Granitestone Black 16-Quart Oil-Less Air Fryer & Countertop Oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly don’t know how we lived without owning the Big Boss Oil-Less Convection Countertop Oven! We have the 16 Quart version and it’s perfect for our family of five! We’ve been looking to find ways to eat healthier and this is perfect for doing so! I love fried anything, but using all that oil just isn’t healthy for our bodies! This oven makes the most delicious fried chicken! It’s super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! It’s simple to make anything in this oven also! That’s one of my favorite features. I love to marinate chicken, toss it in the oven, turn it on and walk away! It doesn’t get any easier than that!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love cooking in this oil less fryer! I was hesitant on it at first....thinking it couldn't be good.....but I was very wrong! I got rid of my oil fryer and solely use this! I'm Amazed. The taste is great and no grease!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so I figured this wouldn’t cook as well or worse then other air fryers because it’s glass. Let me tell you I have 3 other different air fryers and this one by far cooks the best. I was so surprised by how great this cooks everything, we use it all the time and haven’t even used the others since getting this one. I love that you can see what’s cooking and you don’t have to stop the cooking process to check on your food. It’s also so much easier to clean. The glass bowl is very thick and heavy, but not to the point that it’s hard to move around. I highly recommend this fryer, you won’t be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I got this air fryer, I haven't used the oven once. This is the best invention ever and wish I had gotten one a long time ago. It cooks everything so quickly, it is much healthier than any other form of cooking and the food comes out crispy, tasty and wonderful, never dry. I will never be without one. This is brilliant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off this is much larger than I expected, which is a good thing as you can do a whole chicken or a small turkey easily. I am still learning to use this, I read the instructions and started with French fries but honestly it's been a learning curve with everything, I found that potatoes need to be soaked (take some of the starch out) before making and timing, the book will say one thing and again it's just learning what times are good for the way you like your food. Pro's it cleans super easy and is easy to use once you have your timing down and your food will be nice and crispy and evenly cooked. The only con to this is it is large and so it takes up a lot of space both using on your countertop and for storage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big Boss oil-less fryer 16 Qt. Convention Countertop Oil-less Oven I have seen and heard good things about air fryers and oil-less fryers for a while and was excited to finally try one for myself! This Big Boss oven did not disappoint! First, the packaging is very secure, all the glass and electronic parts are protected with packing materials that are molded around them. Second, it is bigger than I expected! A huge 16qt cooking area (an included expander ring helps on larger items like a big turkey). Third, I love that it is round and all glass. You can check on things without opening it and disrupting the cooking process. Fourth, the cleanup was quick and easy for a larger kitchen appliance. I used soapy water to quickly rinse the large glass bowl (so that it didn't take up my entire dishwasher shelf), threw the metal rack and metal basket into the dishwasher, and wiped down the lid. Simple! The unit included a recipe book and simple instructions. I would love an even bigger book, but I'm sure I can find things online. For example, we added a bunch of wings, but the instruction book had time and temperature for 6 wings (we were doing about 60-70, we didn't want to do 10 batches). We started with a huge basket full and found it was better to do a packed single layer. You got the nice crisp and perfect cook that way. For anyone else attempting to do a large batch like this, we found it worked great to have a batch in the Big Boss while the rest were getting a partial bake in the oven. Then when the Big Boss had them crisped up just perfect, we would rotate batches of almost done wings from the oven into the Big Boss so that they would have that perfect non soggy cook we were going for. I can't wait to try a bigger item like a whole turkey. We are having fun with it already!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I got this, when I got home and opened it went together in a snap! It was so easy to use I was amazed I could not believe that an appliance like this could do so much!!! The first night my granddaughter made Chinese food and it was delicious cooked perfectly. The next night we had chicken fingers, breaded zucchini, and breaded eggplant. It cooked all at one time and it cooked the food perfectly. It was delicious. I can't say enough about this little machine. It really is the greatest Little appliance!! Now onto dessert!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try the big boss 16 quart convention countertop oil-less oven. I wanted to test out cooking a few different foods. I absolutely love the big boss is 16 quart which is twice the size of most, but making room for it on the counter is tricky if you have limited space, as it is large, and kind of heavy. I like you can cook food on the bottom and top with the rack provided. I tried making French fries first, and they turned out nice and golden brown. Next I wanted to try to foods at once. So did chicken on the bottom and fries on the top. Seems the temperature may not be exactly even, as the bottom turns out not completely done, and the top maybe over done. Overall excited to try more recipes, without having to use oil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is my first air cooker... the advantages are obvious, no oil, but yet, crispy outside... this thing has a lot of capabilities, whereas I will use it for two key foods that I struggle with... french fries and home ade chix nuggests, gluten free... The fries came out superb... I did not