Tis the season for hosting parties, cozy get-togethers gathered around the fireplace, and creating holiday magic to be remembered for the years to come. Let the holiday entertaining commence!
Okay, as good and as joyous as that all sounds, I also dread this time of year. Why? The hours of preparation in the kitchen spent whipping up delicious meals and classic favorite snacks (only to be munched down in the matter of a few minutes) is exhausting. Not to sound “Grinchy”, but I feel a little green when everyone else is having a wonderful time in the next room. I can hear them laughing, giggling as they relax next to the warm fire, while I am elbow deep in food prepping in the kitchen. It doesn’t exactly get me into the Christmas spirit!
This year I am planning on doing myself and everyone else a favor (young and old), I am going to completely utilize my NuWave Brio Healthy Digital 10Q Air Fryer to the max!

NuWave Trusted Brand
Back in 2016 I purchased my first air fryer which was a NuWave 6Q. The appliance lived up to all the hype you probably have seen in the TV infomercials. The innovative kitchen appliance delivered crispy fries, tasty chicken, roasted vegetables, fried fish, and perfect pizza rolls within minutes. I never experienced any technical problems with it and probably used it more than any other appliance I own, including my oven, during the hot summer months. The air fryer was simple to use and cleaned up in seconds! The only thing it was missing was the ability to be able to cook larger batches of food.
Rotisserie Chicken at Home!
Once I discovered NuWave offered a much larger version of the countertop appliance I had to have it! Not only can the NuWave Brio Healthy Digital 10Q Air Fryer cook much larger batches of your favorite foods, but it has a rotisserie feature! That’s right! You can cook a whole chicken in the NuWave Brio 10q! I tested the air fryer out using a 4lb whole chicken and it cooked to perfection in an hour. The manual recommends cooking a whole chicken (up to 6 lbs) on 375 for 10-12 minutes per pound. For the rotisserie function, I don’t think it could hold more than a 4-pound chicken to be able to perfectly turn. Also, no matter if the time is up or not, you should ALWAYS CHECK THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE at the thickest spot. To be safe, according to the FDA chicken should be at least 165 degrees and 160 degrees for pork.
Multifunctional
What I love about the NuWave Brio Healthy Digital 10Q Air Fryer is it is multi-functional. Not only does the appliance air fry your French fries and onion rings to perfection without any of the guilt of a deep fryer, but it can be used for a multitude of other foods too! You can grill meat, roast vegetables, toast sandwiches, bake muffins, dehydrate herbs, make jerky, and more all in the same appliance! It even comes with 5 skewers for delectable kabobs.
Quick Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies
I was able to make scrumptious flaky Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies in the matter of a few minutes in the NuWave Brio! All you need is your favorite pie dough (I used Pillsbury already made pie dough), pie filling, egg wash, and coarse decorating sugar. Place the pies in the air fryer basket, cook on 365 for about 15 minutes, and you have fast-yummy pies to serve to guest!
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
The Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe included in the manual is amazing! Within 15 minutes, the Brussels sprouts were tender, caramelized, and extremely tasty! Great for serving with the rotisserie chicken! You can create an entire healthy, delicious, meal using the NuWave Brio Air Fryer!

Control Panel
Unlike the control panel on the NuWave 6Qt, the NuWave Brio 10Q does not have easy preselect options like, fries, frozen fries, nuggets, steak, poultry, and fish. Instead, you basically need to go by the included guide in the manual to get the best set for the time and temp. It may be a bit more complex for first time air fryer users. However, once you become associated with the controls and experiment with different recipes, you can easily prepare your favorite foods with ease.
The control panel has the options of sear, program, preheat, stage, warm, rotisserie, cook temp, delay, cook time, pause/clear, start, open-vent-close, and on/off. Each one of these settings is explained in the manual on how to use. I recommend thoroughly reading the manual before using the new appliance to be able to achieve the best results.
Program Up to 100 Recipes
The NuWave Brio 10Q allows users to store up to 100 different entries! The manual explains how to do this in detail. This feature is great for your favorite recipes that you have found the perfect time, temp, and additional stages.
Safety
The NuWave Brio Air Fryer is equipped with a built-in automatic shutoff function for ultimate safety. When the lid is lifted the air fryer pauses until it is shut.
Window!
One feature I love about the NuWave Brio 10Q over the smaller air fryers is how you can see the food while it is cooking through the window. This gives you ultimate control over the food and helps take the guess work out of cooking!
Overall-Fantastic!
Want to make everyday life in the kitchen more fun and easier? Don’t hesitate to purchase the NuWave Brio 10Q Digital Air Fryer! This appliance deserves a space on your kitchen counter and will make preparing your favorite foods a breeze. The versatile appliance with its ample 10-quart cooking capacity delivers larger quantities of tasty food for serving a hungry crowd or whole family. And you get all the crispy goodness without any of the guilt! No oil needed!
The nifty innovative appliance can air fry, roast, toast, grill, bake, and rotisserie all in one! It will literally take over using your oven! I love mine!

(STRESS FREE HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING: NUWAVE BRIO HEALTHY DIGITAL 10Q AIR FRYER) I have been reading so much about these awesome air fryers lately. I do like the fact that they cook everything in half the time as an oven could. I may have to purchase one of these someday soon.
I know I’m going to get an air fryer one of these days. I like how ‘fancy’ this one looks, and the chicken came out nicely.
