Tristar Products

We have a farm and we have our own beef. Ours are grass-fed beef so they’re not as fatty as regular. And there are some cuts that if you don’t slow roast them, they’re not as tender, but if I put them in the Copper Chef with the lid on in the oven, and I make my own roux, it’s the best meat you’ve ever eaten in your life. It’s really amazing. Some have to add a little bit of avocado oil but when you’re baking and when I sear it in the Copper Chef, it’s good.

I do a lot of like egg bakes in the oven, and I would like to see the smaller pans have lids better compatible with them. I'm sure when you’d use it just for frying eggs and then you wash it and be done with it. But if you want to bake something in it, the lids are what makes it. If all the pans had glass lids, that would be so much better. Overall I love Copper Chef Cookware.

The front door on the air fryer sticks a little bit. You really have to pull on it to get it to open. But that may be intentional for it to be an airtight seal when it’s cooking, but it’s harder to open than like your normal oven door. Also, the multiple shelves that go inside the air fryer don’t slide in with enough ridge on the inside to easily support them. If you don’t put them in just right, they’ll tilt and drop to the next level on one side. So, if they had the ridges on each side just a little further out into the oven itself that the trays would slide easier into the air fryer, that would be an improvement. Other than those, I like that the air fryer is small, easy to clean, and is certainly faster than a regular oven but still provides the ability to brown and crisp items versus what a microwave would do. The quality is good. We got a rotisserie attached to it. We’ve also got another item that was included which is the Power Quick Pot.

We used the rotating basket and we made French fries in it. That was awesome! Then we did some chicken strips in it and that went great. The only thing I didn't get to use was the rotisserie. We used the oven for everything. I cooked all kinds of stuff. We did turkey burgers in it one night. It was great, but I always had to have someone here with me to use it, so that they could push the buttons. So it wasn't gonna work because there's not always somebody here. But it is an awesome thing. It really outdates your stove. And cooking in a skillet is no longer necessary.

I had my girlfriend bring pizza one night. We put pizzas in it to see if it would work on pizza, and she was delighted on how it made the crust. But they should make the product more handicap friendly. Other than that, I have no complaints. It works fantastic. It was a good piece of equipment. I am returning the AirFryer Oven and I'm getting the Power Grill. So I'm still getting another product from them because they're an awesome company. It is very easy to go to their website and find anything we wanna know. So that's really awesome too.

Other than that, I love the quality of the products that I got from Tristar. With me having cancer, I needed stuff that would be simple to use and I thought that in my condition, all the items that I bought from them would be perfect for me. I really love every single one of them, even the power pressure cooker. I’ve made chili and cooked all kinds of stuff in there. I like how you can sear food in it and it makes my beef much more tender. It’s faster to cook on it, too. And if you need more time or you wanna cook it long, all you’ll do is push the button and it’ll start all over again and do what you need it to do.

I have the air fryer oven as well and I use it all the time because I don’t wanna fry. When frying in the air fryer, the food is still crispy. Also, when you take French fries and put them in there, they’d come out just as crunchy and crispy. And I liked that everything is set up on its own heat. If it’s 350 degrees, you just push a button and you go sit down. You don’t have to stand up over the stove. I just bought the roaster, too and that is amazing. I cooked my turkey breast in there for Thanksgiving and it cooked it beautifully. It was tender and juicy.

The induction plate is so nice, too because if you’re cooking something with a lot of folks coming, and all four of the burners on your stove are being used, you can take out that induction plate and put your pot on it. When I did a meal for Thanksgiving, I have put stuff in the induction plate. Even in the summertime, if you wanna keep your food warm, you put them on the induction plate and your food’s all warm. You don’t have to reheat it. All in all, I’m amazed with all of Tristar's products. They are excellent and I recommend them to everyone that I’ve talked to when they’re talking about buying pots and pans. I told them that there’s a lot of them out there and they shouldn't buy anything but from Tristar. It’s a really good company.

When I purchased the air fryer, I also purchased some other pieces to go with it. I got a couple of gifts such as $100 worth of food coupons. It was almost like part of the sales pitch if I bought a couple more items to go with the air fryer, then I would get that whole package. Power Air Fryer had a couple of different packages, and as you went up in a package, you received a couple of more gifts with it. So, it was okay. But now, I haven't figured out how to claim that. I’ve gone through with trying to do the number thing online but I didn’t have the luck. I don’t know what I did wrong. Other than that, I got a good return for my dollar and my wife enjoyed it. My grandkids really like the food out of it because a lot of the stuff they like come out of it exactly what they want.

If a product has not been shipped yet they should be able to cancel it for you. I have never dealt with a company that does not pay to have something returned if you don’t want it! Therefore I will never order another product that is associated with Tri Star if this is how they’re going to treat their customers or potential customers. Beware the shipping return fees are outrageous! As far as the air fryer goes I can’t tell you anything about it because it’s not an item I was interested in! It was supposed to be a gift. She’s lying.

I like my Jet Tila Copper Chef Titan Pan. It's my go-to now. It came with a big pan, a frying pan, and some other things. It's our everyday tool that we use 'cause it gives us best of both worlds, nonstick and be able to sear. I definitely would recommend it to others. I have recommended it to my brother who also likes to cook. I've also sent the link to another friend of mine that happened to be looking for pans.
