I’ve been cooking and experimenting with air fryers for a few years now. And this new DREO ChefMaker kitchen appliance raises air fryer cooking standards to a higher level.
What is different in this unique kitchen small appliance is its CombiCook™ technology. This innovative countertop cooker seamlessly puts into synergy three different modes of food preparation: Air Fryer, Pressure Cooker, and Sous Vide.
Hard to believe that one machine now can prep restaurant-quality meals in the comfort of your own kitchen. Without doubt, DREO ChefMaker joins my top-rated smart devices that improve quality of life.

Dreo ChefMaker Unique Features
As an ante into the current market of smart devices, having an app with a Wi-Fi connection is a must-have. But Dreo’s ChefMaker will blow your mind away with the cooking options for almost any food, any recipe you can imagine! That really surprised me.
Here are some of my favorite features that I’ve never seen in any air-fryer-type countertop cooker.
CombiCook™ technology offers 3 choices of cooking modes:
– Chef Mode for meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables.
– Classic Good mode for air fry, reheat, bake, roast, defrost, toast, broil, and dehydrate. This mode is infinitely versatile, allowing you to cook and prepare everything from snacks to pasta to Mexican food and pizzas galore. Truly incredible to explore it.
– Probe Cook mode for any type of meat and fish available out there. This menu is so impressive that it really motivates to cook more!
What you need to know is that CombiCook tech divides the cooking process into stages, allowing you to prepare the restaurant quality stakes, fish dishes, and any baked pasta casserole recipe. The heat probe that comes with the appliance gauges food doneness and adjusts parameters accordingly. And the convection heating ensures a succulent interior and a crispy exterior for any snack, meat or poultry recipe you are reading in this machine.
With the app, it is possible to get notifications about food prep within your Dreo ChefMaker. An abundance of recipes curated by Michelin Star chefs offers an amazing opportunity in expanding our culinary horizons in the comfort of the home.
Are Air Fryers Safe to Cook With?
You need to know that high heat cooking like frying and grilling produces carcinogens, i.e., cancerous elements that harm a physical human body.
“Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines can result from all high-heat cooking with meat.” These carcinogenic compounds are associated with cancer risk.
A way out? Eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and include salads and ample veggie sides when you eat meat. In addition, choose cooking methods that reduce the risk of toxic acrylamide formation. Air fryers are the devices that offer such options.
I’ve read up a few studies that tested different methods of food preparation. And air fryers come up at the top of the list when it comes to safer food cooking.

Check out my detailed post on air fryer benefits for youthful and healthy skin.
Roasted Cauliflower Benefits for Skin Health
Did you know that cauliflower is a superb food that protects your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation damage? Eat this powerful cruciferous vegetable raw or roasted to gain extra protection from skin cancer. Yes, do apply your SPF sunscreen lotion daily. But with the food like cauliflower, you add an additional potent level of protection from free radical damage, i.e., from premature aging.
And such skin aging results in fine lines and deeper wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and change in skin texture. Besides, you are expediting the collagen loss when you do not protect your skin from free radical damage and choose not to use SPF lotions.
In addition, cauliflower houses potent compounds called glucosinolates. They posses superior antiviral and antibacterial properties. In a word, this cruciferous veggie is a super hero when it comes to lowering your internal inflammation and protecting your skin on the cellular level.
Seasoned Roasted Cauliflower Recipe Prepped In Dreo ChefMaker
Though this roasted cauliflower recipe is prepped in a Dreo ChefMaker, you can use your own Air Fryer to celebrate the benefits of this roasted to perfection cruciferous vegetable.

Air Fryer Roasted Cauliflower
Quick and with superior flavor, this roasted cauliflower can easily become your new favorite food staple. Optimal choice cruciferous vegetable with immense health benefits.
Ingredients
- 1 Head Cauliflower cut into small florets
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- ½ tsp Garlic powder or substitute it with 2-3 crushed fresh garlic cloves
- ½ tsp Smoked paprika
- ½ tsp Italian spice for salt-free substitute use Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning
- Salt, Pepper to taste
- Lemon juice from 1/8 of fresh Lemon if desired
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish grated
Instructions
-
Set your DREO ChefMaker to 380F under the Classic Cook —> Roast mode. If using a regular Air Fryer, preheat it to 380F.
-
In a large bowl, place cauliflower florets. Drizzle with olive oil (and lemon juice, optional). Season with Garlic powder, Smoked paprika, Italian spice blend (or Mrs. Dash seasoning), Salt/Pepper per your taste buds.
-
Place seasoned and oiled cauliflower florets to the Air fryer's rimmed baking sheet within the tray. Do not crowd the pieces, rather spread them in one layer. This way, they will cook nicely, maintaining the taste and crispiness. Depending on the size of your Air Fryer, you will need to do the cooking in 2 separate batches of cauliflower.
-
Cook cauliflower for 7-9 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmigiana-Reggiano grated cheese 2 minutes before they are done
-
Take roasted cauliflower florets out of the Air Fryer tray and add them to your salads, use as a side dish, or enjoy as is or with a dip. I like to use this recipe for my dinner with a bit of protein added to the meal and some extra fresh greens.

