An Air Fryer That Makes Juicy Steak? Yes. It's Nearly Half Off

"It's one of the most compelling cooking devices I tested last year, able to cook a ribeye steak to whatever temperature you set, then brown its outside at around 500 degrees Fahrenheit while keeping the moisture locked within. The same goes for a roast chicken. Or for a pork chop."

"It's not just an air fryer, you see, though it will totally crisp you up some wings or tots or french fries. It's also a combi cooker, which aerates the oven with steam to lock in moisture on large cuts of meat. And it's also an app-controlled probe cooker, which you can set to slowly bring meat up to temp before finishing with a blast of heat."

"Dreo has long signaled that it soon plans to release a somewhat simplified, AI-guided successor called the Chefmaker 2. This steep price cut is a good sign that the second-generation device will likely be released soon."

The Dreo Chefmaker is a multifunctional cooking appliance that combines air fryer, combi cooker, and probe cooker capabilities. It specializes in cooking meat dishes like ribeye steaks, roast chicken, and pork chops to exact temperatures while maintaining moisture through steam injection and controlled heat finishing. The device features app control for precise temperature management and can also prepare traditional air fryer items like wings and fries. Currently offered at 44% discount on Dreo's website using code SPCHEFMAKER, bringing the price to approximately $200. The steep discount likely signals an upcoming Chefmaker 2 release. A minor limitation exists with temperature variance in non-probe cooking modes, which can fluctuate by about 20 degrees.
