After you put the drip tray below the heating elements with the rotisserie chicken, do you think the cook times will change for these items in this video?
@@jimtidmorejr7891 Hi. I would definitely think things would cook more quickly without having the bottom heating elements blocked. The drip tray still gets kind of weird over time just from having spots cleaned off. It really pays to do cleanup up immediately.
I have the same unit, but luckily got three baskets and two racks with mine. A 3 pound chicken tightly tied up produced almost no smoke. The drippings fell between the heating elements, for the most part. I think a bigger chicken or roast produces more smoke. I’m sure someone must’ve told you by now, but the drip tray goes under the bottom heating elements. There should be no other empty trays below the tray you were trying to cook from. It really does impede the heat and things take longer to cook. Doing that correctly will also improve the toasting feature. It does a great job on toast. Especially good for large slices of bread. Lastly, I have discovered that cooking chicken wings or tenders and fries separately works best. Otherwise it takes forever for anything to get crisp. I just discovered your channel. 😃
@@Mamabear1138 I bought it from a late night TV infomercial. I’m guessing the extras were a special. This would have been about six months ago. I know many of the one bought in retail stores like Bed Bath and Beyond only come with the one rack and basket. I’m guessing you can buy extras on his website, but that doesn’t seem quite fair.
I just got one of these and been playing around with it. one thing I've noticed in your video is you have the drip tray sitting on top of the bottom heating element and it should be under. that would help with the toasting part lol.
You are making the same mistake I made initially until my girlfriend showed me the drip tray goes under the bottom elements. No foil for me. I use parchment paper in my crisper tray and have no drips.
I have the 360 oven and I absolutely love it; it does take a little longer for air frying but it all come out wonderful!! I bake in it as well, no real complaints
My mom bought my sister and I this nifty air fryer. We tried to do sweet potato fries and they were soft not crunchy. We watched your review and found that the bottom tray needed to be removed, thank you so much for doing this video. We took notes on everything you did...you're a life saver! I subscribed. Now I'm going to watch you review the smokeless grill because I have one too but never used it. You are so sweet to take the time to do this. Thanks again and many blessings.
Jeff, Thank you, thank you. This was what I've asked my husband for for Christmas. Quite frankly, for the cost, I wasn't impressed by the results you got. Rotissierie awesome, but air fryer smoking, dehydrator not thorough and toaster too long. No way.. Now, I am leaning toward kaloric. Thank you for saving us a chunk-a-change. By the way, your reviews are a huge help.
I bought this product and have been easing into it! But, watching your video, I am going to use it everyday! Thank You sooo much for teaching me how to use this awesome product! I have subscribed to your site and I am excited to learn from you! BTW, I am a retired teacher who still loves to learn (we are lifelong learners), and YOU are a great teacher!! Thanks!🥰
I do love cooking with the 360 - it is pretty easy to use...and to let you in on a little secret, I was a teacher in a previous life...Thanks for the time you spent working with our kids!
I wanted to trade up from my Cuisinart Convection Oven that's been going strong for over 12 years ($99 at Costco) as it doesn't have an air frying feature. But everyone I've watched has given this Oven such a mediocre review. It strikes me as just a more advanced table top convection oven. See no reason to trade up. You helped me make my decision. I appreciate the review. Thanks.
If you have something that is working for you I wouldn't upgrade either. This was a pretty good product and has a lot of really neat options. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Just purchased this about 2 weeks ago and I love it 🥰. Used it for thanksgiving pies and they turned our awesome. Yesterday I cooked a pork loin on the rotisserie and it turned out so delicious, trying rotisserie chicken for the first time at this very moment! Best 250.00 I ever spent
I have one of these. I used it last night to air fry meatloaf. It came out perfect. I have a glass baking dish that fits in there perfect. I baked a 2lb. meatloaf for 40 minutes ( it takes 1 1/2 hrs. in the oven), at 400 degrees. I use it all the time, no complaints. I got it because I have a bad back and it is hard to get things in and out of my regular oven. I would buy again.
Hello... The first time I saw the 360, I was sold . I like the 360 because of the versatility and size. This is similar to a new concept table top unit that utilized convection method to cook. I have been drying fruits , vegetables, and meat , off and on for 30 years..This small version will be just the right size in my retirement years ....
Got one for xmas. Used it to do some deer jerky. Worked great, 160-175 deg for 2.5-3 hrs. Downside is you can only do small batches at a time. The oven or a smoker will do 5x larger batches. I Definitely want to try a few more things like wings, pizza, fries.
Great, honest and upbeat review. I love this product so far for the past three weeks. A needed addition for my kitchen and worth the price (on sale at BJ's for $159.00). My favorite setting is broil( for my BBQ wings/spicy Jerk chicken wings- lamb chops-so good!). Looking forward to trying all of the settings. I recommend this product.
I do miss BJs Wholesale Club. I moved to the south and all we have is Sam's club. You got a deal on this airfryer. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe
Hi Jeff. I love your reviews. I just wanted to point out that the drip tray goes UNDER the heating elements on the bottom. That is why your toast didn't brown on the bottom and could be why your coming times took longer. I've had mine for about 8 months now and I like it. Take care and keep up the awesome reviews!
You're absolutely correct. I sure thought it was in the right way because it slid right in... sadly I was wrong - lol. I put out another video correcting it, happy cooking!
The drip pan is suppose to go under the lower element. I turn the air on everything I cook in it. It cuts the time in half! I’ve never had smoke in the kitchen from this unit. My drip pan never has discolored! You might have a “lemon “ I dehydrated pears all summer long and they took 24 hours but that didn’t surprise me. I love my unit!
We have one. It's hit or miss for us. I love it for grilled cheese, toast, reheating pizza, air fry french fries etc. So far it's a miss on roasted cauliflower, rising crust pizza, and regular pizza. The rising crust pizza was a doughy mess. The cauliflower was somehow both a dark brown and still undercooked crunchy (I even lowered the temp for the second half of cooking). The air fry basket comes clean easy in a dishwasher but I can see it being a problem if you have to scrub it by hand.
@@dobegrama hey friend, just so you know YT doesn't send me notifications for comments under comments. I just happened to be going through and saw this. I would cook grilled cheese on the rack. It may be good to put something under in case cheese drips. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Just received my Power 360 today. I know your review is 2 years old so there appears to be some improvement in what the accessories that are included now. Mine came with 2 wire racks, 3 crisper baskets, 1 baking pan, 1 rotisserie spit and 1 rotisserie stand. The price I paid was $169.96 + tax.
Wow...thanks for sharing the new items that come with the 360...happy cooking...also make sure your crumb/drip tray goes under the heating element. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Yes, the way they've made it that's the only way the drip tray will fit is under the heating rods. Also in the owner manual they say to never use any foil on the drip tray as it can cause the unit to over heat.
@@camcaman I'm glad they changed it. My drip pan slipped pretty easily above the heating element...all air fryers say no to foil...parchment paper is a good alternative...I've even heard some use silicone.
I think the marks on the drip pan are from you setting the pan on the coils. It goes under the coils. The coils seem to have burned the pan with it sitting on top of it. Just sayin.......
Theresa Ellis I thought like you. I put mine under the element and it smoked so bad I thought it would catch fire. I’m going to try it like he did. So far I’m not very impressed with mine.
Homemade Turkey Burgers, homemade Turkey meatballs, marinated boneless skinless chicken, homemade popcorn chicken, baked fish, baked peanuts, homemade cornbread, homemade banana bread, eggs, homemade steak fries, are just some of the items I've learned to cook using the Emeril power 360 air fryer, and I love it.
