The Chefman ExacTemp™ Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ is a versatile kitchen appliance designed to air fry, bake, dehydrate, and roast foods. It aims to provide healthier cooking options with little to no oil, and its integrated probe thermometer ensures perfectly cooked meats without guesswork. The sleek design and multiple cooking racks make it suitable for various cooking needs and a good addition to any countertop.
Function Description:
The device operates in two primary modes: Time Cook Mode and Probe Cook Mode.
Time Cook Mode:
This mode allows users to cook food for a specified duration using three different functions: Air Fry, Bake, and Dehydrate.
- Air Fry: This function is ideal for achieving crisp perfection with minimal oil. It offers presets for common foods like fries, chicken, fish, meat, and veggies, with default times and temperatures. The temperature range for Air Fry is 200°F (90°C) to 400°F (205°C), and the time can be set from 1 minute to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Some presets include a "Flip" reminder midway through the cooking cycle to ensure even browning.
- Bake: This function is suitable for baking various dishes. It also includes presets for chicken, fish, veggies, and cake, with predefined times and temperatures. The temperature range for Bake is 200°F (90°C) to 400°F (205°C), and the time can be set from 1 minute to 2 hours.
- Dehydrate: This function is used for dehydrating foods like jerky, veggies, and fruits, following specific food safety guidelines. The temperature range for Dehydrate is 95°F (35°C) to 200°F (90°C), and the time can be set from 30 minutes to 24 hours. The ROTATE button is not available for Dehydrate.
Probe Cook Mode:
This mode is designed for cooking meats, chicken, and fish to their ideal internal temperatures using the included probe thermometer. Only Air Fry and Bake functions are available in this mode. It offers presets for various doneness levels for meat (Rare, Medium-Rare, Medium, Medium-Well, Well), as well as specific settings for chicken (light and dark meat) and fish. The unit automatically stops cooking when the probe temperature reaches 5°F (2°C) below the target internal temperature, then enters a short "Rest Mode" to allow for carryover cooking, ensuring the food reaches its final target temperature without overcooking. The "REST" light blinks during this phase.
Special Functions:
- ROTATE: This feature is used with the rotisserie spit for even cooking and is automatically selected for certain presets. It continuously rotates food 360°. It is not available for Dehydrate or Probe Cooking.
- HI-FRY: This button becomes available partway through a cooking cycle and temporarily raises the temperature to 450°F (235°C) for 2 minutes to provide additional browning. It is not available for Dehydrate.
- +2 MIN: This button becomes available towards the end of cooking and adds 2 more minutes to the current cooking cycle at the current temperature. It can be pressed repeatedly for additional time. For Probe Cooking, it can be pressed after the unit enters Ready Mode. It is not available for Dehydrate.
- Oven Light: A button on the control panel allows users to turn the interior oven light on or off to check on food through the viewing window.
- Sound Button: This button can be used to mute the unit's beeps.
