Kitchen appliance company Dreo has released a new air fryer that uses artificial intelligence to transform recipes into smart cooking programs—whether they’re pulled from websites or scanned from cookbooks.

Recipes written for full-size ovens usually require significant modifications to work well in the air fryer, but the Dreo ChefMaker 2, which debuted on CES 2025should make this problem a thing of the past. No more burnt fries or dull, deflated cakes—the air fryer can handle the hard work of calculating new times and temperatures for your favorite foods.