The Pampered Chef Air Fryer!!! It has the hook so you can get your rotisserie out without using your ove glove and silicone mitt. It also does not NEED to preheat! I LOVE my Pampered Chef Air Fryer! I searched for almost 2 years for the perfect Air Fryer. So glad I was patient!
The review by Jeff was awesome. he displayed and answered all of my pending questions, that I had, regarding especially on the proper way to use the rotisserie unit of the air power. The air power does so much, for the price. This fabulous machine will be used almost everyday, to experiment and perfect the usage, for me and my family. I am so pleased with it. Thank Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer 360.
It is a sweet machine. If you want to know more about the rotisserie feature, I put out a 2nd video. If interested check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html Have a great day and stay safe.
Hi, Jeff. I just watched your review of Emeril Lagasse's Power Air Fryer 360 and I loved it. Very thorough and easy to listen to. We bought this product today and immediately made a Rotisserie Chicken. We had difficulty only because we didn't know how to truss a chicken. Too bad we didn't video that process because it was a comedy of errors. Once we got past that, we did alright...until the electricity went out in our area due to weather. It had cooked for almost 30 minutes (of the recommended 55) and we just left it in the Air Fryer for the duration of the power outage (almost 2 hours). When we were able to resume cooking, we set it for another 15 minutes. We didn't have high hopes, but it turned out great! It was a bit messy because we didn't line the drip tray as you did, but we will next time. And there will be a next time!
Thank you for the review! Just a quick comment on the drip tray, from watching other review videos, the drip tray slides "under" the bottom heating element.
Thanks, I released an update today where I highlighted your comment. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I've included the link below if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
I treated myself to a 360 French Door Airfryer - and it hasn't arrived yet -- this is my 3rd airfryer - - just cause I'm old and love gadgets. I really enjoyed your reviews only thing I have an exception to is your choice of football teams --- and yes I'm kidding - - we may not agree with teams but thanks for your reviews.
I bought the 360XL, Love mine, have not used my big oven in 2 months, hour less for the rotisserie Chicken than my gas grill rotisserie and just as good, can do 2 small game chickens at same time, great machine
Just unboxed my 360XL with accessory kit and can’t wait to get started. Note that the drip pan goes under the elements, it’s easy to put above elements but then burns pan. One thing I can’t figure is the timer, doesn’t seem to be adjustable on air fry mode so I guess you have to use a separate timer if you want less than 18 minutes. I need to play with this more and have been hesitant to purchase an air fryer but hear great reviews. Also on Emerils site I found a 25% discount code which helped make the decision. Thanks for the video.
you are quite right about the drip pan. I read about the location in the directions but it wouldn't fit (I was putting it in backwards)....it sure fit above the heating elements. I corrected this in a subsequent video. Thanks for sharing about the discount code.
That's what I noticed that he had the bake pan over the bottom elements. That's why his cooking was off. I baked a mac and cheese and it took half the time my oven does.
Hi Jeff, I enjoyed your review and agree with some of your conclusions. The 360 is somewhat slower to air fry a variety of foods like chicken wings than my generic 4 quart bargain air fryer. For routine air frying of small batches, my basic and cheap air fryer is significantly faster and produces crispy food. There are a few ways to improve the cooking results and reduce cooking time. A few comments about your set-up: At 4:50 I see that your bottom drip pan is resting above the two bottom heating elements. The drip pan needs to be BELOW the heating elements. It slips below them and thus exposes the heating elements for more direct exposure of the food to heat. This is probably why it discolored - as seen at 2:15. While you rotisseried the roast you had the baking pan with some foil to catch the drippings. Subsequently, you air fried some wings, again with the drip pan resting on top of the heating elements with the addition of the baking pan covered with a bunch of aluminum foil. All this extra metal blocks much of the radiant, convectional and convective heat from the bottom elements. It also reduces the air flow across the bottom heated elements, further reducing the heat transfer to the food. At 7:15 you can see the baking pan resting on top of the drip pan along with some aluminum foil all directly above the heating elements. Again, these elements need to be exposed to quicken and improve the cooking process. At 9:05 you seem to have figured out that exposing the elements will improve your toasting results. However, you removed the drip pan rather than have it in its proper place below the bottom heating elements. The drip pan would have caught the crumbs. The 360 oven is a poor replacement for a conventional toaster for slices of bread. However, it makes phenomenal toasted garlic bread from italian bread. For your dehydrating test you again had all the aforementioned stuff blocking the heat from the elements and disrupting the proper air flow of the unit. This makes a big difference. Remove all the extraneous pans and foil for much better results - Not perfect, but much better. As far as the generation of smoke, I've seen only minimal amounts of smoke from the oven. The drippings collected on the overly heated drip pan (and/or baking pan/aluminum foil) may have been been the source of the smoke you witnessed. 1) I've found that having the heating elements unblocked and exposed improves cooking efficiency. 2) Using the top-most cooking position will help crisp food quicker by getting the food closer to the top heating elements. Use the second from top position for thicker foods to avoid direct contact with the top elements. Turning the food half way in the cooking cycle helps cook things evenly. 3) During normal air frying and rotisserie cooking, most - not all - of the drippings will miss the heating elements and land on the drip pan where they can be cleaned fairly easily. However, I've seen some smoke generated from fatty foods and BBQ sauce dripping on the exposed elements. Seems like a trade-off between some smoke vs cooking speed. The 360 oven is not a perfect appliance. I agree that it takes some "finagling" to get the results you want.
Thanks for the very insightful comment. I completely messed up with the drip tray. I tried it under the coil originally but it didnt fit. I guessed it was a misprint. I later learned I was wrong after a few nice youtubers helped me out. Silly me, I was putting it in backwards. I ended up putting out another video correcting my mistake and putting a chicken through the rotisserie process. I also refused my impulse to put in any foil or a drip tray below the food. You are right, there should not be anything obstructing the food while cooking. I did read that in the directions but didn't listen - ha. Thanks again for your comment. If you want to see my updated corrected video click here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html Have a great day!
Great review - Thanks! I received this same oven for Christmas and I am experimenting also. I do have a couple of comments. 1) According to the instructions, the drip tray should be placed on the very bottom, below the heating element. This may be the reason the paint came off. 2) I do like the toast better in this oven compared to my toaster. The oven, even though it takes a little longer, toast and dries the bread throughout - my toaster does great toasting the outside of bread, but not so great inside which causes it to be a little soggy when topped with butter. 3) I totally agree with your wife, that if possible, use the oven outside when air frying and using rotisserie (or using under the stove hood). It will smoke up the house.
Wow! Thanks. You were totally right about the drip tray. I originally tried to fit it under the element but it wouldn't go under. A little finagling right now and it sure worked. Airfrying and rotisserie outside is a must. It's not just the potential of smoke but also the smell of cooking that permeates the house. Thanks again for your tips and comments. Have a great day!
Just got one our son and daughter-in-law gave us. It’s missing some of the accessories but I can’t wait to use it. Yours is the first video I’ve seen to learn how to use it.
I've just received my Emeril air fryer and read the manual and it clearly states NOT to cover the drip tray with foil as it will overheat the unit. Perhaps that is the cause of your smoke. I enjoyed your review and did subscribe to your channel.
you are correct...they do recommend not to use foil...that being said they don't clean my machine either...lol. My problem in this video was where I put the drip tray....it is supposed to go under the elements...sadly it just slid right in above them (I corrected this in a later review). Thanks for stopping by and commenting. happy cooking!
I've had two Simply Ming air fryers. The first one was a breeze to clean, but on his jumbo one, the finish is different and much harder to clean. I hate the shape of all regular air fryers and have had my eye on the one you're reviewing. The other cooks very well, especially if you put a pit tin in them or foil to keep them clean, but I hate the shape. Thank you for reviewing this. I think I would like the Emeril model.
