I like my Copper Chef cookware well. I got a smokeless grill for me, and I also got one for my daughter. Then when I was on the site, I saw the other stuff, and I like the looks of it so I bought it. I use the cookware daily, on and on, and it does well. It doesn’t stick. On the square type pans, Copper Chef needs to look at it because the heating doesn’t go all the way out to the ends when you’re doing induction. It gets out there, but it’s not as hot on the actual outside of the pan like their skillet. As long as you have it a half-inch in the center, you’re fine. But you get right up against the edge, the edges don’t cook as well as the center. Still, Copper Chef is great. And I know they said don't put some of the stuff in the dishwasher, but it actually works in a dishwasher well. I’d recommend Copper Chef.

I’ve had the Power Air Fryer for a couple of months now and there’s so much more I could do with it than the regular air fryer. I had an older model of the fryer that didn’t have a divider in it and I could only cook one thing, and it had to be a small portion. I like the Power Air Fryer because I can cook three different things if I want to. I did a Hasselback potato. I had to score the potato but not all the way through, then put the butter over it while cooking it. However, the butter all ran down to the bottom of the drip pan. I tore up a piece of tinfoil and folded it and put it under so that the butter didn’t all run to the bottom. It sat in the potato or the potato sat in it and when I was done cooking, I took the butter and poured it over the top of the potato. I started with the potato then cooked the steak on an upper tray. I went according to the book, but I cooked it a bit too long.

We are on propane out here in the boonies and it’s expensive to have it delivered. We have three 25-gallon tanks and we fill them ourselves. It’s a pain and it’s expensive firing up the oven to reheat and do things. My daughter has a different kind of Air Fryer and I thought it sounded like a good idea. My wife recorded Power Air Fryer's video on the television so I saw their video. I called and they ended up upgrading me to the Elite, which is bigger. We've had the oven for a couple of weeks now and it's been a learning experience.

I like my Power AirFryer oven from Tristar Products. I felt like it was a good idea for me to get it to save calories. It saves time, too. I've made carrot and potato fries in it. They came out just as good as if you were buying from the store, especially the carrot fries because if I don’t want that starch and I have a taste for something like French fries, I'll use that and make carrot fries. Sometimes, if I want something sweet, I'll still use the carrot fries and put a little cinnamon on it. I've used the rotisserie part where it has the wheel and I've put chicken on there. I did a rotisserie chicken. I've done ribs with the spits on there. I've used every single thing possible in there to make sure it comes out right. I even used the dehydrator. I also made some apple chips, which came out good. I used the dehydrator and I sliced them up. My thing is to save calories instead of eating junk food or some.

I like that the Copper Chef cookware washes easily. However, the griller that is like a zigzag is very hard to clean. When I cook a piece of chicken or eggplant on it, that does not come off. I have to scrub and scrub and I'm not a big fan of that, so I don’t use that anymore. Also, the cookware all looks white now. I have OCD and I clean the cookware really carefully, but from just a little rubbing against it, all the paint has come out. And then, when the bottom gets a stain on it, it doesn’t come off no matter how much I scrub. Also, the frying pan's blade at the bottom sticks up a bit, so when I put the oil and I wanna fry something, the oil drifts away on the side and nothing stays in the middle. I can cook a lot of stuff in the pots but it's a hassle to fry something in the pans.

I enjoyed this indoor grill until the fan broke just a few months into using it. Apparently they only expect it to last 60 days because that's their warranty! Yes, I operated it according to instructions and always put the right amount of water in the tray. You could hear the fan operating at first, but then it just quit. Now unusable because it makes too much smoke without the fan to filter the smoke through the water. I called the company and they told me to take it up with Sam's Club where I bought it. We'll see what happens there, but I don't expect they'll give me my money back either.

The Copper Chef frying pan doesn't cook evenly on my stove, it burns the food quickly. It doesn't evenly distribute the heat. It's not hard to clean but I don't want my food tasting burnt. Then, when I got the cookie sheet and put it in the heat, it starts to bend. I'm really not happy with it.

Airfryer was given as a Xmas gift. Loved it up until two months ago when it completely lost power...switched outlets...no luck. Called company and was told to send $19.99 plus I pay for shipping/handling fees and they would replace it with a receipt. It was a gift - no receipt; therefore I am out of luck. If product is faulty why should customer pay for the s/h fees + $20? Not buying air fryers again. Too too bad.

I wanted to try out Copper Chef and see if it was as good as people say it was. I'm satisfied with it so far. I like that nothing sticks to it and it's easy to clean. I also have a cake set, oven air fryer, a basket that sits on a cookie sheet, egg poacher which I have not tried yet, big wok-y, then the square one, and a smaller frying pan. These items have good quality.

I placed an order for the smokeless grill and chose the optional 2 qt. air fryer with the order. My bank account was charged on 6/29/19 for the full amount. This order was "placed" and "SHIPPED" on 7/01/19, supposedly. The grill was shipped by FedEx ground and received today 7/03/19, GREAT!! The air fryer was sent by Fedex-SP, (SmartPost), via the USPS and after much tracking and calling both Tristar and Fedex customer services, I found that the tracking # was not in the USPS system yet and was still in the Fedex system. The grill had a normal 12 digit tracking # and the fryer has a 20 digit (SP) #. The bottom line is, I won't get my fryer until 7/09/19. That's 2 days VS. 8 days and 10 days after I had paid in full and up front. Thanks Tristar.
