- It will go on sale in August, but the price has not yet been announced
Kitchen appliance company Dreo has launched a new air fryer that uses AI to turn recipes into smart cooking programs – whether they’re pulled from websites or scanned from cookbooks.
Recipes written for large ovens typically require significant changes to work properly in an air fryer, but the Dreo ChefMaker 2, which debuted at CES 2025, should make that problem a thing of the past. No more burnt roasts or sad, deflated pies: the fryer can handle the hard work of calculating new times and temperatures for your favorite dishes.
The original Dreo ChefMaker is hands down one of the best air fryers we’ve ever tested, and our reviewer Michelle Rae Uy found that each of its many cooking modes consistently produced excellent results, so I’m cautiously optimistic about the second-generation AI. improved skills.
What’s cooking?
If you want to try cooking something new, the Dreo ChefMaker 2 also comes with a range of 100 pre-programmed recipes in the mobile app, which you can follow in your kitchen with step-by-step instructions. For your peace of mind, you can also monitor the cooking process in real time.
The Dreo ChefMaker 2 will be released in August. We don’t know how much it will cost yet, but the original ChefMaker had a list price of $359 / £279 (about AU$540) at launch, so I’d expect it to be similar, if not slightly more expensive.