Kinda reminds me of the oil-less Turkey fryers. Cooked some ribs with it and they were great. The turkey on the other hand..... not so much and took about 3 hours to cook. BTW knife set... I like Wusthof. There $$$ but you get what you pay for.
I bought the 360 air fryer. Reading the don'ts you can't use it on Formica, by your fridge or stove. I was told to put a board under it. The shipping back is more than I paid for the fryer, I paid $200.00. I wish I could sell it to someone. haven't used it
I believe your problem with the element burning the drip tray is the drip tray goes below the element. I almost made the same mistake but the quick start guide says to put it below. Just got mine yesterday and haven’t used it yet. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the tip my friend. I originally tried it on the bottom it didn't fit I was putting it in backwards. I'll be releasing a new-update video today. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
You can leave your drip pan with aluminum foil covering all the time. It goes under the electric coils as explained in the directions. Someone suggested wet paper towel in the drip pan to stop smoking when grease drips on the elements.
I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed he had done this. Reason for the toaster not to work on the bottom and then for the crumbs. I didn't want to duplicate efforts. GREAT CATCH Martha!
i love the toaster! it toasts evenly and amazing for all kinds of breads and bagels. definitely only leave the drip pain in under the bottom heating elements. i made the flank steak recipe in Emeril's book and it was great. Has anybody used the rotisserie basket that they have on the website? i think that would be a great thing for rotating fries etc.
You were suppose to put the tray the other way around and under the heating elements. Then your toast will toast on both sides and no crumbs on the bottom, instead they will fall into the drip tray. Mine will be here this weekend, and I am looking fo recipes when I came across your video. Sorry to sound like a know it all, I just thought the tip might help you in the future. 😊
I just bought the Emeril air fryer & I must have gotten a good deal. I only paid $160.47 total & accessories were NOT extra. Mine came with the rotissirie spit; 2 racks; 2 crisper trays; the cookie sheet & the drip tray, & recipe book 👍. I'm still learning, as with any new appliance there is a learning curve. The function everyone is really anxious to use is Dehydrate. This bunch wants beef jerky!!
The crumb tray can go below the bottom heating element so that you can toast the top and bottom of your toast at once. I got my Emeril Lagasse 360 Oven at Walmart for about $149, and it weighs less than my Sharp Microwave. I use it for air frying, and I also did make a cake with it awhile back, and it did come out delicious. I plan to make a strawberry angel food cake with it next. Today, I plan to roast some potatoes with the air frying feature, and some chicken tenderloins with it as well. I like my little oven. I found your channel and subscribed.
I recently bought the 360 Plus. There's nothing I've seen that actually explains what the differences are with all of his models, and it looks like you have the XL model. I paid $169 for it at Walmart. I just did a 3 Lb Eye Roast in it today, with the rotisserie, and it turned out fine, at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, then I added another 15, but probably would lower that the next time. I also could not find in their "manual", how to Preheat this thing. Also my drip pan fits underneath the bottom heating elements. I've used it alot this past wk with the Reheat feature. I also love a half bagel in the morning with my breakfast, and I only have it set on 1 for quantity, and only on 1 for "darkness" and it comes out just right. I have not used any of the Air Fry functions yet. SO I bought it while my wife was out of town visiting family of hers! haha....I retired recently so I do 98% of the cooking anyway, so I will enjoy playing around and testing this. It replaced a toaster oven.
We have had our fryer for 8 months now and we love it! Bought it on sale for 129.00. We have done everything but use the rotisserie. Our oven recently died and we don't mind waiting the month to replace it because we use the fryer so much. We haven't had any of the issues you had and wonder if your problems stemmed from adding aluminum foil to the drip tray? Doing that puts it closer to the heating element and may just heat the drip tray too much.
Nice set up but I don’t like the smoke inside the house bit. I’ve heard the air fryer does wings really well I’m glad to see you confirm that. Great review as always Jeff, thanks
If you notice while you dehydrated and while you did wings and fries you covered up the bottom element with your pans. Put you drip tray under the element and don't put the bake pan in the same time as the other pans. I have this oven and it works great for me. I have not dehydrated.
I bought mine XL 50 bucks new had small dent. the one pan is a baking pan not a crumb catcher the drop pan is at bottom under elements toast does take long but at least I don't have one more thing on the counter. Thank you for the video
Thanks for the review. It's disappointing that the products are never as good as they say. It's so helpful to see people actually use it and see how it really works. Probably will not be getting this one.
i got the 360 plus yesterday. did stuffed pork chops and chicken breasts so far. had the same problem with the marks on the drip tray. i always used to put foil in my toaster ovens but i saw on here somewhere it said never put foil in there something about raising temperature. cant wait to try different things in it. i got lucky and found one on clearance for $58.00
I have the Pampered Chef Air Fryer...& LOVE IT!...does everything Exactly as You'd expect...and cleaning is a breeze. & It has the lift bar to remove rotisserie...and shiskabobs...
You are absolutely correct mine did too. I tried to put it in (backwards) and it didnt fit, but it fit like. Glove right above the elements. I corrected it in a later video. Happy cooking. Check out new video if interested: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
When I air fry wings in my regular air fryer , time is about the same. Had it for years, basket is a mess. Coating gone . I've been looking at this one as a replacement. Still unsure. I do like the controls as I am legally blind. Thanks for an informative video
Thanks for reviewing this product. My mom gave me this for Christmas, can't wait to try it! Looking forward to doing a roast like yours :) Thanks again for sharing your work with us
Got this for Christmas. It's ok, does everything well except I found chicken wings were a bust. Took my wings almost 50 minutes and they just weren't that great. My old NuWave air fryer did a way better job. This is great as a toaster oven. Nice review.
I have this machine and I love it I think you supposed to leave the drip tray in and take out the bottom pan to do the toast I had no problem with that but you were right about the bottom tray the drip tray very bad very cheaply made but I really love the oven and I use it everyday
Had mine for about 6 months before the spring which holds the door shut broke. Only a 90 day warranty, it should be more. Took about an hour to take it apart and fix it using a rivet which I know not everybody has. I agree this is a good product and we use it a lot. Just wish the quality control was better. Door should be the last thing to break in my opinion. Oh well, at least it was repairable and I had the right tools to do the job.
If you're getting smoked out when using the air fryer, then you're doing something wrong. I've used the air fry function dozens of times on all types of food since I purchased my unit several months ago and never had a smoke issue. My experience with the toast function has been excellent. Kinda makes sense that you wouldn't get an even toasting or the toasting times would be altered if you left the pan & basket in the unit. You're worried about crumbs, but that's what the drip tray is for. As for the drip tray, I saw another reply that correctly pointed out that it goes under the heating elements. I believe that's in the setup instructions.
The smoke came from grease dripping on heating element. I demonstrated in this video: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Interesting. I've used the rotisserie a few times and don't recall a drip/smoke issue. I'll keep my eye on that the next time I use it. I've seen some suggestions online to use the rack & baking pan in the first slot to catch excessive drippings, but I'm pretty sure that will affect cooking times and efficiency by covering the lower heating elements.
Great review Jeff.... I purchased the Emeril PowerXL360 with fingers crossed.... it was more moneythan I hoped to spend but I was willing to try it. (I had ORIGINALLY purchased the PowerXL Airfryer/Grill which failed immediately with every function so I returned to store after 2 months of fighting with the mfg and the store gave me a full refund and they did not seem surprised that it was returned ) SO FAR, The Emeril product is awesome. I actually airfryed in preset time and my toast is perfect and baking and reheating are also what one would expect. I hope it all continues. I have not tried the rotisserie yet, but after your video I certainly will. The down side of this is the mfg is the same, TriStar which I didn't know until I got it home.!!! Hopefully The Emeril product will continue to perform and I wont have to worry.
