Emeril Everyday 6 QT Pressure Air Fryer, 5 Pc Accessory Pack, Silver

We purchased the 8qt online because we have a large family and I liked the idea of having the ceramic insert to make it easier to wash, after viewing it in a local store to compare to others and watching the infomercial for this machine. The physical store I was in didn’t have the largest size or ceramic insert.

We opened the box and used it the next day to make bacon and beef bourguignon, a recipe we saw on the infomercial. The recipe book that came with this machine was a little off….the picture SHOWED bacon for this recipie, but the recipie didn’t say to add it in, just to Cook it for the bacon fat? But everything else In the cookbook that came with the machine seems pretty spot on. We also made shrimp and ham jambalaya and made tons of bacon to test out what setting should be used for thin bacon, but it seems that this machine prefers THICK cut bacon for the best results. We plan to make Cajun fried chicken tonight. The recipie book is otherwise spot on by telling you which settings to use on the machine which is very helpful for a beginner to not have to guess. My only other criticism Of the cookbook that came with this machine is that it’s an 8qt machine but most of the recipies were for a family of 4?

Okay, enough about the cookbook, let’s talk about the machine itself. Was a little scared at first…we started our unboxing by reading the manual. This product can be dangerous if you don’t take the time to understand how to operate it. My husband was less fearful because he used the quick start guide first, which gave simple instructions on how to operate and no warnings.

But hands down, everything that comes out of this machine tastes gourmet and DELICIOUS!!! Which is helpful when you are in a Coronavirus induced lockdown and can’t eat out like you are used to. I have to hand it to Emeril for putting his name on such a good quality product. Imagine having perfectly made cheap cuts of meat Ready in an hour instead of 3-4 in the oven or 6-8 in a crockpot. Definitely a significant cost savings for a large family such as we have.

Having the air fryer to use after quickly cooking in the pressure cooker makes for perfectly browned cuts of meat instead of fully cooked but lacking in color meals. We save on kitchen cleanup because it is literally one pot cooking. We can now use our canning supplies to can fruit jams and vegetables in this machine. Right now we are looking to purchase additional accessories because although it comes with a few accessories to get started right away, we want to branch into making egg bites and sous vie meals and those accessories are not included in the box.

Overall we are very happy with our purchase. I’m surprised to be so excited about an appliance and the endless possibilities to make fantastic meals in a short amount of time. We hope to teach our children how to use it once we have mastered it. Happy eating!!

I purchased the first pot Emeril had and it was fantastic. I’ve only used this latest one that has the air fryer lid attachment a few times. All frozen chicken. I have No Doubt as to what to expect. Don’t accidentally cover the vent, which I did on the first one; the lid blow completely off and sauce was everywhere, even my ceiling. Great buy if you cook large items. Never tried other settings yet; but my main course in once again on the table in record time.
#2: Made large out of chilli. Put pot on bean setting which is 20mins; enough time to heat beans. I cooked my meat, onions, celery and green peppers on top of stove; only because I wanted to. Came out perfect. My husband and I will be eating chilli for a few days. lol.

I bought this item two years ago today. I originally bought it because I’m in an unfortunate living situation where I need to be able to cook everything in my room. In those two years, everything I have cooked, I cooked using this gadget. It has never left me down and is one of the most versatile things I have ever owned. Two biggest complains are: it only gets up to 360 without using the pressure or air frying hood, so you are going to have trouble using it to deep-fry some things, and the air frying hood is impossible to completely disassemble for complete cleaning.

I am in LOVE with this product. I needed an updated pressure cooker and knew that Emeril had a pressure cooker / air fryer in-one. I have been cooking in it since I got it. I even baked bread in it. It is so versatile. I take a recipe, re-vamp it to my taste press 2 or 3 buttons and I have a complete meal in 40 minutes. I love every aspect of it. The sautéing feature is to die for. Rice has Never been easier-no guessing on the doneness-brown, white or yellow perfect every time. This Pressure Air Fryer is on my list of top ten kitchen must haves. Whoever thought of making 2 pieces of equipment into one with the changing of the lids needs to win an award. I would love to shake their hand. I made a decision on the fly to purchase this and I have NO regrets whatsoever. I have a spot for it in my closet but it never leaves my countertop. I had another air fryer. I used it once or twice. Didn’t like it. I had a pressure cooker. Too complicated, not user friendly, loved the idea of the pressure cooker but my food came out a hit or a miss. My brother is getting married. This is a wedding gift I’m giving him. If you can cook, it’s great for you. If you can’t cook, it cooks for you.
