Does the house smell like oil after its done cooking?

This is an oil free 'fryer' so it's basically a convection oven with a basket.

No. As K. Lee said it's basically a convection oven, but with a high powered blower. A friend bought one after seeing mine work.

Absolutely not. There is no oil. At most I spray just a little garlic infused oil lightly on my fries. The timing is practice. I love mine. I don't order restaurant sweet potato fries anymore I make my own from frozen. Delicious

No. It smells like coconut when you are frying, however, it does not taste strong. It does taste different on an egg than butter or bacon grease would - so, I just started using half and half and then finally my taste accepted the change. Try it for popcorn. It is the absolute best oil to use for that. I love to take slices of sweet potato(already baked) and fry them in coconut oil until they brown a bit - my grandchildren love it.

No, it's not. If possible, you should return it. Anything, including human food, should never smell like rancid oil. If it does, it's no longer good. Marianne

yes, it smells slightly stronger than vegetable oil, but the actual odor is more along the lines of new motor oil. ultimately the smell is pretty faint and goes away about five minutes after its applied.

I think I may have used a bit of olive oil when I sauteed something. The unit didn't last long - very disappointing - would not purchase again. Sorry...

Not really-I just used it and after reading your question I had to go back in the kitchen to see if I smelled anything. The answer was no, but I had been cooking. If there is an odor it is so minimal that it just isn't an issue.

It does have a weird smell to it. It's like any oil, if left out for a long time, it becomes rancid. Check the date it was bottled and if it's within a month, then it's still good. But I would probably keep in fridge if you don't use it quickly.

I think that's actually the smell of wool. We've had ours for a few months and it still has this faint wool smell.

hi, it smells a little until you actually leave it out and cook for the first time. the smell was no real bother compared to other much smellier items I purchased in recent years, although not from that some supplier. the HIC brand is stronger, easier to clean and all.

No, you just have to cure it. I cured it in my kitchen and it smelled quite a bit, but was fine.

No. However if you don't have any kind of ventilation (recirculating or outside) if you cook smokey/smelly things your house will get smokey and smell. That is true of any range.

We have used ours a couple of times now and we have not noticed any bad flavors or odors in the finished baked products. I do not know about the hot oil.

Yes, I personally like to use a little oil/spray before cooking. Keeps the pan in new condition and food tastes better.

Sorry Anharii, mine didn't smell of oil. The only thing I can suggest is wiping it down with a damp soapy cloth and then drying it thoroughly. To avoid subsequent corrosion, I would suggest applying a little baby oil - baby oil is simply refined mineral oil (otherwise known as white oil) with a little fragrance added. It's non toxic and smells better than industrial mineral oil. Hope this helps.

I think it does - as I live in a small apartment - and I do not have any left-over cooking odors. However, my air purifier is in the bedroom, not in the kitchen. That's my best guess!

Yes, you will notice a different smell to the air in your house. It is gone after about a week and a half. Mine had it and the only thing I can compare it to was it smelled like a hospital. I am breathing a lot easier and have not noticed the smell recently.
