this that just won’t work. I too like the French door feature. I love that the air fryer works well (less oil). I like that you gave us several different food scenarios. Thank you for recording this!! Video is the best kind of review!
You obviously know your stuff when it comes to these air fryer appliances. Do you know of one similar to this Oster that you reviewed that isn't as large. My counter tops are only 2 ft in depth.
You're being too kind lol! I'm no expert but I will say that I really like the Kalorik and Ninja Foodi models. Kalorik make several models and different sizes. I also really like the Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 but it's hard to find although they were on QVC a little while ago and they flip up to save counter space. I haven't reviewed either of them (my wife won't let me get another air fryer for a while lol) but I personally would choose between those two.
This looks interesting. I would suggest that you use a pizza pan or stone and leave it in the oven to preheat before putting the pizza in - will give you a better bottom crust.
My landlady gave me one and it's sat dormant for 6 months. As a 62 yr old man I've gotta admit I've never heard of this type of kitchen appliance. It's so versatile that, that in itself is kinda overwhelming.
I agree, it is kind of overwhelming because there are so many functions and they don't provide very good information as to cook times for each function. I did find however that once you start using it, it becomes pretty easy to figure out what temperature and function to use for various foods, it just takes a little getting used ti. But once you do, you'll probaly love it.
What a great video review! I just got mine from Costco yesterday ($149.99 until 12/29/21) and I brought in two of my bread pans to make sure they would fit and that there was plenty of room for them to brown correctly. I have a much smaller Oster toaster oven and it did bake the bread but I could only fit one loaf pan in sideways and it was so close to the top heating element that it always burned the top crust unless I put aluminum foil on halfway through baking. This is my second oven and very excited not to have to bend over and take thing out of my Whirlpool range. Costco customer service said that some folks brought the oven back because it was too big for their kitchen space. I did see the specifications online but brought in a tape measure to make sure it would fit on my standard 24" deep countertop. It is about 17" deep but when the french doors are open they extend to 23" but still not past the end of the counter. This is a very usable size and excited to use it very often.
The size was the main reason I bought it. I know it will be too large and take up too much counter space for some people but I really like having the ability to almost completely replace my conventional oven. Thanks for watching!
Great Video. I was looking at this OSTER model for a few years now, when I first saw it at my local COSTCO. I fell in love with the French Door aspect of it. And my Sister couldn't stop teasing me about it. I had a small air fryer given to me by a co-worker, who decided to go for a larger model. But the handle rotten away. And I couldn't find a basket replacement for it. I'm still sticking with my OSTER Countertop Convection Oven. Over six years later, and it still performs like a champ. I just purchased a baking pan with rack set recently. And that combo has been giving the oven an air-frying capability.
That's good to hear that your Oster is still good after all that time. This was the first Oster brand appliance and from what I knew of them, they make quality items. Where did you find the rack set? I did some searching and didn't couldn't find anything.
Thank so much! I just bought 1 from Costco & 2 of the pans were labeled as being #2 on the diagram + directions weren’t thorough, so this will help with my setup.👍🏾
I have had a Kalorik for over a year. Crappy made, 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
For the fish you should have used the turbo convection option. That would have cooked them and got them really brown well. I usually just use that option over baking unless it's something that specifically calls for just the bake option and not convection
Thank you for such a nice review. I was not in the market for one but I found mine the day after Thanksgiving at a shop in town. It was only $49. I couldn’t pass that up. So I’m keeping it on my island right now just trying out different things to see if I wanna keep it. So far so good
I just got one of these, and am looking forward to using it alot. I get the home delivery of gourmet meals and cook up a storm. Its just for two people, but I hate starting up my oven especially in the summer, so this will be perfect. Only thing I didn't like is no manual or some receipes to try, as some people, as I, really don't know how to use the air fryer or convection oven option. Hoping to find more info on TH-cam to help. Now my big oven will, as others said store items too big for my cupboards. Thank you for the help.
I got a very similar looking model, by same brand, from Wal-Mart last Christmas sale for about $75. Love it. It appears to have same features for less than half the price.
Tky for the video. It helped so much. I used foil to prevent really awful cleanups even though the meager directions said not to. It worked fine and made clean up for chicken wings much easier. I don't want to think of the burned on mess that I would have dealt with if I hadn't covered the crumb pan with foil. I rubbed avocado oil over the air fryer grill before adding the chicken wings, and it helped clean up. There is a steep learning curve, but so far, everything I have tried has come out edible.
Good idea about applying oil to the grill before cooking, I didn't even think about that. Overall I'm very satisfied with it and glad I went with this one over others I was considering. Thanks for watching!
Great review sir, I have the same kind except mines not digital. I've only had it 2 weeks and so far I like it from looking some of your meals I'm learning something new everyday. Thank you and have a great day.
Never had a oven that would cook both pizzas even. I cook them at 450 for 15 minutes, then I reverse the racks and cook till almost black because that is how I like my pizza. Usually takes about 25 minutes but I get a more even cooking result by switching them half way. I think the only perfect portable ovens I have used have been the 30 amp version, which most homes don't have a 30 amp plug for a convection oven. Plus I like them cause they go higher than a regular oven. I like Pizza hut thin and they cook their pizza at 700 degrees but I know the owner and looked at the plug it is a 50 amp.
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure how much difference there really is between the air fry and convection functions but I doubt it's much if anything. Hope you enjoy it!
Love this oven! I just wish it had a rotisserie option. Waiting for that before purchasing. I love the french doors. I currently have one with the door that opens down and all sorts of crud gets stuck where you can get to it. Thank you for your awesome review. :)
I agree that it would be really nice if they added a rotisserie to it, I think it would be the perfect air fryer. I'm kind of surprised they didn't since it seems to be such a highly sought after function so hopefully they will. Thanks for watching!
They’ll eventually release one with rotisserie in due time, but it gives them a way to keep getting you to buy. They just released another one, which will come to market around December 21st. The newer version allows you to sear.
Elite has a non-digital model that has the rotisserie. The fans do not do much. You have to hold a feather up to the fan to see if it actually blows air. It is the same setup and about the same size as the oaster. Look at the position of the fan. On both models they are on the right side, so the right side of pizzas are crisper than the other.
BTW it's 'Oast-er' like 'coast', not aw-ster like Costco. I've been collecting blenders since the sixties when the Oster family still owned the company. I have the $400 Breville Smart Oven with the air fryer function. I virtually never use it--why? Too hard to clean, particularly with food with crumbs. I also own the Instant Pot 8-quart Duo Crisp pot and also the Instant Vortex Plus, both of which I prefer. This is a great review--thanks!
Good point. For me, one of the bigger points is not having to heat up the house with with my regular oven but it does take up more valuable counterspace than a regular air fryer.
I'm using this oven way more than I thought I would. I had a amall toaster oven and also the other air fryer but I really like how large and versatile this one is. Good to hear yours is holding up and hopefully I'll get quite a few years out of this one. Thanks for watching!👍
I liked that you cooked different things. I was co-wrote curious as why you used aluminum foil on your Crumb tray and baking tray for a few things. You gave the best examples of it’s functionality. I’m trying to figure out which kind to buy. Yours was the best video. Thank you
I have the old one with the dials instead of touchpad. It works just fine. I use it outside in the hot summer so I don’t have to use my big oven and heat my already hot house.