I truly love this DREO ChefMaker air fryer. So many quality features that makes meal prep a lot more simpler in my opinion!
This sounds like an awesome appliance! Your recipe looks delicious as well. It is nice to have something like this to cook with; I had never heard of it before.
That is a nice looking air fryer and it sounds like a good one. I have an air fryer and love it, but I would love to have that one too.
I got an air fryer just to have one and it really is much healthier! Thank you for sharing this information.
I have still never used an air fryer. I’ve purchased one for each of my adult children but never one for me. I need to catch up.
Rosey,
A quality Air Fryer is a great kitchen helper. Lots of recipes can be made within this tiny machine.
Maybe I should update my air fryer to the Dreo. I love that it has an app to use with it.
Tania,
Dreo is one of the best Air Fryers on the market. It not only has an app which notifies you when the meal is ready. This machine has multiple levels of prepping vegetables, meats, and a white variety of foods. Make yourself a gift this Holiday Season.
I am selling my Air Fryer. I do believe it causes cancer.
Anne,
With all respect, a belief does not have facts that prove your statement.
I actually did my research years ago about Air Fryers. And testing and clinical studies show the it is much safer than grilling and frying on the stove.
I love my air fryer
Terri,
This is only natural to adore cooking with air fryer.
Hello! Is there any toxic material used in Dreo chef maker air fryer?
I love crispy food. This looks great.
Leela,
You can adapt cooking in the air fryer to your liking.
This appliance is so versatile! I can think of many recipes I’d like to try using it.
Jeanna,
Indeed, this is a wonderful way to add a wide variety of recipes for your family.
I don’t get on with my air fryer at all, this sounds like a really good one.
Jenny,
Don’t give up.
When I began experimenting with an Air Fryer, I was frustrated as all the recipes that they offered the booklet that came with it did not come out right!
And only when I went ahead and made my own recipe with the Salmon, approximating the cooking temperature, that first salmon dish came out spectacularly great! I have a post on it as well.
So, please do not give up on making delicious food in your air fryer.
I cook a lot of veggies in mine; plus fish; plus any sandwiches when it comes to grilling.
TIP: Before you begin any cooking, any regular air fryer requires pre-heating!
Heat yours for 4 minutes at the cooking temperature your recipe calls.
It is interesting to hear about this air fryer! I have one, but haven’t cooked chicken in it yet. This one looks so fancy.

Sounds like cooking with an air fryer is healthier. I need to get one myself!
I love how these can really help with making my cooking healthier with air vs. oil.
Sounds like such a fancy air fryer! We love ours…it was such a great investment. It takes up some counter space so we put it away between each use but it just changed the way we prepared a lot of foods and I have no regrets with ours.
Tammy,
I agree with you that a quality air fryer is a great investment for many years. More healthier, versatile and really quickly-done meals.
I’ve gone through many air fryers, and this DREO ChefMaker is something to me! So many options for the restaurant quality recipes. I am blown away with the technology in this machine!
Oh I’ve been considering getting an air fryer forever but I think I will get one this black friday…I can’t wait, I definitely do need one.

You’d make a smart investment into your home cooking with a great air fryer!

Sarah,
A Dreo ChefMaker is a unique smart appliance that combines a multitude of cooking modes. I really am in the beginning of many more discoveries what it can do. But my first few recipes are a total success.
Glad to know that it is better to use! We use ours quite often instead of frying out food in oil, I like that it doesn’t make our foods feel greasy like frying them can. Thanks for the post!
Your review of the DREO ChefMaker has me intrigued. Combining Air Fryer, Pressure Cooker, and Sous Vide in one appliance? That’s a game-changer! Excited to explore this innovative countertop cooker and elevate the cooking experience. Here’s to creating restaurant-quality meals at home!

This new DREO kitchen appliance is so unique, it makes me really excited. I’ve planned out already a few weeks ahead what I’d like to try to prep in it.
I am fairly new to my air fryer, in that we only got ours this year. I do love that it has a window so you can check how things are cooking
Samantha,
Enjoy your new air fryer and cooking with it. It is such a cool achievement to be introduced into our daily living. The kitchen is our testing lab for many appliances. And an air fryer is here to stay. At least for a while.
Looks like a great kitchen tool.
That thing is amazing! I love that it can do the work of three different pieces of kitchen equipment, and it has a nice size, too.
Ben,
I am excited to try more cooking modes as well. A few weeks of dinners and lunches made with DREO ChefMaker have been already jotted down into my calendar.
I need one of these in my life! It would be so nice to be able to combine three gadgets into one and clear out some space in my kitchen.
Thanks for the review on this air fryer. We’ve been wanting to get one for some time and this one sounds perfect! Will have to try this recipe when we get the fryer.
I enjoyed reading your review about this air fryer. I’d love to own one and I can’t wait to make my fries with it.
This is so cool, I have a plan to buy an air fryer this Christmas. My mother has wanted it for a long time.
I have an air fryer at home, which I love. This sounds like it certainly takes cooking up to another level!
I love cooking with my air fryer. But this Dreo ChefMaker is something superb. I am a huge fan of it just based on the post and the features you shared with us. I want it!