I like 3 prong on rotisserie. , but I really like how easy it seems to find and start working.. I bought Kalorik MAX. But if it hadn't been for YOU showing me how to work to get it to START, I WOULD STILL BE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO START. THANK YOU THEIR DIRECTIONS WERE NONEXISTENT.
Apparently, not sure if others have mentioned it, but the instructions say not to put the foil on the farthest bottom tray as it can cause overheating. This is probably what happened too your tray.
We have a Air Dryer 360 and have used it for about 3 months. The biggest complaint is when we cook ribs or a hole chicken the grease is so bad that it runs out of the air fryer onto the counter top. The smoke sets off the two smoke alarms which are located in the den and the living room. But with all that said we still like .
I bought a Power XL 10-in-1 1500W 6-qt Pro XLT Air Fryer Oven w/ Rotisser Slate Shipped on 0 Power XL 10-in-1 1500W 6-qt Pro XLT Air Fryer Oven w/ Rotisser the same thing on the crumb plate the paint burned off but I still use it
I have a Wolfgang Puck Bistro collection oven / convection oven had it for over 3 years it does the job . I also have an air fryer however the oven / convection oven is the go to .
you're right...most of these do not recommend aluminum...something about heat disbursement. Also, when I use it outside it is on a covered porch. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I love this element! Haven't used my actual oven in 2 years. Don't use aluminum foil in it that's why it smokes. The drip tray is for your toast crumbs. Paid 129.00 for mine.
Your blocking the heat with that tray above the heating elements. The drip tray goes under the elements. I’m assuming that’s why your air fry time is longer.
Ha, I learned that a little too late. That is probably a reason for the slower cook times. When I slid it in it worked perfectly - so of course I thought it was right..not so. I corrected this in a subsequent video. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
I just bought this and got it for 139. Which I heard was a great price. I'm going to make lots of beef jerky. My sister made me some and i was sold. But you gave me a great idea, i could make gyro meat with this. yummy . You should try it.. I'll let you know how it comes out.😁 thank you. Subscribed. 💖
During your cooking, there were so many edits for each item that was cooking at the time, which did not show the from start to finish for food shown; for example the Toast was in different positions on the grill (edits)
We have one of those Ronco Rotisserie cooker. It works OK BUT now Sam's club has the rotisserie chicken already cooked for under $ 5.00. I can't buy a chicken and cook it for that price. That burning of the drip pan concerns me. I saw one of these in Sam's club and picked it up. It is very light weight as compared to other all-in-one devices.
How's the noise level? 1 review said it's not quiet the noise got on her nerves. Not saving $ using 1800 watt 5 min for toast every day vs toaster 2min toaster Also a toaster oven shouldn't be left alone 6 hrs.
The new AF on the block is the KALORIK OvenMaxx ($200+ free shipping) that I just bought to replace 2+ decades of using various NuWave ovens . It has a bigger capacity than Emeralds. It also appears that one can rotisserie a much bigger chicken then the Emerald, and roast a 12 pound turkey. The OvenMaxx has a tool for removing the rotisserie bar
@@Jeffreviews4u The manual sucks and the cookbook is weak sauce. I thought the rotisserie was bigger ;( and learning how to activate it for various cooking times/temps was not at all intuitive to me. Still struggling with it. Biggest disappointment so far is a 4.6 pound chicken is too big for the rotisserie
@@roberthart9886 I just posted part 1 if my review. You are correct about the manual...a lot if trial and error... thanks for the info about the chicken. Check out my review if interested: ruclips.net/video/D9s1OzN1aq8/видео.html
I had the same problem you did... then I realized that the instructions direct you to put the drip tray BELOW the lower heating element. You will find that your heating time will be accurate and your toast will be perfect!
Just testing to see of others read the direction...Just kidding...It was a mistake. Not sure why it fit right in...I released and updated video...check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
Let's try the rotisserie feature on a chicken: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
After you put the drip tray below the heating elements with the rotisserie chicken, do you think the cook times will change for these items in this video?
@@jimtidmorejr7891 Hi. I would definitely think things would cook more quickly without having the bottom heating elements blocked. The drip tray still gets kind of weird over time just from having spots cleaned off. It really pays to do cleanup up immediately.
I have the same unit, but luckily got three baskets and two racks with mine. A 3 pound chicken tightly tied up produced almost no smoke. The drippings fell between the heating elements, for the most part. I think a bigger chicken or roast produces more smoke.
I’m sure someone must’ve told you by now, but the drip tray goes under the bottom heating elements. There should be no other empty trays below the tray you were trying to cook from. It really does impede the heat and things take longer to cook.
Doing that correctly will also improve the toasting feature. It does a great job on toast. Especially good for large slices of bread.
Lastly, I have discovered that cooking chicken wings or tenders and fries separately works best. Otherwise it takes forever for anything to get crisp.
I just discovered your channel. 😃
@@marywinter8216 Thanks for the tips. Where'd you buy yours?
@@Mamabear1138 I bought it from a late night TV infomercial. I’m guessing the extras were a special. This would have been about six months ago. I know many of the one bought in retail stores like Bed Bath and Beyond only come with the one rack and basket. I’m guessing you can buy extras on his website, but that doesn’t seem quite fair.
I just got one of these and been playing around with it. one thing I've noticed in your video is you have the drip tray sitting on top of the bottom heating element and it should be under. that would help with the toasting part lol.
The heating elements being underneath the drip tray is almost certainly the cause of the longer cooking times, as well.
You are making the same mistake I made initially until my girlfriend showed me the drip tray goes under the bottom elements. No foil for me. I use parchment paper in my crisper tray and have no drips.
Yeah...very frustrating that it fit right in. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try the parchment paper.
Is this perhaps why it took his wings so much longer to cook? From blocking the bottom heating elements?
I have the 360 oven and I absolutely love it; it does take a little longer for air frying but it all come out wonderful!! I bake in it as well, no real complaints
Thanks for sharing about your experience with the airfryer.
My mom bought my sister and I this nifty air fryer. We tried to do sweet potato fries and they were soft not crunchy. We watched your review and found that the bottom tray needed to be removed, thank you so much for doing this video. We took notes on everything you did...you're a life saver!
I subscribed. Now I'm going to watch you review the smokeless grill because I have one too but never used it.
You are so sweet to take the time to do this. Thanks again and many blessings.
Jeff,
Thank you, thank you. This was what I've asked my husband for for Christmas. Quite frankly, for the cost, I wasn't impressed by the results you got. Rotissierie awesome, but air fryer smoking, dehydrator not thorough and toaster too long. No way.. Now, I am leaning toward kaloric. Thank you for saving us a chunk-a-change. By the way, your reviews are a huge help.
I bought this product and have been easing into it! But, watching your video, I am going to use it everyday! Thank You sooo much for teaching me how to use this awesome product! I have subscribed to your site and I am excited to learn from you! BTW, I am a retired teacher who still loves to learn (we are lifelong learners), and YOU are a great teacher!! Thanks!🥰
I do love cooking with the 360 - it is pretty easy to use...and to let you in on a little secret, I was a teacher in a previous life...Thanks for the time you spent working with our kids!
I wanted to trade up from my Cuisinart Convection Oven that's been going strong for over 12 years ($99 at Costco) as it doesn't have an air frying feature. But everyone I've watched has given this Oven such a mediocre review. It strikes me as just a more advanced table top convection oven. See no reason to trade up. You helped me make my decision. I appreciate the review. Thanks.
If you have something that is working for you I wouldn't upgrade either. This was a pretty good product and has a lot of really neat options. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Air fryers are pretty much convection style ovens
Your Cuisinart Convection IS an air fryer!! The term "air fryer" is just a marketing gimmick used for tabletop convection ovens.
