It seems like nowadays more and more people are using an air fryer to do most of their cooking in the kitchen.  But, with all the different air fryers available for purchase, which ones actually do what they say they will, and which ones will not break the bank?  I bought an air fryer a couple years ago when the craze of air fryers was just starting. I spent over $250 for one, and less than 3 months later it stopped working.  I reached out the manufacturer and just my luck, they were no longer in business.  After that time, I decided the next air fryer I would get would be either with a new stove, or down the road after I read more honest reviews and saw actual videos of the air fryers in use.  Because I bought one when they were relatively new, there weren't many reviews or videos on the different so called high end ones. I was planning to buy and air fryer this holiday season...just wanted to wait until the big Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals dropped. But, before I could get one, I was contacted by the folks at Dreo to see if I wanted to review their Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer, which is available through Amazon for under $120, and had 5 star reviews.  Along with the reviews were videos and photos of the air fryer, which gave me a sense of relief as I could see that this wasn't going to be another flop air fryer. I jumped at the opportunity to review the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer, and am so glad that I did, I have been using this air fryer 4-5 days a week, to cook up a quick lunch or dinner, and have even been tweaking family favorite dishes and baked treats to cook up in my new Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer, in less time.  

This chicken cooked up in 24 minutes -- 12 minutes each side. 

I like how when I cook things like chicken, it gets nice and crispy on the outside, but, as soon as you bite into it, it is juicy and full of flavor.  You can't get that with frying food or baking it for upwards of an hour.   Another neat feature of the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer which I am loving and that sets this particular air fryer apart from others on the market is that it has a transparent viewing window, which lets your catch a glimpse of your food without needing to open the basket and mess up the temperature inside.  My other air fryer didn't have this, and I don't think I have seen any other air fryers on the market with this see-through window.  My girls love walking into the kitchen and sneaking a peak to see what I am cooking. Or, if they are making something with the air fryer, they don't have to wait to the end to see how their food is coming along, as they can look at it whenever they want, all through the quick cooking process.

Like I said, I have owned the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer for about a month now, and have been using it every week.  After the first few days of using it, I found myself looking through the recipe book included with the air fryer to flag recipes I wanted to try.  From entrees and appetizer, to desserts and snacks and even side dishes, the free recipe book has over 100 recipes to try with your new Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer.  I told the girls the other day that we will try and make every one of the recipes, and mark them with how good they taste and if we would make them again.  We started a couple weeks ago, and so far we have made 10 recipes from the Dreo recipe book, and all of them have been a hit with my family, and marked as ones we would try again. I am guessing with this streak that the same will be true for all the additional recipes we will be making and enjoying.

In addition to trying the recipes shared by Dreo, I have also been tweaking my own recipes so that I can use the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer and cut down on cook time. As a busy mom on the go, and now with more and more things opening back up and my girls' having more extra curricular activities taking place in person, I am finding we are back to being on the go, or coming home later than usual in the evening from things.  The last thing I want to do after a long day out and about is be stuck in the kitchen cooking up an entree and sides, only to have to do the dishes right after.  But, thanks to welcoming the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer in my home, it has become a life saver and time saver.  I am now able to cook up healthy, wholesome meals for my family without skimping on taste or quality just to get it out of the kitchen and on the table.  And, even my pickiest of eaters, my older daughter, is loving being a taste testing of all the dishes I am preparing with this air fryer.  She really likes how the food is juicy and full of flavor on the inside, as do the rest of my family.  I was also able to tweak an apple cider donuts recipe and have been whipping them out for a quick mid-day snack for my girls.

Here are just some of the features of the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer, which make this a must own air fryer for families looking to invest in one, or have been looking for ways to cut down on meal prep without sacrificing taste, so that they can spend more time with their family...

With the holidays fast approaching, why not consider making the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer the family gift that Santa brings you?  This is definitely one gift you will love and use time and again.  And, once you start cooking with the air fryer you will wonder why you waited so long to get one, or have lived without an air fryer in your life.  I am so glad I gave the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer a chance after my previous poor experience with an air fryer purchase.  I haven't run into an issues with it, and can see why it continues to get 5 star reviews on Amazon from all the happy customers who have purchased it and love it, just like I do!

Right now you can score the Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer for only $109.99 (be sure to clip the $10 off coupon) -- which is a steal compared to other air fryers on the market. And, remember this one comes with a transparent viewing window so you can check on your food while it cooks -- a feature I haven't seen with other air fryers.  

Once you try this air fryer, you will be raving about it, just like I have been doing with this post, and to family and friends.  Just the other night I had family over and cooked them up my famous Chinese sticky chicken.  Everyone thought I had changed up the recipe as this time around the chicken was really moist and full of flavor, while having a nice crisp skin on the outside.  They liked the crunch they got when they bit into it, and then were meant with a juicy inside.  I should have bought more chicken, as everyone kept reaching for seconds and then thirds, before it was all gone.  I ended up sharing my secret to getting perfectly cooked chicken with crispy skin outside and juice inside -- thanks to my Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. And, clean up is a breeze as you can pop the basket in your dishwasher. But, you will find no scrubbing is needed to get any sticky residue on the basket, as it has a BPA-FREE coating that makes it non-stick, and easy to clean.  What more can you ask for with this air fryer? It has checked off all the boxes of features I want in an air fryer, while offering so many more great features that make it stand apart from other air fryer brands on the market. 