I bought NINJA foodie XL pro oven for $300 & is well worth it , is really good & loaded , also they have Double baskets airfyer my friend bought his really happy with it & also , also they got REALLYYYY nice one call Ninja Grille/Griddle pro , i love that one 2 is really good ....this one U bought is nice , bought it year and half ago from Costco for $150, ya mine don't have the airfryer , the rest is same but is Huge unit
This was great! Thank you so much for how thoroughly you describe and show the different settings/products. I was especially interested in the air fryer portion of your video. I was also wondering about using ceramic cookware in this oven and appreciated you showing that it can be done! I bought this for its air fryer function, replacing my previous Oster French Door Oven. I used my previous toaster oven for everything during the hot summers and found it a good tool in my kitchen. I am surprised that you used tinfoil--I thought different places advised against it. Again, thank you!
Just got the Oster TSSTTVFDDAF from QVC. I don't know if it was me or the oven, but I found that setting the clock SUCKED !! I'm hoping that's NOT a bad omen, because I'm really looking forward to using this air fryer.
Cool, great video. I just bought a very similar model, TSSTTVFDMAF. It's appears the only difference is that mine has knobs rather than digital buttons. Looks like I'm gonna be pretty happy with the purchase, and expect common oven directions with possibly a few extra minutes cooking time and some extra supervision.
Thank you so much for your review. I actually bought one today the exact one you have. Im curious how it would bake a cake. Thanks again I enjoyed watching your video!
I’m not really sold on an air fryer and still skeptical about it because I put french fries in my toaster oven for 25 minutes at 425F and I don’t use any oil and they come out good
The real advantage to air fryers is that they cook faster but I would say if you're happy with the toaster oven to just stick with that. My parents have both and they use the toaster oven much more.
You can access the complete user manual by entering model number and words user manual. It pulled mine right up. It is very detailed. Joe. Nice video btw.
O ster... The Big O on the label says it all, lived a mile away from the original Oster office in Whitefish bay Wisconsin years back. I have had the original non air fry version for about 4 years now. It's excellent but they should have worked on a soft close by now. Once and a while it will snap close on you and you could get burned in the action. Nothing breaks which is a good thing but they should do better. Things don't spill down onto a glass which is a huge plus. Inside width is 15 and 1/2 inches which is important for baking pans. Honestly nobody out there really makes what I would be looking for in a toaster oven. Porcelain coated like a "Real" oven would come to mind as the inside finish of these ovens today becomes less then desirable a year or two later. Just some thoughts.
I believe the instructions did say rotate the positions (bottom to top and top to bottom) of the pizzas halfway through cooking when baking two pizzas.
I got one of these and to be honest I don't fire up the large oven anymore. I did find out the hard way that a 16' pizza doesn't fit even with the round back. Mine has a slight hotspot at the back right. I love this thing even with its quirks.
You are so right about the manual it does not talk about how to bake a chicken or how to slow cook a chicken it was mainly all about air frying. your review has been right on so far. And I guess with the doors, a lady talked to me about it at the store who bought it and said the gap between the doors doesn’t happen immediately but with more use. maybe that’s why you and I both do not have that problem and hopefully it doesn’t happen for us. Also I am with you on wanting to have the rotisserie part for the chicken I was really dead set on. Then I saw this on sale and I saw it a week later with it in a lot of peoples carts. You may have a lot of people tuning into your video here. Ty
I'll definitely keep an eye on the doors to see. I guess if the gap doesn't really affect the function it wouldn't matter but I'd rather not have it lol. Yeah, I had my heart set on a rotisserie but I just keep telling myself that since I didn't get it this time, I'll get it on my next one!!
I have the older model without the air fry, but I still love it. I was thinking about replacing it with the air fry model, so I’m glad to see this video on it. I want the red one from QVC. But I never use the bake tray without protection. A sheet of aluminum foil.
I saw the colored models from QVC when I was looking them up and would have chosen the either the black or more likely the red one if I had a choice. I found out after a couple uses that the finish was getting marred on the bake tray. It didn't look like it was coming off on the food but I certainly didn't want to take any chances... you would think I should have known better! I'm going to mention that in the next video though. Thanks for watching!!
The company said the gap between the doors is designed that way---Hi COMPUTIAC! The slight gap between the doors is designed on purpose to allow proper air circulation when using the turbo convection bake option. There is really no heat loss.
Thank you so much for this video. My sister just sent me one I do have a cabinet on top it's about 4 in from oven I hope it'll be okay but I really needed to see somebody actually using it. I did get the cookbook which is helpful
Have you had any issue with the heat and the top cabinet? I received one at Christmas and haven’t opened it because all my counter space is covered by cabinets
I was supposed to do more videos with it cooking some other items but due to some personal issues wasn't able to do it until now but cakes and cookies are on the list!
Hi Mack, I don't know how I missed this video. TH-cam is really flaky with notifications. Thank you so very much for the shout out. Greatly is appreciated! I'm pretty sure two pizzas could be cooked in the Maxx at the same time because it has five different levels for food to be cooked on. I do love the rotisserie on the Maxx. They have a newer version called the Maxx Grill which looks really nice because they have a steak tray that sits on top of the bottom heating elements to cook steaks and other items at 500°. The Oster air fryer oven does look pretty decent though. When cooking wings with the Oster I would recommend putting the bake pan in the rack at the bottom just below where you had the wings. That way it will catch any drippings and they don't go under your heating elements. All in all looks great though.
I get the same thing happening with the notifications. It's frustrating to go to a channel and see like 8 videos that youtube didn't bother to let me know were posted. You make good videos and really it's where I first saw the Kalorik so you deserve a shout out, more people need to see your content. Like I said in the video, I was sold on the Kalorik until I ran across the Oster and honestly, I almost passed up because it *didn't* have the rotisserie. In hindsight, I am glad I got it (but I still want a rotisserie😡 lol) but maybe in the future I will get one. I haven't seen the Maxx grill but I will check it out. It sounds similar to the Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 I saw on QVC for the last week that has a searing plate that sits on top of the bottom heating element. You're right about putting the pan at the bottom, the manual says not to use foil in it, which of course I did, and there was no shortage of comments letting me know I did something wrong lol. Thanks for watching!👍👍
@@AllAmericanMack lost all the air fryer manuals State not to use foil. I think it's just to cover there butts though. So long as the foil is weighted down and not loose and not in danger of touching the heating elements then everything should be fine. A lot of manual State not to use parchment paper either. Can't tell you how many times I've used that. Really appreciate you with the shout out, and the kind thoughts. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Great review! It helped answer some questions for me. I was paying attention to how you use foil in it. We just bought the model before this one. The only difference I can see is that we have to turn knobs instead of pushing buttons. The worst thing we have cooked in it are hamburgers. Used the air fryer and the cooking chart in the owners manual. It splattered all over the inside and also on the heating bars. Took a while to clean. I don't think I hurt the machine by using a combination of hot water, dawn soap and white vinegar. Will say this combo worked great on the glass french doors. Last night we sliced up some russet potatoes and air fried them and they turned out great. Does anyone know of a great website for recipes using this machine? We have been looking all over the internet and most websites are for the basket fryer and the ones that have an oven similar to this one does not have much more than a review. Would really like to know how others are keeping their machines clean. Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks for this! I have been eyeballing this machine for a couple of weeks as a replacement for my current standard air fryer. I've been a little hesitant because while it has lots of features, I don't want to compromise the results of my traditional air fryer. That's the main function I'm likely to use. Anyone who has one of these or similar, do you feel it does as good a job as the regular style of air fryer? I don't want to give up that unique cooking machine for what is basically a counter top oven...if that makes any sense?