Just purchased this about 2 weeks ago and I love it 🥰. Used it for thanksgiving pies and they turned our awesome. Yesterday I cooked a pork loin on the rotisserie and it turned out so delicious, trying rotisserie chicken for the first time at this very moment! Best 250.00 I ever spent
That's awesome, thanks for sharing and happy cooking!. Here's the chicken I made on the 360. ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
I have one of these. I used it last night to air fry meatloaf. It came out perfect. I have a glass baking dish that fits in there perfect. I baked a 2lb. meatloaf for 40 minutes ( it takes 1 1/2 hrs. in the oven), at 400 degrees. I use it all the time, no complaints. I got it because I have a bad back and it is hard to get things in and out of my regular oven. I would buy again.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing your experience with this item. It is pretty versatile. Thanks again.
Hello... The first time I saw the 360, I was sold . I like the 360 because of the versatility and size. This is similar to a new concept table top unit that utilized convection method to cook. I have been drying fruits , vegetables, and meat , off and on for 30 years..This small version will be just the right size in my retirement years ....
With all of your cooking, you are going to give Emeril a run for his money - lol. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I have a cuisinart Air fryer toaster oven for over 2 years. I love it. I use it for everything. Especially the air fryer. Large basket. Great.
They are a lot of fun to cook with. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Got one for xmas. Used it to do some deer jerky. Worked great, 160-175 deg for 2.5-3 hrs. Downside is you can only do small batches at a time. The oven or a smoker will do 5x larger batches. I Definitely want to try a few more things like wings, pizza, fries.
Great, honest and upbeat review. I love this product so far for the past three weeks. A needed addition for my kitchen and worth the price (on sale at BJ's for $159.00). My favorite setting is broil( for my BBQ wings/spicy Jerk chicken wings- lamb chops-so good!). Looking forward to trying all of the settings. I recommend this product.
I do miss BJs Wholesale Club. I moved to the south and all we have is Sam's club. You got a deal on this airfryer. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe
@@Jeffreviews4u thank you and you too stay safe!
👍
Was going to buy this however I don’t need a smoke filled house!
@@cwebb1955 no smoke over here. I guess it depends on what is being cooked. But I use it almost every day and so so good.
Hi Jeff. I love your reviews. I just wanted to point out that the drip tray goes UNDER the heating elements on the bottom. That is why your toast didn't brown on the bottom and could be why your coming times took longer. I've had mine for about 8 months now and I like it. Take care and keep up the awesome reviews!
You're absolutely correct. I sure thought it was in the right way because it slid right in... sadly I was wrong - lol. I put out another video correcting it, happy cooking!
Thanks I just bought my Emeril Lag air fryer… I appreciate you showing hot to use the spits!
Happy to help! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
The drip pan is suppose to go under the lower element. I turn the air on everything I cook in it. It cuts the time in half! I’ve never had smoke in the kitchen from this unit. My drip pan never has discolored! You might have a “lemon “ I dehydrated pears all summer long and they took 24 hours but that didn’t surprise me. I love my unit!
We have one. It's hit or miss for us. I love it for grilled cheese, toast, reheating pizza, air fry french fries etc. So far it's a miss on roasted cauliflower, rising crust pizza, and regular pizza. The rising crust pizza was a doughy mess. The cauliflower was somehow both a dark brown and still undercooked crunchy (I even lowered the temp for the second half of cooking). The air fry basket comes clean easy in a dishwasher but I can see it being a problem if you have to scrub it by hand.
Thanks for sharing your experience cooking and cleaning. Have a great day and stay safe
What did you use for the grilled cheese? The roasting pan? Aluminum foil on the fry basket? What setting did you use? How about expounding...
@@Jeffreviews4u Hummmmmmmm, no suggestions?
@@dobegrama hey friend, just so you know YT doesn't send me notifications for comments under comments. I just happened to be going through and saw this. I would cook grilled cheese on the rack. It may be good to put something under in case cheese drips. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I read that it’s very loud and Smokey
I have had it for over a year; I love it so much! $139 on HSN today!
Just received my Power 360 today. I know your review is 2 years old so there appears to be some improvement in what the accessories that are included now. Mine came with 2 wire racks, 3 crisper baskets, 1 baking pan, 1 rotisserie spit and 1 rotisserie stand. The price I paid was $169.96 + tax.
Wow...thanks for sharing the new items that come with the 360...happy cooking...also make sure your crumb/drip tray goes under the heating element. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Yes, the way they've made it that's the only way the drip tray will fit is under the heating rods. Also in the owner manual they say to never use any foil on the drip tray as it can cause the unit to over heat.
@@camcaman I'm glad they changed it. My drip pan slipped pretty easily above the heating element...all air fryers say no to foil...parchment paper is a good alternative...I've even heard some use silicone.
@@Jeffreviews4u I've heard about using parchment paper also.
I think the marks on the drip pan are from you setting the pan on the coils. It goes under the coils. The coils seem to have burned the pan with it sitting on top of it. Just sayin.......
That makes sense to me...I sure put it in the wrong spot. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
If you put the drip pan under heating elements, won't things drip onto the heating elements.... ?
@@dhLotan yes, but there is no way around that....just wipe it off.....
Theresa Ellis I thought like you. I put mine under the element and it smoked so bad I thought it would catch fire. I’m going to try it like he did. So far I’m not very impressed with mine.
dhLotan your right and the smoke from doing it this is horrible
Homemade Turkey Burgers, homemade Turkey meatballs, marinated boneless skinless chicken, homemade popcorn chicken, baked fish, baked peanuts, homemade cornbread, homemade banana bread, eggs, homemade steak fries, are just some of the items I've learned to cook using the Emeril power 360 air fryer, and I love it.
Wow - there has been a lot of cooking going on at your house! that's awesome! thanks for sharing.
@@Jeffreviews4u You're welcome buddy
@@Calvin144 👍😀
The Pampered Chef Air Fryer!!! It has the hook so you can get your rotisserie out without using your ove glove and silicone mitt. It also does not NEED to preheat! I LOVE my Pampered Chef Air Fryer! I searched for almost 2 years for the perfect Air Fryer. So glad I was patient!
The hook is key. I wish the 360 came wit one.
The review by Jeff was awesome. he displayed and answered all of my pending questions, that I had, regarding especially on the proper way to use the rotisserie unit of the air power. The air power does so much, for the price. This fabulous machine will be used almost everyday, to experiment and perfect the usage, for me and my family. I am so pleased with it. Thank Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer 360.
It is a sweet machine. If you want to know more about the rotisserie feature, I put out a 2nd video. If interested check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
Have a great day and stay safe.
Thanks. I just bought one at Christmas for 103.00 at Kohls. Glad for all the feedback!
Hi, Jeff. I just watched your review of Emeril Lagasse's Power Air Fryer 360 and I loved it. Very thorough and easy to listen to. We bought this product today and immediately made a Rotisserie Chicken. We had difficulty only because we didn't know how to truss a chicken. Too bad we didn't video that process because it was a comedy of errors. Once we got past that, we did alright...until the electricity went out in our area due to weather. It had cooked for almost 30 minutes (of the recommended 55) and we just left it in the Air Fryer for the duration of the power outage (almost 2 hours). When we were able to resume cooking, we set it for another 15 minutes. We didn't have high hopes, but it turned out great! It was a bit messy because we didn't line the drip tray as you did, but we will next time. And there will be a next time!
This video may help you on your next rotisserie. ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html thanks for stopping by and commenting.
In reference to the chicken wings @8:05, chicken only needs to be 165 degrees or above, so when they were at 170, they should be classified as cooked.