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to Amazon and purchase your own Dreo 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer, and then get ready to cook and make delicious meals and treats for your family, in less time than you normally would spend cooking with your stove top or oven.

Provide Healthier Fried Food for Your Family (85% Less Fat Than a Deep Fryer) with the #1 Amazon Best Selling Air Fryer from Cosori (Review)

Disclosure:  I was sent a sample from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.

I am always up for ways to simplify my cooking, especially with one picky eater in the house.  I end up making a meal for my husband, youngest daughter and I to eat, and then another meal or sampling of foods for my oldest to eat, as she will not touch or even try what we are eating.  It has been this way since she was little, and while it can be frustrating at times having to play "open kitchen," I can't help but feel for mom as she did the same thing with me when I was younger. I, too, was a picky eater and would only eat chicken noodle soup, salad and steak and potatoes with gravy. While my food options were more than my daughter's, I could see it as being a tough thing to do when you are trying to feed a family a 5 like she did.  People tell me that I should make her eat what we have or nothing at all, but I know that this is just a phase, and eventually she will start eating and sampling new foods and flavors, and will develop more food likes.  But, in the meantime, I am stuck cooking two separate meals at lunch and dinner.

If only there was a way to cook up one of the meals in record time, helping to cut down my time spent in the kitchen?  Well, I found a new kitchen product that does that, and I am loving all the dishes and food I am cooking up for my family, including my picky eater. :-)  I am talking about the Cosori Air Fryer, which is the #1 Best Seller on Amazon with a 4.7 rating.  Don't believe me?...check it out here:  https://amzn.to/2unwbiC.

The Cosori Air Fryer is available right now at Amazon for only $119.99 , and after trying it out for the past two weeks, have to say that this is definitely a steal, as you can do so much with the air fryer. Each and every dish you cook up with full of flavor and not dried out.  I am finding myself wanting to spend more time in the kitchen trying out new recipes, and trying to tweak family favorites to cook in the air fryer, and cut down on oven and stove time. 

Pre-heating my air fryer to make banana bread

Following the easy banana bread recipe that is found in the recipe book included with the air fyer

You can use mini loaf pans to cook the banana bread -- I prefer round pans so that the girls can cut pie like slices of bread

Getting ready to set the timer and bake up the bread...

It will be done in 40 minutes -- all without having to heat the house with the oven heat. :-)

Right now we are having a heat wave with temps in the low to mid 90's, and it's expected to stay around for the whole week.  The last thing I want to be doing is turning on the oven to cook, and heat up the whole house.  Nor, do I want to stand outside cooking out the grill, while also cooking myself with the heat and sun's rays.  But, thanks to the Cosori Air Fryer, I am whipping up dishes and desserts my family loves, and that I am even impressed by.  :-)

Want to get an idea of dishes you can make with the Cosori Air Fryer?  Here are just a few dishes I have made with it...

Caramelized plum and ricotta hand pies with mint sugar

Reuben steak with tangy braised cabbage and Russian dressing pan sauce

Honey Dijon pork chops with summer squash, lima beans and corn hash

Beef tenderloin with herbed onion rings and charred okra

In addition to the dishes I made with the air fryer, I also found some other great recipes off the Cosori website, that I will be trying this week.  

You can check out these recipes here: https://www.cosori.com/recipes/allrecipes

I am happy and thankful that the folks at Cosori sent along their air fryer for me to try out.  It was my first time using the air fryer, and after reading the instructions that come with the fryer, along with recipes from the Cosori, I was ready and confident to see what the air fryer could do...and it didn't disappoint!  Even my picky eater found herself wanting to sample the foods I was cooking up, and looking the through recipes on the Cosori website that she wanted me to try making for her.  So, you could say it was a win-win for everyone in my house...I got a new kitchen gadget to play with and find way to cut my time cooking at the stove or heating up the house in the hot summer with the oven, my family is enjoying the benefits of me having to review the air fryer by sampling all the dishes I am cooking, and last, but most importantly, my picky eater is starting to branch out and explore new foods and flavors, as seeing the Cosori Air Fryer in action.

The Cosori Air Fryer would also make for a great housewarming gift, gift for new or expectant moms, wedding gift, and even to pick up for your oldest children to bring with them to college in the fall.  You will find yourself feeling like an air fryer pro after the first dish you whip with the Cosori Air Fryer, and want to see what other tasty dishes you can make, for your family (and friends) to enjoy.  You can learn more about this #1 Best Selling Amazon air fryer online by visiting https://www.cosori.com.