That makes a lot of sense and will tell you from my personal experience, it does exactly what any other air fryer does. I've personally owned the PowerXL, Gourmia, and Sur La Table air fryers and don't notice any difference in how this oven air fries compared to the others.
Great review, thanks for that. Has anyone tried this oven for baking bread? Is it large enough for a rustic boule? Will it burn the top or bottom of the bread before it is cooked due to proximity to heating elements? Is the heat steady once it reached temperature? Thanks.
Love the review. Just ordered this as today's special from QVC because my gas wall oven died so figure it will do for the 2 of us for now. QVC has a recipe chart and cooking chart to download.
Knowing the temperatures and times on the baked chicken et. al. would be nice. I want to try to make dinner for my family a couple times a week, and we have this device. The only problem is all I know how to cook deliciously is breakfast. So any help is great.
It took me a week to do all the cooking to make the video and when I was done started editing it, it was way too much footage to include in a single video and keep the time reasonable so I ended up cutting out a lot of it only for that reason. I don't know if I have any of the raw video left because I had one of my hard drives crash and lost a ton of already posted videos and many videos I made that had not been edited and uploaded yet.... a real bummer. I'll look and see if I have the original footage and if I do, I'll make a shorter video showing the times and temps I used. Although I haven't made many more videos with it, I'll include that information in the future. The truth is, that video was just such a monster to get edited, I just didn't think about including all the info.
Mine came with a catch pan, but I think I might have that other model without the air fryer. Catch pans are pretty cheap tho, and they save on cleaning up.
i got mine on amazon about 3 or 4 months ago for $250 plus $21 tax. i hardly ever use my stove anymore. i love it! i think you should read the instructions because putting the foil on the bottom of oven is a fire hazard. you can use foil just to cover whatever you are cooking, but that is all.
Bwtween this air fryer oven and my Blackstone indoor griddle, about the only thing I use my stove/oven for are some things that just have to cooked in a pot. I appreciate the concern about using aluminum foil in the oven although it's not a fire hazard since aluminum foil doesn't melt or catch fire until above 1220°. The manual says using it can cause overheating of the oven and while it does seem odd that a single sheet of foil laying on the bottom would make any difference, I don't want to take any chances so I won't be using it anymore. Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks ! That was super. I brought that exact Oster French Door Air Fry Oven a few months ago & your video was a real gem to have watched. I was very disappointed that the little pamphlet that came with this oven is called a User Manual. It is terrible as far as how to cook stuff. Have you found a resource where I can purchase a comprehensive cookbook that would provide much more detail re: time, temp, etc for baking, broiling, air-fying, convection, etc. to cook all those items your video seemed to speed through without info (eg., Baked potatoes & chicken ?) Thanks again- Jimmy D
There's a few problem with the French Door AirFryer/Oven. Watch out for the VERY HOT Doors. The regular AirFryer has the handle that's not directly exposed to heat. Unfortunately my Kalorik Air Maxx doors was very hot burnt my knuckles when the door closed by itself when i had it half opened.
Use Lawry's seasoned salt &/or pinches of paprika, if u want browning -- works great in a pan & works pretty well too cooking in a reg. stove oven (baking)
You had the top pizza too close to the burners. However, one will still cook faster, just not that much faster. I like the oven. The french doors on some are flushed while others have a very small gap. Not a game changer though. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Does the outside get extremely hot? What setting did you have it on was it air fry or bake you should have used bake! I learned that the hard way. Also brush the bottoms with a small amount of oil would crisp crust.
Good points! I've gotten a little better with figuring out which setting to use. Yes the outside does get very hot! Even with that I find that it doesn't really have an issue making the areas around it too hot. When it's sitting on my kitchen cabinet it doesn't make the back or side wall or the cabinets above it very hot so there's no issue with that. One side benefit is that you can sit something on top and use it as a warming tray.
My doors have a fair gap and the one other thing I dont like is the timer shutting the unit off my other unit didnt do that which is nice to set timer to turn food or just check and see if it is done without the unit shutting down and having to restart all over again.
You're right about the timer, maybe a pause button would be nice. I would guess that it's a safety feature but I agree that I want to choose when to turn it off.
Mine when on Bake function makes a tapping, kathunking sound as if the metal is expanding. Im wondering if this is normal . And wondering if anyone is experiencing this noise. There is barely any noise on air fry or turbo setting.
Mine does make those noises also. I haven't noticed which settings do it or if all of them do but from what my experience with it has been and what I've read, I do believe it's normal... at least with this model.
Thank you so much. Yes no details on the description of this product. Thank God I found you! I have one question. Does the drip tray go above the heating rods? It fits well when I put it above. That way the Rods won’t get the drip. What do you think?
I can see the size being an issue for some people who don't have the space but I wanted a large one and this one fits the bill nicely. I agree with you, I really like it and am using it a lot more than I thought I would. Thanks for watching!👍
It has become my second favorite kitchen appliance next to my Blackstone E-Series griddle. I actually made the video about a month ago and have used it a lot since then and would highly recommend it as long as you have the space to put it. Btw, QVC also has them in the additional colors of black and red. Thanks for watching!
Very good review and explanation of what you cooked. All looked like the are done well. How hot does the top get? Can you put a baked or grilled etc on top for a few min to keep warm?? I am a widow and heating the regular oven seems silly for the very small servings I do. I ordered this to use in place of the large oven. Thanks.
Thank you. The top does get pretty hot and although I haven't tried to, I think it would be good to keep food warm. I completely agree about the regular oven, I live alone also and almost never use it anymore.
Did you notice a loud popping noise when heating up or cooling down? I assume it's the metal inside expanding and contracting but notice a few reviews complaining about it. Deciding between this and the Cuisinart @ Costco.
It does make the popping noise sometimes and I agree it's just the metal expanding and contracting. It seems to do it more sometimes than others although I haven't found any connection between the popping and the different settings. I don't personally find it much of big deal and after the first time I used it and it happened, I really don't pay much attention to it. I can't comment on the Cuisinart since I've never used it but have been 100% happy with the Oster.
May I ask, I saw you used foil on very bottom of oven for some stuff and the you had foil in pan for enchiladas. Did it all work fine? Directions recommended not to use foil. I just got mine. Outstanding video. Following
Thank you. I've been using foil in it for over a year now without any issues, both on the crumb tray for easier cleanup and over some foods when necessary.
I noticed that the videos towards the end show aluminum foil over the crumb tray. Is that just for easier cleanup or is there another benefit? Thank you for explaining the preheat. I was wondering why it seems to stay on 'Pre" forever, I didn't know that the beep meant that it is up to the correct temperature.
I do use it to make cleanup easier. The manuel does say to not use foil in the oven because it can cause it to overheat. There is a lot of metal inside the oven already so I'm not really sure how a thin sheet of foil would make any difference but I have been using foil in it for a very long time without any problems.
I noticed you used the same baking pan are you able to use other baking dishes. Also, when you open the door the timer kept counting down. You had lined the bottom tray with foil but you said that under the bottom tray the heating elements are very hot. Would that be a concern for the foil might catch fire?
I don't see any reason why other baking pans wouldn't work as long as they fit. The timer will still run with the doors open unless you pause or cancel it. The manual says not to use foil in the oven because it could cause the oven to overheat although I can't see any reason why a thin piece of foil would make any difference. Aluminum foil doesn't catch fire until above 1200° so I don't think that shouldn't be a problem and during some of my cooking the foil on the bottom was touching the heating element and it didn't even melt. It's worth mentioning that I was using Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil because I've used cheaper, thinner brands ( like from Dollar Tree ) that have melted onto food.