I like mine crispy. Extra crispy if possible. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank you for the review! Just a quick comment on the drip tray, from watching other review videos, the drip tray slides "under" the bottom heating element.
Thanks, I released an update today where I highlighted your comment. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I've included the link below if you are interested:

I treated myself to a 360 French Door Airfryer - and it hasn't arrived yet -- this is my 3rd airfryer - - just cause I'm old and love gadgets. I really enjoyed your reviews only thing I have an exception to is your choice of football teams --- and yes I'm kidding - - we may not agree with teams but thanks for your reviews.
I bought the 360XL, Love mine, have not used my big oven in 2 months, hour less for the rotisserie Chicken than my gas grill rotisserie and just as good, can do 2 small game chickens at same time, great machine
Not to mention using the 360 instead of the oven keeps the house cool in the summer. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u If the unit gets so hot on the outside, wouldn't it heat up the house, too?
Just unboxed my 360XL with accessory kit and can’t wait to get started. Note that the drip pan goes under the elements, it’s easy to put above elements but then burns pan. One thing I can’t figure is the timer, doesn’t seem to be adjustable on air fry mode so I guess you have to use a separate timer if you want less than 18 minutes. I need to play with this more and have been hesitant to purchase an air fryer but hear great reviews. Also on Emerils site I found a 25% discount code which helped make the decision. Thanks for the video.
you are quite right about the drip pan. I read about the location in the directions but it wouldn't fit (I was putting it in backwards)....it sure fit above the heating elements. I corrected this in a subsequent video. Thanks for sharing about the discount code.
That's what I noticed that he had the bake pan over the bottom elements. That's why his cooking was off. I baked a mac and cheese and it took half the time my oven does.
You can use the drip tray for toast. Don’t forget the toast function has a light and dark setting you can also select.
Hi Jeff, I enjoyed your review and agree with some of your conclusions. The 360 is somewhat slower to air fry a variety of foods like chicken wings than my generic 4 quart bargain air fryer. For routine air frying of small batches, my basic and cheap air fryer is significantly faster and produces crispy food. There are a few ways to improve the cooking results and reduce cooking time.
A few comments about your set-up: At 4:50 I see that your bottom drip pan is resting above the two bottom heating elements. The drip pan needs to be BELOW the heating elements. It slips below them and thus exposes the heating elements for more direct exposure of the food to heat. This is probably why it discolored - as seen at 2:15. While you rotisseried the roast you had the baking pan with some foil to catch the drippings. Subsequently, you air fried some wings, again with the drip pan resting on top of the heating elements with the addition of the baking pan covered with a bunch of aluminum foil. All this extra metal blocks much of the radiant, convectional and convective heat from the bottom elements. It also reduces the air flow across the bottom heated elements, further reducing the heat transfer to the food. At 7:15 you can see the baking pan resting on top of the drip pan along with some aluminum foil all directly above the heating elements. Again, these elements need to be exposed to quicken and improve the cooking process. At 9:05 you seem to have figured out that exposing the elements will improve your toasting results. However, you removed the drip pan rather than have it in its proper place below the bottom heating elements. The drip pan would have caught the crumbs. The 360 oven is a poor replacement for a conventional toaster for slices of bread. However, it makes phenomenal toasted garlic bread from italian bread.
For your dehydrating test you again had all the aforementioned stuff blocking the heat from the elements and disrupting the proper air flow of the unit. This makes a big difference. Remove all the extraneous pans and foil for much better results - Not perfect, but much better. As far as the generation of smoke, I've seen only minimal amounts of smoke from the oven. The drippings collected on the overly heated drip pan (and/or baking pan/aluminum foil) may have been been the source of the smoke you witnessed.
1) I've found that having the heating elements unblocked and exposed improves cooking efficiency. 2) Using the top-most cooking position will help crisp food quicker by getting the food closer to the top heating elements. Use the second from top position for thicker foods to avoid direct contact with the top elements. Turning the food half way in the cooking cycle helps cook things evenly. 3) During normal air frying and rotisserie cooking, most - not all - of the drippings will miss the heating elements and land on the drip pan where they can be cleaned fairly easily. However, I've seen some smoke generated from fatty foods and BBQ sauce dripping on the exposed elements. Seems like a trade-off between some smoke vs cooking speed. The 360 oven is not a perfect appliance. I agree that it takes some "finagling" to get the results you want.
Thanks for the very insightful comment. I completely messed up with the drip tray. I tried it under the coil originally but it didnt fit. I guessed it was a misprint. I later learned I was wrong after a few nice youtubers helped me out. Silly me, I was putting it in backwards. I ended up putting out another video correcting my mistake and putting a chicken through the rotisserie process. I also refused my impulse to put in any foil or a drip tray below the food. You are right, there should not be anything obstructing the food while cooking. I did read that in the directions but didn't listen - ha. Thanks again for your comment.

Have a great day!
Great review - Thanks!
I received this same oven for Christmas and I am experimenting also. I do have a couple of comments. 1) According to the instructions, the drip tray should be placed on the very bottom, below the heating element. This may be the reason the paint came off. 2) I do like the toast better in this oven compared to my toaster. The oven, even though it takes a little longer, toast and dries the bread throughout - my toaster does great toasting the outside of bread, but not so great inside which causes it to be a little soggy when topped with butter. 3) I totally agree with your wife, that if possible, use the oven outside when air frying and using rotisserie (or using under the stove hood). It will smoke up the house.
Wow! Thanks. You were totally right about the drip tray. I originally tried to fit it under the element but it wouldn't go under. A little finagling right now and it sure worked.
Airfrying and rotisserie outside is a must. It's not just the potential of smoke but also the smell of cooking that permeates the house.
Thanks again for your tips and comments. Have a great day!
Plus foil can do this also. and on the grill
Take the oven outside? Like on the deck? That seems inconvenient.
@@blackmownkey more convenient than getting smoke in the house - ha. It's not that far from the kitchen.
For us apartment dwellers it is, but I get it. I have a mini Dash and I love it but yes, things can get smokey depending on what you're making.
Looks amazing! I am putting this on my shopping list to buy, hopefully before the end of the year. Thank you for sharing! I appreciate you.
I am a fan of the 360, I recently picked up the French door 360 and I use that nearly every day. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Just received this air fryer forChristmas and found your video extremely helpful. I enjoyed listening to you, very good presentation. Thanks Jeff.
Happy to help, make sure you put crumb tray under heating elements. Have fun cooking.
Just got one our son and daughter-in-law gave us. It’s missing some of the accessories but I can’t wait to use it. Yours is the first video I’ve seen to learn how to use it.
I believe you can buy accessories...Ive seen them on amazon and ebay...may be an option. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I've just received my Emeril air fryer and read the manual and it clearly states NOT to cover the drip tray with foil as it will overheat the unit. Perhaps that is the cause of your smoke. I enjoyed your review and did subscribe to your channel.
you are correct...they do recommend not to use foil...that being said they don't clean my machine either...lol. My problem in this video was where I put the drip tray....it is supposed to go under the elements...sadly it just slid right in above them (I corrected this in a later review). Thanks for stopping by and commenting. happy cooking!
I've had two Simply Ming air fryers. The first one was a breeze to clean, but on his jumbo one, the finish is different and much harder to clean. I hate the shape of all regular air fryers and have had my eye on the one you're reviewing. The other cooks very well, especially if you put a pit tin in them or foil to keep them clean, but I hate the shape. Thank you for reviewing this. I think I would like the Emeril model.
I too don't like the shape of traditional air fryers. This one is bigger and wider. I like the capacity. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Kinda reminds me of the oil-less Turkey fryers. Cooked some ribs with it and they were great. The turkey on the other hand..... not so much and took about 3 hours to cook. BTW knife set... I like Wusthof. There $$$ but you get what you pay for.
