Welcome to my review of the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360. Can it really do what it says it can do? You may have seen the TV commercials. Let’s find out!

It is inaccurate to refer to it as an air fryer, as you will see, because it does much more. In actuality, it is a multipurpose appliance that can take the place of a number of kitchen appliances.

This latest iteration is bigger in capacity with more features. Let’s find out if the performance matches the sleeker appearance.

What is in the Box

The Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 box is fairly sizable, as you might anticipate given how big the appliance is. The packaging is decent; it’s not particularly fancy, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

In the box, you will find the following;

• Emeril Lagasse power air fryer
• Quick start guide
• Warranty instructions
• Drip tray
• Baking pan
• Crisper tray
• Rack
• Rotisserie

You are required to clean the machine and wash all of its included accessories before you begin. They do tell you to do it, but I assume you all already do it.

A recipe manual was one thing that was absent. Although it is not a deal breaker, manufacturers typically offer at least something. Most people want a few recipes to follow to help them become more familiar with the machine.

I did learn that a recipe guide was available online, but the packaging made no mention of it.

Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 Design

Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 is very big and heavy. Obviously, it is much bigger than your standard air fryer…but again, this is not just an air fryer. The size of it seems more reasonable when you consider everything it can do and the kinds of other appliances it can replace.

Whether Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 stays there for a while depends on the appliance. I’m not sure about you. As a result, after initial setup, weight shouldn’t be an issue.

Regarding appearance, I like it. It has a clean, contemporary appearance that somewhat resembles an oversized microwave. It appears to have undergone a thoughtful design process and to be well-thought-out.

Everything is instinctively where you think it should be and I really like the dials on it rather than lots of buttons. Simply put, I believe that it has fewer potential pitfalls.

The screen of Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 is nicely backlit, and the side of the door has some very helpful writing that indicates which shelf you should place items on.

Functionality of Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360

I should probably talk about accessing the functions before I get into the features it has. Don’t worry, it is not a complicated computer system.

Actually, starting and finding the functions is quite simple. Given the variety of functions it has, the fact that it is fairly intuitive is actually a huge plus.

As is well known, the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 is marketed as a multipurpose appliance that offers a ton of features and enables you to have all of these in one machine.

The Emeril Lagasse power air fryer does the following;

• Air fry
• Rotisserie
• Bake
• Toast
• Dehydrate
• Broil
• Bagel
• Pizza
• Slow cooker
• Reheat
• Rotisserie

Bake

Cupcakes cooked in the air fryer were excellent. But I didn’t discover in the owner’s manual that you can turn off the air frying fan in Bake mode of Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 until after I had already made the cookies. The baking would have been silent and the cupcakes wouldn’t have had air fryer peaks on them if I had not left the fan on (read the cupcake recipe for more information on that). A tasty cupcake, however, doesn’t stay around here for very long, regardless of how it appears.

Pizza

We’ve successfully cooked several frozen pizzas in the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360. I did observe that the portion of the pizza closest to the door at the front of the oven browned more quickly than the portion at the back. However, it wasn’t overly browned or overcooked, so I can’t really complain. It was simple to remove the drip pan, clean it with paper towels, and reinstall it in the appliance to clean up any melted cheese.

Slow Cook

Slow cooking is something I’ve never tried. We use our large slow cooker often in the winter (mmm, chili) so I’m looking forward to slow cooking in the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360. I haven’t gone through my pans and baking dishes to see if I have one that would be useful and make the most of the unit’s available cooking space. Maybe this is just the reason I need to put an enamel dutch oven on my Christmas wish list…

Toast

Toasting is very simple, whether it be bread or bagels. Just turn the Select dial to the toast (or bagel) preset, the Temp/Darkness dial to the level of toastiness you want, the Time/Slices dial to the number of pieces you’re toasting (up to six) then press Start. Based on your inputs, the device calculates the time (which you can see on the LCD panel) and temperature (which you cannot see) and then silently toasts away, beeping when done.

Durability

The door opening on the Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 feels good, and the hinge appears to be sturdy as well. In conclusion, I believe it to be a nice product that will look great in the majority of kitchens. Of course, these are merely external features; the performance of a machine like this will always be the true test.

Even when cooking, the handle feels sturdy and maintains a reasonable level of coolness.

Performance: Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360

Talking about Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360′ appearances and functions is completely permissible. Performance is the most crucial factor.

I decided to experiment with a few different things using the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer.

I started by making some toast to gauge its performance. I then grilled some steak before air-frying some rotisserie chicken.

I checked the dehydrator’s performance against that of my standalone dehydrator to conclude my test.

Toast

The Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 toast function actually works really well, much better than I thought it would. The toast came out with a nice and even toast. This works well for both bagels and bread. It’s a nice touch that you can choose the degree of browning you want.

Steak

Like in the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 television commercials, they cook some steak. I too made steak. The end result using the broiler was satisfactory but this is not my preferred method of making steak.

I used the rack to make it on so there was a mess at the bottom on the drip tray that needed some cleaning. The steak cooked in a total of 20 minutes, but it did so fairly well.

Rotisserie Chicken

This is my test of the air fryer that is marketed as the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360. I used the rotisserie to air fry a chicken. The capacity is a 4lb chicken so that is what I used. I cooked it at 350F for 45 minutes based on the presets.

It had very nice results. The chicken was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful flavor. It was a relief because this was the job that really mattered to me.

Pros & Cons of Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360

Advantages

• Good looks
• Pricing
• Variety of cooking functions
• Allows me to remove other appliances

Disadvantages

• You need to buy extra accessories and shelves to give you more flexibility
• You need plenty of counter space

Who Would Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 Suit?

It would suit a number of different customer profiles. For those looking to reduce the number of kitchen appliances in their space, it would be ideal because it offers so many features.

Is It Easy to Clean?

Dishwasher-safe removable parts are common on air fryers. Hand washing the accessories is advised by the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 owner’s manual. However, cleanup is a breeze. I really like the drip tray because cleaning it is as simple as sliding it out, rinsing it with water (and possibly some soap if it’s greasy), and wiping it down. That’s it – I haven’t had to scrub it but I also haven’t rotisseried with it yet. Just take care when removing the drip tray. Items caught by the tray may remain if you remove it too quickly, necessitating additional cleaning of the interior. The crisper tray and pizza rack are comparable; all they need is a quick rinse and wipe down to make them ready to use. I’ve used the baking pan for cupcakes (no clean up needed) and for cooking a frozen vegetable side dish. After cleaning up with some soap and water, you’re done.

The drip tray is not the only surface that needs to be cleaned or wiped down after using the rotisserie (at least with a chicken).

Conclusion: Is It Worth It?

The Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360 does an excellent job of quickly and evenly cooking food and adds value by offering additional cooking options.

Using many of the features it had to offer, I thoroughly tested the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer. When you consider the range it offers, I’d say it did pretty well.

I believe there are many benefits to having a larger oven in your kitchen. You are given a lot more flexibility as a result.

The fact that you need to purchase additional items is a drawback; it would have been nice if they had added a few more accessories. Although it wasn’t a deal-breaker because they aren’t prohibitively expensive to purchase, I do believe it adds value to the purchase while costing the customer virtually nothing.

Overall, I advise purchasing the Emeril Lagasse power air fryer 360, but only if you believe you will utilize all of its features to their fullest potential. If you don’t require all of those features, a straightforward air fryer oven will cost less.