You outdid yourself on this one! Wow. I can't begin to tell you how enormously HELPFUL this was! I have one of these and rarely use my big oven anymore, but you gave me so many more ideas for the Oster. I don't like to under-utilize my appliances. The big oven is mostly used to store cookware nowadays.
Thanks for sharing this , how long have you had this oven , by the sounds of this comment your happy with it
*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*
someone let you post a link in a comment? Super rare my friend to see this.
I use my air fryer to make my son's frozen personal pizza. Takes 6 minutes on 400° f. Much better than microwaving it, and they totally need anything that will make them taste better. He's 9. Great review of this device. My toaster is dying and I want to have less on my counter top. Thanks.
Thanks for the review! I got mine at Costco today for $149.99. On sale until 11/21/21. I been so nervous as to if I bought the right one. After finding you and watching this...I CAN'T WAIT! Thanks so much for this
I think you'll love it and at that sale price, I can't think of a better bargain considering everything it does. Except for the lack of a rotisserie, it does everything I could ask for. Thanks for watching!
Me too...... I just got mine ..... have the same feeling....... Thanks for the video it's helpful !
Amazon is about 300!!!!!!
I got mine but it wasn’t crisping food no matter what I did for Christmas mine had the wing option not dehydrate but I love the concept they did replace it for me waiting for replacement I tried all different suggestions and everything but decided to call last week was mainly seeing who else had an issue with it not browning and crisping on air fry setting
Can’t wait to try the new one when it arrives and hopefully have a good experience
May I ask you got it at Costco in the US or Costco Canada?
I saw this oven on QVC and I ordered it at a great one time offer price. I really hope that it works exactly the way that it is advertised. But this is a great demonstration video!
Thank you, I think you'll enjoy it. I'm still using mine with no issues.
I love oster ovens I've used oster ovens extra large for years but this is the first time buying the one with an air fryer. I didn't know I was getting one with a light and preheat which I love. I just used my oven today and I love the crunch it made my fries taste crunchy and good. so far I love this oven. I bought the black and silver.
Thanks! Great video! I really appreciate you having it unboxed and having read how to use it before starting to review. Your editing was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see how the oven handles the variety of food options. I really appreciate you sharing the video, as I know that it took hours for cooking and then editing, and it was so helpful for those of us considering this oven.
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it and also that some people like yourself realize just how much time and work actually goes into making a video like this. Thanks for watching!👍👍
Thank you both!!
You’re the best reviewer I’ve seen so far for any air fryer.
Thank you so much for taking so much time to do this.
Thank you for watching and taking the time for the kind words!
@@AllAmericanMack I watched your video & pretty impressed
I did notice at the 20 min time of your video you have a brown
spot on your counter top on the right side of the door there
wondering if it's from the air fryer or something else, cause
I just bought my 1st ever air fryer & that concerns me a bit.
Never mind, it's the shadow of the door handles.
I wouldn't have been to happy if it had burnt my counter for sure 😆! Even with auxillery lighting it's very hard to get the lighting right so it doesn't create shadows.
@@AllAmericanMack I've been watching everything I can
about them & it says on the box of mine "gets very hot"
so I thought I better learn more about it B-4 using it.
Your video was the 1st 1 I watched & thought that's what
that was cause it kept getting darker towards the end till
I rewatched the video again is when I noticed it was the
door handles, so no I wouldn't be too happy either.
So thank you for the video & the response back
I cooked some bbqed pork steaks in mine & they
turned out AMAZING & the taste was awesome.
I bought this air fryer oven because of the many features on it. Have had it about 7-8 months. Love so far. I saw a presentation of this somewhere, and they said the gap between the doors is designed on purpose to let air escape (vent). It does take up space but you can do so much with it. It can take many sizes of pans and you do not have to flip the items that you are air frying. Easy clean up.
I got the Oster 11-1 for Christmas. It's great. It does everything; bake, air fry, convection, pizza, wings, etc.
I own the Oster Designed for Life TO. It's a convection toaster oven like yours but it's a 6 slice model. It's perfect for me and my small kitchen.
Excellent review. Got mine at Costco for $150, on sale. Mine does NOT have a gap between the doors, but others who posted videos seem to a bit of a gap. As far as the cooking features, I've only had it going now for 3 days, and I've tried to cook as much as possible to give it a good "run through". So far, I am ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED..!! I cook toast on the suggested level 4. PERFECT TOAST..!! I cooked the wedge potatoes (using raw I cut myself, little olive oil, and the Knorr brand Onion Soup Mix on top). WOW.......excellent. I have not used Pizza feature yet, that's tomorrow. The convection mode is AWESOME. Cooked butterfly shrimp tonight. Perfect. French fries on air fry.......perfect also. So far, this has exceeded my expectations. Thank you for the review. You were right on the money as far as my experience so far. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OVEN. Great price. Skip the Emeril Lagasse stuff, I've had the XL and the newer, larger models, and they electronics both failed within 2 months. Was really disappointed in them. We've had a Hamilton Beach Convection oven for 12 years now, and we still use it. This machine just cooks things faster, and without as much prep.
Thank you. $150 is a great deal but I *always* seem to miss out on them lol. Even at full price, I'm quite happy with it and everything I've cooked so far. I just hope it holds up long term!
Great job with this video.
Note: the instruction 'booklet' specifically says not to put foil on the bottom on top of the crumb tray because the reflection of the heat from the bottom rod will be uneven.
I have the 11-in-1 oven and Iove it. It makes no noise when its on.
I made a 9x13 cake yesterday and it came out perfectly.
You got instructions! I only got a list of foods with heating times. Had I gotten instructions I would have known about not cooking with paper and not start an almost fire. 😳
You got the list I need and all I got was the instruction on setup and some other limited information. @@camillatiptire5691
I just watched your video here. I recently got one of these. After you mentioned about the gap in the doors. i looked at mine, and there is about a 1/16 gap. I really did not feel a lot of heat escaping. The fryer works great and I am not complaining. Just wanted you to know that there is in fact some of these that do have a gap. thanks for the video.
take it from a 78 year old lady who has always bought Oster blenders and other products and it is pronounced Ahhster not ohster.
Just bought it. I have a double oven at home but have to have my husband put pans in as I cant reach the upper on anymore and dont use the lower one.. I saw this a few years ago and decided to wait because of reviews. This one seems to have all the bugs worked out such as the larger gap in the doors. THe self supports are part of the walls and are sturdy. Love the way he cooked all those wonderful looking dishes. Cant wait till I get mine from Amazon. Thanks for the review. Eudice
I always thought that I had heard it pronounced with a soft O at the beginning also. After you've used it a bit, let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching!!
Got it and love it. Toaster function works great. 1/2 bagel frozen on 5. Italian bread on 4. Defrosted a frozen salmon in pastry dinner on 200* baking and reheated on 250. Perfect. Wiped off the coils before using and baked under an exhaust fan to get rid of odor and it did it fast. Going to make brownies next when I get my new 18/10 pan. Love that it is on my counter so I don’t have to ask my husband to put pans in the double oven as I can’t reach them.. it made no noise on turbo, didn’t get hot on the outside, did not have much heat escaping from between the doors. Love.the track on the grill shelf that holds the pan underneath to catch the drippings. So clever. So well thought of. Got all the bugs out and is easy to use. Love that when I open the doors to check the foods temp, the heat automatically shuts off so I don’t get burned. Turns back on when I closed the doors. So happy I watched your review.. thanks
I just purchased this Oster air fryer oven from QVC. Unpacked it today, and was a little intimidated until I just watched your video. It was really helpful with everything.
