Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩🍳

As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.

Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.

So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀

In my opinion, the easiest method, that hands-down also produces the most delicious ribs, is a pressure cooker.

I have had mine a while. LOVE it!!! I just cooked a WHOLE chicken in it yesterday; not spatchcocked. Turned out great! I have also baked a cake in it, did salmon, steaks, roast, porkchops, etc. For those who question why ChefMode sets this device apart, it literally cooks from inside outward with Browning as its last level. The water is a gentle mist throughout cooks when water is required. I could go on more. Absolutely no regrets!

Fold the tapered end of salmon under the thick end for even cooking temperature. Just bought your book. Love spiral bound!

I used to watch videos from my favorite rib restaurant (Phils BBQ) to see what the heck they were doing in the back. So I determined they spicerub them up, put them in a commercial steam oven "Rational iCombi", and then they would take them out of there, sauce them up and toss them over a flaming grill and burn the sauce on. Very interesting possibilities with a mini combi steam oven.

I absolutely love this Dreo & the interface is amazing and yes I like your videos.

Great overview and demonstration. The Corosori Dual Blaze is hard to beat. The Dreo Combi Cooker looks really nice but the $360 price .v. the $150 Corosori III isn't justified. Seems like too many parts and components to fail and the basket doesn't look as large as the DB. Your previous vids showed how hot the glass windows get duing cooking. The thermometer seems cumbersome and fragile and would seemingly render the Dreo CC impotent if lost or damaged. As well, the water chamber may be harder or awkward to clean therefore inviting mold and other bacteria to grow over time if the unit does not allow for easy cleaning access. Thanks for the efforts put forth in all your fantastic videos. Best!!

It's relatively pricey and that was my main reservation when you did your first video on it, but the results were pretty impressive. I'd really like to see another video after you've lived with it a while, especially how easy it is to clean up, etc. Great video, as always.

Ok I got some ribs and can’t wait. I just made New York Strip Steak and WOW…. Absolutely delicious. Best appliance since my Ninja Speedi.

[uclajd]

I can confirm that ribs in the Dreo are very good. I haven't compared them to my pellet smoker yet, but surely easier than a smoker.

[robertingram]

Bought one after seeing your comparison video. Your introduction regarding many requests for "how to video" makes my point regarding total lack of any instruction manual. Simple things, like how to empty the water reservoir chamber when done cooking. Turn the machine upside down over sink or remove the reservoir ? We emailed customer service and got crickets, they know. Perhaps your taste tester dude could help them with an instruction manual. Perfect summer project for da boys. If your smartphone stupid, good luck updating firmware. These things in your comparison review might be helpful in making a high tech purchase decision vs old school.

[cynthiah]

I'll stick to Instant Pot to cook ribs then caramelize in the air fryer if I am not using the smoker. I don't like all that burn on the outside. I want more control.

[jukio]

Maybe, glaze the salmon with honey when it's getting closer to being done. That way it doesn't get all like that.

[chasklos]

Good morning Cathy. Could we use Liquid Smoke on Proteins? I think so.

[librarymarna]

Kathy - I know you did this video 5 months ago but when I first watched it I thought I really want to try ribs in my Dreo. Fast forward 5 months and tonight my husband and I both feasted on ribs for dinner. For empty nesters the amount cooked was perfect. Thank you for all of your videos and I love your cookbook!

[teddibear]

Can you like pan fey crumbled ground beef in this? Hands offish?

[JeremyPeeples]

Definitely tempted to get the Chefmaker as my next air fryer-style device - it looks pretty much perfect

[victorbitter]

It cooks well but doing ribs for more than 1 person with a medium appetite would be quite a chore.

[akanar_]

Every video I have seen of people cooking Salmon on this totally miss the step where the Salmon skin is supposed to face up.

[RaechelSykes]

I'm sticking with the Cosori Dual Blaze.

I’m a new follower as of today. I just started looking at a million videos of air fryer reviews in the last 2 weeks since I decided I wanted one. Your videos are so helpful. Order placed and I can’t wait!