I'll need to try some ribs. They are one of my favorite. Thanks for the tip about the knives. Have a great day!
I bought the 360 air fryer. Reading the don'ts you can't use it on Formica, by your fridge or stove. I was told to put a board under it. The shipping back is more than I paid for the fryer, I paid $200.00. I wish I could sell it to someone. haven't used it
That's terrible about the return shipping! I've seen a few listed locally that seem to sell pretty quick. Maybe that will help. Thanks for sharing.
I think 1 thing to add is if there is prep/conditioning you need to do to the new appliance...if any. Like burn off...
All of these machines will have a cook off period. I just reviewed the Maxx air fryer oven and it required 20 minutes at 500°
I believe your problem with the element burning the drip tray is the drip tray goes below the element. I almost made the same mistake but the quick start guide says to put it below. Just got mine yesterday and haven’t used it yet. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the tip my friend. I originally tried it on the bottom it didn't fit I was putting it in backwards. I'll be releasing a new-update video today. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

@@zynzane9680 thanks!
You can leave your drip pan with aluminum foil covering all the time. It goes under the electric coils as explained in the directions. Someone suggested wet paper towel in the drip pan to stop smoking when grease drips on the elements.
I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed he had done this. Reason for the toaster not to work on the bottom and then for the crumbs. I didn't want to duplicate efforts. GREAT CATCH Martha!
i love the toaster! it toasts evenly and amazing for all kinds of breads and bagels. definitely only leave the drip pain in under the bottom heating elements. i made the flank steak recipe in Emeril's book and it was great. Has anybody used the rotisserie basket that they have on the website? i think that would be a great thing for rotating fries etc.
Hello I am thinking to buy one. With the heating element exposed to juices etc dripping does that cause a lot of smoke or damage to the element.
You were suppose to put the tray the other way around and under the heating elements. Then your toast will toast on both sides and no crumbs on the bottom, instead they will fall into the drip tray. Mine will be here this weekend, and I am looking fo recipes when I came across your video. Sorry to sound like a know it all, I just thought the tip might help you in the future. 😊
That is correct...sadly it fit right in the wrong spot. Have a great day and stay safe.
I bought my 360 in 1999 when I was on holiday in New York and I love it
Drip tray is supposed to be under the heat element. Use the baking pan at the bottom to catch the juices.
You are correct. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I just bought the Emeril air fryer & I must have gotten a good deal. I only paid $160.47 total & accessories were NOT extra. Mine came with the rotissirie spit; 2 racks; 2 crisper trays; the cookie sheet & the drip tray, & recipe book 👍. I'm still learning, as with any new appliance there is a learning curve. The function everyone is really anxious to use is Dehydrate. This bunch wants beef jerky!!
The crumb tray can go below the bottom heating element so that you can toast the top and bottom of your toast at once. I got my Emeril Lagasse 360 Oven at Walmart for about $149, and it weighs less than my Sharp Microwave. I use it for air frying, and I also did make a cake with it awhile back, and it did come out delicious. I plan to make a strawberry angel food cake with it next. Today, I plan to roast some potatoes with the air frying feature, and some chicken tenderloins with it as well. I like my little oven. I found your channel and subscribed.
I recently bought the 360 Plus. There's nothing I've seen that actually explains what the differences are with all of his models, and it looks like you have the XL model. I paid $169 for it at Walmart. I just did a 3 Lb Eye Roast in it today, with the rotisserie, and it turned out fine, at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, then I added another 15, but probably would lower that the next time. I also could not find in their "manual", how to Preheat this thing. Also my drip pan fits underneath the bottom heating elements. I've used it alot this past wk with the Reheat feature. I also love a half bagel in the morning with my breakfast, and I only have it set on 1 for quantity, and only on 1 for "darkness" and it comes out just right. I have not used any of the Air Fry functions yet. SO I bought it while my wife was out of town visiting family of hers! haha....I retired recently so I do 98% of the cooking anyway, so I will enjoy playing around and testing this. It replaced a toaster oven.
We have had our fryer for 8 months now and we love it! Bought it on sale for 129.00. We have done everything but use the rotisserie. Our oven recently died and we don't mind waiting the month to replace it because we use the fryer so much. We haven't had any of the issues you had and wonder if your problems stemmed from adding aluminum foil to the drip tray? Doing that puts it closer to the heating element and may just heat the drip tray too much.
Nice set up but I don’t like the smoke inside the house bit.
I’ve heard the air fryer does wings really well I’m glad to see you confirm that. Great review as always Jeff, thanks
I haven't had any trouble since I started cooking outside with it! Hahaha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
If you put a catch tray with foil below the air fry basket and put a little water in it, you may be able to prevent smoking.
Thanks for the tip! Have a great day and stay safe.
I have this 360 and love it. I have made all kinds of food. The ribs were great.
If you notice while you dehydrated and while you did wings and fries you covered up the bottom element with your pans. Put you drip tray under the element and don't put the bake pan in the same time as the other pans. I have this oven and it works great for me. I have not dehydrated.
yeah, I sure messed that one up. I corrected it in a later video. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I bought mine XL 50 bucks new had small dent. the one pan is a baking pan not a crumb catcher the drop pan is at bottom under elements toast does take long but at least I don't have one more thing on the counter. Thank you for the video
Nothing wrong with a scratch and dent sale! It is a handy little airfryer. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Thanks for the review. It's disappointing that the products are never as good as they say. It's so helpful to see people actually use it and see how it really works. Probably will not be getting this one.
They rarely are as good as they say. This one is ok bit leaves much to be desired. Thanks for the comment.
i got the 360 plus yesterday. did stuffed pork chops and chicken breasts so far. had the same problem with the marks on the drip tray. i always used to put foil in my toaster ovens but i saw on here somewhere it said never put foil in there something about raising temperature. cant wait to try different things in it. i got lucky and found one on clearance for $58.00
I have the Pampered Chef Air Fryer...& LOVE IT!...does everything Exactly as You'd expect...and cleaning is a breeze. & It has the lift bar to remove rotisserie...and shiskabobs...
My Emeril air fryer 360 directions said to put the drip pan under the bottom heating elements.
You are absolutely correct mine did too. I tried to put it in (backwards) and it didnt fit, but it fit like. Glove right above the elements. I corrected it in a later video. Happy cooking. Check out new video if interested: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html

12 mins for thawed chicken maybe? Not frozen.. awesome review!
you have a point there - thanks for stopping by and commenting.
When I air fry wings in my regular air fryer , time is about the same. Had it for years, basket is a mess. Coating gone . I've been looking at this one as a replacement. Still unsure. I do like the controls as I am legally blind. Thanks for an informative video
Funny
I think the problem with the paint burning off on the drip pan is that you need to place the drip pan under the elements....
It sure was... very frustrating that it fit right in.. lol. I corrected that in an update video. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thanks for reviewing this product. My mom gave me this for Christmas, can't wait to try it! Looking forward to doing a roast like yours :) Thanks again for sharing your work with us
Got this for Christmas. It's ok, does everything well except I found chicken wings were a bust. Took my wings almost 50 minutes and they just weren't that great. My old NuWave air fryer did a way better job. This is great as a toaster oven. Nice review.
I find that tweaking the cooking helps. I put out an updated video on this, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
The burning on the pan is from the foil usage. Says not to in the owners manual for that exact reason.
I have this machine and I love it I think you supposed to leave the drip tray in and take out the bottom pan to do the toast I had no problem with that but you were right about the bottom tray the drip tray very bad very cheaply made but I really love the oven and I use it everyday
Had mine for about 6 months before the spring which holds the door shut broke. Only a 90 day warranty, it should be more. Took about an hour to take it apart and fix it using a rivet which I know not everybody has. I agree this is a good product and we use it a lot. Just wish the quality control was better. Door should be the last thing to break in my opinion. Oh well, at least it was repairable and I had the right tools to do the job.