I have only owned a Breville counter top in the past, but after watching your video, I’m happy I lurched it.
I subscribed to your video and look forward to more.
Thank you.
Hopefully you'll enjoy yours as much as I have mine and it's in my top two favorite appliances. Thanks for watching!
With very little counterspace in my Senior Apt, I wanted a toaster oven with an air fryer feature. I've had mine for about a month and couldn't figure out how to use the air fryer function....Thanks so much for an incredible video and explanations!!! Now I won't be a scaredy cat and give it a shot!!
I have the Oster French Door Turbo Convection Extra Large Oven (not w/Air Fry). I have a stainless steel wire basket I intend to try with this oven on either Turbo Convection or Dehydrate setting. Maybe carrot "fries", homemade sweet potatoe or regular fries. Hope it works! Happy cooking, kiddos!
So glad I watched this, have had mine OVER A MONTH (Costco $149.99) and the first day I burned bacon which set off the smoke alarm, and have been afraid to use it since. Now I feel more confident about using it, especially the air fryer. Those potato wedges did snap!
There's a slight learning curve but it's not too bad so don't be afraid to use it. I had never used a toaster oven or a convection oven before so I juat play around with the temps and time until I get it right. You can also write down exactly what you cooked, the temp, and how long it took in a nopepad or even your phone and have a quick reference for next time.
Great Review I'm here because I just bought 1 today got a great deal $49.99 +tax. Just under $55.. which I thought it was a steal. Can wait to start cooking in it...
Thank you. That is a crazy good deal! I'm betting you'll enjoy using it like I have.
Thanks for the extended version video 🙏🙏and for your time and the amazing dishes you made 👌you made me hungry so I went and bought this identical one and I absolutely love it. Thanks to you.😊😊😊
I have one of an earlier models, not air fryer. I live in a Mother-in-law Suite with kitchenette. No stove. I use an induction burner, microwave, and this oven. I have cooked turkeys, big hams, casseroles and pizzas. This is an amazing oven manufacturer. I use it several times a week and have for several years. The gap in doors has presented no problems for me. I want to upgrade, but my old one just will not die even after 8 years of use!
Just clean and sell it, it won’t die, not fully
I'm in love with my Oster, I've had it for years. I just want another one just Because of the stainless steel. Pay no attention to negative Nancy's, Get this machine or one like it. Some people over explain. The only issue you will have is cleaning it if you don't cook in foil wrap. Or, cover what's cooking. You Will Love This Machine. I don't even use my Stove Oven. I cook everything in this machine. Everything. I brought mine off QVC. When I 1st saw it.
I completely appreciate you taking the time to show all of this! This (for me) would be a big purchase and I don’t want to buy something like this that just won’t work. I too like the French door feature. I love that the air fryer works well (less oil). I like that you gave us several different food scenarios. Thank you for recording this!! Video is the best kind of review!
Hi, would you able to give me me step by step since We both have French double door oven that's said how you preheat 🔥 pre cook frozen chicken patties
You did an excellent job reviewing this air fryer.
Thanks for watching!👍👍
You obviously know your stuff when it comes to these air fryer appliances. Do you know of one similar to this Oster that you reviewed that isn't as large. My counter tops are only 2 ft in depth.
You're being too kind lol! I'm no expert but I will say that I really like the Kalorik and Ninja Foodi models. Kalorik make several models and different sizes. I also really like the Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 but it's hard to find although they were on QVC a little while ago and they flip up to save counter space. I haven't reviewed either of them (my wife won't let me get another air fryer for a while lol) but I personally would choose between those two.
@@AllAmericanMack
Thank You for your time.
@@AllAmericanMack Do you have a link to purchase this ? TY,,,,,
This looks interesting. I would suggest that you use a pizza pan or stone and leave it in the oven to preheat before putting the pizza in - will give you a better bottom crust.
My landlady gave me one and it's sat dormant for 6 months. As a 62 yr old man I've gotta admit I've never heard of this type of kitchen appliance. It's so versatile that, that in itself is kinda overwhelming.
I agree, it is kind of overwhelming because there are so many functions and they don't provide very good information as to cook times for each function. I did find however that once you start using it, it becomes pretty easy to figure out what temperature and function to use for various foods, it just takes a little getting used ti. But once you do, you'll probaly love it.
@@AllAmericanMack Well used it for frozen hash browns ,so far so good, now on to frozen pizza I guess.
What a great video review! I just got mine from Costco yesterday ($149.99 until 12/29/21) and I brought in two of my bread pans to make sure they would fit and that there was plenty of room for them to brown correctly. I have a much smaller Oster toaster oven and it did bake the bread but I could only fit one loaf pan in sideways and it was so close to the top heating element that it always burned the top crust unless I put aluminum foil on halfway through baking. This is my second oven and very excited not to have to bend over and take thing out of my Whirlpool range. Costco customer service said that some folks brought the oven back because it was too big for their kitchen space. I did see the specifications online but brought in a tape measure to make sure it would fit on my standard 24" deep countertop. It is about 17" deep but when the french doors are open they extend to 23" but still not past the end of the counter. This is a very usable size and excited to use it very often.
The size was the main reason I bought it. I know it will be too large and take up too much counter space for some people but I really like having the ability to almost completely replace my conventional oven. Thanks for watching!
Will this work with standard 1/4 size sheet pans? 🙂
Great Video.
I was looking at this OSTER model for a few years now, when I first saw it at my local COSTCO. I fell in love with the French Door aspect of it. And my Sister couldn't stop teasing me about it.
I had a small air fryer given to me by a co-worker, who decided to go for a larger model. But the handle rotten away. And I couldn't find a basket replacement for it.
I'm still sticking with my OSTER Countertop Convection Oven. Over six years later, and it still performs like a champ. I just purchased a baking pan with rack set recently. And that combo has been giving the oven an air-frying capability.
That's good to hear that your Oster is still good after all that time. This was the first Oster brand appliance and from what I knew of them, they make quality items. Where did you find the rack set? I did some searching and didn't couldn't find anything.
Thank so much! I just bought 1 from Costco & 2 of the pans were labeled as being #2 on the diagram + directions weren’t thorough, so this will help with my setup.👍🏾
Awesome, let me know how you like it and thanks for watching!!
I have had a Kalorik for over a year. Crappy made, 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
For the fish you should have used the turbo convection option. That would have cooked them and got them really brown well. I usually just use that option over baking unless it's something that specifically calls for just the bake option and not convection
Thank you for such a nice review. I was not in the market for one but I found mine the day after Thanksgiving at a shop in town. It was only $49. I couldn’t pass that up. So I’m keeping it on my island right now just trying out different things to see if I wanna keep it. So far so good
Wow, you got a killer deal! I still love mine and use it a lot, it has almost completely replaced my conventional oven.
I just got one of these, and am looking forward to using it alot. I get the home delivery of gourmet meals and cook up a storm. Its just for two people, but I hate starting up my oven especially in the summer, so this will be perfect. Only thing I didn't like is no manual or some receipes to try, as some people, as I, really don't know how to use the air fryer or convection oven option. Hoping to find more info on TH-cam to help. Now my big oven will, as others said store items too big for my cupboards. Thank you for the help.