even miss the oil! I am sold! the second batch, I did a misting of the fries with oil, even a bit better, barely any more calories... so for fries, its superb... no more oven for me... the nuggests also came out excellent...but it took a few tries to perfect the system.. you have to keep all cuts the same general thickness and size, otherwise, some are cooked, others are not..and that would ruin the beauty of the cooker, turn on, remove, and done... otherwise, u are taking removing some, letting some cook further, etc. crispy, and still somewhat juicy.. OK, not quite as good as fried chx!! but considering the calories saved and health benefits, no compalints... I use dipping sauses, and in the end, its just as enjoyable... the machine is well built, specially considering the price... as seen these cost 3x this price. I dont see the benefits for costly units for occassional use... very happy... be sure to read the instructions, the unit does way more than I will ever use it for, so I cant comment on all foods and cooking modes.... if u never tried an air fryer before, u should....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 16 Qt. Convention Countertop Oil-less Oven to try and review. My experience with such cooking appliances was limited to a slow cooker. This convection oven is fun to use and cooks well. It's a bit unwieldy on the counter but it does cook healthier food, making it crispy without oil or frying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try this airfryer. I set this all up, double checking the instructions because it was so easy that I wanted to make sure I did it right. I plugged it in, lowered the handle to turn it on and nothing happened. I Tried multiple outlets and nothing worked. No lights turned on. I tried turning the temputure on just incase that would start it up also and still nothing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Countertop Oil-less Oven has quite the capacity. We have followed the homemade fries recipe and used it with potatoes and yams. Both have turned out delicious. I love it because my range does not have a timer that turns off the oven after cooking and this allows me to prepare something for dinner. It will turn itself off after cooking and I can run errands knowing that my food is cooked and will turn off. There is a protected part of the cord so that when it touches the oven, the cord doesn't get burnt. Be sure to have the top handle flush so that it turns on. The bowl is easy to clean and the metal racks and baskets are not too difficult to clean. The grey color is not the most attractive, but the function of this appliance works great for our family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad that I tried this Big Boss Conventional Countertop Oil-Less Oven. It’s suppose to cook my food faster and be healthier for me so I couldn’t wait to try it out on my pork chops. I liked that I didn’t have to preheat anything and it has simple settings that I can understand. The see thru glass is phenomenal- I can check on my food without having to open anything and let heat out. It’s also amazing to watch the food cook. My pork chops turned out so tender and juicy- packed with flavor- not dry at all! Not only did I cook pork chops I also cooked my veggies and biscuits in it as well.. unbelievable. They turned out great. Even the cleanup was quick and easy with just wiping it out. I’ve also cooked french fries and cheese sticks in it and it’s the best! It’s less calories and less fat but still has great taste. The only thing I would say that it needs would be a longer cord to plug in. Other than that I love it and enjoy cooking healthier with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is nice and easy to use however it takes a little bit of time to put together. I wish the directions were more clear however an overall good product and makes the food taste delicious and it's better for you As well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my favorite foods is french fries. I am happy to report this product makes delicious fries. It is crunchy and non-greasy. I like to add some parmesan cheese and garlic. It makes the dish tasty and everyone who has tried it enjoys it too. The fryer is user friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are happy to have this new addition to our kitchen. The fryer not only cooks but it warms up previously cooked fried foods. My husband is more willing to cook with this fryer. It is easy to use and I would definitely suggest using Pam if you want a crispy skin. This fryer also helps to whip up weekday meals—put the meat in and work on the sides while the meat is in the fryer. I’m glad we have this one!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a 16 quart air-less fryer about five weeks ago and it has really changed my whole life. It is easy to cook literally everything and cleaning it is an absolute breeze. It comes with a recipe book that teaches you to cook the basics but experimenting is so much fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've heard so many good things about these oil less fryers that I had to get one myself and try it out. I chose this brand and I'm happy I did. I've used it a few times and while it does take a few tries to get it right it's really awesome! My food tastes great and without all the grease!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absoulty love this oil-less air fryer! I use it for everything. It makes cooking so much easier and faster. The bowl and racks are really easy to wash. The fryer it self was not hard to out together to take apart for storage. It heats up very quickly and cools down even quicker. I have used this to make french frys which only took 7 minutes rather than turning the oven on, waiting for it to preheat, and waiting 25 minutes for them to cook. I made pork chops in 15 minutes, with little to no mess at all! I would defiantly recommend this to anyone that wants a cleaner kitchen, or a busy person and in a rush to cook. This is a wonderful addition to my kitchen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great way to cook without oil. My family is trying to be healthier and this is a great start! Comes with a great recipe book too! Holds multiple types of food at the same time, I don't know how I lived without this!
