Why the Breville Joule Oven Overcooked My Chicken by 25°F — A Smart Oven Put to the Test

Chris Young, co-founder of ChefSteps and creator of the original Joule Sous Vide, puts the Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro through rigorous testing using an 8-sensor predictive thermometer. He reveals how the oven's 'Autopilot' rotisserie chicken feature dramatically overcooked a 5-pound bird because the oven has no internal food temperature feedback — despite its impressive Element iQ heating system. This is episode 1 of a 4-part Smart Oven Showdown series.