I got a very similar looking model, by same brand, from Wal-Mart last Christmas sale for about $75. Love it. It appears to have same features for less than half the price.
Tky for the video. It helped so much. I used foil to prevent really awful cleanups even though the meager directions said not to. It worked fine and made clean up for chicken wings much easier. I don't want to think of the burned on mess that I would have dealt with if I hadn't covered the crumb pan with foil. I rubbed avocado oil over the air fryer grill before adding the chicken wings, and it helped clean up. There is a steep learning curve, but so far, everything I have tried has come out edible.
Good idea about applying oil to the grill before cooking, I didn't even think about that. Overall I'm very satisfied with it and glad I went with this one over others I was considering. Thanks for watching!
Great review sir, I have the same kind except mines not digital. I've only had it 2 weeks and so far I like it from looking some of your meals I'm learning something new everyday. Thank you and have a great day.
Thank you and thanks for watching!👍👍
Never had a oven that would cook both pizzas even. I cook them at 450 for 15 minutes, then I reverse the racks and cook till almost black because that is how I like my pizza. Usually takes about 25 minutes but I get a more even cooking result by switching them half way. I think the only perfect portable ovens I have used have been the 30 amp version, which most homes don't have a 30 amp plug for a convection oven. Plus I like them cause they go higher than a regular oven. I like Pizza hut thin and they cook their pizza at 700 degrees but I know the owner and looked at the plug it is a 50 amp.
I ordered the non air fry version. It arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure how much difference there really is between the air fry and convection functions but I doubt it's much if anything. Hope you enjoy it!
I bought this immediately after I watched this review! Thank you
Thanks for watching!👍👍
@@AllAmericanMack it is a good product! I used it every other day to bake, toast, roast! Love it so much!
Love this oven! I just wish it had a rotisserie option. Waiting for that before purchasing. I love the french doors. I currently have one with the door that opens down and all sorts of crud gets stuck where you can get to it. Thank you for your awesome review. :)
I agree that it would be really nice if they added a rotisserie to it, I think it would be the perfect air fryer. I'm kind of surprised they didn't since it seems to be such a highly sought after function so hopefully they will. Thanks for watching!
They’ll eventually release one with rotisserie in due time, but it gives them a way to keep getting you to buy. They just released another one, which will come to market around December 21st. The newer version allows you to sear.
Elite has a non-digital model that has the rotisserie. The fans do not do much. You have to hold a feather up to the fan to see if it actually blows air. It is the same setup and about the same size as the oaster. Look at the position of the fan. On both models they are on the right side, so the right side of pizzas are crisper than the other.
BTW it's 'Oast-er' like 'coast', not aw-ster like Costco. I've been collecting blenders since the sixties when the Oster family still owned the company. I have the $400 Breville Smart Oven with the air fryer function. I virtually never use it--why? Too hard to clean, particularly with food with crumbs. I also own the Instant Pot 8-quart Duo Crisp pot and also the Instant Vortex Plus, both of which I prefer. This is a great review--thanks!
I've been looking to buy one of these online from Walmart. Thanks for testing this out for us here on TH-cam I enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for watching!👍👍
Thanks for the review, it made me realize that I already have an oven that works just fine, I will just stick with a dedicated air fryer.
Good point. For me, one of the bigger points is not having to heat up the house with with my regular oven but it does take up more valuable counterspace than a regular air fryer.
I have the original one in Red. Love it, have had it over 3 years now, and I use it on almost a daily basis.
I'm using this oven way more than I thought I would. I had a amall toaster oven and also the other air fryer but I really like how large and versatile this one is. Good to hear yours is holding up and hopefully I'll get quite a few years out of this one. Thanks for watching!👍
I liked that you cooked different things. I was co-wrote curious as why you used aluminum foil on your Crumb tray and baking tray for a few things. You gave the best examples of it’s functionality. I’m trying to figure out which kind to buy. Yours was the best video. Thank you
I have the old one with the dials instead of touchpad. It works just fine. I use it outside in the hot summer so I don’t have to use my big oven and heat my already hot house.
I bought NINJA foodie XL pro oven for $300 & is well worth it , is really good & loaded , also they have Double baskets airfyer my friend bought his really happy with it & also , also they got REALLYYYY nice one call Ninja Grille/Griddle pro , i love that one 2 is really good ....this one U bought is nice , bought it year and half ago from Costco for $150, ya mine don't have the airfryer , the rest is same but is Huge unit
Ninja products are really nice. I've looked at the Grill/Griddle but man it's super pricey!
This was great! Thank you so much for how thoroughly you describe and show the different settings/products. I was especially interested in the air fryer portion of your video. I was also wondering about using ceramic cookware in this oven and appreciated you showing that it can be done! I bought this for its air fryer function, replacing my previous Oster French Door Oven. I used my previous toaster oven for everything during the hot summers and found it a good tool in my kitchen. I am surprised that you used tinfoil--I thought different places advised against it. Again, thank you!
Just got the Oster TSSTTVFDDAF from QVC. I don't know if it was me or the oven, but I found that setting the clock SUCKED !! I'm hoping that's NOT a bad omen, because I'm really looking forward to using this air fryer.
By the way I waited till the end and you did a good job I hate when people think that opening a cardboard box is going to make me want to watch it
Cool, great video. I just bought a very similar model, TSSTTVFDMAF. It's appears the only difference is that mine has knobs rather than digital buttons. Looks like I'm gonna be pretty happy with the purchase, and expect common oven directions with possibly a few extra minutes cooking time and some extra supervision.
Thank you so much for your review. I actually bought one today the exact one you have. Im curious how it would bake a cake. Thanks again I enjoyed watching your video!
I’m not really sold on an air fryer and still skeptical about it because I put french fries in my toaster oven for 25 minutes at 425F and I don’t use any oil and they come out good
The real advantage to air fryers is that they cook faster but I would say if you're happy with the toaster oven to just stick with that. My parents have both and they use the toaster oven much more.
You can access the complete user manual by entering model number and words user manual. It pulled mine right up. It is very detailed. Joe. Nice video btw.
Thanks for watching!👍👍
O ster... The Big O on the label says it all, lived a mile away from the original Oster office in Whitefish bay Wisconsin years back. I have had the original non air fry version for about 4 years now. It's excellent but they should have worked on a soft close by now. Once and a while it will snap close on you and you could get burned in the action. Nothing breaks which is a good thing but they should do better. Things don't spill down onto a glass which is a huge plus. Inside width is 15 and 1/2 inches which is important for baking pans. Honestly nobody out there really makes what I would be looking for in a toaster oven. Porcelain coated like a "Real" oven would come to mind as the inside finish of these ovens today becomes less then desirable a year or two later. Just some thoughts.
I believe the instructions did say rotate the positions (bottom to top and top to bottom) of the pizzas halfway through cooking when baking two pizzas.
It may very well have and I completely missed it but makes total sense for even cooking.
I got one of these and to be honest I don't fire up the large oven anymore. I did find out the hard way that a 16' pizza doesn't fit even with the round back. Mine has a slight hotspot at the back right. I love this thing even with its quirks.