If you're getting smoked out when using the air fryer, then you're doing something wrong. I've used the air fry function dozens of times on all types of food since I purchased my unit several months ago and never had a smoke issue. My experience with the toast function has been excellent. Kinda makes sense that you wouldn't get an even toasting or the toasting times would be altered if you left the pan & basket in the unit. You're worried about crumbs, but that's what the drip tray is for. As for the drip tray, I saw another reply that correctly pointed out that it goes under the heating elements. I believe that's in the setup instructions.
The smoke came from grease dripping on heating element. I demonstrated in this video: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html

@@Jeffreviews4u Interesting. I've used the rotisserie a few times and don't recall a drip/smoke issue. I'll keep my eye on that the next time I use it. I've seen some suggestions online to use the rack & baking pan in the first slot to catch excessive drippings, but I'm pretty sure that will affect cooking times and efficiency by covering the lower heating elements.
@@dustydiamondpa thanks for the feedback.
Great review Jeff.... I purchased the Emeril PowerXL360 with fingers crossed.... it was more moneythan I hoped to spend but I was willing to try it. (I had ORIGINALLY purchased the PowerXL Airfryer/Grill which failed immediately with every function so I returned to store after 2 months of fighting with the mfg and the store gave me a full refund and they did not seem surprised that it was returned ) SO FAR, The Emeril product is awesome. I actually airfryed in preset time and my toast is perfect and baking and reheating are also what one would expect. I hope it all continues. I have not tried the rotisserie yet, but after your video I certainly will. The down side of this is the mfg is the same, TriStar which I didn't know until I got it home.!!! Hopefully The Emeril product will continue to perform and I wont have to worry.
I like 3 prong on rotisserie. , but I really like how easy it seems to find and start working.. I bought Kalorik MAX. But if it hadn't been for YOU showing me how to work to get it to START, I WOULD STILL BE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO START. THANK YOU THEIR DIRECTIONS WERE NONEXISTENT.
Apparently, not sure if others have mentioned it, but the instructions say not to put the foil on the farthest bottom tray as it can cause overheating. This is probably what happened too your tray.
I git one and I live it. I probably won't use dehydration part but everything else .
We have a Air Dryer 360 and have used it for about 3 months. The biggest complaint is when we cook ribs or a hole chicken the grease is so bad that it runs out of the air fryer onto the counter top. The smoke sets off the two smoke alarms which are located in the den and the living room. But with all that said we still like .
Read your instruction book. When tray gets full of grease, dump it. You are overloading it, and then forgetting to check level of grease.
This looks like a great product. I have wonderful things about air frying to cook food. Thanks for sharing your review Jeff. Have an amazing day.
I like airfrying but I really love the rotisserie part it's awesome! Thanks for checking it out.
Breviille is far superior.
Since you asked; I use the Iconites 20 Qt.
Thanks for sharing! Have a great day and stay safe.
This video was a great review of the Emeril 360 Air Fryer... Great job Jeff👍
Glad you liked it - Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I bought a Power XL 10-in-1 1500W 6-qt Pro XLT Air Fryer Oven w/ Rotisser Slate Shipped on 0
Power XL 10-in-1 1500W 6-qt Pro XLT Air Fryer Oven w/ Rotisser
the same thing on the crumb plate the paint burned off but I still use it
I have a Wolfgang Puck Bistro collection oven / convection oven had it for over 3 years it does the job . I also have an air fryer however the oven / convection oven is the go to .
If you get a lot of grease. You can use a turkey baster to get it out. From the right hand side.
The instructions clearly state not to use aluminum foil as it can cause overheating. It also says not to use outside.
you're right...most of these do not recommend aluminum...something about heat disbursement. Also, when I use it outside it is on a covered porch. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I love this element! Haven't used my actual oven in 2 years. Don't use aluminum foil in it that's why it smokes. The drip tray is for your toast crumbs. Paid 129.00 for mine.
Your blocking the heat with that tray above the heating elements. The drip tray goes under the elements. I’m assuming that’s why your air fry time is longer.
Ha, I learned that a little too late. That is probably a reason for the slower cook times. When I slid it in it worked perfectly - so of course I thought it was right..not so. I corrected this in a subsequent video. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
I just bought this and got it for 139. Which I heard was a great price. I'm going to make lots of beef jerky. My sister made me some and i was sold. But you gave me a great idea, i could make gyro meat with this. yummy . You should try it.. I'll let you know how it comes out.😁 thank you. Subscribed. 💖
Got mine at Wayfarer for $147 shipped and love it
You got a great price! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
The reason your airfryer took longer is because you had the bake pan over the bottom burners. Only the drip pan should be under the burners.
Thanks for taking the time to comment...you are right, the drip tray goes below the burners...sadly it slipped in without difficulty above it...haha
During your cooking, there were so many edits for each item that was cooking at the time, which did not show the from start to finish for food shown; for example the Toast was in different positions on the grill (edits)
We have one of those Ronco Rotisserie cooker. It works OK BUT now Sam's club has the rotisserie chicken already cooked for under $ 5.00. I can't buy a chicken and cook it for that price.
That burning of the drip pan concerns me.
I saw one of these in Sam's club and picked it up. It is very light weight as compared to other all-in-one devices.
How's the noise level? 1 review said it's not quiet the noise got on her nerves. Not saving $ using 1800 watt 5 min for toast every day vs toaster 2min toaster
Also a toaster oven shouldn't be left alone 6 hrs.
It makes a humming noise - just like other airfryers.
@@Jeffreviews4u They make noise. It has to do with the fan going.
The new AF on the block is the KALORIK OvenMaxx ($200+ free shipping) that I just bought to replace 2+ decades of using various NuWave ovens . It has a bigger capacity than Emeralds. It also appears that one can rotisserie a much bigger chicken then the Emerald, and roast a 12 pound turkey. The OvenMaxx has a tool for removing the rotisserie bar
Funny you mention that. Mine is on the way. I'm looking forward to it.
@@Jeffreviews4u The manual sucks and the cookbook is weak sauce. I thought the rotisserie was bigger ;( and learning how to activate it for various cooking times/temps was not at all intuitive to me. Still struggling with it. Biggest disappointment so far is a 4.6 pound chicken is too big for the rotisserie
@@roberthart9886 I just posted part 1 if my review. You are correct about the manual...a lot if trial and error... thanks for the info about the chicken. Check out my review if interested: ruclips.net/video/D9s1OzN1aq8/видео.html
Dehydrator companies say you should cut everything up to just a fourth of an inch thick or they take way longer to dry out.
I think my pineapple was a little thick but it was sure delicious. Thanks for checking out the video.
I bought one at Kohls a few weeks ago for $115.99. Good deal.
That is a good deal. Thanks for sharing!
What did you get with it for that.price did get 9 free gifts with that
I had the same problem you did... then I realized that the instructions direct you to put the drip tray BELOW the lower heating element. You will find that your heating time will be accurate and your toast will be perfect!
You're absolutely correct. Not sure why they made it so the drip tray fit so easily above the heating element. Thanks for sharing.
Jeff Your drip pan is burnt because you have it in wrong it goes below the elements not on top of them.
That's correct. I put out an updated video - check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
I'm trying to learn, I'm more confused now. thanks.
Why are you putting the drip tray on top of the heating elements? Put it under.
Just testing to see of others read the direction...Just kidding...It was a mistake. Not sure why it fit right in...I released and updated video...check it out here: ruclips.net/video/rXi5sIl5EdA/видео.html
