Tastee Sensor Magic Smart Air Fryer 5.5 Quart with Dual Sensor Cooking Probe, 8 Professional Cooking Functions, Cookbook and Online Recipes, Large Viewing Window

I make steaks in this air fryer and they always come out perfectly. I also love that my home doesn't smell when I use it. Very easy to clean and store away when not in use. I highly recommend!

So let me tell you...first time I used it I absolutely hated it! In truth it was because I didn't know what I was doing! I have been an air fryer snob for a couple of years. Yep. We exist. I started out with the bucket type like this when they first came out. I used it until it died. I saw they had come out with some really slick and fancy looking ones that were like an oven on your counter but was an air fryer!!! A door, shelves and a rotisserie. It was a name brand. I put my nose up at anything that had a bucket. What a dummy. Lol. I thought they were all just junk and limited in usage. Seriously...I couldn't have been more wrong!! My big unit that they called "space saving" was such a pain in the butt to clean!!! So much so it just sat there and was only used for the occasional crisping up of something. And the rotisserie? Great if you wanted to cook a pigeon! Anyway I got this one because quite frankly I am a new relatively younger widow that just can't get myself to cook for just me. And to dirty the other air fryer unit was simply not worth the clean up. I then went to Amazon after seeing this one on Pinterest and bought it. I was here in 3 days. I decided to test it out the day I got the Tastee by making French fries. I am a low carb eater but had some french fries my husband loved in the freezer. I am only 5'2" so I had to put a stool in the kitchen to see the button panel on top of the unit. It's very pretty and self explanatory. Didn't have to read the instructions. Lol. So I hit the power button, touched the pad with the picture of the French fries. Realized I had to have the bucket in the machine. I emptied out the French fries out of the bucket and slid it into the machine. I was confident. I hit all the appreciate buttons for French fries and waited for some sort of beep or something to tell me it was pre heated and to put the food in. It never beeped. I was frustrated. This is where the hate came in. I thought "what a piece of junk!" Doesn't even tell you when to put your food in! It taunted me. I got back up on the stool and hit the buttons again and looked closely at the temp and time. It actually said it takes 28 frigging minutes to cook French fries!!!! Seriously?!!!! The hatred for this thing was building. It seemed like an expensive toaster oven or something. I took the matter into my own hands and hit air fry, temp to 400° for 8 minutes. It started running. Not loud at all like my old one. I got all excited when I saw I could hit a light button and see what was going on and it would turn off the light after a few minutes. I'm the one that walks away when I turn the oven light on. Anyway after doing the shake shake thing half way through and finished cooking until the beep and the fries were perfect!! Slightly crisp and tender inside the way I like them. Since then I've made bacon in it in 8 minutes and didn't have to turn it as anticipated. I took out the bottom grate and put it into the sink. Poured off most of the grease and threw in some fork blended eggs to make scrambled eggs. 400° and opened and closed the basket pushing the eggs around on the bottom with a rubber spatula to make perfect fluffy eggs. I was amazed. Yesterday I made a strip steak from frozen and it was perfect!! No need for the probe. I just kept an eye on it. I eat Ketovore so this is perfect for me and no messes to clean up. I'm telling you...I'm impressed. I got the $149 version. If the one for $199. Goes on sale I will probably buy it and put it away for when I need to replace this one. I absolutely positively recommend this product. It's perfect for one person or a family of 4. I am going to my widow/widower support group and will definitely tell the folks about this air fryer. Not cooking for yourself is a major problem for a lot of us widowed people. This has helped immensely. Love it! Again .. highly recommend this air fryer!

The air fryer is good and operates well, just couple of things to take into account - first, you will need a power transformer if using it outside USA, as the unit operates at 120V but the power outlets here ( and in Europe) are 220-240V. So for this unit we needed quite a powerful one which cost us half of the price we paid for air fryer. Second - you can use probe only if the meat (fish) is at least 1 inch thick, which is not very often as steaks sold outside USA rarely are this thick, so can’t use special programming and just meet to ‘wing it’ with general time and temperature. Special programs for meat and fish are used only with probe as far as I understand unfortunately.

I absolutely love my Tastee. I use it 3-4 times a day. I follow the carnivore diet, and the meats taste incredible. Quick and easy to use. Clean up is a breeze. Having a built in meat thermometer really helps out as well. Best thing I've bought in a long time....definitely worth getting.

Fyi, I still have my Ninja air fryer that I use to fry chicken nuggets, etc. in, but I use this new Tastee air fryer exclusively for steaks. Because of the probe and the fact that this heats to 450° to be able to sear the steaks, it makes the most perfect steak I have ever had in just a matter of minutes and the cleanup is a breeze. The steaks come out sizzling and are brown and crusted on top and cooked to whatever doneness you tell it to, because of the probe that you stick inside the meat while cooking. It knows exactly how long to cook that steak for it to come out perfectly. There's no guess work to this, so I can set it and forget it and go on and do other things and it will beep me when it's done. And it comes out perfect! I let the steaks rest for 10 minutes on the wire rack and then transfer to a plate and then pour the juices over the top of the steaks and serve. Of all my kitchen gadgets, and I use them all, this one is the most prized, because of how it cooks the steaks. I love steak, but I hate having to stand outside and babysit a barbecue or pop up the stove trying to fry a steak and with this air fryer, you literally pop the probe into the meat and throw the steak in the air fryer. It will ask you what kind of meat your cooking, such as what type of steak, which I personally use either ribeye or New York strip, and then it will ask you for how you want it cooked and you scroll down to rare thru well done and hit start and walk away. You come back to a steak that is sizzling and cooked to perfection. I would never give this up. If it happened to die tomorrow, I'd order another one to replace it, that's how much I love it.
