Get The Foodi...Money Well Spent

grandma petes — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 04:42:12 GMT

I purchased the Foodi at Christmas time....it is truly the best money I’ve ever spent. The versatility of this machine is beyond amazing!!! Once you use it....you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Hard boiled eggs practically peel themselves. Hot dogs cooked with the Air Crisp lid taste incredible. Pork Carnitas...pressure cooked then use the Air Crisp lid to brown it up....so, so good. Soups, chili’s, rice dishes, pasta dishes, browning, searing, steaming....there’s almost nothing this appliance can’t do!!!

It’s a Slow Cooker, it broils...seafood is so good...cook pizza....reheat pizza...no more soggy microwave heated pizza....pot stickers are amazing cooked in the Foodi...I haven’t found a food yet that can’t be made in the Foodi....and made better with the Foodi.

I’ve always been very skeptical about the infomercial gadgets and such, but this really is revolutionary. Once you try it...you’ll wish you had gotten it sooner.😊😊😊

Thank you for the great review @grandma petes I was thinking about getting one of these for my brother as a birthday present. He mentioned the infomercial several months back but I had not done any research...your feedback was very thorough and I believe he will love the Foodi!

Thank you for great review. I did purchase the Foodl, last night before going to sleep. I had been sitting on the fence about purchasing it and did wake this morning with a bit of buyer's remorse. Your enthusiastic review changed my mind. I do have a pressure cooker and an air fryer but I like the idea of having one kitchen appliance that does it all. Also, it is my birthday next month...this is an early b'day present to me.

Thank you again.

Hi Zukie...I also have a pressure cooker....a Ninja 3-in-1....a crock pot and a Breville Smart Oven Air. I can honestly tell you that I haven’t used anything but The Foodi and my Breville since I received the Foodi in December. I totally understand buyers remorse....but truly, you will wonder how you ever did without the Foodi once you start using it. I love mine and have been considering the larger one...but that’s for sometime way down the road. Enjoy....experiment with it....there are many Facebook pages dedicated to the Foodi....you will find lots of tips, tricks and great recipes.❤️

He will love it GAQShopr53....it really is the best money I’ve ever spent. Let him know there are many Facebook pages dedicated to the Foodi...they have tons of tips, recipes, etc. plus YouTube has tons of videos. He will have fun, especially if he loves to cook.😊

Just in case anyone doesn’t know, Samsclub has this for $189.00. There’s only one color, but if that doesn’t matter to you, it’s a little cheaper & you can get it sooner.

Have a great Sunday, everyone. 😊

I don't think the young woman with the little girl voice is doing such a great job showing this machine. Every presentation where she cooked salmon, it stuck to the grill. You'd think eventually it would occur to her to give it a spritz of Pam. Much of the meat she's prepared looks dried out. The ribs didnt look edible...like boot heels. Very poor presenter.

@Renata22. Easy Pay is the big selling point for QVC.

yeah, she flubbed up on the salmon. I could have told her "hun, best spray the rack first and good ". Fish sticks to EVERYTHING One I got at Bed and bath didn't come with the grill racks I put my salmon in the solid rack but still spray it,

didn't care for the rare cooked stage of the meat, but, that's my problem LOL

Mary, who has that gluten problem handed off a plate handed to her by the Foodi gal she's scared to death of anything that has gluten in it, but, the presenter probably wasn't aware of her limitation. Mary, said something I didn't quite catch it all , "oh, this has cornbread in it " and handed it to Rachel.

Thanks for sharing. I looked up where I could locate the larger size today and they have this same size many places much less expensive. I need the larger size but the reviews were all FAB on every site that sells them. I appreciate the Sam's Club headsup as I did not locate that on the web.

@INDIANA BONES Where have you found this size much less expensive? I looked and haven't found anywhere. Thanks!!

Renata22 — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 20:04:53 GMT

@ judy0330, it’s at samsclub. I posted this before Qvc decided to give free shipping, so it’s actually $10 more, but still a good price at $189.

@INDIANA BONES, you’re very welcome. 😊

Re: Get The Foodi...Money Well Spent

Renata22 — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 20:09:14 GMT

@Kachina624, yes the easy pays are a draw. In fact, I folded & bought one on easy pay. I also liked the white one. Looks like a space ship about to take off. 😁

Re: Get The Foodi...Money Well Spent

SharkE — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 20:15:28 GMT

sold out

Would had been my 2nd choice, though.

Re: Get The Foodi...Money Well Spent

Allieoh — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 20:20:39 GMT

It’s also at Costco for $190.00 including shipping.

Re: Get The Foodi...Money Well Spent

Renata22 — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 20:29:42 GMT

@SharkE, I ordered this morning. I also liked the red but there was just something about that white one.

They had me tempted for a few minutes until I read reviews at Amazon. I'm a little concerned that the more it can do, the more chance to go wrong with it. I then gave thought to the high quality of the appliances I own: Instant Pot and Philips Airfryer, reminding myself I can pressure cook and without too much effort crisp meats under the oven broiler and avoid storing this very large appliance.

Instant Pot might be smart to create a crisping lid although It would have it's own power cord.

I love having new kitchen toys. I hope everyone who buys this has a positive experience. Maybe I'll buckle at a later date if one of my current appliances dies.

@Renata22 Thanks! I saw your earlier post. It is $190 at BJs and Costco -- which as you said is $10 more than QVC with the free shipping now being offered. @INDIANA BONES posted "they have this same size many places much less expensive." Before ordering from QVC -- I was just asking where.

@Zukie That was my idea a birthday gift for me, July 31st. is my birthday. But the gaskets for tha pressure cooker lid and it looks like there is no break away cord. Those were my concerns plus the weight of the Foodi. I couln't feel relaxed about it and I surely don't want to deal with the weight of it. Especiall having to box it up and send it back.