You are so right about the manual it does not talk about how to bake a chicken or how to slow cook a chicken it was mainly all about air frying. your review has been right on so far. And I guess with the doors, a lady talked to me about it at the store who bought it and said the gap between the doors doesn’t happen immediately but with more use. maybe that’s why you and I both do not have that problem and hopefully it doesn’t happen for us. Also I am with you on wanting to have the rotisserie part for the chicken I was really dead set on. Then I saw this on sale and I saw it a week later with it in a lot of peoples carts. You may have a lot of people tuning into your video here. Ty
I'll definitely keep an eye on the doors to see. I guess if the gap doesn't really affect the function it wouldn't matter but I'd rather not have it lol. Yeah, I had my heart set on a rotisserie but I just keep telling myself that since I didn't get it this time, I'll get it on my next one!!
@@AllAmericanMack there ya go. 👍
Watching this at about 2AM. Getting pretty hungry
I have the older model without the air fry, but I still love it. I was thinking about replacing it with the air fry model, so I’m glad to see this video on it. I want the red one from QVC. But I never use the bake tray without protection. A sheet of aluminum foil.
I saw the colored models from QVC when I was looking them up and would have chosen the either the black or more likely the red one if I had a choice. I found out after a couple uses that the finish was getting marred on the bake tray. It didn't look like it was coming off on the food but I certainly didn't want to take any chances... you would think I should have known better! I'm going to mention that in the next video though. Thanks for watching!!
@@AllAmericanMack Oh wow! I got the black one, with no issues of the finish coming off.
Your bake tray is black??
@@AllAmericanMack No it’s silver. I mean the front doors are black.
Oh, lol. I was thinking I got some type of inferior baking pan!!🤣
love the slow cook feature and air-fry too
The company said the gap between the doors is designed that way---Hi COMPUTIAC! The slight gap between the doors is designed on purpose to allow proper air circulation when using the turbo convection bake option. There is really no heat loss.
That's good information. I haven't really found the gap was an issue either.
Oster (manual sheet?) recommends switching the racks about half-way through the cook time.
If the top gets hot, put a small pot on there to melt butter or soften cream cheese, etc.
Great idea!!
Thank you so much for this video. We just bought one at an auction with no instructions.
Thank you so much for this video. My sister just sent me one I do have a cabinet on top it's about 4 in from oven I hope it'll be okay but I really needed to see somebody actually using it. I did get the cookbook which is helpful
Have you had any issue with the heat and the top cabinet? I received one at Christmas and haven’t opened it because all my counter space is covered by cabinets
Excellent presentation! I had just bought the Kaloric one. We'll see what happens. I have subscribed and will follow your oster happenings.
Thanks so much for the review. I was on the fence about this. But now I’m thinking I might get this. I hope it bakes cakes and cupcakes evenly! 🤗🤗
I was supposed to do more videos with it cooking some other items but due to some personal issues wasn't able to do it until now but cakes and cookies are on the list!
Hi Mack, I don't know how I missed this video. TH-cam is really flaky with notifications. Thank you so very much for the shout out. Greatly is appreciated! I'm pretty sure two pizzas could be cooked in the Maxx at the same time because it has five different levels for food to be cooked on. I do love the rotisserie on the Maxx. They have a newer version called the Maxx Grill which looks really nice because they have a steak tray that sits on top of the bottom heating elements to cook steaks and other items at 500°. The Oster air fryer oven does look pretty decent though. When cooking wings with the Oster I would recommend putting the bake pan in the rack at the bottom just below where you had the wings. That way it will catch any drippings and they don't go under your heating elements. All in all looks great though.
Did you have any countertop protection under air fryer?
@@maureenjamieson6223 I do not have anything between the oven and the formica countertop.
I get the same thing happening with the notifications. It's frustrating to go to a channel and see like 8 videos that youtube didn't bother to let me know were posted. You make good videos and really it's where I first saw the Kalorik so you deserve a shout out, more people need to see your content. Like I said in the video, I was sold on the Kalorik until I ran across the Oster and honestly, I almost passed up because it *didn't* have the rotisserie. In hindsight, I am glad I got it (but I still want a rotisserie😡 lol) but maybe in the future I will get one. I haven't seen the Maxx grill but I will check it out. It sounds similar to the Ninja Foodi 15 in 1 I saw on QVC for the last week that has a searing plate that sits on top of the bottom heating element. You're right about putting the pan at the bottom, the manual says not to use foil in it, which of course I did, and there was no shortage of comments letting me know I did something wrong lol. Thanks for watching!👍👍
@@AllAmericanMack lost all the air fryer manuals State not to use foil. I think it's just to cover there butts though. So long as the foil is weighted down and not loose and not in danger of touching the heating elements then everything should be fine. A lot of manual State not to use parchment paper either. Can't tell you how many times I've used that. Really appreciate you with the shout out, and the kind thoughts. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Great review! It helped answer some questions for me. I was paying attention to how you use foil in it.
We just bought the model before this one. The only difference I can see is that we have to turn knobs instead of pushing buttons.
The worst thing we have cooked in it are hamburgers. Used the air fryer and the cooking chart in the owners manual. It splattered all over the inside and also on the heating bars. Took a while to clean. I don't think I hurt the machine by using a combination of hot water, dawn soap and white vinegar. Will say this combo worked great on the glass french doors. Last night we sliced up some russet potatoes and air fried them and they turned out great.
Does anyone know of a great website for recipes using this machine? We have been looking all over the internet and most websites are for the basket fryer and the ones that have an oven similar to this one does not have much more than a review. Would really like to know how others are keeping their machines clean.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks for this! I have been eyeballing this machine for a couple of weeks as a replacement for my current standard air fryer. I've been a little hesitant because while it has lots of features, I don't want to compromise the results of my traditional air fryer. That's the main function I'm likely to use. Anyone who has one of these or similar, do you feel it does as good a job as the regular style of air fryer? I don't want to give up that unique cooking machine for what is basically a counter top oven...if that makes any sense?
That makes a lot of sense and will tell you from my personal experience, it does exactly what any other air fryer does. I've personally owned the PowerXL, Gourmia, and Sur La Table air fryers and don't notice any difference in how this oven air fries compared to the others.
Bought one from a friend yesterday for 20 bones!! Thanks for the vid!!
Wow, that's a smoking deal! Thanks for watching!👍👍
Great review, thanks for that.
Has anyone tried this oven for baking bread? Is it large enough for a rustic boule? Will it burn the top or bottom of the bread before it is cooked due to proximity to heating elements? Is the heat steady once it reached temperature?
Thanks.
Bought this a week back... your video is really really awesome
Thank you!👍👍
Love the review. Just ordered this as today's special from QVC because my gas wall oven died so figure it will do for the 2 of us for now. QVC has a recipe chart and cooking chart to download.
I knew QVC sold them but didn't know about the recipe and cooking chart. Thanks for letting me know and for watching!!
Mary, thanks for letting us know about the charts at QVC!
You are welcome. Mine arrived earlier tonight so maybe I can unbox tomorrow.
Alas, the downloads are the same as the pamphlet that came with the oven. Time for trial and error!
@@bassetbabe4 haven't opened mine but the cooling charts are in the box?
Knowing the temperatures and times on the baked chicken et. al. would be nice. I want to try to make dinner for my family a couple times a week, and we have this device. The only problem is all I know how to cook deliciously is breakfast. So any help is great.
It took me a week to do all the cooking to make the video and when I was done started editing it, it was way too much footage to include in a single video and keep the time reasonable so I ended up cutting out a lot of it only for that reason. I don't know if I have any of the raw video left because I had one of my hard drives crash and lost a ton of already posted videos and many videos I made that had not been edited and uploaded yet.... a real bummer. I'll look and see if I have the original footage and if I do, I'll make a shorter video showing the times and temps I used. Although I haven't made many more videos with it, I'll include that information in the future. The truth is, that video was just such a monster to get edited, I just didn't think about including all the info.
Mine came with a catch pan, but I think I might have that other model without the air fryer. Catch pans are pretty cheap tho, and they save on cleaning up.
i got mine on amazon about 3 or 4 months ago for $250 plus $21 tax. i hardly ever use my stove anymore. i love it! i think you should read the instructions because putting the foil on the bottom of oven is a fire hazard. you can use foil just to cover whatever you are cooking, but that is all.
Bwtween this air fryer oven and my Blackstone indoor griddle, about the only thing I use my stove/oven for are some things that just have to cooked in a pot. I appreciate the concern about using aluminum foil in the oven although it's not a fire hazard since aluminum foil doesn't melt or catch fire until above 1220°. The manual says using it can cause overheating of the oven and while it does seem odd that a single sheet of foil laying on the bottom would make any difference, I don't want to take any chances so I won't be using it anymore. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@AllAmericanMack you're welcome...better safe than sorry.
Thanks ! That was super. I brought that exact Oster French Door Air Fry Oven a few months ago & your video was a real gem to have watched. I was very disappointed that the little pamphlet that came with this oven is called a User Manual. It is terrible as far as how to cook stuff. Have you found a resource where I can purchase a comprehensive cookbook that would provide much more detail re: time, temp, etc for baking, broiling, air-fying, convection, etc. to cook all those items your video seemed to speed through without info (eg., Baked potatoes & chicken ?) Thanks again- Jimmy D
There's a few problem with the French Door AirFryer/Oven. Watch out for the VERY HOT Doors. The regular AirFryer has the handle that's not directly exposed to heat. Unfortunately my Kalorik Air Maxx doors was very hot burnt my knuckles when the door closed by itself when i had it half opened.
Use Lawry's seasoned salt &/or pinches of paprika, if u want browning -- works great in a pan & works pretty well too cooking in a reg. stove oven (baking)
Thanks, great tip!👍👍
I really like the wire rack on that machine I wish my instant Vortex air fryer Pro had that feature
You had the top pizza too close to the burners. However, one will still cook faster, just not that much faster. I like the oven. The french doors on some are flushed while others have a very small gap. Not a game changer though. Thanks for the video.
I burnt the fuse using the air fryer toaster oven as well as the instant pot although they are on different sockets in the kitchen.
Thank you! Does the outside get extremely hot? What setting did you have it on was it air fry or bake you should have used bake! I learned that the hard way. Also brush the bottoms with a small amount of oil would crisp crust.
Good points! I've gotten a little better with figuring out which setting to use. Yes the outside does get very hot! Even with that I find that it doesn't really have an issue making the areas around it too hot. When it's sitting on my kitchen cabinet it doesn't make the back or side wall or the cabinets above it very hot so there's no issue with that. One side benefit is that you can sit something on top and use it as a warming tray.
Thank you. I am going to buy it to Costco today. I loved the video... 🥰 Thank you 😊
Thank you! Let me know how you like it!
My doors have a fair gap and the one other thing I dont like is the timer shutting the unit off my other unit didnt do that which is nice to set timer to turn food or just check and see if it is done without the unit shutting down and having to restart all over again.
You're right about the timer, maybe a pause button would be nice. I would guess that it's a safety feature but I agree that I want to choose when to turn it off.
An excellent no nonsense review.
Thank you!👍👍
This looks really good! Thanks for the video!
Mine when on Bake function makes a tapping, kathunking sound as if the metal is expanding. Im wondering if this is normal . And wondering if anyone is experiencing this noise. There is barely any noise on air fry or turbo setting.
Mine does make those noises also. I haven't noticed which settings do it or if all of them do but from what my experience with it has been and what I've read, I do believe it's normal... at least with this model.
Thank you so much. Yes no details on the description of this product. Thank God I found you! I have one question. Does the drip tray go above the heating rods? It fits well when I put it above. That way the Rods won’t get the drip. What do you think?
I have this oven and I LOVE IT!!!!!! Yes, it is large.
I can see the size being an issue for some people who don't have the space but I wanted a large one and this one fits the bill nicely. I agree with you, I really like it and am using it a lot more than I thought I would. Thanks for watching!👍
It might be pronounced “ohster “ as opposed to ahster. An Oast is an ancient oven hence the terms toast or toaster incorporating the original word.
Thinking about buying this, Thank you for sharing!
It has become my second favorite kitchen appliance next to my Blackstone E-Series griddle. I actually made the video about a month ago and have used it a lot since then and would highly recommend it as long as you have the space to put it. Btw, QVC also has them in the additional colors of black and red. Thanks for watching!
Very good review and explanation of what you cooked. All looked like the are done well.
How hot does the top get? Can you put a baked or grilled etc on top for a few min to keep warm??
I am a widow and heating the regular oven seems silly for the very small servings I do. I ordered this to use in place of the large oven.
Thanks.
Thank you. The top does get pretty hot and although I haven't tried to, I think it would be good to keep food warm. I completely agree about the regular oven, I live alone also and almost never use it anymore.
Did you notice a loud popping noise when heating up or cooling down? I assume it's the metal inside expanding and contracting but notice a few reviews complaining about it. Deciding between this and the Cuisinart @ Costco.
It does make the popping noise sometimes and I agree it's just the metal expanding and contracting. It seems to do it more sometimes than others although I haven't found any connection between the popping and the different settings. I don't personally find it much of big deal and after the first time I used it and it happened, I really don't pay much attention to it. I can't comment on the Cuisinart since I've never used it but have been 100% happy with the Oster.
May I ask, I saw you used foil on very bottom of oven for some stuff and the you had foil in pan for enchiladas. Did it all work fine? Directions recommended not to use foil. I just got mine. Outstanding video. Following
Thank you. I've been using foil in it for over a year now without any issues, both on the crumb tray for easier cleanup and over some foods when necessary.
I noticed that the videos towards the end show aluminum foil over the crumb tray. Is that just for easier cleanup or is there another benefit? Thank you for explaining the preheat. I was wondering why it seems to stay on 'Pre" forever, I didn't know that the beep meant that it is up to the correct temperature.
I do use it to make cleanup easier. The manuel does say to not use foil in the oven because it can cause it to overheat. There is a lot of metal inside the oven already so I'm not really sure how a thin sheet of foil would make any difference but I have been using foil in it for a very long time without any problems.
I noticed you used the same baking pan are you able to use other baking dishes. Also, when you open the door the timer kept counting down. You had lined the bottom tray with foil but you said that under the bottom tray the heating elements are very hot. Would that be a concern for the foil might catch fire?
I don't see any reason why other baking pans wouldn't work as long as they fit. The timer will still run with the doors open unless you pause or cancel it. The manual says not to use foil in the oven because it could cause the oven to overheat although I can't see any reason why a thin piece of foil would make any difference. Aluminum foil doesn't catch fire until above 1200° so I don't think that shouldn't be a problem and during some of my cooking the foil on the bottom was touching the heating element and it didn't even melt. It's worth mentioning that I was using Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil because I've used cheaper, thinner brands ( like from Dollar Tree ) that have melted onto food.
I lined it with silicone mat cut to size. Works great, reusable, easy to clean.
Great idea!
